Eleven and Amy - Forehead Kisses

[intuitive-revelations]

Fun fact (relating to the "first same sex kiss" Deadline discourse):

If you include kisses that aren't lip-to-lip, Eleven and Rory arguably kiss each other 3 times:

4 times if you throw in the IDW comics too:

(For context, Amy and Eleven body swapped earlier in the story and have switched back at this point, but Rory doesn't know if it was successful.)

so. realised that when i was watching s7 way back in december i completely skipped over dinosaurs on a spaceship because i thought the title sounded too kiddy, was tired of the ponds, and wanted to meet clara already (sacrilege, i know. whatever). so today i was like hold up wait a minute that’s the last remaining episode of nuwho i’ve never seen. can’t be too terrrible even if it’s written youknowwho

why was it… good?? lol. surprise is not the word

early 20th c. pulp novel vibes in the best way possible. they really just tossed all of the ‘look how cool this must be when you’re 7 years old’ buzzwords into a hat (ancient egypt! dinosaurs! spaceships! bounty hunters! actual hunters! indiana jones!) and somehow made it work…

and not even in a ‘mindless fun’ way as you’d expect from something with this subject matter. instead it becomes a successful, surprisingly mature piece of commentary on the interconnected nature of imperialism, capitalism, colonialism, cultural theft and appropriation, genocide and misogynistic objectification?? and that’s not even touching the parallels between the ‘rusty robots’ that ‘aren’t as nimble as they used to be’ getting mirrored with the ponds; the entire mini-arc of brian stepping out of his comfort zone; and 11’s dark vengeful streak that shows itself at the end. apologies mr. chibnall i was unfamiliar with your game

there’s even a sneaky hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy reference. what’s not to love. incredibly unexpected 4 stars on tardisguide from me. that’s my “jamie catches up” (hey, when that tag began, i was still jamie) all over with

daily* reminder that the doctor canonically kissed his father in law on the lips

Who let the dinos out?

[ihavedeclaredwaronthemoonxx]

if i had a nickel for every immortal character who is named after an occupation and educates their companion on history and the future while wearing red bow ties, round glasses, and fun hats while time traveling and meeting dinosaurs i’d have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

do you think that 11 looked down at brian williams, sipping on his tea and staring out at the earth, and briefly thought of wilfred?

doctor who liveblog pt 35

s7 ep1 asylum of the daleks and s7 ep2 dinosaurs on a spaceship

i did liveblog these but accidentally deleted it twice because both god and the tumblr app fucking hate me

my thoughts were i liked them both but my god stephen moffat has never written a queer woman normally

also i dont believe that queen nefertiti would end up staying with that sexist hunter who was played by greg lestrade from sherlock

liked the dinosaurs though and also rory's dad, i've missed companions' families getting mixed up with the doctor

s7 ep3 a town called mercy

- finally a wild west episode!!

- fuck yeah toothpick time

- the strong stuff,,, leave the bag in

- this guy needs to learn to start lying when people ask if he’s an alien

- oh another doctor

- i love that all aliens are inexplicably british

- i really enjoy the running bit of the doctor speaking to horses/babies and learning their real names

- the doctor has gotta stop getting distracted

- oh the gunslinger is also a kahler

- oh the other doctor is not a good man

- uh oh moral conflict time

- THE DOCTOR’S GOT A GUN

- gun fight with amy

- nooo the sheriff

- got invested and forgot to liveblog but that ruled
