Because I just made myself cry a little with this.
Click to viewI love this sequence so much. It's perfect. I love the acting, I love the shots, I love the editing, I love the dialog, and god do I love the soundtrack. Such a beautiful bit of TV history.
I am filled with love for my show tonight. Doctor Who is just unique. You know how thinking about something from a scientific/analytic/academic angle can take away the magic? Not so with Doctor Who. I can take it apart, I can write meta and essays about it and discuss it in my seminars from any angle whatsoever, but it never loses the magic. I can always watch it just to see the Doctor cradling the Master in his arms, or to see Donna giving the Doctor a much-needed hug in the end of Midnight. No matter what you do, Doctor Who is just untouchable.
Yes. I will stop gushing now and go to bed. Night everyone!
