[Doctor Who]

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe because it was less narratively inevitable than those other scenes? Or maybe just the content of that scene struck more of a chord with you?

For me, the bit of that episode that got to me was John Smith's completely baffled "falling in love never occurred to him? What kind of a man is that?"

[fauxkaren]

David Tennant killed it in that episode as John Smith.

[(Anonymous)]

It really shows what a beautiful actor he can be. I adore DW, don't get me wrong, and I especially loved Tennant's take on the character, but sometimes it seemed as though the script was written to confine to ~very~ specific emotions and reactions.

One things that makes me immensely sad is that Tennant would be an adorable/brilliant romantic comedy lead, and the one true attempt he's had at it (Casanova not withstanding) in The Decoy Bride was mostly rubbish. He's terrific in it, as is Kelly MacDonald, and their chemistry is gorgeous, but that script was awful. Just so, so bad.

I need some epic romcom Tennant in my life, is what I'm saying. For real.

[(Anonymous)]

See if you can find his Much Ado About Nothing with Catherine Tate. That's as romcom as it gets and it's wonderful.

[(Anonymous)]

If it helps, I'm pretty sure I teared up. I'm also pregnant and was in my first tri when I decided to give DW a chance, so I cried at all those scenes. Well. Teared up anyway. Few things make me outright sob.

[fauxkaren]

I think the thing that actually made me cry the most in all of Doctor Who was the scene between Pete and Rose in "Father's Day".

[(Anonymous)]

I cheered when Rose was trapped on the other side, little did I know she would keep coming back again and again rendering even the slight bit of drama wrung from that co-dependent mess utterly pointless.

[kallanda_lee]

We all have different emotional buttons. There is no reason why one should be superior to the other.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm the exact opposite, I cry at both those other scenes, but just get bored during that "what if" scene, while everyone else goes on about how emotional it is, and how they all cried. I feel like I'm the only person who really didn't care for that scene, or even those two episodes as a whole, all that much.

[(Anonymous)]

You're not the only one. I generally want to skip those two episodes. I never really liked them.

[(Anonymous)]

I love the Family of Blood episodes, but I feel like you do with regards to Blink (and subsequent Angel stuff). Everyone seems to go absolutely bonkers over that episode and I just found it pretty meh/boring.

[intrigueing]

Well, that scene was a very different type of sad scene than the other two you mention. Maybe that type of sad scene just affects you more?

I'm vaguely baffled over who would be genuinely sad over the death of a character's horrifically toxic and abusive mass-murdering ex-friend who has a skin-crawlingly exploitative stranglehold on said character's feelings and mental disorder, though. Even though I really do enjoy the everloving hell out of the ship. Unless by "sad" you mean having temporary empathy with how terrible it must've felt for the Doctor at the moment, or something.

[(Anonymous)]

For me, the Master being dead didn't make me sad at all (aside from a 'oh, he was a great villain, it's a shame they didn't keep him on' sort of sad), but the Doctor being absolutely gutted and flat out sobbing made me cry along with him.

I love Doctor/Master (as well as the non-romantic take on that relationship), but yeah... not the healthiest of relationships, to say the least. Mental disorder, though? Of the Doctor's? What do you mean? (Just curious)

[intrigueing]

Yeah, I totally understand that reasoning. Ah, and by mental disorder, I was referring to the whole massive guilt complex over multiple different issues and PTSD and isolation and being starved for contact with another member of his species, and all.

Funnily enough, I don't really like shipping it in old series precisely because of the fact that the biggest of those issues are mostly in the context of the new series. Even though I really like hero/villain pairings, I tend to have very little patience with the heroes' ~feeeeeelings~ if they tolerate too much bullshit without strong enough reasons, so extra-massive issues make the ship less irritating, even though they make it way more messed up.

[rbhudson]

So you don't cry at ever scene, there's nothing wrong with that. I believe I cried at every one of those scenes, but I'm a sap :P

[tenlittlebullets]

Paul Cornell is very, very good at pushing buttons. I don't remember whether I cried during that scene, but it's certainly gut-wrenching, and "Father's Day" invariably gets me sobbing my eyes out at multiple points throughout the episode. Funnily enough, the only other Who episode that can do that is also in s1--"Parting of the Ways." I completely lose it at Emergency Program One and then am such a wreck that I'll damn well start sobbing whenever RTD wants me to start sobbing.

(Episodes with single moments of sniffliness include Eleven by Amy's bedside in "The Big Bang," the Idris-ghost at the end of "The Doctor's Wife," and River's final speech in "Forest of the Dead"--"but I do think that all the skies of all the worlds might just go dark if he ever, for one moment, accepted it." I'll take 'issues with mortality' for $500, Alex!)
