Doctor Who --- 33 Days of Doctor/Rose ---- Day 7: Epic Moment
Ahh how I love being a member of a fandom where "time is relative" and therefore Day 7 of a meme can occur on what should be Day 14 XD
Anyway! On to the epic!! =D
This moment is epic for me for so many reasons. A big one of which is the theme of Rose's faith and courage. Plus she's a take-charge HBIC. PLUS SHE KILLS SATAN!!!
The theme of the Doctor's faith in Rose is very obvious in The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit -- ("I believe in her!"), after all! And to an extent Rose's faith is addressed in the two-parter as well - she wanted to stay on the planet no matter what, whether the Doctor was dead or alive because she didn't want to leave him. If that ain't love, I don't know what is, folks!!
In this scene, in a way it's easy to not think about the ramifications of what she's doing because it all worked out for the best. She shoots out the window/ unlocks Toby/ Ten saves the rocketship/ epic!hug is epic. But ... in the moment, was she really counting on that? Just like we see her risk her life on the lever for the greater good in Doomsday, here as well she is shooting a big hole in the ship that is supposed to get her little group to safety, all for the greater good of making sure Satan doesn't escape. She has no way of knowing that she's not going to die instantaneously as soon as the window is shot out - but she does it anyway. And she doesn't even bat an eye. Rose is often accused of being selfish - even by Davies, who called her "wonderfully selfish" - but this illustrates a side of her that is self-LESS in the extreme!!
Similar to Fear Her, where Rose takes charge of the episode, in this scene Rose needs to figure out the mystery of Satanic!Toby all on her own, and on the fly come up with a plan and execute it. This continues Rose's character arc of needing to become incredibly self-sufficient without the Doctor around (culminating of course in saving the timelines single-handedly in Turn Left).
And it's beautifully shot (lol pun).
And she does it with an awesome one-liner.
And her hair remains perfectly coiffed.
AND SHE KILLS SATAN!!! =D
