(i do try not to think about that episode so much because it does annoy me greatly that it’s this build up of. everyone around the doctor loves him so much they’d risk destroying time itself to save his life. river resists shooting him, amy puts together pieces of him in her head enough to want to help him across reality breaking, and at the end, the whole of time and space hears someone say “the doctor needs help!” and they come to answer. because that’s the good he puts out into the universe. people will come. if he just asks, they’ll come.

and then the episode turns around and goes, ‘yeah, anyway, river’s an idiot for doing all this dramatic shit to save him lol. the doctor had a plan all along to save himself. he doesn’t need anyone’s help.’ like THEN WHAT WAS THE POINT. OF EVERYONE WHO CAME. TO HELP HIM. WHY DID WE BOTHER WITH ANY OF THIS.)

#ITS SOOOO UNSATISFYING GOD. AND IT DOES MANAGE TO BE SO GOOD UP UNTIL THAT MOMENT.#the doctor is so loved by all the universe….. but lmao who cares he’s never needed anyone but himself am i right #LIKE NO. SHUT UP. LET HIM BE SAVED BY THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP AND THE GOOD WILL HE’S GENERATED BY HELPING PEOPLE THROUGHOUT SPACE!!!!!!#could have been such a crowning moment for a doctor who is just. so set on not being helped. on doing things himself even if it hurts and it #does it always does. from the moment amy tries to intervene in the beast below and he yells at her for it and hes *wrong* to because without #listening to her he’d have made himself a monster.#to the battle of demon’s run where he gets so caught up in himself and making a show of humiliating and defeating these people that his team #that came here to help him start to die and he doesn’t even notice that the child he came here to save is already gone.#IS THIS NOT ABOUT THE DOCTOR PUTTING HIS SHIT DOWN AND LETTING OTHER PEOPLE HELP HIM.#AND IF NOT. IF NOT. THEN WHY. ARE WE BOTHERING.#okay. okay. im okay again. im normal. back to business per usual.#justice for river song fr #doctor who
