women in cages/ strongestdevohoneybeeOctober 23 2011, 20:04:29 UTC
You could easily have put up a pic of Idris in her cage... trying to see where that fits in. The image certainly does, but for her, being in a human BODY is the cage, the (wrong) box, and she's happiest when she's free, at home, and in the (proper) Tardis box. What I love about the whole Idris scene is the reversal of "who owns who?". The Doctor talks about "his" TARDIS and she reverses it to "her" Doctor, "what makes you think I would ever give you back?"
I wonder if all these cage images are a way to actually highlight how strong these women are. As if to say, "EVEN in a cage, I'm still the one you have to worry about."

Oh very much agreed. And again that's mirrored in Doctor/River. Her life is completely warped around him, yet the opposite is true too... She consistently calls him 'My Doctor' and he is - his arc this season was all about her. Take River away, and everything falls to pieces, including the Doctor.
I wonder if all these cage images are a way to actually highlight how strong these women are. As if to say, "EVEN in a cage, I'm still the one you have to worry about." Again this ties in with A Christmas Carol and Abigail who chooses to go into the box... If the women are in the boxes, then
