I think about the massacre episode of doctor who a lot. Not only is it the rare companion driven story, but I truthfully love the character drama. Doctor who was originally billed as an educational program for children. The time travel so children could learn about historical events and the future stuff so they could learn about science. And what the massacre does is makes Steven an audience surrogate because he doesn’t know about this tragedy at all.

Doctor Who is a British tv show and this event was a French tragedy, so they might not even be aware this happened. Granted I’m coming at this from an American perspective and like it might’ve been mentioned in a AP European history course I took in high school but not in depth. Just another tragedy of the Protestant reformation.

But here in Doctor who, you learn what happened through Steven’s interactions with those who were there. And as it all plays out you’re forced to contend with the fact that this happened. This was real. They were real people, not just a page in the history. Steven’s reaction of shock and anger to the Doctor asserting that he was right to do as he did and that he wasn’t guilty of Ann’s possible death is how we’d all react. How could he turn that girl away! He saved Katarina from the fall of Troy after all!

But then you’d remember how that played out. What happened to Katarina. And suddenly the Doctor’s motives for leaving Ann behind become more muddled. Was it actually to preserve history? Or was it because he thought Ann had a better chance of surviving the St Bartholomew day’s massacre than she did in the TARDIS?

But Steven doesn’t think of this, and most of the audience probably doesn’t either. So he storms off. Not even caring where the TARDIS lands next. Granted Steven comes back like 5 minutes later and we don’t know why, and the Doctor is absolved of Ann’s murder via Dodo’s existence, but still.

I know I went off topic there at the end but the point is doctor who expertly educated it’s audience on a historical event. And it gets the audience invested in what happened by leveraging their lack of knowledge. So that like Steven, you never want anyone to needlessly die like that again.

It’s probably my favorite who story after remembrance of the daleks and I wish people would give it a chance, despite it being lost. The audio drama version on audible is very well done.

Edit: last thing. A subtle detail I really like is when the Doctor realized what’s about to happen, he called Ann by her name before he told her to leave asap. The first Doctor always called the young women he met my child, so the gravity of what was going to happen hit him hard and they were hiding in a somewhat famous Huguenot’s house. The Doctor was genuinely trying to save her within the rules he thought he had to go by.

Happy St Patrick's Day everyone! Bart is definitely pinching anyone who's not wearing green. Mudd and Kyborg aren't bothered at all (they're always green) but gum gum has been running from pinches all day

"It doesn't make sense you're born important... And there's no reason for someone to be born a slave!"

I'm actually crying so hard.

One Piece is such an important story and the fact the fandom is filled with raging bigots and racists, enrages me to no end

Are you still at Bart’s? Your brother just dropped off three tickets to Greece. Did you know about this?

Are we going?

Yes I am still here, using the microscope.

Wait what? Why should he do that? Is this some sort of trick?

Creepy picture shows 'ghost caught on camera in dark cemetery during Halloween'

The 'anomaly' was spotted by spook seekers in the graveyard of a church that's 175 years old and it's not the first otherworldly sighting

The ghost geeks were in the grounds of a 175-year-old church when they heard a whining sound.

After pictures were developed, they saw an 'anomaly' which they believe is truly a visitor from the afterlife.

Four members of Sydney South West Paranormal Investigators team were at the ghost-spotting expedition at St Bartholomew’s Cemetery in west Sydney, Australia when the incident occured.

The church, which was built in 1841 and destroyed by fire in 1989, has long since been believed to be haunted.

The team told The Daily Telegraph that they were near a grave when they heard the sound.
