More thoughts on Dr Who

3 Comments

Well, after the episode ended I went to whoisdoctorwho.co.uk, as it has down become tradition to do so. Okay, it’s being edited by Mickey. Okay, we get another Bad Wolf mention. And then there’s this, and I’ve looked all over the place to see if anyone’s discussing it, and no-one’s brought it up yet but…

I just wish I still didn’t suspect he’d brought it all to earth. Somehow.

Is it just me, or is this the biggest clue we’ve had so far? If it didn’t mean anything, it probably wouldn’t be there…it’s got to be a clue. Remember ‘he has one constant companion…death’? This sounds similar…

My strange theory is that the Bad Wolf is a curse of some kind, designed to punish the Doctor for his role in the Time War. Well, I’ll stick to that until I see evidence to the contrary, anyway. ;)

(And I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he’s lost the ability to regenerate, too. I dunno…bear in mind here that I’ve never seen the old series and thus am not entirely sure how it works. ;) )

More stuff…

The Doctor and Mickey

It really seems like there’s something going on there. I can’t shake the feeling that maybe the Doctor was testing him somehow. And now I’m wondering if ‘I wish I didn’t still suspect…’ has something to do with this- if Mickey knows something the others don’t…

The Doctor and Rose

There is just so much to think about here…

Rose leads a uninteresting life. This alien bloke with his planet gone suddenly wanders into it and invites her to come with him instead. She does. And he doesn’t want her to stay home, he won’t come to tea with Jackie, and he entices her away from tea with her mother as well. He doesn’t want to lose her, not even to people who already love her, he needs her like he’s never needed anyone before…

(Makes you wonder if they put Toxic in episode 2 for more than laughs: I’m addicted to you…etc.)

‘I could save the world and lose you.’ And he didn’t lose her. At least not yet. What’s the bet that it comes down to that- Rose or the rest of the world? What if he has to let her go? Would he? And why didn’t they come back after ten seconds? What if one of them is dead? GAH.

There’s definately a dark undercurrent to this show. Think of it from Jackie’s perspective…her daughter (and the only remaining member of her immediate family) has gone off with an alien, and she could die, and she doesn’t seem to really realize that, and she’s not back yet…and this alien almost wants to keep her away from her daughter, and her daughter might be infatuated with him…imagine in real life, if your daughter went off to travel the world with a bloke who looked at least twenty years older than her, and he couldn’t promise she’d be safe…you’d be terrified.

Actually, I’m beginning to think this a dark show with funny elements rather than a funny show with dark elements. Or maybe I should go watch it again…or something.
