If Twelve doesn’t say “Hello, Sweetie” when he sees River, I’m going to find Steven Moffat and set the Vashta Nerada on him.

HE SAID IT!!

You can’t see me, can you? You look at me and you can’t see me. Do you have any idea what that’s like? …I’m right here. Standing in front of you. Please just… just see me.

day one: the doctor forgetting clara oswald was literally necessary for the show to continue because otherwise he never would have let her go. they would have destroyed the universe for each other, they would have burned time to the ground. their love for the other was so all-consuming and selfless and selfish and unwavering that the only option for moving on had to be forgetting - and not even that was truly enough, because he’s still searching for her and he’ll never stop.

— Tomorrow is promised to no-one, Doctor, but I insist upon my past. I am entitled to that. It’s mine.

This moment. This is the moment when I was sure that the Doctor remembers Clara, when he steps in his beloved TARDIS, his home. And there is no smile, no happiness for being back.  

Look at his face. No more “lost-boy” soft expression gracing his features. No more glint into his eyes. It is a hardened face. A sad expression of a man facing the emptiness of his ship. But a resoluted face nonetheless. Here is a man who knows and suffers for what he has lost, but who also knows that he needs to let her go. 

I don’t know if the Doctor was pretending the entire time before this or if his memories were triggered back by something else. That entire scene on the diner is very dubious (and that is the beauty of it, everyone are free to interpret it as them wish!) but in this moments, inside the TARDIS, IMO here he remembers her.

          Run you clever boy                           and be a Doctor

- I don’t think I could ever forget you. 

- Clara, I don’t think you're ever going to have to.

Ladies telling how it is.

What the fuck

That was a fucking stunning episode. And not just by Who standards. That was a stellar piece of television. I probably haven’t been floored by an episode since Ozymandias (Breaking Bad).

Can Rachel Talalay direct every episode please?

Can Murray Gold continue to make the score sound like Wagner’s “Tristan und Isolde”?

Can Steven Moffat, if he fucking insists on staying, always write stuff like this?

Can Peter Capaldi be the Doctor forever?

“Isn’t that right, Clara?”

a scene to re-watch

I watched Heaven Sent for the third time today and I honestly think the part where the Doctor shows his ultimate devotion for Clara, is not him hallucinating her. And it’s not him, smiling sadly at her painting (possibly having drawn it himself). It’s not him, always talking to her like she’s running just behind him, asking him questions, like they always have done. So, which one is the part I could actually feel PITY for him, because out of all this destruction, he was still thinking about her? That when he’s on the verge of dying, he’s STILL only thinking about Clara? Which one is the part I felt a punch on my throat? This.
