Inspired writing choice to have Maestro trap the Doctor inside a beating drum of all things

[quailfence]

Okay, so I'll probably make a longer post about these eps on my dreamwidth later but first: in the devil's chord the doctor is like "oh I thought that was non-digetic" at one point and I am loosing my mind over that because it implies that the doctor can hear the background music and like. god the implications the implications like I can't really think of any specific examples/moment but god I need fic of this

fifteen talking with a heavier scottish accent and jamming to kylie minogue is something that will live in my head rent free for at least a week

[causalityparadoxes]

He's a bounty hunter. He's into DnD. He somehow doesn't know about cosplay or how to improv despite this. He CAN dance. He fell for the Doctor so hard the only coherent thought in his head under stress was proposing to them. Within the hour he'd kissed them, sacrificed himself, and said "find me" after making them catch a goddamn marriage bouquet. He's a nerd. He's socially awkward. He listens to Kylie Minogue. He's a sweetheart. He's a Killer. He's engaged to the Doctor. He is the moment. He is the Rogue.

moffat said i only get one chance i HAVE to fucking kill the companion and bring them back to life in 45 minutes if that’s all the time i have. companions have to be dead for a little while, it’s good for them, it’s like enrichment. adds flavour. and he was right

another great doctor who episode

they were made for each other, your honor

Everyone trying to make sense of 73 yards is kinda missing the point, IMO. It's a faerie story. It's dream logic. It's the Twilight Zone. It's running on pure vibes.

We're not in the realm of science fiction anymore. This is Occult.

There’s definitely a joke here.

Last week was hell for the Doctor so they said let's let him make out with Jonathan Groff this week. As a treat

can’t believe doctor who just gave us a gay enemies to lovers slow burn in one episode and managed to do it well. ily doctor who

[tinkerbitch69]

I think the thing I love the most about Boom is that it’s such a simple but effective premise. No aliens, limited special effects, one simple set that’s more or less just a pile of rocks but still choc full of tension. Steven Moffat came back with the promise of Disney money and used precisely none of it lmao.

Say what you will about him but Moffat knows what doctor who is really about! Fucking around and finding out in some old quarry.

Cannot emphasise how OBSESSED i am with the Doctor being able to hear the show's backing music. Does he have favourites? Does he ever miss the funky classic who tunes?

Its giving Day of the Doctor novelisation, where the Doctor's vision changed when the show's colour grading did.

I love whenever they make allusions to the 4th wall or skirt near it. 1st Doctor talking to the people at home. 4th Doctor's laugh at the camera. 12th Doctor's monologues and playing of the Theme tune. Its all so wonderful.

But to put it in the forefront. To literally have him say " I Thought that was non-diegetic " (music not actually present in the world and only for the audience) to have him WINK at us.

Obsessed is too weak a word for what I'm feeling right now. I love them

if i had one nickel for every time the word “lesbian” was spoken aloud on doctor who, i’d have two consecutive nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s incredible that it happened twice in a row and neither example was during that whole series with an openly lesbian companion
