#The empty child

[lesbicosmos]

"are you my mummy?" 🤝 "hey, who turned out the lights?" 🤝 "my arms are too long."

the holy trinity of doctor who quotes that sound fairly normal out of context but are actually mildly terrifying

DOCTOR WHO | The Empty Child

[paternostergays]

starting to sense a pattern here

[felicitywilds]

the empty child is an excellent episode for demonstrating how to establish character. for example, the first thing captain jack harkness does when he's introduced is stare at a girls ass. the second thing he does is slap a boys ass

hello??

was just scrolling through the doctor dances so i could screengrab the resonate concrete bit (i needed it for a thasmin meta) but came across this instead. how have i never noticed this line. thought i’d caught every innuendo first time around but turns out there are even more than i remember. moffat you f—

[doctorwhoisadhd]

so the doctor basically sends jack off with the bomb... and totally knows he's going to die with that bomb. and just... right there does the everybody lives thing. after sending jack to his DEATH. and then rose has to remind him about jack. jack never heard the everybody lives thing. but rose did. oh my god the PARALLELS with 9s regeneration/10 abandoning jack

i have a history exam tomorrow on the world war two but i dont need to study bc i know everything about the london blitz (a nazi bomb fell in a church and kickstarted a romantic night for an angel and a demon) (a little kid was looking for his mummy while a blonde girl and an immortal dude met a 51st century guy for the first time) (an exterminator alien race took over and tried to control london while becoming ‘pure’ again)

[audhd-nightwing]

actually yall dont understand how important jack harkness is to me (and im sure plenty of other queer whovians)

in his first appearance he immediately checks out a girl and flirts with a guy in the span of like a minute. king shit. he is confidently queer and this aired in FUCKING 2005! that is so ahead of its time for queer representation! especially in such a large popular franchise! and there's no "bury your gays" because he's literally immortal!

rose telling the doctor “i think jack might like this dance” is my roman empire

Creepy doctor who episodes 🤝 a line of dialogue that makes you go ‘oh shit something’s wrong’

NEW WHO Rewatch: 1x09 THE EMPTY CHILD

As soon as the sirens go, you find a big fat family meal, still warm on the table with everyone down in the air raid shelter and bingo! Feeding frenzy for the homeless kids of London Town. Puddings for all, as long as the bombs don't get you.

[dailyclassicwho]

By the following morning every doctor and nurse who had treated him, who had touched him... had those exact same injuries. By the morning after that, every patient on the same ward, the exact same injuries. Within a week, the entire hospital. Physical injuries as plague. Can you explain that?

DOCTOR WHO EPISODES THE EMPTY CHILD (1.09)

[6-and-7]

Time Ramvent Day 2: Jolly Good Bottom William Hartnell's take on the 'Empty Child/The Doctor Dances'. Or, more accurately, ‘The Empty Child / Air Raid / Hospital of Fear / Volcano Day/ Unexploded Bomb / The Doctor Dances’. Thrill at the introduction of the handsome Captain Steven Taylor! Chill at some genuine brat of acting in a gas mask filled with the eyes covered up! Weep at the reunion between Nancy and her... son? Would they do that in the '60s? Oh dear...
