honestly i got such a soft spot for matt smith’s doctor despite myself
and this seems like a fun episode!!!
weeping angels. AGAIN
so.......why was mother superius aware of the whole thing - had it all figured out - and then let the Doctor on the planet anyway? then threatened that same planet over it.
hmmmm is it just me or does it make no sense that the Doctor just hangs around Trenzalore and Christmas kicking out an Angel or wood Cyberman every once in a while?
like. speak your name or don’t? how’s anybody gonna stop you?
and. uh. why is he growing so old. because it’s his last regeneration....i thought he’d gone 400 years without visible aging before....is it the lack of tumbling around the TARDIS....?
ok so they both have leverage. he can’t speak it because christmas would be destroyed. (whY do the other races know about the timelords comin through and the whole standoff?)
sooooo. The Doctor let Christmas and Trenzalore become a battlefield? like.? justification: every life i save is worth it. ok uh good point. but what was the reason for staying there and fighting Daleks? couldn’t he have lured them away from the planet? if they had to fight, why not fight in space ya kno. they would have firebombed the planet to get rid of the crack? that how it works?
wow Clara feels no connection with her parents at all huh?
with which i mean, why are they even in the episode??? they don’t ground her AT ALL. she doesn’t feel more connected to her own world. apparently she never was! she’s impossible. is it to emphasise that? that she doesn’t belong with them even on Christmas? that she’s running away? that she’s running towards something that’s her birth right? ok cool cool cool.
Tasha Lem is great but also uhhhhhhhh very River-like. im saying she’s tooooo River like. won’t accuse of same-cool-woman-syndrome but actually i will
there’s so much back and forth! it kind of - like - why??? it kind of unspools the sadness of un-coming death and spools it again, and then unspools it again and then -
Clara’s certainly had three episodes of ‘oh shit, im sad. things are sad and deep. im hanging out and altering events a bit. oh he’s dying. shit, sad. gotta save him. oh, he’s making the worst mistake of his life, gotta cry a bit and change things. oh he’s dying again. damn. gotta do the encourage’.
(WHY the fuck did Gallifrey do that for him - they didn’t even get anything back! lol. never broke through the damn crack)
god Jenna Coleman is really good at crying! i say this completely sincerely that is AMAZING. how do actors do it
(but also....she’s just....crying teh whole episode. or skipping. and then crying again. this is what i mean this is yo-yo effect. it’s TOO much. where right now for 13 i feel like sometimes it’s too little, here it is TOOOOOO MUCH)
destroyed a Dalek control ship in the...stratosphere. with regeneration. i am just nodding along. we’re lucky that 12 was clearly holding back. or the TARDIS is lucky
i actually really like capaldi.
(I just don’t like! going two seasons to finally find out in an aside who the hell the silence were - and then now that we’re talking about the silence - how the hell didn’t every human being attack them (i.e. clara) on sight?? -that was the fix!!! at one point remember!!)
ONCE AGAIN the whole premise (people who are worth protecting - an enormous war as end) are all just threads to wrap up into the mythology!!!!!!!!! aghsdfjalkfkdj
- ‘i need four days with you’ ‘then what?’ ‘then your training is complete’ ‘mmm alright’ ‘day one begins.....time to read.’‘WHAT’
AHAHAHAHAHAHA
- ‘w-w-wait dairon has been - talking about me? what did she say?’ ha awww (also those are some COOL ass powers)
- ‘from you friendly neighbourhood healers,’ * GASP* ‘you guys can heal??’
- oh god, this is so crazy hahaha fuckin jester
- ‘i think what his holiness is trying to convey is that he’s going to make a spiritual journey and there’s only room on that train for one dude’JLKFJKLDJSFSDL
- THIS IS THE ULTIMATE TRICKSter SHENANIGANS!!! I FUCKING LOVE THIS THIS IS GONNA MAKE FOR THE COOLEST STORY people believving things blindly, and jester blinking in and out, and suddenly there being super many, and then just VANISHING. is just AMAZING ultimate Trickster!!!! that half-elf is like: ?!?!?!?
- anyway i dont remember the rest so lets move on to 32
- THEY ARE ROLLING SO WELL.
- Matt come ON you could have told them that the cart wasn’t going to look empty- they said that like 6 times - could have corrected them - they’re clearly fucking dumbasses. their plan doesn’t make sense now and immersion break. but Taliesin totally fixed it
- THEY ABSOLUTELY PUMMELED THESE ETTENS
- OOOOO is this where the animals come in??? :D
- mATT’s owl faces are AMAZING. it’s like it’s enjoying it begrudgingly - mrr it does feel good >:( ‘we’re so much alike’ I WAS JUST THINKING THAT BEAU
- ‘you are responsible for this animal’s stealth checks’ ‘get out of my head’ deadpan hahaha
- MARISHA IS SO!! HAPPY!!! (matt really know what to introduce for that hahhaaha)
- i....had completely the wrong idea of the shape of the table
im reading namaah’s kiss and holy shit i am starting to despise raphael. like, not because he’s an inherently bad person, or because he is...truly .......well he shows some mildly abusive behaviours i guess? he apologises, mends his ways...in general. probably not in this, since he ‘can’t control himself’ (YIKE). Like....I’m just glad that she’s magically into him and always up for banging in some sense. but i don’t think it’s supposed to be sexy. I was like, is this supposed to be sexy? because i find his sexual pushy dominance thing rather very off-putting
He’s simply very predatory, although he’s extremely honest about the fact that he is using her for her magic.
I just wish that Moirin would get the fuck out of there.
HOLY FUCK MOIRIN STOP SUMMONING FUCKING DEMONS FOR YOUR PET PREDATOR WHO YOU ARE MAGICALLY LINKED TO SOMEHOW THAT IS NO EXCUSE TO LET HIM ALMOST KILL YOU AGAIN!
why the fuck are they linked again? what? are they gonna be enemies? because i don’t see this ending elsewise
EVERYBODY! LITERALLY THE FUCKIN DEMON IS SAYING: get the fuck out of there Moirin, get the fuck out of this mess and kick this shitman to the curb
but noooooo
Raphael is clearly lying to both Moirin and himself, he just doesn’t know it. He is going to use you up. don’t fall for it
EVEN FUCKING JEHANNE THE GODDAMN QUEEN THE RIVAL FOR HIS AFFECTIONS IS TELLING YOU TO FKLDJSFKLJDS:FKDLFJSDF
moirin i know you are 17 and that is exactly why i had my doubts about this shitman raphael but by all the fucking gods take one fucking second to think about your mother and what she’s fucking taught you and extract yourself from these terrible entanglements of life-draining bullshit
one gift, raphael said. yeah except you’re likely to summon a demon that’s gonna fuc u the fuck up
THAT’S WHY. because she needed the encounters with these spirits to gain this gift!!! that’s why she is bound to Raphael. HOLY FUC
AND SHE KEEPS GOING. STOP ! but i guess this is gonna be the demon who’s gonna fuc their shit the fuc up
she is literally giving up her life, how many years now has she burnt??? the only reason she not ded is because she’s been practicing to breathe chi
i just wrote an enormously bam bam bam anti-sexist rant on a youtube comment. clicked next to the fucking pop-up bullshit google youtube bullshit answer window. It was fucking gone.
I am just so sick. of these fucking companies. I can’t help but feel like the whole monstrosity and all its spawn are just self-satisfied pieces of shit who don’t even understand how to create a fucking FUNCTIONAL WEBSITE I MEAN JEZUS FUCKING CHRIST
