The End of the World

"You lot. You spend all your time thinking about dying. Like you're going to get killed by eggs, or beef, or global warming, or asteroids. But you never take the time to imagine the impossible. That maybe you survive.

This is the year 5.5/Apple/26. Five billion years in your future. And this is the day...hold on. This is the day the sun expands. Welcome to the end of the world."

--The Doctor
"The End of the World"

It's when I heard this speech the first time that I knew the rebooted Doctor Who was in good hands and I didn't have to worry. Still sends chills up my spine every time I hear Chris Eccleston deliver it. This story for me represents everything great Russell T Davis brought to the series, and will probably top my list for favorite Ninth Doctor stories (yes, even more than The Empty Child).
