There's something to be said about Heaven Sent/Hell Bent, despite the Doctor overthrowing the Time Lord Council and spending four and a half billion years in the confession dial and him and Clara and Me meeting at the end of universe, therefore technically spanning the longest time span, being fundamentally the smallest in stakes of any of the modern Doctor Who finales. At the end of the day, there is no threat to earth or the galaxy or the universe or reality. It's just about two people and the way that they turn each other inside out and the way that they reflect each other as two sides of the same coin and the way their relationship was always going to end this way- with the flip of the coin, spinning in the air, each trying to override the other, each trying to take control of the story, each haunting each other forever.

It's under my microscope. It's rotating rent free in my head. It's everything good about Moffat's writing- fairytale vibes, wrenching character work, two characters that thematically parallel each other- and none of the bad, because he's not trying to be too clever or fuck with the rules too much, there's a couple of simple concepts played straight to their inevitable conclusions: Clara Oswald needs to die but the Doctor can't let it happen, he wants her to forget but she can't let it happen, so they both will do the most devasting things in the world to stop the other and they both get their way in the end but only in a way that will leave them haunting each other forever.

And it's so fucking good.

Redraw of the cape post, because that entire concept deserved better than the illustration I gave it.

GIDEON SHEPHERD THE DEVIL'S HOUR | SEASON 1

[go-to-the-mirror]

"The Day of the Doctor" was fun characterisation-wise, it had great moments, it was generally quite a fun thing to watch and it made me feel emotions. Especially when Nine appeared, I'm normal about Nine.

"The Day of the Doctor" was also really shitty. What's the point of a dead planet if you bring it back? What's the point of Nine saying he saw the Daleks burn if he didn't? What's the point of the Daleks going to destroy the universe, and the Time Lords going to destroy the universe, if you don't acknowledge the threat the Time Lords posed to the universe? What the fuck do you mean they would kill each other with their own crossfire?

I know the decision to have Julian's parents have him augmented was made on the fly but imo its pretty obvious from early on that Julian has Family Issues because he avoids talking about his family like the plague and I think they should've incorporated this into the Julian and Sisko dynamic right from early on because I think it would've made for some really compelling stories and moments and could've set up a REALLY interesting Julian and Jake dynamic which they kinda started to do but never fully went for

Day in Fandom History: May 14…

The Doctor receives a distress message from an old Time Lord friend of his and The Doctor, Amy, and Rory all head down to another universe and meet an alien that pretty much eats nothing but TARDISes. “The Doctor’s Wife” premiered on this day, 12 Years Ago.

Behind the Scenes of Wild Blue Yonder - Part Two

Excerpt from Emily Cook's Behind the Scenes of Wild Blue Yonder article in DWM #598

Today, David and Catherine are spending most of their time running up and down these corridors. It feels so very traditionally Doctor Who. There’s even a sign up in the studio, above a selection of storyboards, proclaiming it’s “Running Day”. Tom [Kingsley, director] is looking at the storyboards, framing the next shot. “My worry is he’s going to catch up with her quite quickly, so we need to start her further back.” “We’re going to do one more practice with the doubles,” announces 1st assistant director Gareth Tandy. There are two sets of Doctor and Donna doubles wandering around in costume today: stunt doubles Renato Gjini and Kim McGarrity and body doubles George Cheetham and Helen Langford. Plus the real David and Catherine, of course. Catch a Doctor or Donna out of the corner of your eye, and it’s hard to tell who’s who. “I think it’s weirder for other people than it is for us,” says Catherine. “Yes, because we know we’re not them,” says David, “whereas other people get confused. There is a requirement for doubles in this episode because we often have to be in the same shot twice.”
