Madame Vastra and Jenny are married (SQUEE) and the inspiration for Sherlock Holmes (DOUBLE SQUEE), Strax is hilarious
Not sure how feel re: Clara/Oswin yet
Captain Latimer and the whole plot actually were a bit crap
though Sir Ian McKellen as the voice of some evil snow was good, but the flashes in those scenes hurt my head, I'm surprised they were allowed to broadcast it
Madame Vastra is pushed over and is therefore down for about 5 minutes yeah no
Jenny in skintight leather no
I mean yes because holy moly Miss Jenny but /no/ ladies don't have to wear leather catsuits to be badass :I
TL;DR perhaps Vic cares too much about Victorian space lesbians but we knew this
also wtf was up with all the sexual falling on the Doctor and WHY THE KISS?!
I ask that not even as a sad Doctor/Rose shipper just what was the function of it in the plot?!?!
Meli you understand me /touches face
They just need their own spin-off series NOT written by Moffat and his teamwherein they solve crimes and kick ass and their Moriarty is some badass female Maths lecturer and ugh female Moran am I dead yes I am
and Strax is just his amazing self all through the whole ting like he tackles half of Scotland Yard because he sees the Moon reflected on their hats
Oswin is played by the same girl Bucky dated at the World Fair. Thats the only thing I know.
and there's handholding and sexual tension and kisses and fancy parties and pretty clothes and I am the most done
OMG Seriously?! That's pretty cool.
She's a good actress as far as I can tell but her character is meh
Bucky dates all the women in all the fandoms lets face it.
Oooooh XDD Yeah that is pretty true!! IDK I think they're setting it up so Oswin is dotted through time so that would weirdly fit in!
XD Wonderful. The companion he has to keep chasing.
Awwwh Steve in those gifs though ;w; "Don't stand too close don't talk to her she's pretty uh d'you want a peanut just stay quiet maybe she'll like you"
Turns out in the end she was being the companion of the doctor from the future.
STALKING YOUR FUTURE COMPANION.
Exactly! So hey hot stuff fancy some Skype? kisses
Yes, get your butt online.
FOLLOWING LADIES BREATHING HEAVILY~
i don't think moffat realises that victorian space lesbians are cool enough without leather pants/swords that they aren't going to use because they're going to fall over
I kind of like Claroswin just because she told some kids that she invented fish..................
Because that would involve The Moff understanding women beyond stereotypes and sigh. Moff. Yeah that sword- beyond that episode with A Good Man Going To War And Getting Jolly Angry Then Regretting It, has she
actually used that sword???
Because that'd be awesome to see. I just want a spin-off help Kern write this with me weeps
I did like that bit of Clara. I liked her having two jobs because she could and saving kids from ice monsters and her amazing stories but then kisses?? And?? Moff why???
Also Saving the World by Crying Clara no
/holds. we're going to write this and send it to the beeb
we can have a victorian space lesbian radio show
yes the kisses and the crying and the
do we need another ~~~Special woman~~~ companion idk
we've had the most important woman in the universe and then we've had amy who was always put on a pedal stool
and now some kind of reality-warping female lazarus
I agree on that point I mean I do kind of like the fact we know she's part of the mystery but--oh my god I just laughed so hard my aunt came in to check up on me
I just maybe I'm outgrowing DW but... after Amy and River and Donna and everyone like that all I want is just a pretty normal companion who's extraordinary for the things they do and doesn't kiss the doctor
I want Jenny and Vastra fic where is the fic give me the fic
my sentiments exactly
Fall for the Doctor -> Realise he's still hung up on another lady -> save the goddamn world -> Leave him to deal with your batshit family and become an amazing agent and he comes when she calls and sdfhasklfh
and do it all with your own resources, not because you sucked energy from the TARDIS/ the doctor
or because you had a crack in your wall or something
Though Rose kind of did the whole Bad Wolf thing out of her own volition because she was saving him and she took on powers she couldn't control because she's extraordinary as a person and then she did awesome
things but before that she was just a shop girl from London and I have a soft spot for Rose because Rose
YES that's true i also miss Rose.
You know what I just miss Russell T Davies
We need batshit Unicorn and the Wasp-esque episodes more often
yeah
that a sad face or an incredulous face I can't tell :c
I really enjoyed a lot of individual Moffat eps but it just builds up... so much...
hahaha it was a nostalgic face
Aaaah goood XD Yesss that picture is so accurate!!!! Has anyone edited River, Clara and Amy's faces onto them yet??
I think one of the things that made Moffat such a great writer was the contrast between something as terrifying as the Weeping Angels or as heartbreaking as the Girl in the Fireplace and the crazy Unicorn and
the Wasp eps, the ones that were just crazy and clearly writers going "WE HAVE A SPACE SHOW LET'S WRITE ABOUT CRAZY SHIT"
kddjf was girl in the fireplace moffat? god that was my favourite
adkfaeljfhlaskdfhklashfk SAME First time DW made me cryyyy
Reintette, looking back on it, has many of the marks of a Moffat woman
But man oh man it was so good and WHY CAN'T I KEEP THE HORSE I LET YOU KEEP MICKEY
and the Doctor leaping through a mirror on horseback
and CLOCKWORK DROIDS oh man
yes hahaha team tardis + horse
I still check to see if the number of clocks equal the number of ticking noises I can hear in a room o_o
you're right, she did have the seeds of moffatness... the supernatural specialness, being able to read the doctor's mind... which they then never did again
skjhhdfd CLOCKWORK IS SCARY
did you ever read that phillip pullman book about the clockwork assassin thing
scared me to death as a kid
No I didn't! 8( It is scary but I was always slightly confused as to how wine stopped clockwork.. uh, working :I
Ugh just "my lonely angel" and oh man they had a kiss too huh
But it was ok because we hadn't seen it before
Also the Family of Blood double was Moff I think...? would have to check but that ripped my ehart out and stomped on it
yes. it seemed like a one-off.
The one with the scarecrows? I forget the general arc but the one with the fob watch and human!Doctor and Martha as his sassy maid
That one scene where John Smith is so fucking scared of being the Doctor again and Joan who is completely in love with him tells him it's going to be okay and he has to go and then he becomes the Doctor and
looks the same but doeswn't love her any more and all my weeps
With the journal of impossible things
/plays tiny violin strung with heartstrings
Nope apparently a guy called Paul Cornell wrote those but just UGH MY HEART /WEEPS ALL VOER EVERYWHERE
And she still loves him but she SUCKS IT THE HECK UP AND WRITES A GODDAMN BOOK ABOUT IT
Also the Neil Gaiman one with Idris and I ship TARDIS x Doctor so hard it hurts me sometimes but
not all things are so koala tea
YES Tardis was great
