I really gotta wonder what Simon was thinking when he first thought of trying to summon globetty into ooo, like did he have some other kind of summoning thing planned where he separates Betty from glob? And what would he have done if he was successful? Cause if y’all remember, glob had originally tried to kill everyone in ooo, and nothing anyone tried ever hurt him. Except for the song of harmony. But I’m not sure something like that would actually kill it.
What I’m thinking is that Simon was only thinking of one thing at a time, cause if he actually succeeding in freeing Betty, I don’t think he’d know what to do after the fact. Did he know he was technically committing a war crime?

-- 40-year-old Derek is a HUSBAND, and he's the best husband the world has ever seen.
-- If someone is saying chivalry is dead, they haven't met our guy. If you're cold, he's got a jacket. If it's raining, he has an umbrella (and will absolutely get wet if it means keeping you 100% dry). Do you live somewhere that has a colder winter? He's warming your car up for you in the mornings before work, and if he needs to, you know he's going to be scraping that ice. Shoveling snow? He lives for it.
-- Best dad/uncle too. Either you have kids of your own, friends with kids, nieces or nephews from Jorge/Nico/Liz ... it doesn't matter, he's an absolute hit with kids. Can give piggyback rides for days, even if the kids are too old and cool for it. He knows the plot points of everyone's favorite movies and shows and books and can easily hold conversations about them, he knows hobbies and activities from memory.
-- A baby whisperer if there ever was one. Babies LOVE Derek. He can always get them down for naps, he can always figure out what's wrong, he's got a good trick for getting a stubborn burp out. Can swaddle like it's his job.
-- He learns how to cook too! When he was younger he could fix a chicken breast and some veggies or whatever, but as he gets older he finds joy in preparing good meals for his loved ones.
-- Is also very good at massages, and always willing to give one! Back, scalp, hands, feet, full body, he's got it all covered and his hands are magic.
-- The flip side of all of this is that by the time he's 40, he's had over 15 years of being in a relationship with you, so he's definitely good and settled, and that means he's totally fine with getting spoiled in return! He spoils you obviously, but is also content to let you do the same. And you better do the same.
-- He has the prettiest smile lines! Looking at him, it's obvious even to strangers that he's lived a life he's happy with.
-- He's a little thicker around the middle too. He's still fit and muscular, but it's a bit less defined now. It comes from spending a little less time at the gym and a little more time making those meals for his family. He's still an active guy, that's just how he is, but he's content with not having that crazy six pack anymore.
-- Will still absolutely turn all the heads though. Beefy arms, muscular thighs, and, you know, his face. He'll only notice someone flirting with him if they're seriously over the top with it, and if it happens he'll tell them the most sickeningly sweet thing about how he's with his soulmate and not the least bit interested in anyone else. He won't even do it to look good or to make you feel better, he'd just do it because it's the truth.

Behind the Scenes - The Stolen Earth/Journey’s End (Part 23)
Excerpts from the November 2008 Telegraph Magazine article:
There is something undeniably curious about listening to someone speak of their lifelong admiration for an alien. Along with Tennant’s desire to act, his love for the show is something else that never seems to have faltered. What is it about the Doctor, I wonder, that has instilled such commitment, for want of a better word.
“I saw it as futuristic and scientific and at the same time all a bit hand-knitted,” Tennant says. “Something about that appealed. It always felt he only needed a ball of string to save everything. And, of course, this great character, who just burns through the middle with enthusiasm and glee and you can absolutely trust him and yet you can never quite predict what he’s going to do.”
Catherine Tate thinks part of Tennant’s success with the role is due to his being "such a fan of the show - his knowledge is really surprising. Because he does remember all these things, and he would really revel when we’d get a script where, say, the Sontarans were back, or there was some alien who was last seen in 1972. I think there’s never a moment when he’s not relishing it, and even now nearly four years down the line he relishes it, and attacks it and never tires of it, and so that makes everybody raise their game.”

ok but "i need you" is actually so monumental. bc it's never been said before!! yes it was implied in basically all of their interaction just how much they needed each other, but aziraphale never said it out loud before. and this is the aziraphale who just four years ago, which is VERY little for immortals, said "i dont even like you". he has changed so much in those 4 years while he wasn't under heaven's thumb and i genuinely can't help but be proud of him for finally being brave enough to express just how much he needs crowley.
