The laws of time are mine, and they will obey me
Never in all my life have I been so emotionally attached to a show or a character to the point where I'm physically, mentally, and emotionally affected. Honestly, my heart is broken in so many places right now, partly because of the hardening and arrogance that just happened in the Doctor's two hearts, partly because I now know we only get one more episode of Ten and he is now only a shadow of the Ten that completely changed my life. I would never have given science fiction a chance if it weren't for Doctor Who, and I honestly don't think I even would have gone to London while I was in Greece.
Okay, moments of the show that really struck me:
+ the entire last 20 minutes for gods sake
+ the Doctor's inner struggle about whether or not he should stay and help, and that heartbreaking scene where he's listening to the crew fighting for their lives and he just continues walking toward the TARDIS.
+ the fact that the Doctor finally went full-blown God complex on us. Is this RTD's way of making it easier for Ten to die? Like, is the audience suddenly supposed to hate him?? Because it won't work on me, sorry :P
+ Tarak Ital was really attractive. Not going to lie.
+ Yuri. I just really loved Yuri as a character. He is such a dork, but he showed a hint of strength by the end when he promised to take care of Mia.
+ Steffi watching her daughters (?) as the water was approaching her, and that cry she let out once the water hit her. Ugh, my heart shattered into a million pieces.
+ "The laws of time are mine, and they will obey me". Ugh! That entire scenario when he basically lost his mind. It was rebellious, heroic, insane, and completely illogical. What did he honestly think was going to happen??
+ When he saved the crew and basically got no thanks. He was actually met with repulsion from Mia, indifference from Yuri, and just... tragedy from Adelaide.
+ NO FLIRTING WITH THE COMPANIONS. OH MY GOSHHH, did anyone else notice the lack of unnecessary flirtation between the Doctor and some random hot companion?? Did anyone else REALLY enjoy it?? Because I did!
+ For some comic relief:
Adelaide: {Deadpan} State your name, rank, and intention.
Loveofmylife: The doctor. Doctor. Fun.
Lolllll ♥
And some speculation:
Was anyone else really unsettled by how nervous mortality made the Doctor? I mean, I have never seen him terrified of regenerating or dying before, but he was literally shaking after he saw the Ood. He dropped to his knees for pete's sake when he came to the conclusion that he was going to die? Also, does anyone else find it just.. I don't know, SHOCKING that his first instincts told him he was going to die? I don't know what to make of all of this, I really don't. Also, I saw some spoilery pics of the last episode and it seems that things wont be getting any better for my beloved Ten :( I mean, a couple of the photos bummed me out.
DOCTOR WHO, WHY ARE YOU SO DEPRESSING?!?!
I would have capped more but I can't really watch this episode again :9
Look at him all excited for a new adventure in his space suit. *HUGGLES*
