BUT…no matter how much he might not WANT to be 'an officer', he really kind of is one.
And I'm worried that he's still not recognising that side of himself…he then carries on with "I don't need an army. I never have, because I've got them. Always them." It's a beautiful, moving sentiment that gets to the heart of Doctor Who - it's always been about the companions, really - but could also be read in a negative way
– So much YES. “I’ve got them. Always them.” An unfortunate side-effect of which is that when the Doctor does need an army, even if he may not want one, they do have to die for him. I wish I could love this line without also hearing Clara from “Kill the Moon” saying “Honestly, do you have music playing in your head when you say rubbish like that?”
The bit I liked most about the vid was the quick change from Delgado’s red-lined coat to Simm’s to Capaldi’s. Talk about a long game...
