everyone seems quite averse to dying in this universe

Here is a two-minute clip from what I assume is near the beginning of The End of Time part 2. And, um. Wow, I kind of dig it. I am sure it falls apart again about two seconds after the clip ends, but in the meantime, I, um. I'm just really easy for the CGI and the costuming, all right?

I love how my Who squee is really intricately bound with actually hating most of it and wanting to salvage a few bits to create awesome. I have a page of notes and manic longfic energy to spare. Good job, self.

Heyyy, evil Time Lords. Aria, this is going to suck. :(

OKAY, BUT NO. I WILL BE OPTIMISTIC. Ohgod, I am the worst Time Lord of alllll.

But Time Lords are ... always evil. Like, screw the Master and the Rani, what about Rassilon and Omega and Borusa (which, Borusa was a fucking TRAGEDY, cos I heart him in Deadly Assassin and then in Five Doctors he goes all megalomaniacal) and &c &c? It's built into the show's premise! And even though the Doctor is sad and emo about being alone, it's mostly because he's sad about [a] that whole genocide thing and [b] now he doesn't have any authority to rail against. I LOVE EVIL TIME LORDS.

How are you the worst Time Lord of all, sir??

[feverbeats]

Yeah, but not evil as a race! It's always random ones. Ahh, I don't know, I'm just bitching. I'm actually really excited.

I am the worst Time Lord of all because the Master is my pet character and it is PATHETIC. They would so vaporize me.

Ah, okay, that is true! I mean, it's not a jump to me because enough of their leaders have been evil, and they have all been ... insular and ineffective enough in their policy of non-interference? that I think it is sensemaking. Or, at least, if Timothy Dalton/the Narrator/the President/whatever is all "GUYS I HAVE A GREAT IDEA, THIS TIME WAR STUFF IS RUBBISH SO I MOVE THAT WE END TIME ITSELF AND THEN HANG OUT FOREVER IN CONTEMPLATION BEING IMMORTAL IT'D BE AWESOME" I would buy it. I bet that's not what Rusty's doing, but MAYBE I WILL.

Ohgod, they would vaporize us together. <333

PS I am still super intrigued re: your hypothetical rageful entry about this episode!

[feverbeats]

Okay, totally true! I think I have just been watching so much old-school that I was loling at the idea of such ominous Time Lord. THEY ARE INEFFECTIVE AND WEAR SILLY HATS. :D?

I am posting it now! It ended up, uh, more whiney and over-invested than rageful!
