It my Birthday.

Help.

okay maybe it is just me but look. i don't want the doctor to heal i don't want them to ever stop running. i want doctor who to feel like stepping out of your house into a storm and going out to sea. when the companion leaves they are going somewhere beautiful and terrifying and strange and if it doesn't kill them it will change them irrevocably. and the doctor is immortal enough and strange and traumatised enough to be in this storm forever. and loving him or wanting to travel with him is tragic because companions never can forever. and because the doctor dies again and again and carries on and the story changes and it is always wild and vivid and just keeps on going and going. and it is tragic but wonderful. adventure after adventure. 'street corner at 2am, waiting for a taxi. the life i could never have.'

and i want the doctor to die and change and carry on going. and i want the companions to be forced to leave, or to change, and even if they have a happy ending they still have to leave. i don't want a cop out i want the lovely lovely tragedy at the heart of doctor who. the ending was happy but it didn't stick. it didn't hurt. think how brightly 'i don't want to go' burned, how much vale decem sears your insides. and then there's this. to me at least, it's dull.
