DOCTOR WHO MEME → scenes [6/10]

VERY OLD AND VERY KIND - “The Star Whale didn’t come like a miracle all those years ago. It volunteered. You didn’t have to trap it or torture it. That was all just you. It came because it couldn’t stand to watch your children cry. What if you were really old, and really kind and alone? Your whole race dead. No future. What couldn’t you do then? If you were that old, and that kind, and the very last of your kind, you couldn’t just stand there and watch children cry.”

Top 50 OTPs of All Time ☆ #49. Amy Pond & Rory Williams

"All those boys chasing me, but it was only ever Rory. Why was that? You know when you meet someone so beautiful and then you actually talk to them and five minutes later, they're as dull as a brick? Then there's other people and you meet them and you think 'not bad, they're okay.' And then you get to know them and their face just sort of becomes them. Like their personality's written all over it, and they turn into something so beautiful. Rory's the most beautiful man I've ever met."

I know I should be writing part 2 of my meta but here's a little something instead.

Enjoy!

Is it just me or does Scrooge McDuck actually look like David Tennant.

#the resemblance is uncanny #david tennant #ducktales #scrooge mcduck #doctor who #tenth doctor #10th doctor #if I had a dime for every time DT was in one of my favorite shows/movies I'd have a lot of dimes #funny memes #doctor who memes #ducktales meme #it's the 3D glassed for me #did anyone else notice that scrooge is wearing two glasses #DUCKS #that's what water slides of #they probably have ears. that's how they hear other ducks #and don't feed them bread you idiots! #frozen peas

I think more people should go watch Torchwood so they can experience the horrors in a true unbridled way

#that show fucked me up so much i changed my legal name to Jack #and also had nightmares #it takes the wonder of aliens and stuff from doctor who and rips it away from you so quickly #i went into it being like 'oh yay more content of my favorite dude captain jack harkness' #and came out the other side looking like i tried chugging sparkling water #torchwood

[dang-dood]

i completely forgot that house md was canon in torchwood

#OWEN OF ALL PEOPLE BEING THE ONE TO MENTION IT 😭 #house md #torchwood #owen harper #jack harkness #ianto jones #toshiko sato #gwen cooper #gregory house #james wilson #also if i’m remembering correct there is a mention of doctor who in house #paradox #walk with me #house is canon in torchwood #which makes it canon in doctor who #AND house is canon in psych #so my big three tv shows at least have one connection to each other in some way #sorry i have issues #mine #rewatching torchwood #just finished season 1 #that fucking creature looked like it was ripped right out of ps2 I REMEMBER IT LOOKING SO REAL WHEN I FIRST WATCHED IT #tbh same with the mannequins in doctor who #can’t act like it wouldn’t be in character for owen to be the one to like house btw #it just caught me off guard to see my favorite toxic alien workplace mention my favorite toxic medical workplace #and star wars is canon LMAOO

Doctor Who is a story where humans make themselves gods, become myths staining the tapestries of the universe, and the last member of a race of gods is made human, cowardly and vulnerable and kind in a way no other god would dare make themselves and this is the very thing that allows the god-made-human to survive and even win at the end of the day (and the very thing that often dooms the humans-made-gods)

#listen this is a line that came to me on the airplane #and I'm gonna try to find a way to incorporate it into one of the fics in this series #the original version starts with “This is a story” instead of “Doctor who is a story” but it honestly fits the show as a whole #like bad wolf #the woman who walked the earth #the most important woman in all of creation #amy bringing back the doctor in the pandorica #even the impossible girl (though I'm still not a fan of how the show executed it) #the one thing I have to give the moffat era is how it leaned into one of my favorite vibes in that it felt like sci-fi told as fairytale #(that does come with its sexist drawbacks but when it hits it HITS) #rose tyler #martha jones #donna noble #amy pond #clara oswald #ninth doctor #tenth doctor #eleventh doctor #twelfth doctor #bro when the Doctor was bridal carried by Bill #or had his memories erased by clara #whenever you can overlay sisyphus or orpheus or prometheus over both companions and doctor...good shit #bill potts #thirteenth doctor #we get less of this with thirteen #tho in late flux/2022 specials yaz does get to come closer and closer to godly/Time Lord like when she learns how to pilot TARDIS/lead #i just wish the show DID SOMETHING with it #gave her an epic finale moment like other companions got #yazmin khan #like even some of the other companions

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.

Holy shit, could you imagine if David fucking Bowie was not only on Doctor Who but played one of the most over the top campy characters in the shows history in one of the greatest stories the show has ever made?

I would have killed to see this.

For reference if you haven't seen Caves of Androzani (which you should, even if you don't care about Doctor Who, it is must watch Sci-Fi), Sharez Jek is mad scientist who molded in the type of the Phantom of the Opera and is clad head to toe in leather that resembles fetish gear

I would have lost my mind over this.

#the caves of androzani #doctor who #david bowie #please understand Caves of Androzani is genuinely one of my all time favorites stories it is so fucking good and came totally out #of nowhere at the end of a pretty mediocre season of the show #and right before the show collapsed in on itself in the mid-80's #the serial directly after Caves the twin dilemma is imo the worst thing the show has ever put out #so it went from the best to nearly the worst ever

[mummer]

still sorting out how to feel about it but fuck ncuti was just insantly beyond all expectations. King

#i feel sad his first appearance was sort of playing second fiddle to tennant and he didnt get a proper regen or anything #but i am soooooo excited for him to get started in earnest #plot wise probably my favorite of the specials but that was pretty unhinged #my full conclusion is that rtd is the most self indulgent showrunner alive which works for him but is also very Apparent lmao #doc who #doctor who spoilers #like whys ncuti feeling like a companion/side character in his own show like???? #as someone who isnt a tengirl it’s like. Okay. #also as someone who enjoyed the donna tragedy SORRY #like these specials were really not For Me which is fine. but lets get going cmon 💪 #i’ll just never be a happy ending enjoyer i need it to be at least bittersweet which is why i like this show lol. too happy booooo #me and capaldi being like ITS SAD. ITS ABOUT DEATH. rtd putting his hands in his ears and playing with action figures #which he has the right to do i wish him nothing but happiness also 14 and 15 sjould have fucked

I think the bi-generation is genuinely such a good way of ushering in the NuNuWho era tbh. When RTD started the 2005 reboot, he gave The Doctor all this trauma and backstory with Gallifrey being destroyed. It was a very slow process to get him to open up about it to anyone, and even then, The Doctor hasn't stopped to process anything since. Bookending the era with the earliest post-time war Doctor (that would come back to the show. I miss you Eccleston) getting to slow down, spend the rest of his regeneration finally dealing with everything that's happened, and heal? Gorgeous. After 13 bottling up all her emotions, The Doctor needs this to be able to move on and grow, but therapy sessions and grocery shopping aren't exactly great sci-fi. This bit needs to happen off-screen because it can't be fixed with just a couple of conversations. And having 14 do it instead of 15 lets us jump straight into 15 with the personality we see in the special.

Now, Ncuti and RTD can start the next era with a new chapter of the story with a cleaner slate, letting The Doctor evolve in ways we haven't seen before. Fleshing out the timeless child / flux and exploring what repercussions the salt had are the new backstory, just like the time war started the last era. (Ik a lot of people hate tc but I think it's an unfinished story that I'm willing to see through to the end) I think it will be refreshing and exactly what we need to reinvigorate the character and the show as a whole.

#I think some people just like finding things to hate about Doctor Who and it makes me really sad #I'm so fucking optimistic about the future of the show in a way I wasn't before The Giggle #Though WBY is still probably my favorite of the specials #doctor who #david tennant #russell t davies #ncuti gatwa #doctor who 60th anniversary #dw spoilers

Did not expect the third most important piece of queer media published this year to be an anniversary special of an old british show released directly to Disney+ with a plot that's mostly just a twist on a classic Phineas and Ferb episode. Anyway,

#doctor who #doctor who spoilers #beep the meep #lgbtq #I started sobbing the literal second I saw Rose on screen #It's so easy to portray trans and nb characters as aliens/robots/etc in sci-fi and they let her be a literal trans person #They let her trans-ness be a superpower without letting it be caused by anthing other than just being trans #Dr Who was one of my favorite shows long before I started questioning my gender and I'm so happy to see what it's become.
