The Doctor: While I'm gone, you're in charge Jack. Jack: Yes! The Doctor, whispering to Rose: You're secretly in charge, but I don't want him to feel bad. Rose: Obviously.
This may seem like an exaggeration, the idea that one can learn how to properly think like a criminal by learning how crime stories work. On a personal note, let me tell a story from the Leverage writer’s room.
Apollo Robbins (http://www.istealstuff.com/) runs a crew of professional thieves who consult for law enforcement. He was also our criminal consultant on Leverage. Every few weeks he would visit the writer’s room to advise on the scripts and keep us up to date about new cons and the latest in criminal technology.
One day during the third season he sat in with the writers while we broke a story. We posted the details of a real-life white collar criminal up on the room’s whiteboard, using him as the basis for our Mark. We looked at his weaknesses, how he moved his money, what his hobbies were. Once we were happy with that element of the story we added a Vault to the mix, one that used an interesting new alarm technology we’d researched. We then spent about an hour figuring out how to circumvent that alarm. We even sketched out a map of the imaginary building so we could keep track of our Crew’s movements during the Job.
“Well, I’m done here,” Apollo muttered. Noting our confusion, he pointed at the board and index cards cluttering the wall. “This is exactly how real Crews plan these things. This writer’s room is now a fully functioning criminal gang. You could be thieves.”
Of course writing television pays better than crime (usually), with far less chance of being arrested (usually), so we all managed to resist the temptation. But aside from the day a US Attorney asked us to change a plot because we’d created a scam that was a little too foolproof, or when a Homeland Security Agent admitted they were spooked by a security hole we’d exploited in our season finale, it was certainly one of the proudest moments I had on the show.

Ninerose sketches

Hardy and Miller are on the case! across different police divisions 🚓
god nine was so fucking in love with rose. "i'm so glad i met you." "i could save the world but lose you." dancing with her and not realizing they'd been teleported because he was so besotted. "i only take the best. i've got rose." hating literally every other man she so much as glanced at. i am fully convinced that nine had so little self control when it came to his love for her, and if he had not regenerated he would have acted on it a thousand percent. i main tenrose but ninerose hits so different. i absolutely love them
THE LOVERS
Teeny tiny Ten and Rose
Happy pride month.
Rewatching S1 and really enjoying the ninerose dynamic on a more meta level this go around.
Obviously the appeal of a kind, wounded veteran falling back in love with humanity and the universe opening up for a brilliant, but stifled woman has been obvious to me on previous watches, but I'm really enjoying what I feel their relationship has to say about humanity's relationship to the wider universe overall.
While they both feel like grounded characters with a very real, human dynamic, they also undeniably represent something more metaphorical to each other:
The Doctor is infinite and unknowable, cold and righteously violent, but also full of wonder and excitement, compassionate and self-sacrificing. He's Rose's gateway to the universe, both in a literal sense by taking her through time and space, but also by stretching her ideas of what's possible - expanding her perception of her own limitations and the effect her actions can have on people and events.
Rose, on the other hand, represents everything beautiful about humanity, even in her imperfections. She's empathetic and passionate and stubborn and curious, and cares so deeply about the rights and well-being of the individual, even at the expense of the whole. She can be infuriatingly partial and rash, but there's real beauty in how, to her, everyone seemingly small and insignificant has such desperate importance. It's a reality - that every person is a universe in and of themselves - that the Doctor has had to callous over in order to survive the Time War, and one she wakes him up to.
They both start the show similarly jaded - unaware of or apathetic to humanity's importance to any kind of greater schema - just from opposite ends. Zooming out a bit, the Doctor represents the perspective of a cold, indifferent universe, where individual humans are nothing but small, demanding blips in a much larger whole, and Rose is just an ordinary human, with seemingly nothing of real value to offer anyone outside her small circle of influence.
To me, it's a real metaphor for the depressive crisis of modern life: the oppressive, omnipresent perspective that the universe is big, vast, and uncaring. That there is no love or purpose there, just space dust and decay, and humanity will fade and die with nothing of real value being added. So you "get up, get dressed, go to work, eat chips, and go to bed" over and over and over again, all because there's nothing else. Right?
Except there isn't "nothing else." The universe is full of wonder, mystery, adventure, and joy. And it has wounds - wounds even a small human can help heal.
And every human is full to the brim with complexity, history, and meaning - each one of them containing a world of memory, thoughts, and sensations. Their lives can shape the course of reality, and each of their deaths is the death of a tiny universe.
And as both of them discover the other and realize this, they start to switch places. The Doctor struggles more and more with the decision to end even one life to save countless others, because he starts to see just what it is he's terminating, and Rose increasingly refuses to accept a bystander's role, even when faced with problems of a depth she hasn't been remotely equipped to handle.
By the end, the Doctor can't do it. He can't end a civilization to save the universe, even knowing the end won't be permanent, and that the civilization will likely die without him. He's become small, emotional - a "coward." He's a man rendered ineffectual to the universe by the depth of his empathy.
And Rose refuses to accept the life of safety and normality that he's gifted her, because, in this moment, it would require her to accept impotence in the face of a world-ending threat as well as the death of someone she loves. By now, both her and the audience see that she has so much more to offer than that - that the power and depth of her care can change time and space, as love, stubbornness, creativity and a giant truck transform her into a golden, god-like apparition of herself.
In the first season's finale, he isn't cosmically significant. He only matters because of one woman's love for him. And for just a moment, that woman is the entire universe.
It's a long and beautiful journey toward a simple thesis: humans do matter. Desperately.
And I just think that's really cool.
