The Emotion is Real (Top Moments of the Doctor Part 12)

Welcome back to yet another Doctor Who Sunday post! This week we continue our way through some of the greatest moments of modern Doctor Who! You can go through the archive of posts (to the right) if you want to find some of the other parts.


56. Amy is a Ganger in The Almost People




This is a scene that even chokes up the Doctor. If you have the time, you really should watch the clip (I know you have to go through to YouTube but it is worth it). In it we discover the real reason why the Doctor went to the early days of the Flesh. We find this reason to be that he wanted to find out more information about it so that he could sever the connection between Amy and the flesh body which her consciousness is in. Amy saying how scared she is while Rory slowly backs away is just heartbreaking.

57. Rory demands answers from the Cybermen in A Good Man Goes to War




This scene starts the Season 6 Part 1 Finale A Good Man Goes to War. In it the Doctor and Rory are trying to find Amy and so they go to the 12th Cyber Legion and Rory demands to know where his wife is. You really have to love the Doctor's message.

58. Protecting Melody Pond in A Good Man Goes to War




This is another of those emotional scenes. Just when you think that the battle is over and the Doctor has won you find out something else entirely. Suddenly, the battle is only just beginning and it becomes a battle to save Amy and Rory's daughter; Melody. It is a great scene where we see many different sides to the Doctor. We see the Time lord victorious and the time lord distraught. There is a lot to make this scene one of the bests. For one, we find that the Doctor has been fooled again and that the Pond's child is actually a ganger and the real one is with Madame Kovarian.

59. "How far you've come." from A Good Man Goes to War




I know this is a fan-made video but it makes the scene so much better with all the different cut scenes that allow you to understand what is going on. In this scene we see the result of River's prophecy. River refused to come and help the Doctor save Amy before as she said that the Doctor will rise so far and then fall so much further. This scene comes right before the big reveal of season six; River Song's true identity. This is a very reflective scene that looks back at how far the Doctor has come from when he began and it serves as a wake-up call for him. This fan-made video makes the scene that much better.

60. River Song's Identity in A Good Man Goes to War




There is so much emotion in this week's Doctor Who Sunday that I can not even handle it. This scene just caps it off with River's true identity revealed. I am warning you that if you are not yet up to this, finish reading this post right NOW or else it will not come as a shock. In this scene we finally learn the real reason why River did not come to help the Doctor save Amy. It was because that she knew her baby self would be there because (SPOILERS) her real name is Melody Pond. The reason why she took the name River Song is because the people of the gamma forest did not have a name for Melody or Pond as the only water in the forest is the River (a reference to the ending of The Doctor's Wife). It is very emotional.

Wow, I really need a box of tissues after writing this Sunday's post. See you tomorrow!
