"I think it's a testament to whoever was writing The War Games that I don't think Doctor Who ever got more devastating than that, even when companions actually died."

I know. And I've been pretty heartbroken over a number of them, too. But The War Games like...haunts my nightmares. I'll think of it periodically and get the desire to run outside and let out a devastated yell, or something. The memory wipe?! Like thirty seconds after he said he'd never forget him?! *YELLS* And if the really wrenching circumstance of the departure of companions part wasn't enough, the last we see Two, he is HOWLING IN AGONY.

Not to mention the story to begin with jumps right into a harrowing, paranoid energy. I flailed the whole way through that thing, really.
