An Appreciation Post for the extras in Smith and Jones

I feel like they are the only people on Doctor Who ever to react normally to the absurd/horrifying situations they are put in

Yup.

#can i just say that i thought it was silly when people were flipping out about the doctor carrying amy #because like hello this has happened before in s3 and no one ever said anything??!?!?!?? #and besides it’s nothing to make a fuss about anyways because is he supposed to just leave her there unconscious um no thank you

you can see 10 trying to be good

but 11’s facehas a sort of hollow pain to it

My only problem was that they used it as the big promo shot, which is taking advantage of the sexist history of that imagery. I have no problem with it in the context of the episode, because yeah, what the hell else is he supposed to do? My favorite quote about it was by gypsyblue: “Basically what I’ve learned from this, is if I’m to be a strong woman, and I’m knocked out, I have to have an out of body experience and carry myself.”

#SADNESS WHERE THERE SHOULDN’T BE SADNESS #BECAUSE HE HAD A BROTHER #MAYBE A FEW #AND NOW THERE’S JUST HIM #YOU DON’T THINK ABOUT IT #WHEN HE SAYS HE HAD TO KILL HIS ENTIRE RACE #HE NOW HAS NO FAMILY #NO MUM AND DAD #NO BROTHER AND SISTERS OR SONS OR DAUGHTERS #OR GRANDCHILDREN #ALL GONE #SOMETIMES I JUST CANNOT BELIEVE HOW BRAVE HE IS #BECAUSE IF THAT WERE ME #I WOULD PROBABLY JUST HAVE CURLED UP IN THE TARDIS AND DIED

Part of me wonders if he’s just saying this to say it or if at one point he did have a brother. I have a sister I love dearly and I can’t imagine my life without her so I can’t imagine the pain he goes through. And if his brother was on Gallifrey when the Doctor killed everyone, that means he not only has the blood of his people on his hands but the blood of his family. His mother, father, brother, sister. He has to deal with that. He really is the most lonely man in the entire universe and no one, no companion or friend or anyone, knows what that’s like. No wonder he doesn’t stay in one place. He doesn’t do domestics, not because he’s the high-and-mighty Doctor, but because it’s a reminder of what he once had and literally killed. It’s too painful to do domestics when it reminds him of the family he killed. So he runs. Across the stars, across the universe, but it’s never far enough because he’s not running away from Gallifrey—he’s running away from himself. And everywhere he goes, he finds himself bringing more pain and loss and bloodshed.

#the Doctor has to be one the saddest characters I’ve ever seen #from One to Eleven he’s been carrying this around with him and I can’t even begin to imagine the pain and guilt and sorrow he’s constantly pushing against #he’s trying to outrun himself but it will never work

Well, Nine to Eleven. The Time Lords were fine and dandy in Classic Who. The Last Great Time War happened after the 1996 movie.
