Ah, no, it's not what I said! Well, not exactly. I understand there is some moping to be expected after the loss of a companion. As I said, I haven't watched Classic Who, so I don't know in which circumstences Adric died or any other companion departed and the Doctor's reaction to that, but I assumed he had already seen much worse than 'lived a long and happy life with their significant other a few years back in the past'.

Was it mentionned in the episode how much time the Doctor had stayed there doing nothing? From what Vastra &co. were saying, I was under the impression it had started to be a while. As I said, it came to me as an overreaction. I would have understood, say, not wanting any more companions (then changing his mind! obviously!), but I thought that outright denying help to people who were in obvious danger was a (big!) step too sulky. He made me think of the First Doctor. Hey, I loved the First Doctor okay, but I thought he had made some significant character development in about 800 years...

(Eh, I'm pretty sure you can do 'mopey and awesome'!)

Well, the thing is...the Doctor could "stay there and do nothing" for a hundred years, or five hundred years, and it wouldn't make a difference -- he's immortal and he has a time machine. He can be anywhere, at any time, if the TARDIS knows where to go.

River Song can get blasted out of an airlock one day and 5,000 years in the future, the Doctor can find out exactly when and where she got blasted out and materialize in the exact right place and time to save her. He can't miss things or be late for things or have events pass him by unless he lands there at the wrong time and then can't cross his own timeline (like what happened with Amy in his first episode).

So if his sulky mourning period is 10x longer than a human's, no one is actually gonna be harmed by his inaction unless the harm is happening at the same place and time as where he is.

Now, the effect staying there and doing nothing has on his own personal mental condition, on the other hand...that's a different story.

I understand the principle of a time machine, thank you. I never thought he would be 'late' for some disaster. I'm saying that sulking up in a corner for 'five hundred years' under the pretext that you can never be late is still being a crybaby and is an overreaction.

If he doesn't want to help people ever again (like he was in the beginning of the episode -and I knew it was obviously not going to stay that way, c'mon, but the Doctor, him, was still resolved to cry on his own fate forever.), well, in that case, yeah, he's going to miss all his disasters by just never showing up. (You know the Doctor is not forever, right? he can die, and if he's still in hermit-mode when it happens, I guess that qualify for 'too late'.)
(But that's not even the point of what I was saying. For my original complaint, refer to paragraph 1.)

Besides, Clara needed help at the same place and time as where he was so... your point? Yeah, he did help her in the end, but it obviously wasn't his intention at the beginning of the episode and wouldn't have done so if she hadn't stalked him.


((Are we just both talking to ourselves, saying whatever we want to say without really replying to what the other brings up and just repeating what we just said after the other one failed to pick up our point in their own obliviousness? Because I'm repeating myself into oblivion right now, and so do you. Maybe I'm not clear enough? If so, just say it, and I will try to clarify as much as I can.))

ayrt

I'm sorry, I was a different anon than the one you replied to the first time (I'm not the "oh pfft" anon.) I realize now I didn't mention that. I feel stupid. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I don't know what I said that made you so annoyed and I'm not sure if you're the other anon who replied to my comment or what exactly you want me to say.

I'm sorry. I knew I shouldn't have commented, even anon, because every time I comment something like this happens. I don't know how to talk and I apparently said something rude and I don't know what it was.

I'm sorry. I don't know what else to say. I'm sorry.

Oh, makes sense! I was annoyed because I thought you were the same anon as before (the "oh pfft" anon (who said they were waiting for my answer?)), not coming back on what they said in the light of what I added, but picking apart seemingly random parts of what I said to avoid following through the conversation.
But you're not them, so obviously not interested in the conversation in the same light, so it's normal you'd bring up some new points to what they said, or even drag the whole argument in an entirely new path!

Sorry I lost my cool! Please don't feel bad about this! I know what it is to feel reluctant to comment, even anonymously. There was absolutely nothing rude in your comment in itself. Really, the error is mine. (Though a mention you weren't the same anon would have helped, ahah!)

You better answer to me because that's my goal and dream and that's the best think you'll have ever done in your life and i genuinly thought this was an interesting conversation and I'll die from asphyxia if you don't.
