Disclaimer: The sandbox belongs to RTD and the BBC. I'm just playing here, in the corner, making little sand-TARDISes. Not making any money, not asserting any claims.
A/N: Another reaction drabble. Unbetad. DO NOT READ if you haven't watched Waters of Mars.
Stupid humans! He likes humanity as a species. They are adventurous, resourceful, and endlessly curious. But some humans just don't measure up. Like Mia. He rescues her in his magnificent TARDIS, and takes her home on the same day she left Mars. What does the foolish girl do? Runs away without even a 'thanks for the lift, Doctor'.
Still, it's Adelaide who really infuriates him. All that intelligence, courage, and potential, and she wastes it. How dare she throw away the life he so generously gave her? Ingratitude and arrogance -- and he can't decide which is the greater sin.

I can see that quite clearly, yes.
(I still happen to think that the problem is effectively a form of nervous breakdown rather than hubris, but perhaps the psychology of a Time Lord works rather differently that way than a human’s? Reminds me almost of what the Doctor said way back in Season Three about the Master.)
That’s probably the truth of it, yes.
WOOT!
Now THAt was a masterpiece. Kudos!!!
"The laws of time are mine, and they will obey me!"
“Is there anything you can't do?” “Not any more.”
"The Time Lord Victorious is wrong!" "That's for me to decide."
Thanks for commenting!
