#hell bent

I always forget that Missy set the Doctor up with Clara. In terms of the master’s plans, I think it’s up there with one of the best. She was really just like “I’m going to set my ex up with this babysitter, and create a relationship so toxic it threatens reality” and that’s exactly what happened. Flawless execution. No notes.

Can we all say thank you to Peter Capaldi for every single fucking thing in Heavent Sent/Hell Bent. That shit fucked me up. I never recovered. I'm still sad about it. Banger after banger with the lines about grief. 10/10, tears streaming down my face. His delivery on those lines haunts me. Crying screaming sobbing

i love when a character is a ghost but in a tragic way instead of a scary way. i love when a character has been dead from the beginning but is still holding on to stay in the narrative. i love when a character could choose to resent the living but ends up loving them instead. i love when a character drives the story but isn’t quite there enough to be at the center of it. i love when the ghosts are the protectors instead of the ones causing the harm. i love when a character is at the heart of the story because depending on where you began it, no matter how you told it, the story is about the ghost who struggled to keep their humanity
