finally learning the true tumblr experience: accidentally reblogging the wrong post, accidentally not setting it into the queue..

i have a maybe lukewarm maybe hot take about this godforsaken show that some people could find mean, but i stand behind it, no elaboration (okay, some elaboration in the tags below… a lot of elaboration)

opinion: if you claim to like clara’s dynamic with the doctor and her character development in series 8 and 9, but simultaneously say you hate the impossible girl arc/elevenclara, you don’t actually understand anything about their relationship and what makes it the way that it is

Biggest hindrance of Doctor Who being a family show is that it ends up preventing authenticity. By which I specifically mean there's no damn way that Donna's response to some of the things The Doctor says wouldn't have been "Fuck off."

oh my god

I love when the show treats real world issues while still maintaining the characteristic tone it has for everything else. For example, with racism. In this episode it's capitalism. Having to pay for oxygen is perfectly dystopic, and ordering the suits to kill employees when they're not good enough anymore is an amazing way to round it off

All of it really tested Bill's trust on the Doctor. He always tells jokes to alleviate the bad things that are coming, and in that moment when he didn't, she had to assume it wouldn't go well. But he always has a plan. And sometimes, a lot of the times, not saying it out loud is a vital part of the plan. Just another reason for her to trust him, believe it'll be alright, hope.

Nardole's apparent presumption towards the doctor makes him really fun. He doesn't fully want to be here, he's only putting up with it all because he has to make sure the doctor does what he has to do, protect the vault (why or what, I've got no idea, but I'm hoping we'll get there). He's both silly and cheeky and I just can't help loving him jdnfjd

Seeing the Doctor blind made me worried, like genuinely scared. I trust him to a certain degree but that felt like a low punch. Especially knowing that he'll reject help, any help to his person, if he can.

So I'm not sure what to expect anymore hhh excited

More DW stuff
