My reaction to the Doctor's decision to save Ashildr. *points at icon* Yeah, you're not wrong... Like, it's 100% understandable, BUT.
My tagline for this episode on Tumblr is "That distant WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING is Jack Harkness btw". LOL. (And oh my god, please Santa Moff give us Ashildr/Jack. Or at least Ashildr AND Jack.)
I don't think Jack was exactly forgiving but they were stuck at the end of the universe and trying to save the rest of the human race. That tends to focus you somewhat. He still gave the Doctor some verbal hell for it. Well, he was also hero-worshipping the Doctor/in love. And from what I saw of the next time trailer, Ashildr relegates the Doctor to 'sidekick', whereas Jack was always grateful to tag along. But then Jack was screwed up before he found the Doctor, whereas Ashildr was very secure in her place in the world.
This episode was the opposite of the previous two: seemed very simple and yet produced a WEALTH of reflection *nods a LOT* I've been BUSY, but also just been trying to sort through stuff in my head and I only just began to get s grasp of everything now...
Lofty reminded me so much of Rory, the blacksmith with a baby... There are a lot of Rory-mirrors. Bennett was another. I like that. Men who are comfortable not being testosterone-fulled meatheads.
and of course the Doctor had to get involved once a child started crying. !!! I can't believe I didn't think of that. Of course.
