See, I...wouldn't. I want to like the Doctor - I'm used to liking the Doctor, flaws and all - and I find characters who waver and make mistakes and come close to breaking but *don't* much more interesting than those that do. Broken characters are fun, yeah, but there's comparatively little attention devoted to how people heal and redeem themselves and I find that fascinating.

That, and most of my experience with characters cracking under strain has been from awful, trying-too-hard Darker And Edgier fic and spinoffs, so I kind of got unfairly turned off the trope.

But if he ended up going so crazy he became Crazy Awesome instead? That, I might be able to get behind. :)
