It took a few months to finally complete all the episodes from the fifth season to the time of the doctor, which means that Xiao 11 is also going away. Every Ph.D. has its own outstanding elements, such as Uncle 9's windy ears, black leather jacket and "Fantastic", Big 10 eyes, Converse, suit, long trench coat and "Allonsy", and for Xiao 11, It is undoubtedly Horse Face, Bowtie, Fez, "Geronimo", maybe even that set of overalls and brown jacket can be counted. 11 is the liveliest and most child-like one of the new doctors I have seen. In contrast, the melancholy of Uncle 9 and Little 10 is unconcealed, and the sadness of 11 has never been revealed in front of others. He is always childish and doesn't look like a 1,000-year-old man at all, and sometimes I even temporarily forget his experience of losing his home star. Even before rebirth, he just said: "The doctor is a-coming" "I'll always remember when the doctor was me."

The 11th Doctor is definetly the most lively and childish Doctor I've seen.Compared to the others,his sadness and struggles could hardly be seen most of the times.He always had a childlike innocence which nearly made me forget his real age or even all the losses he had been through.Even before his regenaration,he was still like:"The doctor is a-coming.""I'll always remember when the doctor was me."

The arrival of 11 is like a fairy tale. The young man who crawled out embarrassedly from the blue box in the yard of Little Amelia, was still wearing a shirt and trousers of Little Ten, with a crooked tie, but a smile on his face. He throws things he doesn’t like to eat like a child, and even warns the dishes he throws out of the house not to sneak back, but he has a soft spot for "fish fingers and custard"-this preference has always been Continued to the day he left. At his last moment in the doctor's time, he picked up the bowl on the lady's console. The bowl contained the fish sticks and custard that he fell in love with the first night after rebirth.

The coming of him was just like a fairy tale.With his tie distorted and shirt ragged, the young man climbed out of the big blue box which crashed in little Amelia's yard.Still he smiled like a kid.Childishly,he threw about everything he didn't like,warned the lifeless dish.At the same time,his love for fish fingers and custard never changed.On the day of regenaration,he picked up the bowl in the Tardis and had his last dessert:fish fingers and custard.

11's departure is also in a fairy tale location. The small town named "Christmas" has only a few minutes of sunshine every day, but people don't have to worry about the darkness. In addition to the lights of every house, there are 11 hundreds of years of protection. He named himself "Sheriff", but what he did was not only the sheriff's own business. He repaired toys for the children, pasted up paintings about himself given by the children in the house, and led them to shout "Cool is not cool" together...

It was at a fairytale place that he left.Named after"Christmas",this little town was just with a few minutes of daily sunlight.Darkness never bothered the townsfolks though,for the Doctor stood as their protector for hundreds of years.He styled himself the Sheriff,but devoted more than a sheriff did.Fixing the children's toys,decorating his house with the pictures children drew for him,shouting"Cool is not cool"with them...he was always energetic and,kind.

Hundreds of years later, the aging 11 is still used to wearing the reading glasses of "the girl who waited". His only human partner, Clara, was personally sent away by him, and his best helper "Handles" was also scrapped due to a malfunction after completing his instructions a hundred years ago. His mortal enemies began to invade the guarded land. The elderly 11 leaned on crutches to face Daleks calmly. The doctor who had escaped so many times said the phrase "I've got nothing this time". Fortunately, under Clara's efforts, 11 got another chance to rebirth. When he yelled for the thirteenth rebirth while waving his cane like a urchin, I really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Centuries later,the Doctor grew old.Sitting in his armchair,he wore Amy's reading glasses habitually though she was long gone.Clara,his one and only human companion was sent home by himself,his best assistant "Handles" scrapped after finishing his instruction given hundreds of years ago.His enemies began to invade this protected land.The Doctor faced the Daleks frankly,holding a walking stick.Indeed he had grown old,with all those escapes from the dead,he said: "I've got nothing this time". Thanks to Clara's endeavor, the Doctor gained the chance to regenarate again. Watching him swing his walking stick and hearing his shout childishly, I actually didn't know how to react.

Back on Mother T, 11 became young again. He saw the little Amelia running past the hanging paintings with a smile, and the grown-up Amy walked down the steps and said goodbye to him with a smile-after all, it was "the first face this face saw". Amy disappeared from his eyes, he smiled, took off his beloved bowtie, and the bow tie fell to the ground, so the 11th story came to an end.

Back in the Tardis, the Doctor became young again.He watched as little Amelia running through the suspended drawings with her laughter.Amy walked down the stairs,bidding her farewell.After she faded,he smiled,taking off his beloved bowtie.His story ended as the bowtie fell onto the ground.

The little prince in the blue box finally had a day to leave.

Finally, it's the time for our Little Prince in the blue box to leave. "Raggedy man.Good night."
