I think [[The Snowmen (TV story)]] is proof that the Doctor whould not consider suicide. When he lost Amy and Rory, who were family to him, he retired...he didn't find a way to commit suicde or entertain the notion. He simply retired.

: And that would be a non-sequitar. You can't ague the mindset of the Tenth at a particular position by referencing the mindset of the elventh at a different position several hundred years later. A lot has happened since then. | |||
: Do I think the tenth was suicidal? I have only just started watching the episode for the first time since they were originally transmitted so can't comment bsolutely but at the moment I think we need stronger evidence generally to claim that sort of thing really. It's pretty massive. | |||
: However the tenth Doctor from the moment we met him, questioning his identity to the moment he regenerated with, as you mention, "I don't want to go." he seemed more unique than any other incarnation so far. He seems to see himself, Doctor 10, as an individual, independent from either the incarnations that preceded him or those that will follow him. He sees his regeneration as actually death to him else why else make the comment. But even so why would he need to share that thought with the audience? It seems pretty obvious if 10 sees himself that way, it echoes the words of Cassandra in New Earth, of course, but it may also be intentionally given as the answer to a question that his internal dialogue has been debating for sometime. So the preposition that the tenth had a suicidal aspect in his character, while likely is not, however, completely unfounded.[[User:DCT|DCT]] [[User talk:DCT|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 17:06, August 1, 2013 (UTC) | |||
