Rewatching the 9th Doctor after this marvelous video, and I have so many thoughts already. So prepare for an unfiltered string of thoughts about Doctor Who like it's the early 2010s again

S1E1:

I never gave Rose enough credit as a kid. I loved the cool settings and the wish-fulfillment of "run away from your responsiblities into fun sci-fi worlds." I saw myself more in Donna, the sardonic, no-nonsense not blond and pink and lame and feminine companion. But Rose is so wonderful. She's a 19 year old retail worker, with a normal relationship and normal mom. Not a genius, but she's surprisingly quick to act under pressure. And where she truly shines is her heart.

Because the Doctor is the brains. He's quippy and pragmatic and carries so much experience with him that he's become a bit distanced from the people he's trying to save. He's come to view people as dumb apes who just get in their own way and need someone like him to help him.

But the show doesn't portray this as a good thing!!! We don't start with the Doctor being Cool and Sarcastic, and Rose isn't introduced as some dumb bimbo. Rose is our POV character, the one we follow without a sign of the Doctor for the first 5 and a half minutes of the episode. She's the everyman, the one asking the questions for the audience, and the Doctor is seen as a whirlwind man of mystery, one whose only constant companion is death. The Doctor has to learn to trust Rose, but the audience doesn't.

Rose is so compassionate. She gets caught up in little things the Doctor doesn't, like finding out if her boyfriend is dead and getting her mom to safety and evacuating a restaurant full of people. She cares, she brings the Doctor back to earth when he gets too in his own head, and the show supports her for it from the start. This is one of my favorite New Who episodes, I think

Side note, I feel so bad for Clive. Poor bastard was just an average guy trying to figure out something strange (Like Rose), but he got shafted HARD. I'm glad they included Mikey and Rose both showing caution when meeting him, but also didn't turn him into a complete joke. Again, it really adds to the theme of "everyone has rich internal lives and its not up to any one person to decide if they're important". Also so does the Doctor not jumping straight to "poison the fuckers an kill em dead!!"

Also I'm never gonna get over "~pete-zzaaaaaa~"

Or the Doctor being so ace

Man, these past few days...so many thoughts. About my life then, my life now. What I missed. Thoughts about what I'll never have. And what I want to have.

It's sad to think 7th Time Loop is ending this week, but on the bright side, I'm looking forward to seeing a very special moment between Rishe and Arnold come to life when Rishe's engagement ring is ready and Arnold slips it onto her finger. It's so romantic!!!

So I was trying to remember stuff about Battlestar Galactica because I haven’t seen it since I was like 15 and most of what I remember from the episodes are the pilot (which we just rewatched and I’ve seen several times), the Fire in Space episode because I thought it was cool (?!?) and that episode where Apollo gets sent to Terra in disguise to try and prevent a nuclear war or something.

Anyway I was thinking about that last one and trying to remember how Apollo ended up disguised and on Terra in the first place and accidentally unlocked a core memory of the show which was THIS WEIRD THING:

the FUDGE was this thing and what were these people on about. why weren’t they more helpful. why does their ship look Like That. why is it glowing?! why did they keep kidnapping people?!

ahdkaks your tags on my post

but no, I actually felt the same way initially! literally when the episode ended my first post after that scene called it the darkest timeline because of margaret hijacking the couch metaphor lmao. I wasn't too upset cause I was riding the euphoria of bobby being acknowledged as bucks dad in canon but it definitely took me a while to be able to articulate everything to myself and actually accept the last scene. You're not alone!

ssdghsd yeeeah i had a lot of big emotions at first and then sat back and actually thought about it saw some tumblr posts and was like oh yeah...things aren't always black and white lmao
