First, I would like to say that while I don't like the Doctor when he's apologizing to someone/everyone/himself (which seems like at least once every episode), when he's silly or absurdly dark I love him to death. In the Waters of Mars, I feel like I finally met MY tenth Doctor. I saw a glimpse of him in the end of the Family of Blood episode set, but here... HERE...

I like my Doctors dark, what can I say?



Second, I have a perfect song for him.

Building a Mystery, by Sarah McLachlan

you come out at night
that's when the energy comes
and the dark side's light
and the vampires roam
you strut your rasta wear
and your suicide poem
and a cross from a faith
that died before Jesus came
you're building a mystery

you live in a church
where you sleep with voodoo dolls
and you won't give up the search
for the ghosts in the halls
you wear sandals in the snow
and a smile that won't wash away
can you look out the window
without your shadow getting in the way
oh you're so beautiful
with an edge and a charm
but so careful
when I'm in your arms

'cause you're working
building a mystery
holding on and holding it in
yeah you're working
building a mystery
and choosing so carefully

you woke up screaming aloud
a prayer from your secret god
you feed off our fears
and hold back your tears

give us a tantrum
and a know it all grin
just when we need one
when the evening's thin

oh you're a beautiful
a beautiful fucked up man
you're setting up your
razor wire shrine


And third, seeing him go will be both heart-wrenching, and heart warming. (So sick of Rose this, last of the Time Lords that.) Allow me to officially state that I think I will absolutely ADORE Matt Smith as Eleven, thus completely breaking my pattern of only like the even numbered Doctors. So let the record state: I LIKED ELEVEN BEFORE ELEVEN WAS POPULAR.
