Absolutely in love with Dot and Bubble because 15 echoes so much of 9 in this episode. "We're here to save you" and "we can save you all" and "if you just come with me, I can save you all" (I'm paraphrasing ofc)

He has the benevolence of 9. But he hasn't got much control over the person he regenerated into. We haven't seen this much kindness in ANY regeneration since 9.

12 was great, yes, but it's just one of those je ne sais quoi moments with 15 that makes me draw this parallel.

He has all the reasons to simply turn his back and let them suffer the fate they deserve, but he doesn't. He begs and grovels. Just so he can save people who look down on him in the worst possible way.

Most people in the situation would consider that to be beneath them. But the doctor doesn't. He should. He should ideally leave them for dead. But he doesn't want to. Because that's just who he is. "Just this once, Rose, everybody lives"

As viewers, we have NO reason to subscribe to the doctor's benevolence. We are the ones who are allowed to be (rightfully) enraged about Lindy Pepper-Bean. We get to feel vengeful. We get to hope she gets what she deserves. Her and her entire city of snobby rich kids.

And we can do nothing about it

That's the whole point though, isn't it? When the doctor doesn't get the ending he wants, we don't either. The entire point is for US to experience the same helplessness as the doctor. For us to feel the frustration he feels when it isn't all neatly wrapped up and tied with a bow.

Except our reasons for said frustration are less noble than the doctor's, automatically giving him the moral high ground which means we eventually circle back to the fact that the doctor just wants everyone to live.

Keeping humans safe is what matters most to him. Doesn't matter who they are, or what they're like. It's SO ninth doctor coded. I love Ncuti. I loved this episode. It was incredible. Made me feel so many things all at once.

Okay y'all...but 911 is actually a good fucking show. Like y'all only ever talked about the boy kissing - that didnt exactly prepare me for the CINEMA that was the emotional OSCAR WINNING TSUNAMI drama. This show has slutty gay firemen co-parenting yes, but it also has the campiest storylines in the modern era acted by, again, OSCAR WINNING ANGELA BASSETT??! What?!
