The legend of King Arthur predates thinking

"I knew he was afraid of my conquering army, but I didn't think he would be stupid enough to leave you behind." "Oh, no, you quite misunderstand. Your army's already dead."

ever think about twelve being so sick of losing people, especially losing people because of their belief in him as a hero, like amy. so he strips off that mask and shows how cold and calculating he is willing to be with lives and he chooses a face that shows his age and stops hiding his danger behind a charming smile or a bow tie. he does it as a kindness, so Clara knows what she's getting into. and she does. and she gets into it anyway. and it makes him even more desperate not to lose her. so he breaks all of his own rules, everything he stood for because just once he didn't want to have to lose someone. he went to the end of space and time the long way round, he beat death and he betrayed the home he spent his life searching for to try save her. for once he chose what he wanted, her, over the universe.

and after all that, all he managed to do was make it so she lost him instead.

mummy on the orient express really is The episode of doctor who ever. it’s got a perfect anachronistic setting: all the egyptomania of the jazz age, all the glamour of the roaring 20s, but set on a train! in space! and not just any train, but the orient express! where murders are happening in real time! with a countdown! and there’s interpersonal tension! messy drama! lies! more lies! manipulation! double bluffing! killer robot that’s actually a soldier from the past/future! a race against time! a clever resolution where almost everybody lives! the TARDIS doesn’t work until it does, because of course it fucking doesn’t! not one throwaway line of dialogue it’s all banger after banger! jelly babies in a cigarette case! there’s even a postmodern jukebox queen cover. it’s simply everything. put that bitch in a sarcophagus

i'm genuinely so obsessed with the twelve/clara dynamic. like,,,,

you're telling me you're normal about THIS????

[bestbestofbbcinmyhumblepinnion]

“do you think i care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference” is one of the most insane sentences ever said in my opinion

[bestbestofbbcinmyhumblepinnion]

You'd go to hell if she asked and she will.

Arthur: to discuss the legalisation of magic I have invited every powerful sorcerer that I know of to a meeting

Arthur: Merlin, send invitations to Dragoon, the Dolma, Emrys and, if you can track him down, the last dragonlord

[bestbestofbbcinmyhumblepinnion]

Oh how I love you modern Merlin as a medieval history professor. I can just imagine his students talking about him. "His lectures are great, he talks about it like he was actually there."

"Do NOT bring up Arthuriana he WILL go on an hour long rant and you WILL miss your last train home."

"He has this weird academic beef with Geoffrey Chaucer?!"

"His office reeks of herbs, lord knows what he puts in his morning tea."

"Dude's been teaching here for like 30 years and he still somehow looks 22."

"I swear to you, I saw his eyes turn gold one time during a lecture."

Sounds like the once and future kind wants his sword back.

Arthur: Need I remind you, Merlin, what happens when you interfere with a quest?

Merlin: Uh… the quest gets done?

[bestbestofbbcinmyhumblepinnion]

Someone should write a story about whoever has the most arrests on their record. Do the guards have to keep record on who gets arrested and why? Is Merlin's record just out there, four pages long in fine print naming every random reason he's been thrown in the dungeons? I imagine they'd start having fun with it eventually lmao
