rabid1stOr...I can read a pony into any old shadow on the side of a building...
...if I tilt my head just right and squint.
This quote, like all the rest of them, is completely meaningless because it comes out of context and is related to the psychology of people I just don't know very well.
So, I get all excited about it...because I hope it means what I want it to mean...and yet, in the end...it probably doesn't mean anything like what I want it to mean.
Confused?
Pop under this cut for a very short, probably meaningless, pony-squeeable quote from DT...
Asked about how his run as the Doctor ends...
iF: Did it finish the way you wanted?
TENNANT: [huge smile] Oh, yeah.
Well, then...all we really need to know is what David wanted.
He certainly always seemed to be a Ten/Rose shipper...and a heroic and memorable end is always the best kind. Leave the audience uplifted and singing your praises. But he could also have layers as an actor...and be proud of a worthy death sequence. Hard to say. One thing I noted about a few San Diego interviews...David and RTD kept praising Billie...then quickly adding in Catherine Tate and others. They would go...actors the caliber of Billie...and Catherine Tate...and the rest. Making me wonder...is it just that they both love Billie and find her iconic? Or does she have some bigger part to play than a single flashback scene?
Because the one thing in S4 that seemed to really please David...was having Billie back on set and acting out those uber-romantic moments with her. Though he never mentions that directly...he does make it very clear in the video diaries. And in the confidential...where he gushes about Rose being "all he (the Doctor) wants in the universe." Oh...and when he was giving a recent interview...the interviewer suggested he must have enjoyed the Bad Wolf Bay scene...and he actually seemed very taken aback...and then said..."Well, that one was very hard to do, but yes, you are proud of the work, looking back." So...he didn't like it.

Date: 2009-08-01 01:40 am (UTC)If we do go with Time Lords back...then...we aren't completely undone from a pony perspective. The Doctor can have a reward/exile to Rose. Donna and 10.5 could be magically reset as well...because Time Lords can do that sort of thing. They might consider it cleaning up after the Doctor, fixing his messes. And every story is all fixed up in a nice Christmas bow. This allows Moffat to write a season that suits his youthful/old Doctor...because Eleven could be working off his punishment, treated as a child...we know that the Time Lords can make him look like whatever they wish.
Somewhere...I mentioned that if the Time Lords come back, River would also work as a jailer or parole officer for the Doctor. Then, the handcuff innuendo is meaningful and she knows his name to keep him in line...but gradually falls in love with him...and ends up in a virtual world. I can see Moffat mixing up wife and jailer, too. :grin:
