Gallifrey Base is currently full of people (only a handful, but still) whining about how the recent Who episode with its anti-imperialism message was ‘preachy’ and the Doctor punching a racist in the face was “wrong because the Doctor is a pacifist!!!!!” in an episode where he states that he can’t remember the number of people he’s killed.

Doctor Who was invented by a Jewish man and woman

That woman was one of the first female producers in the history of the BBC

The original Daleks were EXPLICITLY an allegory for Nazis

How in the everloving fuck is there an entire community convinced that the Doctor/Doctor Who is their fucking UKIP fantasy?!?!

Beyond the specific context, and the specific threat, can I just say how much it hit me in the heart for the Doctor to be saying to a canonically gay woc companion “You’re safe in here. You’re safe in here, and you always will be.” It felt like that reassuring hand on the shoulder that we so rarely get irl. Sometimes I forget how not-safe I feel every day, that what feels like the norm should never be, that we deserve better.

I can’t find the right words, but that framing of that huge interior space as a place where Bill would always be safe just really resonated with me. I hope so very much that it wasn’t some sort of ironic foreshadowing, that the writers will hold true to it, because I know I am not the only one who that is going to resonate with, and I particularly want the kids watching to have that. Especially right now. Needed.

So the promo for the new doctor Who episode for next week has the last frost fair. REMEMBER THIS IMAGE FROM DEMONS RUN WHERE 11 TOOK RIVER FOR HER BIRTHDAY?!

I’m still gutted @carrionlaughing‘s River lines were cut from “Thin Ice.” I was so looking forward to a River mention ever since I heard the episode was set at the Frost Fair. I still can’t believe the TARDIS decided to take him there, of all places. River and Eleven must’ve been there like, what, the day before?

(I may or may not still be recovering from the fact that the last episode ended with an elephant at the Frost Fair because of the memory symbolism.)

I’m just sayin’, if the lines actually made it to the filming process the Beeb should include them on the boxset as a DVD/Blu-ray extra where we can collectively cry over them.

Aaaaah! What was the line?
