Doctor Who: 10 Reasons You'll Never Be Cooler Than The Doctor

6. He Planned His Own Death And Fooled The Universe

The ability to fake your death is something that many characters in movies and TV shows have been able to do time and time again. They make it look easy. Generally speaking, these characters' deaths don't result in all of time happening at once. The Doctor's death, of course, basically results in the end of the universe. If he avoided his death, it would surely mean the end of time. The Doctor faces a tricky balancing act. He has to plan his own death that fulfills the need for time to continue, and he also has to survive this death. Logical contradictions, no? Not for the Doctor. He thinks his way out of this situation, faking the most important death in the universe... and getting away with it. Much cooler than Sherlock falling off that roof.
