prefer the Russell T Davies era ever actually watched it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Wow a Moffat Stan choosing style over substance what a surprise.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It\u2019s not Shiny and Pretty so it\u2019s bad!1!!11!&rdquo;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>What substance?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Love and Monsters: An episode about a group of people with complex backstories (losing children to drugs, having their mother killed when they were a child) who bond over the Doctor. Manipulated and killed. Subplot about Jackie Tyler dealing with never knowing when her daughter will be home, if she ever comes home, and the shit she has to put up with because of it.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cLet me tell you something about those who get left behind. Because it\u2019s hard. And that\u2019s what you become, hard. But if there\u2019s one thing I\u2019ve learnt, it\u2019s that I will never let her down. And I\u2019ll protect them both until the end of my life. So whatever you want, I\u2019m warning you, back off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It parallels Elton (who lost his mother) and even Bridget (who lost her daughter), who got involved with LINDA as a coping mechanism for being left behind.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also got a great ending speech:<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201dyou know, when you\u2019re a kid, they tell you it\u2019s all, grow up, get a job, get married, get a house, have a kid, and that\u2019s it. But the truth is, the world is so much stranger than that. It\u2019s so much darker, and so much madder. And so much better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A message that RTDs Doctor tries to convey in almost every episode.<\/p>\n<p>Frequently dismissed by people because \u201clol monster not scary\u201d. Maybe if he was a stone angel with some pointy teeth\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Space Pig: Clearly not meant to be taken seriously. Designed to be obviously not an alien to the audience, to show the gullibility of humans and their tendency to overreact and act violently when faced with the unknown, as the soldiers did when they shot him to death when he clearly showed no threat. Also, meant as a DISTRACTION for the overreacting humans so that the real alien threat could put the world on red alert and they could get ahold of nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n<p>Scribble: A product of an emotionally disturbed child from an abusive home where her only living family member refuses to give her closure of the abusive part of her childhood.<\/p>\n<p>Slitheen: Skinned human beings and wore their pelt. Intended to use nuclear weapons to destroy the planet to sell for profit. A clear symbol for the destructiveness of corporate greed. But like \u201clol it fart and green so it bad\u201d, right?<\/p>\n<p>Lazarus: Tried to play god and delay the inevitability of aging and death. It resulted in him becoming quite literally a monster who\u2019s fears and selfishness made him disregard other\u2019s lives.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201dIt doesn\u2019t work like that. Some people live more in twenty years than others do in eighty. It\u2019s not the time that matters, it\u2019s the person.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Everything ends. That\u2019s a common theme in Davies work. He\u2019s informing us that death is inevitable but it doesn\u2019t have to be horrible if we make the most of what we have.<\/p>\n<p>Shrivelled Ten: The Master purposefully made the Doctor pathetic and weak to destroy the will of the people of earth. The Doctor is a symbol of hope, and if you weaken him then people give in to their fate.<\/p>\n<p>Max Capricorn: He planned to wipe out London just to get revenge on members of the board. His inability to let go of his anger at the board is paralleled by his inability to let go of life, hence his existence as a cyborg at 200+ years of age. but \u201clol head on wheals, right?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Master: He\u2019s completely physically unstable, because he planned his own resurrection as a means to escape the Doctor and cause the Doctor grief. His physical instability is just a visual manifestation of his emotional\/mental instability. It\u2019s symbolism Davies uses to get his point to the audience.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chloe Webber: Already addressed this a bit, but I\u2019ll continue. Chloe was being possessed by another child who she felt kinship to, because she literally had no one. She had no way to communicate to other children because of the emotional distress her father caused, and her mother also had emotional distress which caused her to not be able to communicate with Chloe about her father. The means the Isolus uses to get to Chloe is hardly relevant when you put it into the perspective of WHY she targetted Chloe.<\/p>\n<p>Tinkerten: This is admittedly a Deus Ex Machina, but it\u2019s a decently executed one, because the story arc is intended to take a backseat to character and emotional one. From a narrative perspective, Martha\u2019s journey is less about finding a solution to the Master and more about her coming in to her own person. Furthermore, the God Symbolism is used for a reason, so it can be deconstructed (as RTD tends to do), as the minute he survives, he\u2019s punished for his hubris. His self-righteousness (forgiving the master) leads to the Master deciding to leave him alone in the universe, and later leads to Martha leaving, as he caused a HUGE rift in her family life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RTD knew he was writing a kids show. He took serious stories and complex emotional arcs, and buried then under sixty feet of silly to get them accross to the young audience, as he should. Moffat, however, takes silly nonsensical stories and shallow emotional \u201carcs\u201d, changes the chronological order, ads some scary monsters and flowery speeches, and thinks himself mature.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I read somewhere that RTD\u2019s Doctor Who was a serious show pretending to be silly, and Moffat\u2019s was a silly show pretending to be serious, and I think this all explains it well, and you\u2019re a perfect example of the people who buy into it.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now, tell me again why I shouldn\u2019t prefer RTD to Moffat?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><small>\u00a0#<a href=\"http:\/\/pouahhh.tumblr.com\/tagged\/I%20will%20reblog%20it%20anytime%20it's%20on%20my%20dash\" target=\"_blank\">I WILL REBLOG IT ANYTIME IT\u2019S ON MY DASH<\/a>\u00a0#<a href=\"http:\/\/pouahhh.tumblr.com\/tagged\/because%20you%20shut%20up%20with%20your%20critics\" target=\"_blank\">BECAUSE YOU SHUT UP WITH YOUR CRITICS<\/a>\u00a0#<a href=\"http:\/\/pouahhh.tumblr.com\/tagged\/go%20and%20love%20your%20moffat%20and%20his%20special%20effects%20with%20no%20sense\" target=\"_blank\">GO AND LOVE YOUR MOFFAT AND HIS SPECIAL EFFECTS WITH NO SENSE<\/a>\u00a0#<a href=\"http:\/\/pouahhh.tumblr.com\/tagged\/and%20I%20prefer%20the%20plot%20and%20emotions%20and%20feels%20and%20GREAT%20ACTORS%20and%20good%20script\" target=\"_blank\">AND I PREFER THE PLOT AND EMOTIONS AND FEELS AND GREAT ACTORS AND GOOD SCRIPT<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>PREACH<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>cottognapple: pouahhh: the-wolf-in-the-police-box: moffatlove: the-wolf-in-the-police-box: moffatlove: I sometimes wonder if people who prefer the Russell T Davies era ever actually watched it.
