// Ohhhh my god when she drew “assume her dad is dead” on the wall and claimed it was a map. Fuuuuck. </3 See those are the things Thirteen does that other doctors were never considerate enough to do.

// Kosch vc: dear please don’t sample the soil, you’re not immune to Clostridium,

Kosch vc: dear please don’t stick your head in a juggering dimensional portal in a Norwegian bedroom I like your head

//Watching it now.

This episode reminds me a looooooOOooOoOOOoOooot of Midnight, from Ten’s Era, an episode which was so fucking freaky.

// “I did God’s work in the hope that He would save me” oosh man that hits the mun hard.

this does not arouse my muse or me:

it makes us paralyzed with rage

“It must be comforting playing that role, hiding behind a title.”

Master vc: @ me next time Theta.

And then James is like “just as you hide behind Doctor”

and my mind IMMEDIATELY goes to the phone convo between Ten and Simm!Master in Sound of Drums, SOMEONE DO A GIF COMPARISON????

// HOOOOO my god the look she gives James when he says “hold your tongue or I will cut it out”

//Also can we just stop and acknowledge that Chibnall gave a WOMAN reins over the witch trials episode? Once again LET THE AFFECTED POPULATION WRITE ABOUT THE ISSUE, IT MAKES IT MORE LEGIT, MORE BELIEVABLE, MORE REAL. That’s how you do multiplicity! ❤

// “Wanna come?”
“Not really.”

Okay honestly though this is a huge new Thing in the series’s writing that I love: openly admitting that people do the right thing but not always guns blazing, totally taken by the Doctor’s inspirational speeches. Some people are still scared because they’re HUMAN. Which has the effect of making the Doctor seem more relatable too: basically good, and kind, but not some infallible larger than life parody of herself, like we’ve seen in previous eras ( the weirdly Jesusy Ten in Last of the Time Lords, for instance, or the entire unapologetic “it’s okay because he’s the Doctor” Moffat era).

// “If people are good they have nothing to fear” you fucking idiot, tragically nothing has ever been less true and you are why.
