I need to stop watching Doctor Who. I just finished season four and I am a weeping mess. For a show I generally describe to people as a comedy, it sure knows how to absolutely shatter me emotionally.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
This is the presice reason I haven't been watching Doctor Who. I don't think I can handle the distress from something that's both optional and supposed to be entertainment!

Probably for the best. And now all my friends are like, "Oh, gee, if you thought 'Journey's End' made you weep, 'The End of Time' was even worse"' I CAN'T HANDLE THIS.
Next up is 'Children of Earth', actually and I'm hoping it might maybe be a little less traumatizing because I know who dies already, but I'm not counting on it.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Uh. I found Children of Earth traumatizing to the point where I wished I hadn't watched it.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
zuisa, I would not recommend Children of Earth right now. Just knowing who dies doesn't eliminate the trauma, IMHO.

Eh, well, it's 'Children of Earth' or 'The End of Time', really. I've been watching both series in the order they air so just in case somebody references something I'll know what they're talking about.
I'm prepared to weep, though. But man do I need to start watching shows that are happy.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Aya. There is lots of trauma to go around with CoE.
Now, I'm imagining the anti-Oprah..."You get some trauma; you get some trauma. Everyone gets some trauma!"

Thrive to spite them
I watched teh first part of Children of the Earth and never finished it. I just didn't want to deal with it. I'm not sure if I'm going to watch the new Torchwood.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Do you really know who dies? I mean, Torchwood regular cast casualties aren't what made me tell Daniel I hated him for making me watch CoE.
ETA: Yeah, I second the "don't watch" recommendation. It hurt.

Haha, well, let's put it this way: I know which major member of the Torchwood team will not be with us afterwards. But I'm assuming it will be much worse than that. Presumably the death toll will be very high, and I've finished Day 1 and can tell it's going to be bad.
But honestly, if it upsets me more than the end of "Journey's End" just did, I'll be almost impressed.
I must have some kind of sickness that I put myself through this.
