I miss when they used to match.
Isn't there something morbid in burying one's heart with the dead?That's a strange thing for you to say. Your capacity for loving, your joy in living, is buried in a little space of time you've forgotten. In some vague way, I still have......hope? Yes, I suppose that's it. Have you, Charles? Do you feel that there... really is someone? That someday you may find her? You may have... come so near her, may even have brushed her on the street... You might even have met her, Charles. Met her and not known her. It might be someone you know, Charles. It might... it might even be me.
RANDOM HARVEST (1942) | dir. Mervyn LeRoy
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?
Sam is so handsome
CTM hot take: Despite me being an unhinged Turnadette fangirl (it’s my favorite romance ever), I don’t actually personally find Patrick Turner/Stephen McGann to be attractive. His age especially gives me an ick…
Sam West in ACGAS, on the other hand…gimme. I don’t even care if he’s probably nearly as old.
A haunted look crosses his face. A memory impacting, sickeningly. He’s thinking about Clara’s death.
so siegfried coded 😂

[Siegfried is making pancakes]
Mrs. Hall: We just had breakfast. Why are you making pancakes?
Siegfried: For Tricki.
Mrs. Hall: Why are you making pancakes for Tricki?
Siegfried: Because he doesn't know how.

i agree with this perspective . siegfried just wanted to prove he can still “get it “. bosworth and carmody both made him think that time passes him by ,so he wanted to show ( to himself also) he has not given up on life . i don’t know if i can categorise it as a mid life crisis …but 😂
i believe he hasn’t entirely figured out his feelings for audrey ,but he s getting there . i think he knows there is an attraction,but he respects her a lot and doesn’t act on it ,he doesn’t see her as just a woman ,but much more than that .
i really respect the writers for taking their time to put together this beautiful story ,and not rushing it (although i wouldn’t mind them getting together as soon as possible)
listen i'm all for a slow burn, but at this point they should not be bringing any more 'love interests' for either one of them into the show. gerald was more than enough for that kind of storyline. adding ms gratley in is a dumb choice in my opinion.
if they want to drag out audrey and siegfried actually getting together, fine. BUT one or both of them needs to at least have the realization they have feelings for the other, and focus on them dealing with that and the tension it will cause.
the audience is starting to get impatient with this, and if nothing has been moved forward between them by the end of the christmas special, it does the show a big disservice.
