were_lemurDoctor Who, Eleventh Doctor, all ages, not mine. The Doctor thinks about how things could have happened differently in "Angels take Manhattan."
Spoilers for the episode. And I'm gonna call this one Read at your Own Risk.
Later on, alone in his TARDIS, he'll think about all the ways that things could have ended differently. All the ways that he could still have the Ponds traveling with him.
He'll come to the conclusion that there was a tipping point, a moment which made everything that was to follow inevitable, and he will rage at himself, and at time itself for not warning him or allowing him to call the fatal moment back.
But he has no warning as they sit in Central Park, as he reaches for Amy's glasses and says,
"They make your eyes all line-y."
