The first few seasons were wild. Couldn’t fit all the good stuff in here, but here’s some of the highlights. ¡Please reblog and explain your pick in the tags!

LOL I'm obsessed with the Doctor's signet ring because, much like other random Doctor Who things, it's seemingly there to just easily solve a problem a la a Sonic Screwdriver before it existed.

Ben and Polly's role to the First Doctor kills me, because after thinking over how each other the first doctor companions plays a part in the Doctor's character development, this is fasinating to me because
Ben is a mini first doctor! and Polly is a mini Barbara/vicki/susan, ie a mini exelerated version of the rols his companions served along his era!!
in the beginning of his arc, Ben is grumpy, sad, depressed and wants to only be left alone for a while... untilk he meets Polly! who crashes into his life all wanting him to feel better, shaping his world anew!!
and the First Doctor sees this!! he looks at Ben finally wanting to rist his life for Polly after showing so little intrest and just... stares at him like !!! "oh, hello there young man" !!!
Ben and Polly go through an exelirated first doctor character arc with their relationship on screen, and i think the doctor sees this!! and the Doctor gets to be his own companion in the last few months of his life! acting as one of the people to make Ben realize he can be so much better!!
and it makes it even better because what is one of the last things Ben does for the first doctor? he gives him a coat to keep warm!! the same thing the Doctor did to Ian and Barbara at the end of Edge of distruction, ie when he first showed he actually cares about them!!!
the first doctor's arc was mirrored back to him it all got mirrored right back at him, his own journy told before his eyes, as he learned to let go and rest his eternal soul
