this scene is played as a badass moemnt in the show and is treated as one by the fandom but if you think about it at all its actually so funny because hes just saying the type of alien he is and a completely normal age and place to be from for that type of alien. thats like if you tried to boast by saying "im a californian. i'm from the city of long beach in the county of los angeles. i am 38 years old and i'm going to save your life" but nobody around you knew anyone older than 19 or had ever heard of california so it sounded really impressive

[txttletale]

and also you didnt tell them that one time the californian government exiled you from the state of california or that other time where you were put on trial by the state of california or the time you were elected governor of california after being framed for assassinating the previous governor but drove away in your toyota camry before they could make you do the job

me & friends have been re-watching Matt Smith's era of dr who. a recent discussion point is as follows:

the show keeps trying to spin the amy/rory/doctor love triangle as 'cool hero vs awkward nerd' which is strange bcos the Doctor is frankly massive more awkward and nerdy than Rory. by the end of the season straight up Rory is an action hero. im honestly not sure if this was intentional.

relatedly like. we gotta be real Arthur Darvill is the more conventionally handsome of these 2 actors. with all the love in my heart Matt Smith is a legitimately weird looking guy. his head is shaped like some kind of smooth bean and he has no eyebrows.

Mr Darvill was a good pick for this kind of role bcos, while a good looking guy, he can move between Average and Hottie depending on how he's being styled. the show occasionally makes jokes about him having a big nose but i don't actually think that's a physically flaw dfdkjghfjk? it feels a little divorced from what people who attracted to men are actually into.

Important thing to remember about any given tardis team is that in addition to being adventuring buddies they are also housemates

[penny-anna]

The Thirteen Fam is a pretty functional set of housemates I think. They have a chore wheel and 3/4 of them stick to it. The Doctor is a little confused by the concept and constantly trying to implement improvements to the chore wheel rather than actually doing chores.

[penny-anna]

The tenth doctor constantly leaves half finished mugs of tea precariously balanced on the tardis console and every time Donna finds one she gets really really mad. Meanwhile she keeps leaving wet towels all over the bathroom floor.

[penny-anna]

The Doctor does that thing where you leave 1/4 TSP of milk in the bottle and Rory brings the bottle into the console room like Doctor do you think this is an acceptable amount of milk to put back on the fridge and the Doctor is like umm I think it's an AMAZING amount of milk?? You could do so many things with that amount of milk! And Amy takes his side to spite Rory

Meanwhile every time Rory does laundry Amy sneaks her clothes in bcos she's never bothered to learn how to use a washing machine. However when Rory takes off his socks and leaves them on the floor instead of putting them in the laundry basket she retaliates by pouring cold water on him while he's sleeping.

[penny-anna]

Ten and Rose don't have any of these problems bcos they eat exclusively snacks and Rose saves up all her laundry till she's back at her mum's

[penny-anna]

Yes they do it in every room & on a regular basis the Doctor walks in on them and immediately covers his eyes and starts howling in anguish

I’m sending a cartoonishly large explosive to whomever decided that Doctor Who should have an eight-episode structure

[natequarter]

[kate voice] when you think about it... all of our parents had sex with the doctor

[st4rshiptr00per]

they need to stop killing the time lords bc i want the opportunity for a gag about somebody dying embarrassingly between scenes and showing up looking rattled played by a different actor

[st4rshiptr00per]

CIA time lord dressed as a period-appropriate human but all torn up and dirty stumbles into the room looking frazzled, now played by someone else

their partner: gods what happened to you

CIA time lord: BUS.

i know they didn’t really have another choice but it’s so disappointing that they just tacked a regeneration scene at the end of an episode that initially wasn’t at all meant to be a farewell. ncuti TOTALLY should have had one last special with tons of hype surrounding it where he battles the daleks and saves rogue before exiting the show, something that actually FEELS like a conclusive send-off instead of getting an out-of-nowhere regeneration in an episode that wasn’t even remotely building to it :(
