her jumping between being so clearly viscerally fucked up by seeing a woman killed in front of her to trying to figure out what this means for keeping their operation on track. lucy i love you. pragmatism girl. (<- she is traumatized)

[lucky-clover-gazette]

lucy is such a good character. did you guys know this.

[lucky-clover-gazette]

sort of obsessed with how lucy never once calls him the master. how she keeps calling him harry even when she intends to kill him, even when she’s just said that’s not his real name.

JUST noticed that Lucy sadistically bites the head off her jelly baby while glaring at the president. Perfect woman

The one who turned a gun against the Master and the one (doctor) who didn't ;)

lucy saxon is like #1 criminally ignored fictional character to me. she’s literally like a dark reflection of the typical companion. how have we not talked about that more

[lucky-clover-gazette]

i love everything about the introductory lucy saxon interview scene in the sound of drums... the interviewer lady being like "okay lucy good girl come talk to me... your husband is evil and has brainwashed the world and i think he killed his entire cabinet... he's evil but you've got good breeding (although you're not especially bright) but you're a sweet innocent person and you deserve to know" and lucy's just like "i made my choice. for better or for worse. sorry girl" and watches in mild discomfort as saxon has the interviewer killed. like okay if knowing the truth hadn't already doomed the interviewer, calling lucy stupid definitely did. and then she lectures saxon for not perfectly pulling off the brainwashing plan and he has to comfort her by telling her that he's definitely ending the world tomorrow don't worry about it. and we find out she's like this because he took her to the end of time and she saw everything die and it sent her into a nihilistic dissociative state. and when the world ends she giggles and dances to music. and she fucking murders her husband after she spends a year being abused by him after they ended the world together. and then when a cult tries to bring him back to life she kills herself just to prevent it from working completely ("until death do us part harry!!"). lucy saxon is such a fascinating character in a million ways and it's a crime that people do not talk about her more

the most important moment in any doctor who rewatch is adding back this cut scene. anyway the comments are awesome

absolutely amazing things happening right now. I had to triple check that these were real

[lucky-clover-gazette]

absolute iconic doctor who scene. nobody is doing it like him

[lucky-clover-gazette]

it is honestly amazing how much of writing and editing is just. logistics. like... do i use a name here or a pronoun? if i move this dialogue tag to the middle of this line and break it in half, does the end of the line hit harder that way? what if i move the tag to the front? what if i remove it entirely? ...wait, whose point of view am i in; can i reasonably say this character is appalled, or must i say they look or seem or sound appalled? is this a deliberate action or a step-removed one; is her hand closing on his shoulder, or is she closing her hand on his shoulder? environment environment environment, we need to break all this dialogue up with some narration, the scene is coming untethered. what! are! they doing! with! the rest of their bodies that are not hands! fuck fuck fuck FUCK i forgot we covered this two chapters ago and now i either need to cut this whole chunk or find a reason to reprise the conversation from earlier. name or pronoun? name or pronoun? name or pronoun? move this clause around in this sentence? oh i'll add this phrase-- nope, never mind, past!me added the same phrase two lines down. okay, if i add too much environmental narration it's going to take away from this bit, but not enough and it won't feel grounded. what if i move this to its own line? where the FUCK are their hands?
