Classic Who // New Who Parallels
if i could have your attention, please.
thanks.
cant believe they finally acknowledged him being a catboy
don’t you just LOVE it when WOMEN
LET THEM KNOW SARAH !!!!!!!!!!!
oh the female gaze.. the empowerment. this simple yet undeniable moment. the thrill of learning about feminism, to meet a soul who looks exactly like you and hear them validate every thought you’ve ever had. to be FREE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So like Katy Manning auditioned with contacts and didn't tell anyone how blind she was
But then they made her take them out, presumably because old hard contacts reflected studio lights
and I think, although I'm not 100% sure, that Katy's what really established the trope of the Doctor grabbing a companion's hand to run
and even the Master (gentleman that he was) led Jo by the arm after poor Katy supposedly ran into a tree and knocked herself out
anyway I like to headcanon that Jo was as blind as Katy, keeping her disability a secret so she wouldn't be tossed out of UNIT, but the Doctor just worked with it. He's used to his human friends having various physical limitations, so what's one more or less? He provides a steadying hand when he can, and they manage just fine.
It's part of what the Master finds baffling, although after Jo threw off his mind control he began to understand what the Doctor saw in these creatures despite their obvious deficiencies.
The War Games / The Five Doctors
Rose Tyler was so iconic…no job. no father. hopping planets wearing approximately 10 lbs of waterproof drugstore mascara. a man at home who knew full well she was getting her back blown out by debate team captain space alien David Tennant on the regular and would still hang out with her every time she deigned to grace him with her presence. She killed the Devil? what a great character
Blorbos drenched in blood!!!!
Please, come back and me haunt me
Take me in your arms and kiss me till apocalypse
