cris watches dr. who: s01e08 - "Father's Day"

"I did it again. I picked another stupid ape."

Doctor, letting your companion visit the moment her dad died in a tragic accident is asking for trouble, you have got to realize that, rigth? You know how emotions work, if sometimes only laterally

Okay that filter hurts my eyes

The way that hit and run is shot is straight out of a trashy daytime opera. I can forgive the zeroes CGI, but this is just... bad

"Can we try again?" NOOO! Doctor, why would you agree to this. She might be a stupid ape but you're an equally stupid ape for not seeing this coming

Bad Wolf on the Atomic Energy poster! Drink!

Rose's dad is giving me Hey, It's That Guy-vibes, but I keep being wrong. He is not Arthur Weasley, nor is he John Dee (from The Sandman)

"For once you're not the most important man in my life!" That's the kind of angry thing you shout at a husband of ten years, not your tenuous non!boyfriend of a few time adventurous jaunts, Rose

Rose's smile when the Doctor returns after saying he'll leave her - that girl has it baaad

Is there a direct correlation between how messy Rose's hair is and how much of a mess she makes in the episode?

Look, the creatures look a little like The Mist (the bargain bin edition), but they're too badly rendered to be scary. The lost shoes and overturned carts are a lot more haunting - like when Cell attacks that city and leaves only clothes in his wake

The logic in this episode is a little shaky: why does this cause a Time Wound but not, say, Rose's romp with Charles Dickens? Is it because there's two Roses at the same time? But isn't the grandfather clause always in full effect? I know I shouldn't look too hard at the logic of time travel in this show, but this very episode specifically makes a point of it

When Rose tells her dad about what a great dad he is, she knows he's slated to die anyway, doesn't she?

Rose's mom is a menace, but her hair is absolutely fabulous

3 out of 8 Tardes. This episode is the first misstep: it doesn't quite click and either I don't get it, or the time travelling here doesn't quite follow the internal logic of the show

I have /feelings/ about the sandman, especially because Dreams not supposed to be human. So judging him by human logic and standard feels disingenuous. So i just took ep08 and kind of... filled the gaps of his and Gault conversation. I mostly think Dreams would need to learn how to word properly with others to be less of a moron. I mean he’d still be a dickhead by human standard but it would make more sense to me about /why/ he was a dickhead. (though i can’t imagine someone having access to dreams and nightmares of someone like donald trump could be anything less than slightly unhinged) 

Do you have any ideas what his life is like in the waking world?

Not really, Morpheus doesn’t pretend to observe the lives of every human being, every being that comes to the Dreaming. How many of them suffer through their life, for short or long period of times? Too many. Nearly all of them will, at one point or another, experience suffering. And while he doesn’t have the time to care, most of their experience will echo in him through the dreams and nightmare each and every last one of them will experience in his realm. Does he know what Jed’s life is like? No. But he knows one thing for sure, all the misery one experience in one’s life is the purpose of their living. Human are meant to live their life in the waking.

Human cannot lives in dreams. As long as he stayed there, the child had no life nor the chance for one.

The one, fundamental thing to ever guide Morpheus and his actions is the knowledge that leaving one’s life in the Dreaming is not fulfilling a human’s life. And if their had ever been any proof needed, his abduction and imprisonment for a century proved that. All these people, stuck in their dreams, slowly wasting their life and having their lifetime taken away. The boy is being abused. He’s suffering.

What would make Jed Walker matter more than anyone else? What would the child suffering matter more than any other child. Any other suffering. The Lord of Dreams and Nightmares purpose is not to protect one child. They are free of his influence in the waking. Only is he allowed to influence their dreaming, and by extent Dreams and Nightmares have the same limitations.

You abused that suffering to build a Dreaming you could rule.

I had no wish to rule. I merely wish to be a Dream and not a Nightmare. To inspire rather than to frighten. Commendable for a human, toward fellow human. Which Gault is not. Neither is he. Their wish, their hope, their feelings didn’t matter for they had their own place.

The choice is not yours to make. We do not choose to be created. Nor do we choose how we are made.

Hadn’t he himself wish to be other than himself, at some point or other in his existence? When rules had prevented him to act as he would have wish to. When his own actions had only brought him and others misery. He knew of choice. He knew none of them had any.

That is true. But we can change.

How to make his creation understand the fundamental flaw of their thinking? Who were they to decided of the influence they get to have on humanity, outside of their designated purpose behind their existence. No we are, each of us, born with responsibilities. Even I am not free to choose to be other than I am. Nor is anyone.   Had he not similar thought when rules imposed to him had prevented him to act as he would have wish to. When his own actions had only brought him and others misery, had he not also tried to find solace in merely thinking about leaving his responsibilities behind? He knew of choice. He knew he had none. Neither any of his creations. If that were true, why did all the other Dreams and Nightmares choose to leave this place when you had gone away? A knife through his heart would hurt less. He knew about the lack of loyalty of everyone living in his realm when he came back to an empty, destroyed land; but hearing from one of his own subject hurt. One who left and decided not only not to come back, but to actively act against their maker’s instruction. What could be more of a faithlessness, an abandonment. Not all of us chose to leave and nearly all have returned.

Ah, Lucienne. Steadfast and faithful when nearly all other had left him. Do you think they came back out of love? Or because they were afraid of what you would do to them if they did not?  Because I’m not afraid. Had he failed in his task that much? First the Corinthian, killing humans in the waking. And now Gault, repudiating the design of their existence. You should be. A Nightmare’s purpose is to reveal a dreamer’s fears, that they may face them. Perhaps a few thousand years in the darkness will reveal your fears. Better that than to make others afraid. Even a Nightmare can dream, my lord.

THE SANDMAN S01E08 - "Playing House"

[rayansparda]

Flawed creations...

Creature: Oh, my creator, why... Why did you not make me of steel and stone? Why did you allow me to feel? I would rather be the corpse I was than the man I am.

Penny Dreadful (S01E08 Grand Guignol)

The Corinthian: Do you know why I do it? So I can taste what it's like to be human.
