Thank You For Your Meta About That Poor Excuse Of An Episode... Can We Just Chuck It Into The Trashcan

Thank you for your meta about that poor excuse of an episode... can we just chuck it into the trashcan and replace it with The Stone Rose?

Now let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Are you trying to tell me that we’d rather replace Rose as the annoying nagging wife with Rose as the goddess statue the Doctor SCULPTED by HAND? So rather than:

“Always wait five and a half hours!”

We want 

“Rose Tyler, I’m lost without her”

Or perhaps instead of 

“You sound like your mother”

You’d want 

Mickey stood up and yelled “You should have taken better care of her!”

The Doctor shouted back “I know!”

or

“We have a date to keep”

which confirms all our beliefs that the Doctor only intended to take Rose out on dates. He didn’t want her to be impressed by the universe he wanted her to be impressed by him. 

or how

The Doctor’s anger made him a match for any man. 

Just threaten to hurt Rose and the Doctor will WRECK YOU.

or how he  HAD  TO  S A V E   H E R  and he did so by any means he could, EVEN using the SONIC SCREWDRIVER IN PUBLIC in Ancient Rome. 

or how he tried to coax the truth out of her to see if she had ever nearly married someone because he needed one more reason to slaughter Jimmy.

or how he yells at Mickey for daring to imply Rose was ordinary.

OR HOW HE PAUSES BETWEEN “MY... FRIEND”????

OR

of course he couldn’t leave

WHEN HE SEES A STATUE THAT REMINDS HIM OF ROSE?

OR WHEN ROSE MAKES HIM A POUCH FOR HIS SONIC SCREWDRIVER for NO OTHER REASON THAN BECAUSE IT WAS AN ORDINARY DAY SHE WAS IN LOVE WITH HIM?

“Happy unbirthday!”

(So we now know they 100% used to hide from one another at markets to get each other silly gifts. the doctor 100% used to sneak off to learn how to write poetry so he could leave her poems of the taste of chips or how her dungarees were very becoming on her)

OR HOW HE WAS OVERCOME WITH GRIEF AND ANGER WHEN HE LOSES HER?

MAYBE NOW IS THE RIGHT TIME TO TALK ABOUT HOW HIS SOFT LIPS PRESSED AGAINST HERS IN A KISS OF GRATITUDE AND JOY. AND WHEN HE SEES HER AGAIN, WHEN HE’S HOLDING HER STEADY IN HIS ARMS AFTER KISSING HER, SAYS “HELLO!” SOFTLY WITH SHINING EYES.

ACTUALLY LET’S INSTEAD TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT HE WENT BACK IN TIME TO HAVE MICHELANGELO TEACH HIM HOW TO SCULPT ROSE. 

“The sculptor was so enamoured by your figure”

H E  👏🏻  W A S  👏🏻  T H E  👏🏻  S C U L P T O R 👏🏻. HE SPENT MONTHS AGONISING OVER HOW HE HADN’T GOT HER PINKIE FINGER JUST RIGHT. HOW HER EARS WERE SO DIFFICULT HE HAD TO ASK MICHELANGELO TO DO THEM. HOW HE COULDNT SCULPT HER THIGHS WITHOUT WANTING TO RUN HIS FINGERS OVER THEM. HOW MANY TIMES DO WE THINK THE DOCTOR LICKED THIS STATUE LIKE HE DOES EVERYTHING ELSE. LICKED HER NECK. LICKED HER CHEST. LICKED HER JAWLINE.

and then he SIGNED his NAME in GALLIFREYAN on her statue so that a part of him - his god damn NAME at that - was forever etched into Rose Tyler?!!!!111111?!?!?11

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY OF ALL. THE ABSOLUTE BE ALL AND END ALL OF ALL CONFIRMATION THAT THE DOCTOR WAS UTTERLY AND PAINSTAKINGLY AND IRREVOCABLY IN LOVE WITH ROSE TYLER COMES FROM THE FACT THAT HE SAID, SO SOFTLY AND DISTRACTED BY HER GOD DAMN BEAUTY, 

“I was inspired”

GIRL IN THE FIREPLACE?
