the fatal frame movie was the sapphic horror film we all deserve and it crushes my heart to know it’s not widely known/available

name of the doctor

would be a lot more impactful if it didn’t give the sense - immediately -  of a paradox, a fix that has already happened, a sequence of events simply occurring and twists and puzzles and decisions just motions to go through - inevitable

probably would have helped if he hadn’t given away the game from the opening theme.

it’s the utmost example of what’s wrong with moffat’s writing

and then it doesn’t even make any sense!!! because why would River nudge things along by saying the Doctor’s name and then discourage Clara to do what she has to and has already done? cheap nonsense stakes

and the whispermen? that was the shortest mystery ever - the shortest mythology ever. just a vehicle, just a facade, just some tall white men who look scary - AGAIN

and of course - putting his hands all over the whole history with Clara, who’s barely earned her stripes - unearned exactly BECAUSE she was put in the story expressly for this purpose.

it now makes perfect sense to me that River would think the Doctor doesn’t love her at all - he never spoke to her even though he could hear her ??? they always had the psychic link but he didn’t engage because he thought it would hurt HIM too much? what a selfish asshole

they can even kiss!!! they can touch and interact. what a SCUMBAG

he wanted to leave her behind because she’s ‘just’ an echo. ok...

say goodbye like you’re going to come back? and so he says goodbye like he’s done hundreds of times before? what was different about that. bullshit

now it’s implied that River knew exactly what was all gonna happen. ‘spoilers’ their inverse timelines are no longer inverse at all - it was said they were in the library episodes but really they’re just ALL over the place

that means he could still meet the living her it never made any sense

so....why was there a tomb with his open timeline again?

there’s just something so icky about how more and more ENTANGLED every single companion becomes

Amy meets the Doctor as a child and he becomes formative to the extreme. River’s whole birth, and childhood and life is determined by his person. And now Clara, who was apparently literally born to save him, and she is ‘his’ impossible girl. that’s just not. just not very great. three strikes, you’re out...

I think Ultimate Good vs. Ultimate Evil is just a narrative device. It doesn’t mean anything. It’s overdone because it isn’t even explored. WHAT do stories really mean when they say something is evil? It’s a shorthand for something but what?

Generally it means: it intends to destroy and take away freedom and it is powerful enough to destroy and take away freedom from...us! And us is what is good. What is good?

That’s even more ill-defined. It’s everything that opposes that destructive force. It’s us. Us being able to live our lives like we feel we should be able to. What does THAT mean? In a story. Peace? A certain social hierarchy? According to certain values..?

Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, etc. etc. 

it’s not boring to go to the root of good vs. evil and be like: what do we even mean by that in this specific context?

The only author who I think truly has given a satisfying and conclusive answer to this is Terry Pratchett. Once you start treating people like things...that’s evil. It covers a lot of moral ground.

im watching the expanse and it is GOOD

it is very good

but jfc people are dying a LOT

BUT

i don’t really understand the gravity/no gravity thing right now bc like, these people seem to clearly be pulled to the ground right now lying in their seats even though there’s a glove floating around (but not moving?)

‘she’s very mean i can’t uh’

lol oh jack

the latter part of teh series would have been a lot more convincing if emma and jack had actually been shown to be as heartbroken over losing izzy as izzy was over losing them?

at least a little closer in feelings

and if there were more hugs

like even the end of the last episode does not end in them running into each other’s arms :(

somehow their attachment to her seems like an afterthought to the drama of their lives

which i despise.

are there more hugs in season 2..?

like they’re just ....nurturing a crush and izzy is in love. does she like us? does she like me?

‘we feel the same way?’ how when

at the start ya i was convinced but afterwards, not so much

SO. i put in like. three more clips and got two lines further. I THINK. that might be the key. the key is. just do little bits every day. yeah.

but now i want to do a thing where there’s lots of images in a small space and that’s gonna take a lot of work because i haven’t even got season 1.
