PEARL MACKIE as BILL POTTS in DOCTOR WHO (2017)

[lesbianbeiovaz]

The Doctor: The only person I know whose almost as smart as me.

Me: MISSY MISSY MISSY

[past-shaped]

why does moffat’s doctor have to be such an asshole 

[cupcakeshakesnake]

Watching The Lie of the Land for the first time

Episode aired more than two weeks ago, still, spoilers below the cut

-Well the monks might have caused a ton of bullshit in the last episode but at least they haven’t been complete tyrants in the alternate history they made

-As in, they didn’t kill the entire effing planet

-exCUSE ME THE DOCTOR DEFEATED THE DALEKS AND WHATNOT

Earth History v.2, featuring BBC’s Photoshop skills.

-ah nevermind

Featuring... THE MONK OF RIO instead of Jesus

oh shit doctor

-Who made you record this

-Why

-Are you being tortured right now

-Did someone lock you up

the fuck WHAT DID THEY DO

-...wow

-So for some reason she is not affected by the monks and seeing through the false history

BILL??!!?!

-Okay but how long did it take Pearl Mackie to straighten her hair

Stop with the glitches, you’re freaking me out

Two statues in one town is a bit too much don’t you think

DOCTOR STOP FREAKING ME OUT WITH THAT SMILE AND THAT TONE OF VOICE

-It’s been a while since I was this worried about an episode even before the intros

BILL’S MUM IS ALIVE?!!

-Well this is one dystopian univese.

-Okay, I’m actually tearing up. Not downright crying, I don’t really do that for some reason (and if I say something like I’M CRYIGHN;; anywhere it’s just a metaphor) but this.

-Imagine the pain of being one of the few, if not the only one, in this entire world who knows what actually happened, but no one believes you nor is it wise for your own being if you let loose your knowledge. Imagine watching the people you might have known, the people you knew once shared the same knowledge and lived in the same universe as you did, completely brainwashed, and not even aware of it. You’re the only one around who knows that things had been better for them.

-And your college professor/alien is (apparently) locked up in an interrogation chamber somewhere and forced to make propaganda videos.

-Come back, Doctor. Please come back.

-...And then your mother suddenly disappears...

tHANK GOODNESS (but also hahahahasd)

aw yiss

-the what now

-so Bill’s mum wasn’t actually there?

-That’s... really sad.

-I think you guys should cover your windows with your curtains

-”Found it in the Tardis. Yeah, it was in one of the drawers with some old takeaway menus and fifty Danish krone.”

-Bill stop punching Nardole <:P

-”His son is serving ten years in a labour camp for possession of a box of comics.”

-Well that’s bullshit, I take back what I said about the Monks earlier. Literally the only thing they did well is not committing genocide (unless they edged on Hitler to cause the Holocaust.)

Yikes. Quite the ominous entrance for a ‘savior’ type of species, wouldn’t you say?

I have bad feelings already. Whovian intuition

-Okay, so if they locked him up and forced him to do broadcasts all day that would be horrible but WHAT IF HE WAS BRAINWASHED TOO OR CONTROLLED IN SOME WAY, THAT WOULD BE EVEN WORSE

-WHAT IF BILL AND NARDOLE WALK IN TO FINS THE DOCTOR SEEMINGLY COMPLETELY SIDING WITH THE MONKS

-I HAVE THE EPISODE ON PAUSE AND I AM TAKING MY TIME TO FREAK OUT

-Monk: “Hello, who is this?”  Doctor: “Epsilon. Fire. Jupiter. Lily.“  Monk: “K gotcha fam, I’m going over”

Why is his suit so ragged again

-(Okay, at this point I went away for lunch, and I had to close all windows because I’m using a library computer, and when I came back and tried to find the approximate point where I left off I accidentally ran into the regeneration bit - the one they showed in the trailer - and a little bit of me died on the spot)

-”It's like that time we discovered that huge fish creature in the, in the Seine in Paris.”  ...?

-”And whose fault was that, huh? I didn't ask for my sight back. No, you took it upon yourself to ignore me, to do what you thought was best. All I can say is that we are lucky it was a benevolent race like the Monks, not the Daleks. Yes, I know the Monks are ruthless. I get that. Yes, they play with history and I'm not exactly thrilled about that. But they bring peace and order.“ Ooph.

-But I can’t shake off the feeling that the Monks aren’t just here out of good will, and they’re actually planning something bad for humanity for their own gain. Because so far none of their actions seem to directly benefit them in any way except gaining humanity’s respect, and this doesn’t make a whole lot of sense since they have shown themselves to be not that benevolent.

-I’m very confused and worried

?!!!?!1?!?!?!!?11?!??what?!?!?!???!!

?!??!!?!?1?!!?!??!?!?!???ㅇㅁㅇ??!?!?!!!!

-...what the fuck....

Holy shit...

-So yeah I know he’s not regenerating until the finale or the Christmas special but my worry levels have gone all the way up to 100 nonetheless

SHIT it’s the bit from the trailer

-Okay

HUEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH

-Twelve, your Ten is showing.

what  thank fucking goodness

me right now

the owl is proud.

-he is a proud alien pap.

-Anyway, *breathes in* *breathes out* THANK FUCKING GOODNESS.

-”And there's loads of them. I could do with a Strepsil.“  I looked it up and Strepsil’s a throat pill. Okay. I get the joke now.

-(I don’t really get how guns work but what does ‘blank’ ammo exactly mean? Bill fired the gun and something came out, didn’t it?)

-”I called the kitchen. Oh, could you pop down and explain it to them? They're going to be really confused.“

-In that case, lemme do this again:  Cook: “Hello, what I do for you?”  Doctor: “Epsilon. Fire. Jupiter. Lily.“  Cook: “...???”

-”Oh my God I am going to beat the SH-”

-Second time Bill has ALMOST spoken the s- word in this show y’all

-”The only person I know almost as smart as me.”  “Oh. Oh, I see. Blimey. Has it really come to that?“

-Oh boy.  Are we gonna see Missy?

-”We could have snuck back in, but the Doctor being the Doctor...”

*hijacks huge ship* *runs - or sails - straight into a bridge* *crazed laughter* Yep, that’s the Doctor alright.

-I think I hear a bit of 11′s theme in there too

-”OH MAN I HAVEN’T DONE THIS IN YEARS”  “Doctor you were in there for only six months”

-Kinda random, but I’m wondering if they ever repaired the wall after the UN broke into his office.

THE VAULT IS FINALLY OPEN

-AFTER SEVEN EPISODES IT’S OPEN

-”But it’s just a woman.”  you think

-"The way you and Nardole have been carrying on, I thought you had some kind of monster in here, or something!”  “I do.”

-”Wait a sec. Why have you got a woman locked in a vault? Because even I think that's weird, and I've been attacked by a puddle.“  “She's going cold turkey from being bad.”

-THE STATUES ACTUALLY HAD A PURPOSE

-THERE WAS A REASON THEY HAD ALL THOSE STUPID GODDAMN STUATUES

-FORESHADOWING

-”The Monks put up statues in every town square, and every park, and every playground.”  ...Playgrounds. Really.

-”Oh well then it’s sorted. Just kill them.”  Welp

there goes that plan

-”Well, at this point, all that was left of the bloodline was a wee girl, and I just pushed her into a volcano.“  oh wow

-”You'd be a husk. Completely and irrevocably brain-dead. You couldn't even get on Celebrity Love Island.“  AHAHAHAHAHHAHAA

-Did the Doctor just walk through that forcefield

-Well what was the point of said forcefield

missy is taller than twelve??

-”I could even throw in some other stuff. The things that I could change just by thinking. Racism. People who talk in cinemas.”  Please do

-”Are you sure? This would be an incredibly sophisticated transmitter, powerful enough to beam highly detailed propaganda to the entire world twenty four hours a day, and you're going to plug your brain into it?” “I know. It doesn't stand a chance.“  WOOHOO!

-”Now, have you all got your stereo headphone i--thing?“

-Oh shit that guy’s player is broken

Nardole has stars on his earphones :D

-Tarovian Neck Pinch. Yeah, I er, I studied their martial arts for a while, actually. Yeah, reached the level of Brown Tabard. Can't do it with this hand though. Kind of bugs me. Course, this wasn't my original hand, as you know. I won this in a game of -- yeah, let's crack on.”

Interesting visuals.

oh holy shit

-holy shit that’s one hell of a mindpower

HE’S DOWN, I REPEAT, THE DOCTOR IS DOWN!!

-”I don't want our last conversation to be this.”  ”I don't want this to be our last conversation.”

-Oh god it’s dark again

-dsssaskkldasjkadsjkladjkl

one ugly head you got there

oh shit

-I’m stoked for two reasons:  1. This whole scene.  2. The fact that the whole Bill’s mum side story in episode 1 was foreshadowing.

they’re still at it

-”Bill’s mum, you just went viral.”

haha what

-The pyramid was a spaceship? I wasn’t expecting that.

“You, appalling hair.”

-Well excuse me let me remind you of your sixth incarnation

-And tbh that hair kinda looks like Missy’s

-”Er, we thought they were just like filming something here or something?“  Realistic dialogue, that’s actually what a late teen would say, 10/10

-”Thank you. Very helpful. Now go away, or something.“  HA HA HA

-The funny thing is that at the moment the Doctor says “-or something” in the episode, distant laughter can be heard.

-”Why do you put up with us, then?”  "In amongst seven billion, there's someone like you. That's why I put up with the rest of them.“  Aww.

Awwwww

She’s- crying? She’s, actually, crying.

“I keep remembering all the people I've killed. Every day I think of more. Being bad, being bad drowned that out. I didn't know I even knew their names. You didn't tell me about this bit.” “I'm sorry, but this is good.” ... "Okay.”

Doctor Who - The Lie of the Land

“Regeneration a little bit too much?”

[dumbfilmschoolkid]

Doctor Who 10x08

Remember the Doctor’s regeneration “prank” to Bill? Well, hear me out: It really disturbed me partly because regenerations are not funny AND SECOND: THE DOCTOR HAS SAID BEFORE THAT ONCE THE REGENERATION HAS STARTED THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO STOP IT. I looked it up and the 11th Doctor told Clara in "The Time of the Doctor" and I'm pretty sure that the 10th had also said something like that to Wilfred when the process started.

So there is NO WAY the Doctor would do this just for fun, because he would genuinely have to regenerate then. Also, there was no need for this to happen since Bill has no idea what regenerating even is, so she was probably more confused than scared (Plus its a very painful and agonizing process that all the Doctors so far have been afraid of.).

To sum up: That was plain, lore-defying, fan bait.

“Impossible to set a trap without making a self-portrait of your own weaknesses.” says the man who is. and i cannot stress this enough. keeping missy in a trap. sure, she chose to go in there but like it is a jail cell. it is a trap. so. 🤨

Why'd you put up with us, then?  In amongst seven billion, there's someone like you. That's why I put up with the rest of them.
