The Saddest Episode

[Kristen Rucker]

 I want to know. What do you guys think was the saddest episode of Doctor Who?

Personally, I think it was Doomsday (10th Doctor).
That one makes me cry uncontrolably, EVERY STINKIN' TIME.
"I'm burning up a whole sun just to say goodbye to you." Oh.my.gosh.

So, yeah, discuss!

**EDIT**

Hello all. Glad to see I started an interesting discussion. I now wish to add to my list of sad episodes.

There are two more now that make cry every time. 
-Vincent and the Doctor - I'm sorry but the ending is the most beautiful thing. It really speaks and tells the story of a lot of artists, and how much doubt they have in themselves. It really does something when someone praises an artist.  Seeing Van Gogh's reaction to what the guide was saying, and knowing his history, I cry. A lot. 

- The Angels Take Manhattan - Self explanatory.

Amen.

I know! End of time is so sad, at least at Ten's regen. He's the only one to regen w/o a companion!

[Danno]

well, that we see... 7 regenerated off screen, right?  and 8 didn't have a companion after the end of the movie did he?

i think its one of these:

• human nature/the family of blood (when Martha has flash backs and when Johns like "my whole life has been a lie"
• the end of time (nooo! i love you Doctor!!! i cant live without you! *sniffle*)
• doomsday (but im a bit annoyed at the Doctor for taking so long to say "i love you" and then Donna comes along and starts shoutin at him and im like "shut up! you have no idea what hes going through!")
• the day of the moon (when the Doctor regenerates and Amy cant save him and he says "im so sorry" and then he dies and im like "nooo! another Doctor thats really hot has gone and got himself killed! waaaa!!!")
• the girl who waited (older Amy sacrifices herself to give herself the life she never had and when her and Rory are talkin to each other through the door)
• the wedding of River Song (when there are flashbacks and i cant watch the Doctor die again *waaa* "time can be rewritten" "dont you dare" "run away" "running brought me back here" "PLEASE!"

thats the saddest ones i can remember but im sure theres loads more

[Danno]

the 'i love you' issue: i can see where you're coming from, but i honestly think he was trying not to say it in some warped attempt to let them both move on.

Since Lis' death - School Reunion

School Reunion is such a fun episode for me.

I love Lis as well. :)

I think the saddest episode was David Tennat's last one. It was so sad when he said that he didn't want to go, then the ood was sing, it just broke my heart! I loved it, but it was really sad.

[Liza Citron]

I agree!

Did you know they filmed about four versions of it, depending on how much he was crying? You can find it on Confidential.

The ones I think are the saddest are a tie between Vincent and The Doctor, The Doctor's Wife, and The End of Time Part Two

Cause in Vincent and The Doctor that whole last scene where he brings Van Gogh to the museum and the curator explains why he thinks Vincent is the greatest artist of all time but yet Van Gogh still kills himself is just very emotional to me.

Secondly in The Doctor's Wife again the last scene really broke my heart, when the TARDIS says hello. It would be like if you had a very dear friend, maybe a dog or a pet, but you considered them an equal, and now they could talk to you. The TARDIS has been the Doctor's only true companion, in my opinion, because it's been with him the longest and for this episode they could communicate. But before the Doctor gets a chance to really talk to it and discuss all they've been through and seen and love together, she goes back into the TARDIS.

And then the scene with Wilf on the spaceship where the Doctor goes "I'd be proud if you were my dad." And also when Wilf gives him the gun and tells him to use it to kill the master because hesthegreatestmanhesevermetandhedoesn'twanthimtodie. That scene really killed me.
