Watching DW - Beast Below

[lizardbeth]

I just.

it is too late for me to be watching this show.



From "The Beast Below"
Doctor: Children cry silently because they can't stop. *looks at Amy* Any parent knows that.
Amy: Are you a parent?
Doctor: *pause* ... Hundreds of parents walking past...

THE DOCTOR DOESN'T KNOW YET ABOUT MELODY. HE CAN'T.
AND YET THAT IS EXTREMELY POINTY IN HINDSIGHT.

FUUUUU MOFFAT

and. Also.

Why does Moffat never have Eleven answer the question? He has a kid/kids in previous regenerations, right? Or were they of uncertain canonicity?

OR,

Is this theory that the cradle is for his and River's child truuuuuueee? Which doesn't make sense because he barely knows River at this point, so he would have no idea about it happening.

UNLESS because River knows his name in Forest of the Dead, he also knows that he will, at some point,in his future have a child with her? I could see that as a reveal that it's not that they marry that reveals his name, it's a child.

or else (a) this show has broken my brain, and/or (b) I just really want adorable Time Babies on the TARDIS.

I AM SO SORRY DOCTOR WHO FANDOM I KNOW THAT IS HORRID AND WRONG. I will stop.

But. But.

TIME BABIES.
TIME LORDS WHO UNDERSTAND "BABY".
Eleven and RIver being parents. Rory and Amy as grandparents (and somewhere the tardis herself just presiding over everything with a fond happy smile)

SHOOOOOOOWW.

So wrong except I suddenly want this LIKE BURNING



Please do not trip over the wacky theories on your way out.

well, yah, I know they're all dead and stuff. But that's kind of the thing -- he doesn't actually evade questions about THAT. at least not the same way. He's not "Here's a potted history of galifrey and the True Story of how it all ended" - but he's not shy about telling Amy that he was the last. And given that she already knows that, would it be that much worse to admit "yeah, I was a dad once or twice long ago"?

I mean, don't get me wrong, he's clearly squirrelly on LOTS of topics, and the loss of any child would be awful, so that's prob all it is. But it just strikes me as odd. And I am a proponent of outlandish theories that explain oddness AND will bring me Time Lord Babies. :)
