Doctor's Wife - Disturbing Realization - Spoilers

[jhumor]

So I just realized something that I haven't seen anyone mention anywhere:

I was actually disturbed that again the Doctor didn't give the bad guy a chance.  Nor did the TARDIS, oh yes, cool special effects.  And no, House and the TARDIS can't co-exist, but why not make it about them not being able to co-exist?  Why make it about 'killing House'?  I don't know, but this "Doctor is a bad-ass killing right and left" is getting to me.

As is all the Rory dying bits.  Why is the Doctor so into killing people and SM so into killing Rory?

why not push House into the dying body of Idris?

Two reasons I can think of: (1) We'd had two episodes to get to know Cassandra; House is a horrific monster who's spent the entire episode torturing the main characters. I'd have zero interest in watching his death scene when I could be watching a goodbye scene between the Doctor and the TARDIS. (2) According to Gaiman in the Guardian yesterday, he wanted it to be ambiguous whether House did die (apparently in an early script it was obvious that he didn't).

1) Can't we have both? My own evil side wanted to see him 'suffer' in his death :P

2) That's all well and good. It didn't seem that ambiguous when we could hear House screaming - and 'fade'... Yes, that may have been author intent at one point. But, unless you're willing to say the TARDIS and him CAN co-exist, or that he killed the TARDIS. I don't like either of those two options, so I go with the fact that he was killed, unless he shows up again.
