I would flail like a happy, flaily thing if you were to post this to [info]metatardis. Just saying. :) Can do! :) (I've been meaning to join, but life... *waves hands around in Eleven-y fashion*)
That is such a Seven thing to do, by the way. One of the hallmarks of the Seven/Ace relationship was that he very rarely just told her stuff - he'd ask her questions and make her figure it out herself. One day I'll get round to watching Seven (and Ace) - everyone who loves them always goes 'OMG THEY'RE AWESOME' and they sound very much like the sort of dynamic I'd love.
That's an excellent point that I'd completely missed. I can't remember when I first thought of it, but it struck me that Ten win the wars, but loses the battles... Doomsday: Saves the world, loses Rose. LotT: Saves the world, loses the Master & Martha leaves. Journey's End: Saves the world, loses Rose again, and Donna. He fights these huge battles, and emerges as the victor, his enemies destroyed - only to have to face a personal tragedy. And Victory of the Daleks turns this on its head, and I love watching the way he can't grasp the fact that they got away. This never happens (apart from Dalek Sek in Manhattan, but I'm not counting that), and learning to accept this is *hugely* helpful!
