One crowning moment of awesome: The Woman who Walked the Earth.
I will never, never forgive or get over what RTD did with this. Martha Jones, walks the earth, does all of this amazing, incredibly feat of endurance and survival and rallying the world…
…in order to get them to clap their hands three times and say “I believe in the Doctor”, so that he can turn into Christ and save them all because the Doctor! Magic! Only the Doctor can save them! All of evey thing Martha does is just to make the Doctor super-extra-magical! And he doesn’t save them by being clever or tricky or doing anything other than being super-extra-magical, and everything that Martha did, that she and her family endured, it’s all just rendered meaningless in that moment.
Yeah, I still have feelings about this, as it turns out.
Annoys me too. :/ I could deal with it though, if it actually saved the world. Unfortunately all it actually does is provide a distraction while Jack shoots up the paradox machine. So I just get angry and ignore that as hard as I can.
I sort of don’t want there to be New Series Big Finish because it means all of the annoying fangirls who are only there for the actors’ good looks will flood our awesome fandom and be irritating.
too late
in ur fandom, thinking paul mcgann is pretty
Also… how exactly would that even work? Yes, I can just imagine thousands and thousands of people listening to audio adventures to get a dose of those spectacular looks… yes, they will positively flood the Big Finish fandom, these stupid ~annoying fangirls~, who are only interested in visual aspects instead of characters and storylines… oh wait.
You absolutely are a Whovian! Whether you’ve seen one episode or you’ve been watching for your entire life, you’re a Whovian. If you’ve only seen New Who, that’s great. If you’ve seen every single episode and the movie, that’s great too.
Being a Whovian isn’t about how many episodes you’ve seen but how much you love the show. If you like Doctor Who and want to be a Whovian then congrats, you are one.
DOUBLE TROUBLE AS OSGOOD TAKES ON THE TERRIFYING ZYGONS
Cruel, heartless and shocking? Having being killed by Missy (Michelle Gomez) in the show’s series eight finale ‘Death in Heaven’, the Doctor’s biggest fan and UNIT scientist Osgood, played by Ingrid Oliver, has been brought back by Steven Moffat for Doctor Who series nine.
Steven Moffat, lead writer and Executive Producer, said:
“Osgood is back, fresh from her recent murder at the end of last series. We recently confirmed that Osgood was definitely dead and not returning – but in a show about time travel, anything can happen. The brilliant Ingrid Oliver is back in action. This time though, can the Doctor trust his number one fan?”
Speaking on set, Ingrid Oliver commented on her reappearance:
“As every actor who’s worked on Doctor Who will tell you, there’s always the secret hope you’ll get the call asking you to come back. To actually receive that call is both unexpected and brilliant. The word ‘honour’ gets banded about a lot, but it really is, it’s an honour. Especially because I was so sure Osgood was a gonner after the last series!”
The two-part episode is currently being filmed in Cardiff and is written by Peter Harness (Doctor Who – Kill the Moon, Wallander, Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell), produced by Peter Bennett and directed by Daniel Nettheim (Line of Duty, Glue).
Also joining Peter Capaldi (The Doctor) and Jenna Coleman (Clara Oswald) and confirmed for guest roles in the double episode is Jemma Redgrave, Jaye Griffiths, Cleopatra Dickens, Sasha Dickens, Abhishek Singh, Todd Kramer, Jill Winternitz, Nicholas Asbury, Jack Parker and Aidan Cook.
Thank you! Wow, does she really? What episode do we see this in? I’d love to go back and look for it since I never noticed it before.
omg, that’s one of my FAVOURITE DETAILS EVER about Amy, I’m so glad someone else spotted it. (I made a post about it once, I wonder what happened to it.)A post from two years ago!
Fandom frequently classifies Clara in s7 as flawless, characterless, or simply a generic Adorably Spunky Girl. I disagree with this description, and believe the problem lies with the observers rather than the text as given.
Exhibit A: The final gif is a moment that frequently appears in collections of funny Clara lines.
In context, the TARDIS has just explained that if she helps Clara, it will die, to which Clara responds: I don’t care.
Fandom classifies this as ‘cute’.
Also the fact that the one person that the TARDIS knows she’ll most respect is herself. That is not flawless or characterless, and is, in fact, really interesting.
