This has to be Tennants top moment. Through his acting you can see just how weary and tired the Doctor is. How tired he is of all the things he can't save. Tired of losing people. Tired of himself. You can see it in his eyes, the pain and grief that he goes through over and over. And he's sick of it. David Tennant not only nails this scene perfectly but I don't think anyone else could pull off this scene better other than himself. It's reasons like this he'll always be my favorite Doctor.

“She flies out there, like she’s trying to meet you.” - The Doctor.

I love that line so much. So raw, and real and powerful. ❤️

2:18 "You die today" the tone, the sheer finality of that statement. Gives me chills every time. Bravo David, Bravo.

[Juliett-A]

Moments like this are why David Tennant will always be the best Doctor. Anyone can run around being daft. He genuinely conveyed the existential horror of being a 1, 000 year old god who ultimately can't change anything.

the dr looked so tired here, tired of everything

[darudesandstrom]

I like how the doctor respects Adelaide enough to tell her the truth, knowing that she’s strong enough to handle it

[TheFennieYap]

This was the scariest episode of Doctor Who I ever watched. Scariest by far.

[jaimie]

Gotta love how Tennant's face is lit like a skull. Really striking imagery, reminds you of the Doctor's power over life and death that comes with being a time traveller.

You had to mention Pompeii, didn't you Doctor?

[NilsMcCloud]

"Damn you."

Urgh...the weight.

[jonathankozenko]

This scene reminded me a lot of 'The Satan Pit', and I thought both were brilliant because they had moments like this.  The existential, bleak and sad moments.  They were both creepy, but these moments resonate, in my opinion, far more than the scarier elements.

This episode is so underrated, I don't know why! It's probably tied for my favorite new who episode, tied with the day of the doctor. Probably the scariest monsters in the entire history of the show were on this episode!

"Anything I do...just makes it happen." - I tear up every time!

[kurogane]

"What's gonna save you? Captain Adelaid Brook". Thatt one sentence from him shows just how heartbroken he is. It shows just how tragic and unfair the whole situation is.

I always preferred this era's emphasis on Drama. Not that there's no drama in the current era. It's just a personal preference.

[sebastianfitzptraick]

It's been nearly seven years since this episode aired and Doctor Who has still never matched this level of quality. Such a pity Russel and David left, they were a great duo.

[realafan]

I love the delivery at 1:04. You can just feel the pain of the Doctor as he thinks of the oceans of bloods he's created with the actions he's taken. The lives he ruined as he "saved the day" from the greater threats.

[christopherjohnston]

One of the best scenes in Doctor Who's history.

[ControversialCarp]

Bringing up Pompeii as the hypothetical is a crazy way to tell the audience how this episode will go down.

[liamgradwell]

This story was basically the Doctor questioning himself about how he travels in time. About how he has to keep following the rules of time, but in that one moment, he wanted to break the rules for once, and he feel more alive than he ever was. But it came at a great price. The Doctor felt all of that and more.
