I TAKE IT BACK I TAKE THIS BACK SOOOOO MUCH.
IT WAS NOT HAND WAVEY ABOUT THE DOCTORS TRAUMA AND GRIEF!!!!! NOT AT ALL!!! IT DID NOT JUST DISAPPEAR IT ALL!!! AND I TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY MISSED THAT UNTIL NOW!!!
the "we're doing rehab out of order" line!!!!!! it TOTALLY went over my head the first time. and then seeing a post that specifically highlighted that line and how fifteen says he's fine because you (tenthree) fixed himself. as in — tenthree does all of the processing and healing through his life on earth with donna and co, and because they are still the same person the healing tenthree does is the healing that fifteen DID already!!! the bigeneration isn't an exaxt split of the doctor in that very moment — it's a split of the doctor in that moment and the doctor of the future!!!! so tenthree gets to live out his life with donna and when that comes to an end, he dies and gets reabsorbed into fifteen. they merge back into the one doctor, because they always HAVE been one doctor, even if two of them are co-existing.
okay. OKAY. on the one hand i love love LOVED the doctor getting to live out a normal life with his best friend platonic soulmate donna and be apart of that family unit again and be SO HAPPY TOO. but on the other hand. i do kind of not like how hand wavey it felt wrt all of the doctors trauma and grief and that deeply unmoored feeling that has been following him for AGES and has only grown stronger as of late. like i want to see the doctor actually like. FACE IT. and like work through it, head on. OBVIOUSLY this bigeneration thing has raised SO many new questions so who knows!! maybe it WILL get addressed with fifteen!! maybe it WASNT as hand wavey as it seemed! but yeah idk man. right now specifically, i just wish we got that.
