He was being kind.
green_maia has a very interesting post here about enjoyment of abuse of power versus abuse of power rooted in despair. This is just me turning thoughts over in my head, so lots of rambling. ETA: Or you can just read my reply to her post, since that's like the whole of this post in two lines...

I actually popped by here to thank you for the lovely things you said about my vid! I'm flattered you liked it enough to post a link on your journal, and all the more so when I saw the quality of comments. Thankyou very much! :D

Isn't it just? This is one of the reasons I love meta so much - one thought leads to another and everyone brings something to the table. :)
I like all the points you guys have put in here; the ending of those eps really threw me at the time, and its great to read such articulate thoughts on the subject!
Oh thank you - although I think that the commenters did more than me.
I certainly agree on 10 being the most human of the doctors and I would argue the most emotionally complicated as well. Yes, 9 had problems, but they were fairly straightforward and out in the air. 10 is more unpredictable and it is so interesting to discuss the reasons behind his actions!*nods a lot* I think it ties in with Ten being the protagonist/hero - the story revolves around him (as opposed to Eleven who's back to the traditional Doctor-y role of being the enabler/wizard character, something which is also lovely). Anyway, it allowed Ten to be incredibly complex, and for RTD to explore all kinds of interesting things ( ... )
