[sacha-da-1]

This audio is calming me down but I’m probably only comprehending at like 50% rn

[rjalker]

Eight: What did they teach you at school? Did you never study Hamlet?

Charley: What, small villages?

Eight: Plays! Shakespeare! You know, Shakespeare? Elizabethan playwright, quite popular in his day?

Charley: Oh, Doctor, you can’t expect me to know all about the obscure people–

Eight: Obscure!

Charley: –you come across in your travels–

Eight: Excuse me!

Charley: –I mean, if you’d quoted from Johnson or Marlow–

Eight: What?!

Charley: –Or a decent playwright of the time that people have actually heard of –

The Time of the Daleks

When Shakespeare and his works seem to be disappearing from time, the Doctor investigates. Curiously, the Daleks seem all too eager to help...The Time of the Daleks is this week's #TBT! #DoctorWho #TheTimeOfTheDaleks #McGann #BigFinish #Charley #Review #Daleks #EighthDoctor

We are the Masters of Time!The Daleks Synopsis The Doctor has always admired the work of William Shakespeare. So he is a little surprised that Charley doesn’t hold the galaxy’s greatest playwright in the same esteem. In fact, she’s never heard of him. Which the Doctor thinks is quite improbable. General Mariah Learman, ruling Britain after the Eurowars, is one of Shakespeare’s greatest…

The Time of the Daleks

One of the slightly more interesting stories in the Dalek Empire subseries. Them quoting Shakespeare was slightly delightful, even if that subplot was mostly useless. The Margaret Thatcher-type character was slightly too evil to believe. Charley comes up a few good ideas here mostly accidentally. The Doctor shows some brilliance dealing with mirrors for time travel ala The Girl in the Fireplace.

Do you think, in Journey’s End, when Martha threatens to blow up the Earth to stop the Daleks, the Tenth Doctor has a flashback to him destroying Gallifrey?

And how Davros says The Doctor turns ordinary people into soldiers, he realizes it’s true. Because The Doctor was an ordinary person turned into a soldier and he did destroy is own planet to stop the Daleks. And Martha was going to follow in his path. A path he created first.

Do you think he saw himself in Martha? And all the things he’s ever done? All the deaths he caused? How, the only other planet he’s ever called home, was going to be destroyed by him, again?

How it was going to happen all over again, all because of him?

Cause I do.

DOCTOR WHO (1963) — 10.20 "Planet of the Daleks: Part Six"

Me, to my new date: doctor who thinks it's a sci-fi story because the Doctor thinks it's a sci-fi story and because the companions think it's a sci-fi story, but it's really just a story about ghosts. a story about an ancient creature carrying the ghosts of everyone they have ever loved, meeting new people, and seeing them only as future ghosts. they are haunted by the future and the past and the present because they are the only constant in a world constantly in flux, and they are running as fast as they can to things before they burn and fade to dust but everything will always end, you understand, because this is the only thing the Doctor understands and yet they keep going. they love too much to stop. doctor who is not science-fiction, it's horror and optimism and spiritual more than anything else, it's religious unto itself, the TARDIS is a haunted house and a church and a graveyard and a hospital and the Doctor is the most haunted being in the universe but more than anything, this is a love story, because how can you love something without being haunted by it- hey, what are you doing?

My date, shoving breadsticks in their purse: I have to go-

The doctor heard that "You would make a good dalek" once and NEVER forgot it

[sacha-da-1]

Mirrors as part of a time machine/time experiment?? Sounds a LOT like Evil of the Daleks.

sleeper is so fucking heartbreaking. not even the sex jokes balance it out. the ‘murderous alien desperately wants to be human/believes they’re a human until they discover that they’re not and haven’t been for a long time’ trope has been done like 7 times in doctor who but it gets me EVERY TIME!!!

the scientist from victory of the daleks. dalek oswin. cyber-bill. auton rory. sleeper beth… and, in a way, john smith, ruth, and professor yana. they just want to be human. they just want to be able to love. they just want to help… tragedy in its purest form. the universe had other plans
