David’s watching Billie like a hawk, making sure that she’s okay.This is just as difficult a scene to play for him.The Doctor knows that he’s lost Rose forever and it’s his last chance to say goodbye. Billie does it exactly as, if not better than, before.The only problem was that it’s so windy her fringe falls across her face several times. But, in character, she manges to pull it to one side. Between those two takes, I’ve got enough to show everything we need. “Are you really happy? Because I can do it again.” There’s a look from David as if to say, “No way, you don’t need to.” And he’s right. I was absolutely thrilled and moved by her performance, as were the rest of the crew who were on the beach that day. There was not a dry eye in sight, and everytime I see that sequence I am still moved to tears. David’s there for her, as soon as we cut, hugging her tight.
You going my way, doll?
Is there any other way to go, daddy-o? Straight from the fridge, man.
get to know me meme: favorite female characters » Rose Tyler (Doctor Who) ↳ “The first nineteen years of my life, nothing happened. Nothing at all, not ever. And then I met a man called the Doctor. A man who could change his face. He took me away from home in his magical machine. He showed me the whole of time and space. I thought it would never end.”
in gallifreyan they don’t say “i love you” they say
you are NEVER changing my mind
she’s everything, he’s just ten✨
“fear her is boring” “[random s2 ep] doesn’t have a compelling plot” the plot.. the tenrose love story is developed into new depths every episode and you’re worried about the alien invasions..
I’m old enough to know that a longer life is not always a better one. In the end you just get tired; Tired of the struggle. Tired of losing everyone that matters to you. Tired of watching everything… turn to dust.
They leave. Because they should. Or they find someone else. And some of them— some of them forget me. I suppose in the end… they break my heart.
You don’t just give up. You don’t just let things happen. You make a stand! You say no! You have the guts to do what’s right even when everyone else just runs away.
“And how painful it must be to watch someone who looks like you, is you, to get to do all the shagging you never got to do.”
— David Tennant on Tentoo, Raleigh Wizard World Con
We’re all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?
i know some people say that it would’ve been nice if ten and rose had shared a dance in a scene somewhere in series 2 so that he could think about that in the runaway bride instead of the new earth scene where he catches rose after she returns from cassandra possessing her
but
don’t you think it’s even more romantic that, when he sees that blonde woman dancing at donna’s reception, he immediately associates that type of scene with the seemingly innocent and non-romantic aforementioned catching scene?
i mean, we know that the new earth scene is romantic as anything anyway, what with the way they look at each other and breathe out ‘hello’ . and the way his hands linger on her arms until she pulls back. and the way their lower halves are pressed together. and the way rose’s eyes flit to his lips.
but it’s still a blink-and-you-miss-it moment, in the grand scheme of things, and i think it’s absolutely beautiful that the doctor remembers such an innocuous moment, a tiny few seconds which anyone else might forget what with all those months they spent together with many more moments taking up memory-space, but the doctor remembers, because having rose in his arms for those few seconds, getting her back after looking into her eyes all day and not seeing her, is worth remembering, to him, worth treasuring for all that time
worth remembering so much that in a crowded room at christmas, full of joyous people singing and dancing, feeling like his world has been torn apart, he sees a couple dancing, swallows hard against the pain, and thinks about rose being in his arms for those precious few seconds when everything seemed simple and happy just because rose was back, and he doesn’t think he’ll ever get to experience that again
