so catey and i had a talk about tonight's episode of doctor who
things under the cut
first of all a warning i sorta kinda ship clara/eleven i didn't mean to it just kind of happened i looked at them and my chest caved in, i had no choice
you should know that in advance, i suppose, if that will color your opinion of my... well. opinion.
[I'm sorry. Tumblr has utterly killed my ability to speak using punctuation of any kind. I imagine that's a shock for most of you. It alarms me too.]
ANYWAY.
Catey: STOP AREN'T YOU LISTENING
Me: ;oirhgae;rkgjae
Me: i
Me: army of ghosts
Me: ARMY OF GHOSTS
Me: IT'S NOT A GHOST STORY IT'S A LOVE STORY
Me: HOW IS THIS HAPPENING
Catey: YES EXACTLY GLAD YOU SHOWED UP
...
Catey: loves separated by a universe
Catey: and he helped them be together???
Me: well next week seems interesting
Catey: LEAH
Me: i can't
Catey: HE MADE A DOCTOR/ROSE STORY END WELL
Me: don't ask me i cant
Catey: FOR MONSTERS
Me: no stop
Catey: leah
Catey: i screamed about this for 40 minutes
Catey: how is this happening
Me: if i think about it i'll never stop screaming either i can't do it
Catey: I've veered from "this can no longer be an accident, something is happening" all the way back to "no Neil Cross is just an RTD fan and they're all accidents and that was probably the last one"
Catey: hold hands forever that's the key
Me: no but she's so
Me: i mean yes, everything you are saying, yes
Me: but like
Me: struggling to articulate the thing.
Me: the doctor loves clara so much more than she loves him. that's new. that's the difference. she doesn't even see the way he looks at her because she thinks he must see them all that way.
Me: it's why she had to ask.
Catey: "Is that what you do to all of us" "No, not to you"
Me: you are the only mystery worth solving.
Catey: I
Catey: don't want Moffat to be allowed to write ever again?
...
Me: but like
Me: i never know where i stand with clara because she clearly LIKES this and LIKES him, and maybe she doesn't even know why
Me: but when she was yelling at emma to get him back
Me: it felt just as much "fuck he's my ride how do you 1974" as "give him back to me"
Catey: yep
Me: and i don't blame her for that, they've only just met.
Me: but not to him, and that's what always bothered me about river but is really working for me here
Me: because it's the doctor who has the feelings, and it makes me care about it
Catey: YEAH
Catey: ugh I'm
Catey: I don't want the finale to happen I don't want Neil to be done adh;iad;haer
Catey: swinging back into panic
Me: yeah i saw the title release
Me: and it's like WOW HOW LITTLE I CARE.
Catey: and River's back and again ugh over it
Me: i mean.
Catey: although this could be the last time, right? because then she'll be off to the singing towers or the library or whatever?
Me: why the doctor chose to be called "doctor"
Me: that is an interesting story to me
Me: his actual name?
Catey: it doesn't even matter
Catey: his actual name is Doctor
Me: once you reveal it there's no... that's not the point.
Catey: ugh.
Me: also why does the tardis hate her so much
Catey: that's confusing
Me: i mean
Me: my current headcanon
Me: is that she still feels loyalty to rose because of bad wolf
Me: and is just being petty
Me: like the best friend who hates the ex's new girlfriend on principal, even if her friend has no hard feelings
Catey: I like that, but then it's...she didn't hate Amy?
Me: he wasn't in love with amy.
Catey: and the relationship dynamic was different I guess
Catey: but she super loves River, also
Me: river was conceived within her tho
Me: ...ew
Me: so
Me: it's maternal
Me: and i mean a lot of people have likened it to the tardis freaking out about jack
Me: which
Me: now that i think about it?
Me: that doesn't even make any sense.
Me: like. it does, because he's a Wrong Thing because he's Stuck
Me: but Rose did that. Rose did that with the TARDIS, via the TARDIS, in the TARDIS, through the TARDIS... pick your preposition really
Me: so you'd think the TARDIS would be cool with it.
Catey: that's why people are connecting it, though, I think. They're the same people who want Clara to be connected with Rose/Bad Wolf
Catey: but look really are we not going to talk about how this episode was the Ten/Rose story seriously freak out about it
Me: no i still can't yet
Me: it's like
Me: you know stephen fry's lost episode? where he was like "no sorry rose or bust" and we've never known
Me: it's like
Me: i imagine it would have been
Me: an awful lot like Hide.
Catey: wait I don't know about this
Me: that's not possible.
Catey: I'm the only mystery blah blah
Me: "Stephen Fry wrote a script for Doctor Whothat was never filmedWell-known actor and author Stephen Fry was invited to write an episode for season twenty-eight. When it became apparent that the 1920′s-based episode would be too complicated to fit into the season, it was pushed back and replaced by “Fear Her.” While it was intended to be included in the following season, the necessary rewrites, including replacing Rose Tyler with Martha Jones, were too time-heavy for Fry to complete, and the script was eventually abandoned."
Catey: what
Catey: HOW did I not know
Me: they say time-heavy
Me: but really
Me: it was too shippy
Me: is what is widely accepted
Me: he was like "i'm sorry i can't write this without rose without changing everything about it"
Me: how did you not know that everyone knows that
Catey: I DON'T KNOW UGH
Catey: okay I have to sleep now because I have to get up early but
Catey: WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THIS SOON
Me: WHAT NO YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME LIKE THISso i don't know you guys that's where i stand i am more than open to your thoughts.
