Yeah, no kidding. I mean, it's probably going to be angst-fic fuel. Then again, I think the Doctor himself is angst-fic fuel. In my opinion, he's one of the saddest characters in all of fiction. (And yet strangely enough, he's also one of the most inspiring. I think it's his love for humanity, his compassion, etc. that really is wonderful. I know, for example, him forgiving the Master in "Last of the Time Lords" is a good example of how kind he really is) And I think the angst-fic flooding in once Eleven regenerates is definitely a given. *Sighs* I really am going to miss that madman with a fez and bowtie...
And thanks. Hopefully, Twelve will be better. I mean, the Doctor deserves a break for once. I guess...you know what's really depressing? How even after all the good he's done and the people he's made better, he thinks he's a monster. I mean, he's not. He may have done some monstrous things, but he's not a monster himself. I know that seeing certain stuff like Davros verbally dissecting him in "Journey's End" and whatnot doesn't help; well-done as those scenes are, it definitely feels like, "Goddamn, the Doctor's enemies are playing hardball here."
But yeah, hopefully with Twelve, they'll give the Doctor a break for once.
