What use are emotions if you will not save the woman you love?
#so this scene #is one of the most poignant of series one #the doctor is first elated that rose is alive #he didnt fail her and let jackie down #but then he realizes #keeping her alive means freeing the dalek#and that could mean the destruction of humanity #he already stopped the daleks once #and he sacrificed everything so that space and time could be saved #now he wonders if he has to kill his best friend to do it again #you can see it in his face #the look of relief that fades to sadness #but he cant let her die #he cant do that again #for the first time in this angry and bitter regeneration #he is going to let his tender emotions win #hes gonna save rose (via jedidoctor)
