Doctor Who text posts: Thirteen edition – pt. 2

[i-see-wonders]

"i'd hoped there'd be stars" is so gutwrenching to hear because the doctor knows the stars as a site of transformation. you could say the thesis of the show itself is that beholding the stars, going to the stars changes you. but the twelfth doctor believes this with his entire being. he thinks a dalek could change if it saw the birth of stars. he thinks missy can change if they travelled the stars together. even after being trapped in the confession dial for 4.5 billion years, looking at the stars to learn that he's been there for a very long time burning himself up, over and over and over, he'd hoped there'd be stars at the end. just like at the beginning when he stole a tardis and ran away. and transformed.

Thirteenth never said I love you to Yaz but she said:

"We can't have a universe without Yaz."

"If it was gonna be anyone, it'd be you."

"I wish this could last forever."

Which is so much deeper than a simple I love you.

if you leave me when i try to be evil and leave me when i try to be good maybe you won't leave me if i try to be a secret third thing (ex mi6 data analyst amassing a thorough record of alien activity, with an excessive security system, a crush on you, and very poorly buried anger issues)

Classic Who is amazing. You watch for twenty-three minutes as Doctor and companion wander around a quarry in Wales before someone walks up and points a gun at them. Blast theme tune. Next episode, turns out the person was holding it out to them because they thought it was the Doctor and companion's gun and that they'd lost it. No, it's someone else's gun. Whose gun? The FUCKING MASTER'S. AGAIN.

DOCTOR WHO — “Thin Ice” (Deleted Scene)

[i-see-wonders]

All right, I’m super freaking out now (like the rest of us)

I love season 10 of new who because it’s so… quiet. The setting of the season is the university, which makes everything feel grounded; the Doctor even has a “home” outside of the Tardis (his office). Outside of the Vault, which is a mystery that’s solved midway through the season, there’s no big problem or enemy that hangs over the heads of the characters. Missy would maybe function as that, but instead she becomes a part of the core cast, and her character is given time to be fleshed out. And this was the end of Moffat’s run; he’d established so much lore that he could have easily put in a big overarching narrative about the silence or the daleks or what have you, but he didn’t.

I really miss the grounded energy that this series had, especially compared to the most recent series of RTD2, where seemingly every problem is universe-threatening and there are 50 billion characters that are packed into eight episodes. I think that if the series were to have another season like 10, it would improve the show greatly.
