What happened to “never do weapons”?
It’s a flexible creed. Doors, locks, walls, buildings, fair game. If it can be rebuilt, I’ll allow it.
No, no, you stopped me trying to shoot the Sniperbots before.
Did anyone else feel “yikes” about this, like it was an unflattering hint about the character’s continued genuine flaws? Which is excellent well-rounded protagonist stuff, btw.

Better yet he’s actually there and manipulating the neural balancers to keep them from seeing him
Yeah, I could definitely see that happening.
Okay I like that a lot better. I’m less sad now lol.
Thirteen is kind of… sinister?
Like everyone’s talking about how positive and lovely and wholesome she is and yeah that’s true to a point.
But there’s times when it feels so painfully forced, like she’s trying desperately to stay that way, and other times where you can see the cracks
Like… until someone yells at her she’s willing to jeopardize an entire ship full of hospital patients just to get her TARDIS back.
She not only sends Tim Shaw away with his body completely fucked up by those bombs, but she barely bats an eyelid when she finds out he didn’t end up where she wanted him to and she’d doomed him to torment; essentially causing him to become more of an ass. She’s almost pleased to find out how fucked up she left him.
The moment Graham sounds like he’s going to kill Tim she loads up on explosives and runs off to confront him alone, as if she’s willing to do what she’s done before and do everything possible to make sure Graham doesn’t do it – even if that means killing Tim Shaw herself.
Even when she finds out she could have unknowingly blown up an entire planet, she only lets it affect her for a second before she’s back to happy-go-lucky Doctor.
It’s clear at this point that her wholesome happy demeanour is at least partially a mask. There’s only so far that’s gonna go. And as someone who knows how hard it is to keep up that kind of attitude for so long, and someone who knows the consequences of it?
I’m a little terrified to see what happens if she does snap.

You see I am a super intelligent, alien being who flies through time and space…!
