Can't believe Turlough got friend zoned on a trading card in 1994...

Just Friends!

Aside from this publicity photo, there has never been the slightest hint of romance between members of the TARDIS' crew. Nyssa and Turlough, shown here, get on only slightly better than Tegan and Turlough. lan and Barbara are just good friends, as are all companions after them. The closest the Doctor ever gets to an on-screen romance is an accidental engagement to the Aztec lady Cameca. Even when he has a companion of his own species (Romana), there is nothing more between them than a growing friendship after a rather shaky start. In fact the only evidence that the Doctor ever has a family was the fact that he has a granddaughter—and in later years an attempt is made to imply that Susan wasn't really related after all! Nevertheless, Carole Ann Ford, who played Susan, assures us that she was indeed the Doctor's granddaughter—however he comes to have one.

#I sort of miss this?? #like yeah everyone is just pals #they love each other but it’s not like that #‘Ian and Barbara were just friends’ actually hurts me though #like what do you mean the school teachers didn’t fall in love and return home to get married #that’s like the whole fun of their characters

How has Benedict Cumberbatch gone this long without being in doctor who

#of course he did #wait I just realized this is forty-five #I loved 45 it had a really cool interconnected story system and worked with the nobody no one character really well #who even was he???

i love classic who's weird misogyny. the characters split up, with the men going and exploring while the women stay put. ten minutes later the women have joined a revolution and are chucking bombs around while the men got kidnapped

#literally #I feel like there is actually far less misogyny than other sci-fi of the time #like I don’t think they ever really have a women on just because she is sexy #unlike moffat who only has women on because they are sexy #anyways you know what I mean #I also really like how even though the female companion tends to be less smart than the doctor she is typically as smart as any other man #like they tend to have careers or be good at fighting #they are seen as a valuable person to have around its cool #women are treated like humans which is all I really ask for in media #I bet some seasons have such low bekdel test scores though omgh #like I can’t even remember the last time Jo Grant spoke to a women #not to use that as a metric but I still feel like there were much fewer women to men at times

do you ever think about how one of doctor who's most famous time loop episodes (heaven sent) isn't a time loop. like the fact that time is passing normally is a huge plot point

#yeah #so true #it’s also like not free of consequences or loss of progress #like when he comes back he has everything that his past self had and has to figure it out all over again #something something grief is a prison and the key to unlock it is time and real consistent effort

in the second to last serial of classic doctor who, the curse of fenric, there are strange pseudo vampires. at one point the doctor explains that - despite the folklore - it’s not the physical crucifix that repels the vampires, it’s the faith of the person holding it, their absolute belief in something more than themselves. the priest present fails to repel the vampires with a crucifix, because his faith had been broken by the events of WWII. the doctor repels the vampires with his faith in those he has had as companions, muttering their names over and over.

i mention all this because - and i am not making this up - it is immediately followed by a soviet man repelling the vampires with the power of belief in communist revolution. they aired this in the 80s.

as the show was then cancelled one story later, it remains the only show to ever be cut down in its prime twenty six seasons in.

#classic Doctor who was just on another level

Things that work in fiction but not real life

torture getting reliable information out of people

knocking someone out to harmlessly incapacitate them for like an hour

jumping into water from staggering heights and surviving the fall completely intact

calling the police to deescalate a situation

rafting your way off a desert island

correctly profiling total strangers based on vibes

effectively operating every computer by typing and nothing else

ripping an IV out of your arm without consequences

heterosexual cowboy

#all of these are unrealistic EXCEPT for the computer thing #like it’s called vim and if you have to use a command line long enough you only need a keyboard #if you work with networks a lot you are probably spending all your time on a shell anyways #like say what you will about bad hacker movies but if the person isn’t using a mouse they probably know what they are doing #sincerely a little wanna be hacked turned software engineer
