So, last weekend was very very busy, only saw this episode on Monday and have been vaguely attempting to write something in the days that followed
( Read more... )
I can't write anything nearly as in-depth and coherent at this point, especially seeing as I'm still missing a few series in between (I've watched up to mid-S6) and therefore can't see all of the continuity. But I really loved this episode, and yes, I really adored that it made such a point of the Doctor not being responsible for everything. And I'm curious to see where the stuff with Missy is going! Really looking forward to the next episode. Don't think I can watch it in peace before tomorrow night, or maybe Monday, but I hope I'll enjoy it!
I can't write anything nearly as in-depth and coherent at this point, especially seeing as I'm still missing a few series in between (I've watched up to mid-S6) and therefore can't see all of the continuity. I think that's both a positive and a negative - you don't have all the background, but then otoh you can see it with fresh eyes, as it were.
But I really loved this episode, and yes, I really adored that it made such a point of the Doctor not being responsible for everything. He does love to take on ALLLLL the responsibilities.
And I'm curious to see where the stuff with Missy is going! It's fascinating, and something genuinely new.
It's like Twelve, having learned that he is actually capable of sitting in one place and being reliable(ish), has gone slightly overboard in exercising this newfound skill: I feel like a whole treasure trove has been opened for me! I'm going to guard LOTS of things! Hahaha I LOVE THIS. (Also, totally having Last Centurion associations-with Stonehenge!)
Besides, my global reaction to this post is more or less along the lines of "yes, absolutely, all of this!" ;)
Hahaha I LOVE THIS. (Also, totally having Last Centurion associations-with Stonehenge!) That part was Promethia's, and I loved it so much I cut & pasted it straight in. :) Plus, yes very much so. Although he of course guarded the crack for the best part of a millenium on Trenzalore, even if that's a while ago.

but I know tonight's episode will be quite something WASN'T IT JUST
There is also the fact of music and magic being linked, that music has power... Music hits parts of us that mere words can't. Singin' my song! ;D
EVERYTHING ISN'T THE DOCTOR'S RESPONSIBILITY. WHAT A FREAKING BEAUTIFUL EPISODE TO SAY THAT WITH. And this season has been beautifully consistent about this! From Bill making a deal with the devil to save him, to Bill saving the world via the power of love (so the Doctor didn't have to)… And it wasn't the Doctor who earned the Ice Queen's mercy either.
I love how the Doctor's like 'so, my plan is, I trap myself some place for eternity, in an endless cycle of pain, death, and regeneration.' And everybody is like 'ummm . . . no?' Literally this whole season is "um no" @ the Doctor… I love it.
the chosen one defending the world against the monsters I see what your brain is doing there.
A temptation has to be real to work. (And it's a temptation for both of them...)
