Doctor Who --- 33 Days of Doctor/Rose ---- Day 5: Favorite Hand-Holding Moment
Today was supposed to be "Favorite Novel." Which wouldn't be a problem except for the fact that I haven't read any of them =P So, I picked my favorite handholding moment instead, from one of the deleted scenes in Army of Ghosts.
This moment is so brilliant to me not because it's cute (which it is) or shippy (which it is) - but because they don't look like an alien and his human companion: they look like a normal couple. They look like a normal guy and girl, going to visit the mother in law. They're not running from danger, or discussing an adventure - the dialogue is soft on the DVD, but they're talking about going to pay someone a visit (ostensibly Jackie). That's pretty domestic for a guy who used to pride himself on avoiding it!
This scene, as well as the following scene, really underscore the fact that in the Tylers, Ten has found a true family. He stops by for a visit. Jackie meets them at the door and kisses both of them. He rifles through their mail. He seems pleased at the idea of meeting Rose's grandfather. He's become as "normal" an alien as he can possibly be, and as close to a boyfriend/son-in-law as he's ever going to be able to get as a Time Lord.
It's at this point in their relationship where Ten's attachment to Rose's life is the most evident. The scene at the beginning of the episode with the flying ray-pterodactyl-thingies where she tells him she's going to stay with him forever is sweet. Moments like this scene though, show just how hard Ten is holding on to the hope that she actually will.
Aaaaaand of course, it comes crashing down on his head within the next hour or so.
