thirteen: i lie out of a deep seated need to create distance between me and my companions, in order to ensure that i dont lose them in a tragic, unavoidable scenario of my own making
seven: i lie in order to manipulate those around me in order to keep everything entirely under my own control, so that the most possible people can survive any given scenario
one: i lie because its funny. hoo hee hoo
I like to think that Doctor Who from the Master's perspective could be called 'One Man's Quest To Get His Spouse To Come Back Home And Abandon His Massive Ant Colony'. Everything is so much funnier if you picture the Master being absolutely baffled at the Doctor defending Earth, because he's borderline immortal whilst humans die so quickly - killing a human is like stepping on a spider, and the Doctor is the guy who swoops in with a cup and paper to move the spider outside even if the decision seems nonsensical. I like to reframe the Master's attempts to take over the universe as him desperately asking the Doctor "we could get a dog? Or a cat? Or adopt? Are the ants really worth it, you have no other hobbies".
“ Find me, Doctor. Find me… ”
The thing about Rory (besides being generally great) is, he’s a nurse. and literally the first scene we see of him he is having his — extremely real and serious and legitimate! — concerns brushed off by a doctor.
…so no wonder Rory is such a good counterbalance to Amy’s near-worship in his dynamic with the Doctor.
Not only is he inoculated by experience against any tendency to glorification, he’s also probably very used to calling doctors out and being disregarded… and still trying anyway, because integrity demands it, and staying around to do his part even when nobody will listen to him, and trying again next time.
He’s exceptionally qualified to be the companion who actually recognizes and honestly calls out the Doctor’s BS, and he does it, and have I mentioned that Rory is great?!?
I couldn't imagine being an only modern Doctor Who fan. That's like so boring. The heck you mean all you're looking forward to is a shitty Christmas special? DW is releasing new stuff all the time but 💔 oughhh no DaViD tEnNaNt ooghh. Brother in christ WE GOT MISSING EPISODES FROM THE 60s BACK, A SEQUEL TO LUNGBURROW???? AND GALLIFREY AUDIOS HAVE RETURNED!! But no. No no you're waiting for the RTDisaster to return because Billie Piper may or may not be the Doctor. Y'all would NOT survive another Wilderness Era.
