chibnall has a habit of declaring the doctor as the moral authority in every situation, and no one can question her without being the villain
like in the spider episode, when the trump guy was gonna shoot the spiders, like sure it was cuz he was an asshole but getting shot is more humane than starving to death in an enclosed space surrounded by other dead bodies
and this keeps on going on, so her companions might get mad at her, maybe, but they won’t actively question her moral judgement
and they should because three genocides in one episode? being fine with freezing someone in a half concious state for eternity despite saying that it was a fate worse than death like 10 episodes before? i’m not even gonna touch on kerblam
it’s very frustrating after seasons upon seasons where the doctor is shown to be not a very good guy, and the show questions those decisions
then again the previous doctors’ companions were actually characters and not exposition with the occasional character trait

loollll I love that last anon with their sexy confession! I have one of my own: I haven't seen GITF either! 🙈🤫
Oh, so many people have this very same confession it would appear! Let me help you all out by presenting you with a quick summary:
T H E G I R L I N T H E F I R E P L A C E
PAIRING: Moffat x His Ego x His Dick
CHARACTERS:
The Tenth Doctor: Time Lord, in general maintains the laws of time and makes sure everything is right in the universe, kinda important, but chucks it all away for I think 5 years of shagging?
Reinette Poisson: real, incredible leading lady of 18th Century France, a pioneer of arts and culture, appointed the Advisor to the King (Louis XV), literally brought nations together, a philosopher, a patron of the great philosophers of the Enlightenment, presented here as a physically sexy Strong Female who spends her life and subsequently dies waiting for a man because isn’t that what all women do? #relatable
Rose Tyler: formally pivotal in caring for and loving the aforementioned Doctor, now The Nagging Wife. See also: ‘Camilla’, home-wrecker, ‘your mother’.
Mickey Smith: the tin dog, but not as useful
A horse?
SUMMARY: Monsters are in search of nicking Reinette Poisson’s brain (perhaps because it is a wonderful marvellous brain but we’re never told, I think in this story it is a Plot Device to make her needing to be saved by a man), but the Doctor comes to the rescue! He unexpectedly falls in love with her (understandable considering she is Hot and Flirty), and must save her before the Droids claim her as their own. Either way, she waits. Meanwhile, Rose and Mickey have an adventure of their own and get caught, nearly die but thankfully don’t because of wine, and then get left behind on a spaceship while the Doctor saves Reinette and Rose waits to be saved too. No more spoilers, you!
CHAPTERS: Far too many
TAGS: AU, romance (but the objective toxic kind), sex?, male gaze, anti-feminism, some pretty cool Clockwork Droids, really great costumes, sex, objectification, misogyny, sexy women, love requires the tolerance monsters
