The Time Rotor

Baroness Lubinska who presided over the famous duel between Princess Pauline Metternich and the Countess Kielmannsegg in 1892, insisted that the duelists remove their clothing above their waists to avoid infection in the event that a sword pushed clothing into the wound it caused. Being a doctor, the baroness had seen many instances of septic infection in soldiers for this very reason throughout her years of medical training.

And classic is all over the place lol but i 100% agree on ‘meant what he said’ point, i cant imagine rtd writing an episode where the dr lies/ avoids telling his companion she is pregnant.

This is called “irony”.

On a family show like Doctor Who there is perhaps no way to tell a mystical pregnancy story without having to disengage from it once the shock-value on the viewer wears off, which is why it should have never been done in the first place. Shows for older audiences can deeply explore the feelings of the woman who has had her choice taken from her, who has had her baby taken from her, who has had her future ability to get pregnant taken from her and thereby mitigate the yuckiness of the trope by using it to help the viewer empathise with women who have experienced real-life versions of loss of reproductive freedom, loss of a child or infertility. That ain’t gonna happen on a show like Moffat’s Doctor Who, so they should have steered clear of the whole thing instead of using these things to entertain then tossing them aside as soon as it was time for the plot to move forward (basically the next episode).

just to add to this point. in a previous episode they established that ‘the flesh’ were living, breathing, feeling conscious beings/humans. that baby died. not only did it die it exploded all over Amy. it was so fucked up. one second shes holding her precious baby listening to strangers try to kill the people she loves, alone, terrified and just given birth to a baby she did not expect, but wants and loves and then there is warm goo all over her, effectively blood that is ‘the flesh’ baby’s. when i watched it as a 14 year old girl i did not like it, the episode was rubbish and i felt like the writers just sat in a room and went how can we shock people. it was upsetting to see a baby die. Its just the fact it was done so carelessly like ‘oh yeah and then the baby dies! great plot twist haha’ proceeded by barely any emotional implications. it was not what i was looking for from doctor who, which ive loved and watched my entire life (i shit you not approx my 3rd oldest memory is watching classic doctor who repeats) Moffat just handled it disgustingly and then after there was shit sympathy for the character. he didnt have to write that she couldnt get pregnant, i felt it was just his way of being a little fuck you to all the people who didnt like the demons run episode. the whole dalek episode was ruined by that.

“yah...”
