The Doctor: Between you and me, in a hundred words, where do you think Van Gogh rates in the history of art?

The Curator: …to me, Van Gogh is the finest painter of them all. Certainly, the most popular, great painter of all time, the most beloved. His command of color the most magnificent. He transformed the pain of his tormented life into ecstatic beauty. Pain is easy to portray, but to use your passion and pain to portray the ecstasy and joy and magnificence of our world…no one had ever done it before. Perhaps, no one ever will again. To my mind, that strange, wild man who roamed the fields of Provence was not only the world’s greatest artist, but also one of the greatest men who ever lived.”  

Season 5 Episode 10 “Vincent and The Doctor”

When anybody asks me why I watch Doctor Who, why i’m such a fan, why they should even give this show a try, I make them watch this episode. There are so many phenomenal episodes for a show that has been on for decades, but this one pulls every heart string in the body with Vincent Van Gogh. It’s exactly why I love Doctor Who. 

one of my absolute favourite eleven episodes. and not only because bill nighy is in it.

Why I have a problem with Moffat’s portrayal of Women in Doctor Who

gallifreyfieldsforever:

I put it out there fairly often that I’m not Steven Moffat’s biggest fan, especially when it comes to his portrayal of women on Doctor Who. And this topic usually comes up on my blog every couple of weeks, so instead of having to repeat myself over and over explaining why, I’e decided to write down all the reasons why I’m not his biggest fan into a sort of big, essay-ish thing. Bearing in mind that I’ve always been a maths nerd and not a writer, here we go.

 People assume that

Matt Smith’s face

 

is a strict progression

of flowly-haired forehead

to why-helllllllo-there chin

but actually,

from a non-technical,

non-entirely-sensical,

viewpoint,

it’s more like a gloriously

big peculiar rectangle 

of d’awww-y-awww-y,

 

how-do-your-facial-muscles-even-function-in-this-imperfect-world-?-I-don’t-understand

i just realized something

there should be a version of the david tennant-shakes-fist-over-barrowman gif, where barrowman is replaced with bachmann. you know, to use whenever michelle bachmann says something stupid. yes? get on it, internet!
