*nods* it's... yeah, unsure how I felt about it sounds about right. *shrugs* I guess it's a matter of writer's view...? *grumps* As soon as that slow motion bit ended, I was like... RTD is working to totally break down the Doctor. At times it feels like he's out to reduce the Doctor to a mass of... guilt and loss that cannot operate anymore. Don't know to what end, but I got that impression somewhere during season 3 and I can't shake it off... (ok, something the Doctor says in the trailer for the next season MIGHT be a clue, but still... it's cruel?)
Tonks says... "I don't think I've watched all that much muggle television, just selected things. But... if you'd not worked to save the six billion, she wouldn't have survived either, would she? Besides, it wasn't your decision, you didn't choose them before her. It was hers alone. She knew precisely what she was doing and what she was losing. You were right, she ended up flying - but not just because you let her out among the stars. Because she'd earned her place there, too... You did all you could. So did she."
... oy, Tonks has this Thing about people with survivor's guilt...
