OP

[(Anonymous)]

...I've only ever posted two secrets in the last couple of weeks, and they both ended up as #8. Weird. :)

Re: OP

[bhstech.livejournal.com]

THANK YOU! I'm not alone. I sobbed like a baby...and I NEVER cry at TV. EVER. what an episode...and I only watch the DW episodes with a historical or archaeological title...yes yes, I know i'm doing it wrong, but it's how I enjoy DW :P

Re: OP

[robintheshrew.livejournal.com]

So did I, but hey, I'm a very sappy person when it comes to tv shows, movies, etc. I can't cry at funerals or real things like that (I get a more physical reaction, trouble breathing, nausea) It's odd...

But yeah, this episode was beautiful but heartbreaking.

[youtoxic.livejournal.com]

I'm not a big fan of the new series tbqh. But that ep was really good.

[ilikehumanflesh.livejournal.com]

Oh my GOD, that episode.

[agnes-bean.livejournal.com]

Tears forever, yes.

[spider-rogue.livejournal.com]

oh man, I STILL cry at that episode, and I've watched it at least 4 times now.

[loony-daydreams.livejournal.com]

I feel like I was the only one who hated this episode. If you liked it, that's cool, but I felt like it was holding a gun to my head and going "CRY BITCH."

OP

[(Anonymous)]

I get how it could feel that way. ^^;; I guess my problem was knowing that, despite everything, he still killed himself, and that the writers didn't/couldn't change it because that's what the real Vincent did. So, even if the Doctor was real, it wouldn't matter, and that's what killed me. Metaphorically speaking, of course. ^^;;

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

The way I saw it, the Doctor and Amy *did* matter, and that's what made me cry more than anything. Like the Doctor said the The Lazarus Experiment, "some people live more in 20 years than others do in 80"; he still didn't lead a long life, but the Doctor and Amy brought a happiness to it/added to his pile of good things, and that definitely mattered.

Re: OP

[loony-daydreams.livejournal.com]

Funny, that's kind of what killed it for me (um, honestly no pun intended here either) - he takes him to this future where he's The Greatest Artist of All Time, then dumps him back to a place where peasants throw stones at him and no-one cares about his work. It's plausible that the Doctor actually wound up causing his suicide but I highly doubt the writers meant it that way.

Or if they wanted to keep the fact that he committed suicide historically but still wanted that scene with Bill Nighy (and let's be honest, who wouldn't want a scene with Bill Nighy?) they could have had some fun with divergent timelines, with one past where he kills himself and one where he doesn't? I don't know. The whole thing just didn't hang together for me and it seemed like the only reason for that museum scene was to wring a few tears from the cold hearts of cynical harpies like me. Especially scored by that Athlete song. Come on now.

But hey, this is all just my opinion and I've been as deeply affected by other episodes as you were by this one. Father Octavian's death gets me every time.

[adlanth.livejournal.com]

Hm, I wouldn't say that of the episode in general but it applied to the music, which I found poorly chosen and very irritating... and yet in spite of my resistance the end scene still managed to make admittedly-easy-to-bring-to-tears-me cry.

[kallanda-lee.livejournal.com]

I didn't cry, but I thought it was thoroughly human, beautiful, and sad.

Hey, I'm 20 years old and in college, and my Whovian friends there are all female. We spend our Friday nights with Doctor Who and Supernatural. We exist! :D

[singeaddams.livejournal.com]

It was a beautiful episode. I'm a Classic Who fan but watching 11 and Amy drag Vincent off to the museum is my favorite scene ever.

[(Anonymous)]

I have bipolar disorder, and seeing Vincent in that much pain, knowing what it feels like, and knowing that in the end he still kills himself... I have to have some strong tea and a cat on my lap to watch this episode, however much I love it. I misted up at the Rose/Ten scenes in the finales, and I got some chills at the Time Lord Victorious speech, but this is the only time I've legitimately broken down crying at Dr. Who. You are not alone, OP!

[cherrycoloured.livejournal.com]

I cried at this one too. I already was a fan of Van Gogh, and the way he was shown in this episode was so beautiful that I cried.

[hoopyfroodyford.livejournal.com]

Augh, this episode. <3 It's my favourite Doctor Who episode, ever... and one of my favourites from any TV show. Something about it just hits home. And while I'd always appreciated Van Gogh as an artist, this episode helped me fall in love with his work. :)

[sensualcoco.livejournal.com]

Man that episode killed me. As an art student and someone who's struggled with depression I related to it entirely too much.

[dwell-ondreams.livejournal.com]

I, too, sobbed at this episode. It was so beautiful & so sad. Even just thinking about it. *sniffles*

[zoey-says.livejournal.com]

Definitely not alone. I got all teary eyed and sniffle-y at the end of this episode too. Both times I've watched it.

I don't know if I'm getting more sensitive, if the things I'm watching hit home harder or have better writing, but in the past few years I've found that more and more episodes and movies have been making me cry. It's bizarre because I never used to. I really have to fight them back if I'm not alone.
