Calvin was traumatized by Madame de Pompadour
Sci-Fi did a replay of Doctor Who - "Girl in the Fireplace" (one of my favs) the other day. After watching it for the 1001st time, I thought I'd screen the episode w/ Calvin. I figured it was one of the least scary episodes and I'd be able to skip all the romantic scenes between the Doctor and Reinette.
What I didn't account for was Calvin becoming DEVASTATED about Reinette not getting to travel with the Doctor and dying before he could return for her. I completely understand his sadness. I was just shocked that it hit him so hard when we skipped most of the scenes of them making googly-eyes at each other. For a couple of hours afterward, the boy is very fragile. No more stories with sad endings any time in the near future for Calvin.
