ALIEN: PARADISE LOST (Prometheus 2/Alien: Covenant) Concept Art By: Khang Le

How's snom doin?

Mystery’s over guys. Everyone go home.

We all know that the song Maiden Wine slaps, but I was wondering about what it actually means.  And then I realized— if we take a minute to consider it in the context of Kirk and Spock’s relationship, it takes on a heartbreaking significance.

It’s all full-circle with these smugass lizards :’V

Honestly everything about season four scratches the many itches in my brain. First there’s the extremely satisfying build up to the climax of the plot.

The throwaway mentions of various planets having disappeared in various episodes, and the Doctor questions it in each individual episode but never connects the disappearances until the climax.

The several nods from Donna to the bees disappearing and the Doctor once again questioning it every time it comes up but forgetting seconds later.

Donna herself being imo a perfect companion. She’s sassy, she’s funny, she matches the Doctor’s exuberant and bubbly personality. But just as much she’s soft and kind and gentle.

The way she treats the Ood in POTO, so caring and not understanding why they subject themselves to mistreatment.

And the way she cares for the Doctor. She’s so good with him when he’s hurt or upset. I have so many examples but the few on top of my head are Midnight when she slowly walks up to him all concerned and just silently hugs him after what he went through on the bus, The Poison Sky when she smacks his arm after he teleports back but then just leans against him and holds his arm silently, glad he’s okay, and my favorite, Partners In Crime when he’s panicking because he can’t save the humans and he very calmly and clearly interjects his ranting with “Doctor, what do you need?” and solved the problem.

Oh and let’s not forget that she’s a boss ass bitch. Never afraid to shove it in the Doctor’s face when he’s wrong and needs to be told. The Doctor is an easy man to let take the reins and just follow his lead but she never did. She made it clear from the start they were equal.

Oh and her immediate respect and mutual rapport with Martha? Unparalleled. Despite not being in love with the Doctor she still could’ve gotten jealous, best friends get jealous. But nope, she was just happy to meet her, gave her a warm smile, and started cracking jokes. And she noticed her engagement ring when the Doctor didn’t.

My absolute favorite part about her though is that she wasn’t in love with him. No hate to Rose and Martha, but as an ace fan it’s so relieving to have a season without the romance drama of literally every other season. Especially since she loved him just as much as they did, simply in a different way.

I mean every single episode is just gut punch after gut punch, 10/10 after 10/10 you can’t say a bad word about it. I could rant and rave for hours.

And we meet River, in such a scrumptiously complex and confusing way, that in hindsight is so fucking wonderful I can’t get enough of that two parter, and will never get enough of River or Alex’s acting in that episode.

And the big reunion in the finale with Rose’s family, Jack + Torchwood, Martha, Sarah Jane! Ooh it’s just so good. And even Davros. Like the little clips of Rose scattered throughout the season just barely out the Doctor’s reach are so fucking sexy from a writing standpoint like UGH IT MAKES MY BRAIN TICKLE like you know he’s standing right there and she’s right there and he can’t see her.

And then we finally get some Rose closure (let me tell you I will never not weep at their reunion, just that euphoria on Tennant’s face ugh), in End Of Time we get even MORE Rose closure, Mickey AND Martha closure (can I just say I’m obsessed with this pairing idea gg Russel T), Ten has a deservedly beautiful send off with the Ood singing him to sleep, and then we’re gifted with Eleven.

But honestly like season four is a solid 10/10 and the best of Ten’s era. There’s not a single episode I don’t like and it’s literally the ONLY season where I can say that.

And don’t get me started on Wilfred. That man is a gift to this show and to the Doctor and to his family. His absolute giddiness at seeing Donna in the TARDIS with the Doctor in PIC, his speech to the Doctor about taking the gun and not wanting him to die, him saying he’ll look to the stars every night for the Doctor, him stepping into the machine to save some man he’d never met, him telling that woman that never having killed a man in the army wasn’t a bad thing, his undying dedication to the Doctor no matter what because he saw all the good in him, like ugh I’m sobbing what a man

Oh and the running bits throughout the season, like people assuming the Doctor and Donna are married, and Donna constantly getting taken/disappearing and the Doctor not even noticing, her never ending use of the nickname ‘Spaceman’ for the Doctor, mostly mockingly although sometimes affectionately.

Like AHHHH TEN OUT OF TEN

heavy is the head that wears the clown wig

one of my favourite things about star trek tos is the fight scenes where the men are flagrantly NOT william shatner, like they don’t even have vaguely the same body type or hairstyle, and they just hoped we wouldn’t notice because it’s a wide shot

Okay, here's my idea:

The British should put a time limit on the Monarchy.

Not like declaring a republic tomorrow, but deciding on a date in the future that ends the British Monarchy.

And there's a perfect date for it coming up!

October 14th, 2066.

A thousand years since the Battle of Hastings. A thousand years of this one specific bloodline ruling England.

Call time on the Monarchy after exactly one thousand years. Nice, and neat.

Even better: Charles isn't living 44 years. He'll be gone in about twenty. Now William? He's what, 40? Yeah, he can live another 44 years. His great grandmother was over a hundred, his granny was 96, William can make it to 84 barring accident or assassination.

So on October 14th 2066, William the Last steps down a thousand years after William the First won the crown.

Nice, neat, and fair. William gets the crown he's been waiting forty years for already, but ten-year-old George grows up without expectation of it.

Have a nice big abdication ceremony, even.

"You are here! Stay a while!"

Something about being beckoned in from your solitude by a stranger, finding yourself somewhere that seems at first glance like a glimpse into a better version of things. Only to realize that the people are all empty echoes and remixes of others you've seen before, and the place is a trap that will draw you in and quite literally eat you alive.

Who's Norris talking to, with this one? (Assuming he's talking to anyone. Assuming there's something like choice happening in there.) Does he know that Alice will walk away as soon as he starts talking, and that Gwen will tune him out? Does he know Celia and Sam have left early? There's no one listening to him--except actually there is, because we're all here. We're all listening to this story about an invitation to a "better" time that goes immediately and horribly wrong.

"Stay a while!"

Shortly before the mics switch to a completely different story.

"Sorry for the mess, I wasn't expecting anyone..."

Probably completely different.

I'm sure it's fine.

It sure was nice to hear Gerry sound so happy.

so many ppl on tiktok will be like 'look at my epic style glow up omg my style used to be so cringe' and it just shows them wearing clothes that were in fashion in 2015 and then clothes that are in fashion now like baby that's what happens when u don't have ur own sense of style
