Sutekh is a Whovian, to me...

4.02 The Fires of Pompeii

My favorite thing about this scene personally is that the Doctor was fully able to speak, but instead of directly telling Donna what he needs, he decides to make fun of her answers and I think that is peak sibling dynamic

I'm rewatching my favorite Tenth Doctor episodes, and I'm shocked by just how alive he was back in season 2, before he lost Rose. He was sunshine and laughter and finding delight in absolutely everything. He was still haunted by the Time War, but it didn't threaten to consume him the way it had in season 1. It's not that he was always happy. There were times when he became vengeful or melancholy, but those were the exceptions rather than the norm. His default state was a kind of wild excitement, ecstatic simply to be existing. When he lost Rose, he lost that. That spark, that awe of life, even that smile, all gone. Oh sure, there were moments when he seemed to get it back, and as the seasons progressed he became less miserable and started to live more, but he's never exactly the same. He never fully regains that reckless, unfiltered joy that he had back in season 2.

"We can go off together"

We were all thinking it, when this scene appeared in the 60th Doctor Who episode "The Giggles"

"Context:

This image depicts the demon Crowley played by David Tennant from Good Omens sitting next to his "husband" the angel Aziraphale played by Michael Sheen from Good Omens. They are watching the 14th Doctor from Doctor Who deliver a line that Crowley repeatedly asked his Angel.

It's a cute show."

Things that both happen in the same episode of doctor who

(content warning for dark humour and references to various morbid topics)

1.A thoughtful and moving depiction of suicidal depression/The Doctor fights a giant invisible chicken

2.An iraq war allegory involving aliens that cut off human skin and wear it/those aliens also fart a lot and laugh about it

3.The Doctor is tortured for billions of years in a metaphor for the incremental nature of moving on from grief/doors are revealed to be canonically sentient and mad at everyone and the doctor makes a psychic link with one

4.The Doctor grapples with the consequences of abandoning his friend because he cannot face the inevitability of her death/aliens make kids into geniuses by feeding them french fries fried in space oil so they can hack into the universe, they are then killed by said french fry oil

5.A man must deal with his loved one's inevitable death from a terminal illness/the doctor flys a sleigh pulled by a flying shark while wearing a santa hat

6.The Doctor accidentally causes his companion to be killed then brought back only to be trapped in a dystopia for ten years mutilated and dehumanized/missy dabs

7.The endpoint of the human race is revealed to be them mutilating themselves putting their heads in spheres and sadistically murdering other humans for fun/The Doctor becomes tinkerbell jesus

8.The Doctor admits that he's seen so many people die that he's lost count and become numb to it/the villains evil plan revolves around burning a sea monsters poop as fuel

9.The Doctor grapples with the ethical implications of the death penalty/a farting alien tries to blow up a town and then escape on a space surfboard

10.The Doctor abandons his companion for 30 years and then erases a version of her from existence against her will/a robot is killed by getting hit on the head by a replica of the mona lisa

I’m a doctor. I’m a time lord. I’m from the planet Gallifrey on the constellation of Kasterborous. I’m weird. I’m a weirdo. I don’t fit in and I don’t wanna fit in. Have you ever seen me without this stupid phone box? That’s weird.

The fact that Rose Tyler is the only lover with whom the Doctor wanted to build a normal life, for whom he wanted to become human, that he imprinted on her to the point that she was the heart of his 10th incarnation, the only one for whom an incarnation was specifically made, that even the memory erased he remembered her name and her face, that she was more important than the Tardis, the only one to whom he almost said I love you several times time, the only one to whom he really ended up saying the words I love you, the only companion with whom he had ever been so relaxed, the only one described by the screenwriters as the love of his life.

[miametropolis]

when the Doctor goes to the Powell Estate on New Year’s Eve as he’s dying, he asks Rose what year it is. all of the other visits were so calculated. he saves Mickey and Martha on a distant planet, just in the nick of time. he swats Luke out of the road before a car comes. he goes back in time and finds Geoffrey Noble, borrowing a quid, and gives Wilf a winning lottery ticket worth millions. he caught Donna’s wedding, just as she stepped out of the church.

But Rose. Oh, with Rose.

the Doctor says: “what year is this?” because he doesn’t even know.

do you think he just jammed his hands into the telepathic circuit as his body failed? do you think he just dreamt of her, desperately, the one face he was dying to see? do you think he hoped, prayed, that somehow he’d end up on her doorstep?

and the he’s in an alleyway full of snow. in London. and he knows that building, knows those stairs. and it’s finally snowing, for real this time. and he sees her, doesn’t even mean to speak to her, too afraid of timelines and paradoxes as putting her at risk…

but he’s in pain, and he grunts, and Rose—always ready to help someone in pain—turns around.

and the Doctor says: “what year is this?”

and when Rose says it’s 2005…oh, how his face lights up. It’s all ahead for her. And for him, too. I bet—he says—you’re gonna have a really great year...

Kinda adore the fact that any time the Master comes back to Doctor Who the Doctor basically pauses the story and tells their companions "sorry, gotta deal with some psychosexual romantic drama with my on-and-off-again genderfluid homicidal ex/narrative foil that WILL traumatize you (and your family/boyfriend/loved ones) for the rest of your lives" all the while the companions are literally just the Live Slug meme

[twinge-of-cosmicangst]

If I had a nickel for every time the Doctor had a sassy ginger companion he referred to as his best friend, and then said ginger companion had a daughter whose name begins with R (and was not the name they were born with) and this daughter even though human, has certain time lord characteristics due to complex plot reasons, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.
