Watching ‘Vincent and the Doctor’.
I think this is a pretty popular episode overall. I mean, most people like it from what I’ve seen…yeah, and that includes me! So entertaining and so touching.
The Doctor: Dotted all around the universe are individual, utterly merciless -utterly abandoned - Krafayis. And what they do is… well, kill. Until they’re killed. Which they usually are because other creatures can’t see them. Van Gogh: But I can. The Doctor: Yes. And that is why we are in a unique position today, my friend. To end this reign of terror. So, feeling like painting the church today? Van Gogh: But what about the monster? The Doctor: Take my word for it. If you paint it, he will come.
Amy crying over Rory without even being aware if it…yeah, right in the feels.
The Doctor: Is this how time normally passes? Really slowly…and in the right order?! There’s one thing I can’t stand it’s an unpunctual alien attack!
The Doctor: Okay, here’s the plan. Amy, Rory— Amy: Who? The Doctor: Sorry! Um… Vincent. Amy: What? What is the plan? The Doctor: I don’t know actually. My only definite plan is that in the future I’m definitely just using this screwdriver for screwing in screws.
Ugh, the 3 of them laying on their backs looking up at the sky and seeing the night through Vincent’s eyes…stunning.
Oh and then Dr Black summing up how amazing and talented Vincent is while he stands right there, hearing the words and seeing his very own paintings surrounding him, people enjoying them - and the tears, the tears welling in his eyes. Oh. Oh, just devastating and beautiful.
Amy: So you were right. No new paintings. We didn’t make a difference at all. The Doctor: I wouldn’t say that. The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and… bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t necessarily spoil the good things or make them unimportant. And we definitely added to his pile of good things.
Well, that was unexpected.
My poor neglected blog doesn’t even know how to handle the the fact that the official Doctor Who Tumblr reblogged this (very old) text post, heh.
Apologies to new followers who will soon discover I don’t really post anymore, sorry for wasting your time people.
(This post had like 6 notes before now, hahaha)
