I'll see if I can find the essay, to. I'm intrigued. I like existentialist themes and I can see the thread, but I'd be interested in hearing a systematic analysis (or even an unsystematic commentary).
Certainly guilt and forgiveness are major themes - just look at the 'forgiveness' scene in "End of Days". And that wonderful powerful moment in "Father's Day" where the Doctor gets a sincere apology from Rose, and forgives her for destroying her own timeline. Or his forgiveness of Jack for almost destroying humanity, less expilicit but certainly implicit in both senses of the word, in "The Doctor Dances".
