I just can't help but think that if it had been Eleven there with Davros, with River trying to destroy something or other in order to save the day, the whole thing would have fallen completely flat...
Davros: 'LOOK SHE IS A MURDERER BECAUSE OF YOU!' Eleven: 'And...?'
Mm . . . no. Not quite, I don't think.
Davros: LOOK WHAT YOU'VE MADE HER INTO, DOCTOR! THE MAN OF PEACE, WHO MAKES A WEAPON OUT OF EVERYONE HE TOUCHES- Eleven: And you're staring right down the barrel of all of them. Care to re-evaluate your position?
Although I do think that Eleven would have something of a crisis over Martha and the Osterhagen Key. She'd call him on it; you know, "If it came down to a planet or the universe, which would you choose?"
At which point, he would just lose it for a second or two and say, "OF COURSE! I CHOSE! THE UNIVERSE! And then while Martha is still processing chose, with this look of dawning horror on her face, he'd get himself under control again and do his best to pretend the previous moment never happened at all.
That entire thing is gold, but At which point, he would just lose it for a second or two and say, "OF COURSE! I CHOSE! THE UNIVERSE! And then while Martha is still processing chose, with this look of dawning horror on her face, he'd get himself under control again and do his best to pretend the previous moment never happened at all. literally made me flail with feels because THAT IS JUST WHAT WOULD HAPPEN. I, I, don't even. That's perfect. Please write this thing!
I . . . am not sure if I can, actually, because I'm not sure what to do with all the plot elements that lead into it. But I'll give it a think-through and see what pops up. (Which may be an entirely different story, but you're right; that particular moment is very Eleven, and I should write it at some point.)
Davros: LOOK WHAT YOU'VE MADE HER INTO, DOCTOR! THE MAN OF PEACE, WHO MAKES A WEAPON OUT OF EVERYONE HE TOUCHES- Eleven: And you're staring right down the barrel of all of them. Care to re-evaluate your position? Mmmmm. It was late, I was very tired. Your version is definitely better & more likely. Although I'm also rather partial to:
Davros: LOOK WHAT YOU'VE MADE HER INTO, DOCTOR! THE MAN OF PEACE, WHO MAKES A WEAPON OUT OF EVERYONE HE TOUCHES- River: Yeah. He thinks it's hot. Davros: ... Eleven (blushes): Well... Yes. And she has this thing for handcuffs which... (catches himself) Which means you should back down.

WHICH IS WHY YOU SHOULD WRITE THIS OMG!
I don't follow the Dr. Who fandom (even though I love the show), so I wasn't aware a lot of people didn't like this. I heart it, even with Donna's totally heartbreaking end. She's still my fave companion. Donna Noble rocks!
And Wilf!!!! I heart him to infinity and beyond. Heh.

Yeah, I never had a problem - and often it's best to stay away from fandom! *g* (Not that I can't understand people's objections, but I am able to ignore them!)
She's still my fave companion. Donna Noble rocks! There's only one Donna!
And Wilf!!!! I heart him to infinity and beyond. Heh. Wilf is everything that is good. (More or less. And you know that the actor was in the Doctor Who movie waaaaaay back in the day, right?)
I never understood that silly look Ten and Rose gave each other after she mentioned the Dimension Cannon. Because it had already been established that she'd built it because the stars were going out and she believed only the Doctor could help. It was a moment when even a huge shipper like myself wanted to slap Rose on the face. I guess RTD wanted to make some point about how Ten lets Rose get away with things he'd never allow other people to do, but it was massively inconsistent with the Rose we saw in Turn Left and I was very cross with him. Way to pander to the Rose-haters, RTD!
Uh-huh. I remember being v. disappointed with Rose in the last two episodes, because she was SO BAMF in Turn Left, and then suddenly she turned into this one-tracked character. 'Twas sad. Ah well, that's how Rusty sees her, so there's not much we can do...
See, I prefer to believe that while Rose was ridiculously in love with the Doctor, she never would have risked the integrity of the universes if the stars hadn't already been going out. Yeah, maybe I love him and he fixes things and once I get to him everything will be all right got tangled together into a sort of giant thing, but the initial impetus was, stars dying. Get help at all costs.

Yes, I remember! I loved the way they circled back to that later and made him Donna's grandfather. Brilliant! :-)
