pity, no stars.

betraying someone who trusts them deeply is one of the sexiest things a character can do its unparalleled. cause either the relationship is irrevocably changed and said character is completely at fault (guilt complex, hot) or it isnt and then both sides have to deal with the fact that they care about each other enough to overlook the betrayal (unceasing devotion, also hot)

so i know this is probably all ramping up to the doctor being part of the pantheon/from outside the universe, with their function being to fix, heal, and improve (“doctor”)- but they also said “where i come from, everyone goes by titles”…. not true! gallifreyan renegades & exiles went by titles, with some complicated exceptions (like drax, valeyard) -but i think it’s funny that all of these powerful mysterious new beings are going by work-related titles and the doctor isn’t the least bit suspicious like…. girl i know you can hear the non-diegetic music but can you see the foreshadowing

I can’t believe we didn’t get any actual Beatles music. RTD didn’t blow half the shows budget on Britney Spears and Tainted Love in 2005 for this

the implication that the doctor can hear non diagetic music means the fact that they can't recognise the master is even funnier. babe this mysterious stranger is not your new bestie there is a minor chord playing right now
