So beautiful. Thank you. Thank the show. It's just... gorgeous.
I still don't like the bit at the end where Clara doesn't tell the adult Doctor where they are and orders him not to try to find out (and I don't know why I have more trouble with this than with “You have to do this, and you can't ask why.” / “My life in your hands, Amelia Pond”, but I do) I think that's perfectly logical. You shouldn't know stuff like that. Much like Clara doesn't want to know how long she'll live - except the other way around. Something that formative, so old... It should be left well alone.
but you make me accept the Doctor not being intrinsically the Doctor without the Companions and the Monsters. It is FASCINATING watching the old show. You can see the bones of what it will become, but it's not there yet. It develops and grows before your eyes.
The show was there, but without your meta I was resisting it. You continue to justify the ways of the show in a way that makes what seems arbitrary inevitable once you have explained it. Thank you very much for sharing. That makes me ridiculously happy! Thank you! ♥
