the stranger (novel: 1997)

[sandymybeloved]

I should clarify, it went right past the bus stop where I was waiting to get on,which is worse than if I drove past where I needed to get off,at least that would have been my fault for not hitting the stop here button

why must doing a new route on public transport be so stressful!! Is the bus delayed, cancelled, did I miss it? gow reliable is this service, I know I'm supposed to have a 20 minute wait, but do I have time to nip into the shop for 5 minutes? am I at the right stop, I know it lists the right bus, but that could mean anything? is this my bus, no, wrong destination, and oh god it's gone, what if that was my bus and I made a mistake? okay finally on what I hope is the right bus, but I don't actually know the route at all, where are we, when do I get off, is this my stop, is this my stop, is this my stop, did I miss my stop? aaaaagghhhhh

IT JUST DROVE OFF WITHOUT STOPPING

I'm going to be sick

the face of a man who's just forced rory to kill his wife

Watching the final scene of The Girl Who Waited and I just, I, okay

the handbots and the Doctor. At the end of the episode its the handbots who kill older Amy, except its not, its 11, when he locks her out of the TARDIS dooming her to never having existed at all, but in this moment she does exist, its the handbots and its the Doctor. "Do not be alarmed, this is a kindness", its the handbots saying it but isn't it also what the Doctor is convincing himself of in that moment, that its kind against the express wishes of everyone else involved to save younger amy so she never becomes the older version of herself, kind to older Amy to stop her from experiencing everything that she went through, but fundamentally he's killing her, fundamentally the handbots are killing her no matter how much they say that they are being kind

Ranking my favourite numbers:

1. 56 (5,6,7,8: 7 8s are 56 is so much fun to say)

2. 7 (I just like it)

3. 6 (triangular (1+2+3) and a factorial (1x2x3) and perfect (factors sum to it) 1+2+3=1x2x3=6,doesnt that just make you happy)

I think about this parallel all the time, and it kills me.

Suspension of disbelief re: filming locations is funny cause somehow I have an easier time believing the desert in southern california like 40 minutes out from the paramount lot is In Space than I do with believing one place in north america is supposed to be another place in north america

genuinely, donna. like i know liz doesn't get a proper exit and just disappears between seasons, and that sucks, but donna.

her losing her memories in journey's end is so good, its upsetting for all the right reasons, and then the last time we see her in the end of time is bittersweet, she's happy but we still know what's missing, and then the 60th ruins that. losing your memories for a little over a decade and losing your memories forever are worlds apart, giving donna her memories back saps out all of the tragedy of the end of time, like no need to get this upset guys, it won't last. and urrggggh the way she gets her memories back is so stupid, like really, all they needed to do was say nu-uh. fucking hell. I know theres two episodes after that but I do think of all three episodes as a package deal, a single ending, an epilogue for series 4, so it counts

donna's ending is actively bad compared to liz's being passively bad, VOTE DONNA

Which character deserved a better-written ending?

TOURNAMENT MASTERPOST

it was such a rush job that nothings actually been planned and piper still isn't technically contracted to play the doctor and this gives rtd wiggle room

Everyone's sharing thories on why they think Billie Piper wasn't introduced "as the doctor", so here's mine:

Russell just did that on purpose to get everyone talking and speculating and doesn't plan to do anything interesting with it. He just hoped it would generate content
