Description

"What're you doing?"

"The worst thing I'd ever do. I'm, going to pass a massive shock through the Starwhale's brain. The ship'll still fly, but the Starwhale won't feel it. It'll leave it vegetable."

"But that's like killing it!"

"Three options. One, I let the Starwhale continue in unbearable agony for hundereds more years. Two, I kill everyone on this ship. Three, I murder a beautiful, innocent creature as painlessly as I can. Then I find a new name, because I won't be the Doctor anymore."



The Doctor's line in The Beast Below nearly broke my heart.

That was one of the best episodes I've ever watched, honestly, especially the end. I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it, but it's a really great message about what he's gone through.

I think Matt Smith did a great job with that scene...
