and the winner of most devastating parallel goes to
it took me way too long to realize why clara tells danny she’ll never say the words, “i love you” again to anybody else.
i always thought it may have just been a bit of weak writing on moffat’s part but it’s because before this moment, the words didn’t belong to danny. she’s trying to make up for what she did at the end of mummy on the orient express. she’s promising not to break his trust again - to stay emotionally faithful to him.
i don’t think it’s a coincidence that before clara refers to “all of the stuff [she] did wrong” the last three post-it notes it cuts to her looking at are,
what else was she dishonest about on the orient express besides deciding to continue traveling with doctor again?
she said “i love you” to him. not only that but while she was on the phone with danny.
and what is she doing at the beginning of dark water? she’s promising that she’ll never say the words again - while on the phone i’ll add.
i think it took me so long to come to this conclusion because i always viewed clara’s “i love you” being towards the doctor in mummy on the orient express as non-canon - yes, despite jenna coleman saying it. twice.
i’m someone who values the writers opinions rather than the actors but i realized, there’s no way it wasn’t for the doctor. why else would it cut to him after she says it? smiling no less.
and why does the official script released by the BBC not include that specific line of dialogue?
don't take many caps of niles but when i do they're glorious
SLAY! Atta girl // Audrey Hall - Air Raid Warden
— Shall we just have a cigarette on it? — Yes.
why does it look like clarence is waiting for mom and dad to get home?
So series 4 will be war-time rationing, doing their bit at home, all the while Siegfried will be harbouring his newly found feelings for Audrey and jealousy over her new relationship with Gerald. Over compensating and pretending he’s delighted for her. While he tries to convince himself that his feelings are pointless and futile. Frustration, angst and yearning. He’s going to be a mess next series and I’m here for all of it.
Darcy: beams for a second. Feels tears pulling up. Panics. Chain of throat clearing. Silence.
Bingley: starts talking to the baby stream of consciousness style. Yes, he knows the baby doesn't understand a word. It doesn't matter to him. They are gonna be so close!
Mr. Collins: tells the baby how fortunate it is to be born under the esteemed patronage of Lady Catherine de Bourgh.
Edward Ferrars: holds baby. Starts hyperventilating, too many feelings. Delicately gives back the child and power walks out of the room. Spends a full hour in the garden crying and trying to calm down.
Colonel Brandon: big smile. Sits down. Cannot take his eyes off the creature. There are tears running down his face but he makes no attempt at concealing or drying them at all.
Mr. Knightley: deep breaths. Smile. More deep breaths. He's fine. He's fine and don't you dare assume otherwise.
Mr. Elton: high fives Augusta for making the best baby in the world.
Frank Churchill: people know him too well to let him hold a baby below the age of 2. He sits by the side of the crib and tries to catch the baby's attention. He does not understand that the baby cannot do that. He loves his child anyways.
Henry Tilney: a natural at baby-holding. That's it. Everybody else go home.
Frederick Wentworth: vid. Darcy.
Edmund Bertram: stares incredulous that he and Fanny could create such a thing. Gets lost in thought. Has to be asked to give the baby back 3 times before he reacts.
thinking about them again i really don’t feel well
