"I think the best part is five minutes later in the episode. They return him to his time and then Pond excitedly goes back to the museum to see what sort of impact they had on his life. And finds that he still died a sad and lonely broken man. The Doctor consoles her and says that even though what they did for Van Gogh was a huge deal, it's not something that would help a lifetime of mental illness and social isolation." ~ Yserbius,
