The Ponds, any of them, generally adopted an ‘unstoppable force/immovable object’ strategy. (And the Doctor stopped.)
DO I DARE ASK YOU TO ELABORATE ON THE PARENTHETICAL?
The Doctor knows all about betraying those he loves, and the fact that he is honest enough to admit this is making me very happy indeed.
LOVE IS WHATEVER YOU CAN STILL BETRAY. (Also, way to punch someone in the neck with those Journey’s End/Girl Who Waited caps.)
If Danny were female, I am sure everyone would talk about how he’d been ‘fridged’ - and in a sense he has been.
But is it really “fridging” if the character is still sentient and part of the story (regardless of not being technically alive)?
But if you want people to get rid of emotions and feelings, what better tool?
I was genuinely thinking that if I were in that situation I would probably press delete. A harrowing thought.
Now, having just re-watched Deep Breath, it is easy to see how that sets up the theme - the droid using people as spare parts, people being kept in the larder ‘alive’
And come to think of it, didn’t Clara have to pretend to be a robot in that episode? HM HM HM.
(I do hope Danny will stick around.)
Now there are people complaining about how Missy/Doctor is all heteronormative
Not that I necessarily disagree, but I can’t deny I’m ECSTATIC about female!Master (Mistress). Also, keep in mind that Doctor/Master being legitimately canon NOW actually means it was ALWAYS canon?
And like I said previously - it’s beyond delightful that he’s now being accused of cosying up to the feminazis and paving the way for a female Doctor and destroying the show, since everyone knows that he hates women…
Bless. I have my own fair share of issues with Moffat, but the Tumblr Feminism surrounding this show (and positing Davies as some feminist icon) has been enough to drive me to drink.

THE NOSE KISSES.
’Two hearts, both of them yours’
There is love in the world tbh.
