[doctor who] Warning: Shit Getting Depressing

[thatneedslube]

If you've been following our Doctor Who posts here at Fangasmic you know that we're still kind of luke-warm over the 11th Doctor and the new series. Or rather, whyareyoulikethis has warmed up quite a lot and I have warmed up a tiny bit but still hate Matt Smith and think the new series, generally, sucks balls. With the exception of Rory who they of course killed off.

But this week? This was the first episode post-Rory and it was so depressing that the BBC actually interrupted the credits not to talk about when you could watch Doctor Who: Confidential but to let you know that if you were contemplating suicide after that episode they actually had a help line and website set up to talk you out of it.

Think about that for a little while, friends. I mean maaaaybe it's because that episode had the most surprisingly accurate and poignant portrayal of mental illness that we've seen on TV in a while-- but no, we know the truth. It's really because that's how terrible this season is-- even the BBC knew it might drive people to a dark place.
