The Impossible Planet/Satan Pit Script
Ok, so with this being not just my favorite episode of Who, but I will put it up against ALL of television (even the body swap episode of Farscape). Sorry this is long, but y'all have no idea how much I fucking love this 2 parter. I just really wish I could go back in time and re-watch this again for the first time. This was also right when I got into Firefly, and I was just so amazed at how similar these two episodes were to that series--and the music was just fantastic for this, so similar to Firefly too!
Little bits of this--Jesus, I loved that scene with the way the Doctor looks at Rose.
Ok, so this is the 2nd script I've ever read in my life, and I'm comparing it to GitF (see previous post on that train wreck) and I just have to say it shows how much different the writing style is--and David and Billie really do love their characters--so much of the nuances they bring to the Doctor and Rose aren't really in the script--like the writer just trusted the actors to do their jobs or something.
This is why Rose will always be better than me. Sure, I'd probably try to comfort Toby, but I'd stay the fuck away from that boy. Yeah, no--sorry about the possession, but no huggies for you.
HERE WE GO:
If I am not mistaken, and I only got into Doctor Who way back when it was on Netflix, and it was just the first two seasons (I had to scramble around on YouTube and get S3 and S4 and this was back when the episodes were just in like little 15m bits, fuck I'm old.)
Telling you that to say that I literally must have punched the air and screamed in delight when this scene happened.
HERO SHOT! Fucking adore this!
Wow, so there's really no other direction on what the actors needed to do in this scene--so all that amazing looks that the Doctor and Rose were giving each other--that's all David and Billie.
Ok, sorry this got long--but as I have very little understanding of scripts and acting and filming in general, this was so much fun to read.
I might look at Fear Her next because I am definitely curious to see how much of the script said things vs what the actors did.

Tagged by @khaleesa
One: relationship status: married almost 5 years
Two: favorite color: dark blue, dark green, I don’t have a favorite so much anymore
Three: lipstick or chapstick: lipstick (I don’t wear it much anymore, but god I love good lipstick. I have this flat matte hot pink that makes me feel swoon worthy even on days when I really feel anything but)
Four: last song I listened to: A LIttle Respect by Erasure (we were having Sunday dance party with the bab)
Five: last movie I watched: Doctor Strange (we went to see it in the theater two months after the baby was born and neither of us remember any salient details so we watched it again. I still think it’s pointless, but it was fun.)
Six: top three shows: Ever? Farscape, The West Wing, Doctor Who. (But also, let’s be real, I have watched A LOT of CSI. I love procedurals. It seems criminal not to list The X-Files in here, because really, the whole course of my post-college adult life is kind of predicated on a fandom rising up around that show).
Seven: top three characters: Three? Ugh. Bruce Banner, Aeryn Sun, CJ Cregg. And Natasha Romanoff. John Crichton. Dana Scully. Toby Ziegler. Leia Organa. MCU Tony Stark. Amy Pond. The Doctor. And those are just movies/television. Books are a whole other ballgame.
Eight: top three ships: Bruce Banner x Natasha Romanoff, John Crichton X Aeryn Sun, Dana Scully x BEING RIGHT BECAUSE MULDER IS A DICK
Tagging-- anyone who hasn’t done this yet. Please (for real). I love learning more about you all.
