Nicholas Courtney has died. crap, you guys. I mean, not to sound callous and horrible, but I don't usually...care, exactly, about celebrity deaths since, you know, I don't know them. But idk, it's been a really crappy day and this is really upsetting me for some reason. (Okay, it's because I have a really ridiculously emotional attachment to the Brigadier, and he's not supposed to DIE, but that's stupid and also I do, in fact, know the difference between fiction and reality. So.)

I know! Between Courtney's being such an institution in the franchise and seeming like a really decent guy on the real-life hand, and all the Doctors who we'll never get to see in an adventure with the Brig on the Doylist hand, I'm already pretty broken up. But then you bring in the Watsonian hand, and I'm all THE DOCTOR'S OLDEST SURVIVING FRIEND IS GONE! AND WHAT ABOUT SARAH JANE! and I'm just wrecked.

Yeah, I'm...seriously looking sideways at myself, but I'm pretty sure the reason this is making me actually cry is because my immediate reaction is "BUT THE DOCTOR NEEDS HIM D: D: D:" and, well, I'm very emotionally fragile today. And also, just, he seemed so nice. (Courtney, I mean. Obviously.) Not many people who unexpectedly find themselves objects of an obsessive cult following seem that genuinely friendly about it.

WAUGH, I feel basically the same way, I think you've basically both hit it for me here. :(
