    That look in 7's eyes when he says "he died over a thousand years ago" - facing his enemy but still with some form of compassion. Sylvester and Jean Marsh are wonderful here, and Morgaine's reaction to Arthur's death is a very touching moment.

    "A child looks up into the sky, his eyes turn to cinders - no more tears, only ashes!" It's a shame that the scene is so awkwardly blocked and shot, as that is genuinely one of the most sincerely impactful anti-war statements I can think of.
    Fun fact: This scene was actually the one full sequence written (for the show itself) by Andrew Cartmel, who acted as the script editor but never actually wrote a story himself, until Big Finish that is.

    People like to focus on the dark, manipulative side of the Seventh Doctor, but no one seems to talk about how he's also one of the most moral Doctors. He is strongly anti-war, and always advocates for peace. I always got the sense that he also learned not to use Ace as a pawn as well, after Ghostlight and The Curse of Fenric. There is also a strong loyalty and friendship between both of them. Yes, he's the chess master who's seven steps ahead of everyone else, but he'll still always choose life over death.

Oh, and the Brigadier popping silver caps into a world-destroying demon with a handgun like a boss. I do like Morgaine as a villain though. Always have a soft-spot for antagonists with a sense of honour that aren't just farting around twirling a moustache at people.

  • @CBfrmcardiff
    @CBfrmcardiff 4 года назад +40

    Now, to be fair to all the people arguing that Dr Who has always been political... and those are *somewhat* wrong, given that Dr Who tended to pass on conventional morality to children, rather than "cutting edge" morality...
    The King Arthur "Battlefield" story brought us Brigadier Bambairah (this is how it was pronounced - I'm not sure how it was spelt), a replacement for the original Brigadier *who is both a woman, and black*. Which is almost as radical as a black woman playing Dr Who herself today, and this was over 30 years earlier. It's far more daring than a speech about how nuclear weapons are bad.
    As an 8 year old, I was suspicious at first, but actually the 2nd Brigadier was so likeable that I was quickly won over. I suppose she's now one of my favourite Dr Who memories. Had Dr Who continued she could well have been a recurring character.
    Here are two things to like about Brigadier Bambaira: firstly, she's a ballsy character, belligerent yet benign, just impatiently trying to get a job done in bewildering circumstances. She's funny, strong and highly charged. The sum of what I'm trying to say here is that she's pretty watchable (not every character is).
    The second thing about her is that she's a positive addition, rather than a replacement. The show introduces a black female commanding officer and leaves it pretty much at that. We don't dwell on it or get speeches about how it's better. The men around her don't demonstrate that males are always incompetent.
    Introducing a new, modern, female officer didn't mean that the show had turned against the Leighbridge-Stewart character, who himself came back and was given the chance to do something terribly heroic to save the world.

    This isn't the same thing at all. The Doctor is appealing to Morgaine's sense of honour, and telling her that what she is doing is dishonourable and is merely killing for the sake of killing. It's not a generic speech about being against nuclear war, even though it can apply to anyone who thinks nuclear war is the answer to anything.

      There was a short story which was a prequel called "One Fateful Knight" by Peter David. In the short story, The 8th Doctor helps deliver baby Arthur and calls himself "Merlin". However, The Doctor encounters another Time Lord calling himself Merlin and Merlin is disrupting the timeline by supplying advanced weapons to primitive cultures. After a battle between Arthur and Mordred, Arthur is shot with a crossbow by Guinevere and is killed and The Doctor arrives too late to save him and the other Merlin is caught by Morgaine. The Doctor buries Arthur in Lake Vortigern and learns a message for The 7th Doctor.

    So where are those people whining about how Chibnall has "politicized" Doctor Who? As you can see, Doctor Who has always been that way. Maybe y'all are just mad that it's not a white male being political at you, but is now a woman, a Middle Eastern lady and a black dude, as well as the white guy.
    I know, I know... "No, of course not, you feminazi!! WEEHHH!!" But think about it. Just THINK. Either you didn't know anything about Classic Who and were just speaking out of ignorance of the show's past, which is fine. However, now you know better, and you should probably STFU now. OR...you do know about Classic Who, and there's a reason why a political message only bothers you *now* when it doesn't in Classic Who. There has to be a reason.
    And you can't say it's because it was more subtle in Classic Who, because as you can see, it wasn't. At all. It was just as blatant and in-your-face as it is now. So ask yourself why it only bothers you now, but you'll excuse me if I don't hold my breath.

    @car0ndelet 4 года назад +6

    Tossing my two cents in: please don’t mistake universal messages of compassion and acceptance from Classic Who for pandering and tokenism in (some, not all of) the New Who stories. There’s a huge difference between creating stories that portray the human condition which organically represent societal ideals and slap-dashing together a barely there narrative to hit as many boxes as possible on a bingo card. Write stories about people for people, not to push a specific agenda. The moralizations will be inherent in the ways in which well-thought characters react to situations both incredible and commonplace.
