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.

God what I wouldn’t give for a version of TMA where Prentiss is the protagonist. Not Archivist!Prentiss because that wouldn’t work, she’s not that person
But just… More of her. Seeing things from her perspective. So much of S4 was telling us that actually, she and Jon aren’t that different. We just fear her and love Jon because he’s the narrator and we’ve grown fond of him, and she put him in danger. Jon said it best himself, “Then again, I suppose I’m hardly in the best position to judge. Perhaps to anyone listening to these tapes I sound remarkably similar to Hezekiah. Or to Manuela. Or to Jane.”
And we don’t. We don’t see that in the moment because we, the audience, have sat through countless episodes with Jon and we have become invested in not just his horror story but him himself. Even if he’s a monster, he has been humanised for us. Prentiss didn’t get that chance, too brief her chance to speak to us in her own words. It hurts on a relisten when you keep this in mind and pick up on all the little details you didn’t get the first time. She had hopes and dreams and fears and hobbies and a life before she gave in to that little part of her, that bit that sits behind your heart and says ‘It would be horrible if you did this thing. But you still have the option to do it.’. That piece of your soul that the entites prey on that was in her, and is in Jon, and is in every avatar in the show and is in pretty much everyone listening.
When you take a step back, they are the same. I think a quote from The Worms can sum it up well actually. The whole of Jon’s initial fear of her, because he does not understand that some day he will be the same as her. He is afraid of the woman who stood and knocked at Martin’s door, unaware that soon he will be the thing that stands and watches in people’s nightmares. “Poor Sam has no way to know his neighbor’s name is Richard, that he once struggled in a life as hard and desperate as his own. That his dreams of the light and painful screaming climb towards it is just as keen and grueling.”
In another world, in another context, in another story, Prentiss could be our tragic hero, succumbing to the call of that which says it loves her. If we’d just got there slightly earlier, just had a little more information, a little time to hear from her and form that bond. Jon comments on this, too, “I’ve been thinking a lot about Jane. She was the first, you know. The first I actually encountered like… like us. She seemed so… inhuman. Like everything she used to be was stripped away. … I wonder how much of her was still in there. How much did she choose to be what she was? I read her statement, she was… She was scared. I assumed she’d been possessed completely against her will, but now I’m not even sure that’s possible.”
Jon knows, now, that they’re the same. For better and worse. Knows that she was just an innocent as he is. Knows he is just as guilty as she is. That they’re the same. But he, and we, never understood her when it counted. Instead, off the bat, we were told she was scary, and horrifying and dangerous. And she was at that stage. But she wasn’t always. TMA would be a very different story if episode one started in season four, and our protagonist, our character through which we view the world, was a man working on a boat. We would fear the terrifying creature of so many eyes that dragged his secrets from him.
TMA’s framing of morality is all about context. Who do we empathise with? Who’s sins are we willing to forgive because the narrative had us form a bond with them, gave them a motivation and friends and a heart and soul that we can project our own desires and fears upon? It works so well because I love Jon. I love that character so much, I see so much of myself in him, I took my fucking middle name after him! But it does go to show that in another story, he is the monster. And in another story, we love and mourn Jane Prentiss.
this is a far too serious, unfunny comic about spock & bones playing scrabble. i made it for ME and ME ALONE
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.
