Translated from Tumblr user Bellewatchesdoctor-who (no authorization for the time being, she will add it when she returns to me)

The original title is: Belle analyzes the fourth episode of the second season of Doctor Who, the Fireplace Girl, and said that you must stop writing the rose as a jealous girlfriend Part2

Friendly reminder from the translator: This analysis is mixed with a lot of disgust and hatred of magic, as well as violent and cursing clips, but overall, I think the po owner's analysis is sharp and well-informed. This translation also contains a lot of translator's private goods, please resist the urge to hit me, thank you.

TAKE THAT MOFFAT I BLOODY HATE U

-------------------------------------------------- --------------

text:

This used to be my favorite episode of Doctor Who. I mean, I love Fireplace Girl 100% more than other episodes. I used to think that this thing was clever and profound, the characters were beautiful and the ending made me sad. Compared with other episodes, this episode aroused my love for history and guided the choice of historical figures I want to learn about.

Then I grew up. Suddenly this episode is no longer interesting. It is disgusting and disrespectful, and it also represents many of the writing characteristics of the magic-specific problems that have been intensified since the fifth season.

(The next paragraph is an explanation of the author's Anti-Moffat anti-magical stance, I am too lazy to turn it over)

This episode began in the Palace of Versailles. From the palace we can hear screams and see people in gorgeous clothes and white wigs running around in the corridors while the broken clock is staring at us.

A blonde woman in a super gorgeous dress is being drawn closer by someone who is clearly a king (although we shouldn’t know that he is a king yet), and in an atmosphere of screaming and horror, we have gotten a little bit about this A "good" foreboding of how the rally will develop.

The blond woman who refused to leave with Louis XV was obviously frightened by the broken clock. The king told her they had to run away, and she just stared at the clock, and Louis XV had no idea what she was doing.

Reinette: Listen to me. A man will come to Versailles. He took care of me all my life, and he won't let me down tonight.

Louis XV: What are you talking about? What man?

Reinette: The only man who can save us, the love of my life.

Okay, no matter what happens next, look at this moment first. The first thing we know about Reinette is that she is deeply in love with this man who has taken care of her life (sounds not very good, right? I promise everything will become more scary), we still don’t know her Name, we don’t know who she is, we don’t know what year it is, and we don’t know what the hell happened, but! we know! She loves her mysterious man deeply!

At this moment, this is the only important feature of her role.

If you hope that Mo Magic will take a good look at her character traits next, oh, you will be disappointed.

Reinette told poor Louis to find his queen (after all, she was just his mistress), and then squatted down and shouted at her fireplace:

"Are you there! Can you hear me! I need you! You promised. That clock is broken! It's time! Doctor! Doctor!"

After this short scene, we learned two things about Reinette:

One: She loves Dr.-a man who apparently WATCHING OVER her whole life from childhood (Do I really need to explain why this sounds scary and disgusting??)

Two: She is the mistress of the king

I point this out because we don’t know Reinette’s name yet, we don’t know who she is, internally or externally, but we can define her in two relationships, two separate ones, with two Powerfuls. Powerful/powerful man relationship.

I point this out because for me, it is really misogynistic.

In addition, because I promised myself that I will try to find the positive points in 204 (as long as I can find them), I will point them out. So starting this episode with an atmosphere of screaming and panic is a good way to attract the audience.

Great, there is at least one point worthy of praise in this episode, which is damn good.

In any case, the next episode jumped directly to three thousand years later, when the TARDIS landed in a spacecraft floating in space.

You may remember that the last episode ended when Mickey joined the Tardis squad. He was very excited, and Rose was a little bit...well...not happy? anger? Anyway, her sentiment about this is not very positive. Two aspects of her life suddenly mingled together, and Rose was not ready to face it. So it stands to reason that we should see the confrontation between Mickey and Rose, and an explanation of how their relationship will develop.

Oh. Forget it. no. NOPE.

Everything is fine between them. All the negative emotions are gone and we are ready for an episode of Doctor Who who is completely focused on the only important thing.

I mean this stupid donkey↓

And the love life of this stupid donkey. many. What. bright. Show.

Mickey was excited about landing on a spaceship, and the doctor announced that they were in the fifty-first century (one of Magic's favorite century), and at this point alone, I have to complain.

About ten seconds ago, a message on the screen told us that we moved back three thousand years to the timeline of Reinette shouting into the fireplace, and from the fact that Reinette was 37 years old at the time we later learned from the series, and Pompadour Madam was born in 1721, in terms of historical facts, we should have been in 4758. (4759 is more accurate because Madame Pompadour was born on the 29th of December 1721)

This is not the fucking fifty-first century.

This is at least 241 years after the fifty-first century.

Can you miscalculate this kind of thing? ? ?

This is not even a question of building a world view, it is basic arithmetic. The solution to this problem is very simple. They only need to delete one of the messages three thousand years later or the lines that you said was the 51st century? ? ?

It doesn't matter to him.

WHATEVER.

Next is the doctor's line about why this ship has so much energy and why it doesn't move.

At this time Rose was more interested in finding out where the crew had gone, Mickey said that he smelled barbecue.

Then the doctor opened a door behind them, Voila, the fireplace.

If I must praise anything in this episode (I admit that there are still good things in this episode), then the first thing I praise is that this episode shows a good contrast between the past and the future.

In most of Doctor Who's episodes, the difference between the history episode and the future episode is very big, and this episode breaks this pattern and blends the past and the future very well. I like this effect.

Anyway

Because the fireplace was obviously strange, the Tardis team rushed in to investigate, and the doctor concluded that it was a French fireplace in the 18th century and that it was a room on the other side.

Then the doctor saw Reinette in the bedroom of Paris, 1727.

Reinette↓

A little girl between five and six years old.

A five-year-old girl. In her bedroom, talking to a strange man. Half. night. three. Even.

Of course, we know that the doctor is a good person, and we know that he gets along well with his children, and he certainly does not do anything disgusting. But you can't deny that this mode of meeting potential future lovers (this mode continues in Amy, Clara and River, who wrote them, oh.) is a damn mistake. If this man is not a PhD, but an unfamiliar adult male character-is it healthy or not strange? ? ?

(The original po then elaborated on the plot development)

The doctor successfully turned the fireplace around and turned himself to the other side of the fireplace. At the same time, Mickey and Rose were thrown on the ship, and this was only the first time in 204 that they deliberately ignored them with extreme malice.

But before we thought about whether the doctor should leave them behind, we were "very happy" again to witness the doctor, in the middle of the night, in the bedroom of a little girl. again.

Reinette was sleeping curled up, and the doctor looked out the window to admire the beauty of France. After a while, Reinette woke up, frightened by the mysterious strange man in the bedroom. Of course she would be frightened.

Doctor: "It's okay, don't scream, it's me. It's the manteler. Hey, we talked just now, I'm in your fireplace."

Any part of this line, as long as it is placed outside DW, is extremely inappropriate and unacceptable.

(Translator Sui Sui Nian: This line is really casually placed on a pervert who abducts a little girl, it does not violate harmony, magic, you are sick, right)

Reinette: Sir, that was a few weeks ago.

Thank you Reinette for confirming that she is still the most, six years old.

So a six-year-old girl. In her bedroom. With a man she knew for thirty seconds. Half. night. three. Even.

Help, I really feel very uncomfortable with this.

(Next, the original po explained the plot of the clock where the doctor found the bad belt)

Okay, two things.

One: How do you know there is only this clock in this room? ? ? You just come to someone's bedroom, twelve seconds.

Two: This is exactly the same as the scene of the tape recorder in the episode of "Dancing Doctors" (World War II background, the episode with gas masks)! Except for a doctorate and no companions. I'm not saying that magic is lacking in new ideas, but... (I can't finish this sentence with a serious face ha ha ha ha ha)

Alas, I liked this scene when I watched this episode for the first time, but I will never be able to face it again in the future.

(The original po then elaborated on the plot of the robot appearing, I didn’t bother to read it)

Oh, the camera went back to the spaceship, Rose and Mickey didn't seem to move at all (...)

What I like about this episode: Clock Robot is a great villain. Their precise procedures lead to their behavior without any emotional factors, which is a great sci-fi setting.

At this time Rose wanted to know what these robots were, but the doctor "ordered" her not to run around and ran back to Reinette's room by herself.

Rose felt unhappy about being left behind (again), so she took the weapon and went to explore the spaceship with Mickey.

On the other side, the doctor met Reinette who had grown up.

Oh, would I say that he scanned Reinette from start to finish and looked surprised and speechless? I would also like to say that the timeline here should be before Re got married, that is, she is 19 years old. That's right. The age of the rose.

Reinette: And you don't seem to be getting old at all, which is really rude.

Doctor: Oh. Yes, sorry, very happy to meet you again, but I'd better leave. Right? You can't let your mother find out that you are alone with a strange man.

Re: strange? How can you be a strange man to me? I have known you since I was seven.

No, you fucking not. First of all, the first time you saw him was five years old. Second, the time you have seen him add up to five minutes, and in general, before that, you thought he was a product of your own fantasy.

My goodness, Reinette is Amy's prototype draft setting.

Reinette realized that they didn't seem to have time for a normal conversation, so she automatically reduced to another type of communication:

STOP THAT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

No, no, help, I won’t buy it, please, please, stop ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

I declare formally and solemnly that this is a fucking mistake.

It has been more than ten years since Re saw the doctor last time. For the doctor (and for our audience), to be precise, one minute and thirty-seven seconds have passed. To be more precise, it was one minute and thirty-five seconds before she kissed him and he kissed back. This is frightening and vomiting.

My problem with Ph.Ds who always encounter potential love partners of PhDs in childhood is that they are defined as potential love partners as soon as they appear on the scene, and it takes a lot of time for us to see them transforming from little girls to adult women. A few seconds. In fact, the adult female version of them is always described as sexually attractive, and these characters were children a few seconds ago. This is too bad.

This is damn disgusting.

And damn uncomfortable.

This is definitely not one of the things Doctor Who should show to its audience (including a large number of children and teenagers).

I'm not saying that the doctor is a pervert. I'm not saying that Re or Amy should tell him to leave. I mean, in this situation, when the Doctor is around them, Magical makes them lose the ability to think calmly and independently, and this puts the Doctor on a high ground of power where he shouldn't be.

Grass, I'm so angry about that.

Then Re left, and the servant's words made the doctor realize who Re was.

So there is the line that I vomit every time I hear:

Doctor: I am a doctor! I just kissed (arched) Madame Pompadour! ! !

Four minutes ago, she was a little girl, what are you doing? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Then he returned to the boat and found the horse, actually angry because Rose and Mickey didn’t stay where they were (this episode really portrays them like a doctor’s servant), then Rose Mickey spotted the human eye camera And the heart engine.

Then the doctor turned back to Versailles.

He did not approach Re, but chose to act like this when Re and her friend were talking about the death of Louis XV’s current mistress ↓

He stood far away, watching a scene where he was not invited to join.

Of course, many people will say that I made a fuss and overcorrected, but in fact this is the scene that led me to revisit an episode I once loved so much.

I once had an appointment with a guy who I occasionally found him staring at me from a distance. That was the last stage of my high school. When I was chatting with my friends, I would find him staring at me in the distance. Even if he realized that I found him, he would not come over to say hello, but just continue to stare at me. , Until I look in other directions or leave directly.

My feeling about this is that he is letting himself into my own life compulsively without inviting him to join. This made me feel that I was his consumable (this feeling became stronger when I chose to cut off contact with him), and I felt assaulted and uncomfortable in school. Although I would not call this the behavior of a stalker, in fact it is not much different from the behavior of a stalker.

But here, the doctor's behavior is no different from that of the boy.

As a time traveler, the doctor can participate in any period of history. He was observing the moment when the deeds of the great men really happened. I have no opinion on that, because it can be said that this is like an act of academic interest. The doctor loves history. He loves stories. He is not invading their private lives.

But here, he and Re have a personal and extremely inappropriate relationship. This is not a time traveler observing history, but a man spying on his girlfriend "to some extent", and whenever she looks back, she hides.

This is disgusting and I really can't accept it.

Then the doctor returned to the ship and met Rose and Mickey again.

M: Why is there a horse on this spaceship?

Doctor: Mickey, why is there France on the eve of the revolution on a spaceship? Be a little observant.

This is the problem with Magic DW. He hides the problematic plot behind the "funny and witty" lines that pop up from time to time, and then the audience will begin to praise one of DW's scariest screenwriters.

He is really a little clever ghost . We will say that before we have time to think about whether there is something wrong with the scene just now, we will be led away again, thinking, oh this time the villain is too scary. What happened?

In this way, Magic escaped the sanctions of the audience. I'm so damn enough.

At this time, we watched Re approaching the king with the Tardis team, approaching the king for the first time, and seeing this man she will spend her life with for the first time. (Reconfirm her age. At this time, she is 23 years old. Please note that the king fell in love with her without seeing her when she was a child.)

I, again, protested against the next scene. (That's the shot of Re finishing her skirt in the mirror), except for me, really no one thinks that the Tardis team can watch her private behavior casually, and this setting is unacceptable for her to wander around in her life? ? ?

Even the doctor used the word STALKING to describe the crossing gates everywhere on this ship.

However, he himself has no guilt about using these doors to enter and exit Re's life at will. Run into her childhood and haunt me and me with her grown-ups.

WOW.

Rose wants to know who Re is:

Doctor: Jeanne Antoinette Pusen, friends call her Reinette. One of the most accomplished women in history.

Nonsense.

I mean, Re is really great, she does have a lot of great deeds. But this is the doctor talking. He is a 900-year-old time traveler. He has seen so many wonders, and so many great and accomplished women. Those women we don't know or have not yet born. Then when he knew that Re was Madame Pompadour, he listed the six achievements of Re: actor, artist, musician, dancer, socialite, and excellent gardener!

Who the hell cares about this? ? ?

He didn't even cite the reasons why Madame Pompadour was truly famous in history.

Without Madame Pompadour, the important encyclopedias of the Enlightenment period would most likely not exist. Many years before she met Louis XV, she was already an informal member of the Entresol Club (a club dominated by men, including a large number of pioneer thinkers from the Enlightenment era.) She was a friend of Voltaire. She was powerful enough to intervene in the signing of the Versailles Treaty (making long-time rivals France and Austria allies).

In the position of her chief mistress, she holds great power and uses it very well. Even fourteen years after her sexual relationship with the king ended, she still kept her position.

Reinette is great. And she is very smart. She was shackled by the society at the time, but she still set off a huge wave.

But to be honest, she can't rank high among so many outstanding women in history.

Anyway, at the ball where Reinette met the king, she actually dressed up as a shepherdess instead of, uh, this way↓

(Doesn't they really make people nauseous to watch a woman's private moments like this??)

Rose: The queen must love her to death. (Of course she is telling the truth)

Doctor: Their relationship is indeed very good.

Another historical error, what the hell is going on in this episode.

Queen, Marie Leszczynska, compared to the attitude of the former mistress of the king, indeed of Re fine, her exact words were: If you must have a mistress, when it was her. In fact, she certainly doesn't like her husband having a mistress. In 1756, when someone suggested that Re be the queen’s waitress, Mary refused. The only reason their relationship is good is that Reinette is really serious about managing the relationship with the queen compared to other mistresses.

Returning to the plot, the robot reappeared, and the Tardis team rushed in to save the people (at the same time Re completely ignored Rose and Mickey). Then ask the robot questions.

Rose-God bless her-began to ask questions that were obvious but no one asked for some reason

Rose: Why is she? You have a whole history to choose, why did you choose her?

When Rose started talking about her, Re still ignored Rose and Mickey. Wow someone wants to tell me she didn't mean it.

Then the robot said that because they are the same as Re (I started to hope that the plot would turn into the fact that Mrs. Pompadour is a robot to stop this shit love story.)

Then Re angrily asked the robot to get out.

Why don't you just order them to cancel the task? They listen to you more.

Then the doctor enters the action mode and asks Rose and Mickey to return to the ship to observe the robot Balabara.

Okay, do you remember the previous section where the doctor discovered that the robot was compulsively scanning Re's brain when he was six years old?

Next, Magic Special will put this kind of rape in a bowl, sprinkle the devil's chili powder called Romance for you to eat.

Reinette: Fireplaceman, you are in my mind. -----------

Doctor: Oh, dear Rene, what are all the whimsical ideas in your mind----------

etc. Wait. Wait. First put the dog blood eight o'clock gear here, we turned our attention back to Rose and Mickey.

They were spinning around in the dark spaceship, and Mickey began to tell some unpleasant truths.

Mickey: So, the doctor, eh?

Rose; what are you talking about

M: Oh. Madame Pompadour. Sarah Jane. Cleopatra.

Rose: Cleopatra, he mentioned her once.

Mickey: Yes, once, but he was called a nickname.

This is exactly what I want to say.

Cleopatra is another great woman in history (in my impression, it seems more qualified to be called "one of the most accomplished women in history" than Reinette), and then in this episode, the only role It is an example of Ph.D.'s tireless pursuit of powerful historical female figures.

We have seen this situation over and over again in the series of Magic Special, Egyptian Queen Nefertiti, Queen Elizabeth I, and Marilyn Monroe, as well as Madame Pompadour and Cleopatra in this episode.

These are real women. Real, powerful, and memorable women. In Mata's writing, they always like to flirt with the doctor and are keen to kiss him strongly.

I hate this kind of routine.

The only historical man who has flirted with the doctor in all historical dramas is Shakespeare, and flirting with women has almost become a joke. The doctor did not force every great woman in history to lift up her skirt for him. Be respectful. thanks.

ANYWAY, Rose and Mickey were knocked out by the robot at this time, let us return to the doctor and his current romantic partner.

At this time, the doctor seemed to respect privacy very much. "Imagine a door and I can't see the things you don't want me to see." He figured out what the robot wanted. Then! ! ! ! ! ! !

Re: Ah, how lonely. What a lonely boy. How did you endure it?

Remember the discomfort that Re himself felt before being scanned by the robot's brain? Voila, now she is assaulting others.

I am not annoyed at the inexplicable and illogical setting that Re suddenly acquired the ability to read the brain of a time lord.

What I am really annoyed is that Re herself felt uncomfortable and scared when she was forced to read her mind, and now she is doing the same thing to others, with the name "Oh My Lonely Angel", expecting the audience to regard it as a romance.

Of course, after all, there is a very romantic soundtrack written by Murray Gold in the background. I CAN ALMOST CRY.

Do you know what happened next?

They left the room holding hands and went dancing.

Most importantly, this was the night Re and the king met for the first time. This was the foundation for her to obtain all the power that followed.

As a doctor, judging from a normal doctoral persona, he would never take the risk of changing history and dance with her.

WHATEVER.

Back on the spaceship, Rose and Mickey were tied up, and were to be unloaded by the robot.

Wait, didn't the robot just say that only one part of re is missing? What did they cut the roses and Mickey for? ? ? ? It was illogical again.

Rose screamed at the doctor's name, of course, he was dancing, and there would be ghosts if he could hear it.

After a while, the doctor came in, Rose satirized him, and the doctor said that she sounded like her mother.

Before that, we had already seen some conversation fragments between the Doctor and Rose that were similar to family quarrels. When he named the horse Arthur, she mocked him. When he caused Rose and Mickey to be arrested, he said that she sounded like her mother (remember the doctor's attitude towards Jackie at this time?). Their conversations sounded like annoying family quarrels, and like every couple who established a relationship in MoMa’s works, their love for each other was replaced with endless humiliation and cold violence from time to time (also between Doctor and River. so)

The reason for this is obviously because Rose was placed in the role of an annoying "wife of chaff" by magic. Of course, it’s not a wife in the literal sense (Magic didn’t like Rose at all to write any romantic plots for Dao Mei, or a slight expression of affection). In this episode, she went to adventure as a doctor. The "wife" who stayed at home and waited, the "wife" who ridiculed the doctor and ruined the doctor's interest.

And all of this is because magic is not waiting to see roses.

Stephen Magic, once commented on Reinette:

"How good she is with the doctor. She is surprisingly well-educated and surprisingly well-educated. In general, you know, if the doctor settles down one day, get married and have children, she will be with such a girl."

You can be choked to death by the elitism soaked in this passage, but the point of Magic is that the ideal type of the doctor’s lover is Reinette. In fact, I want to say that this is more like Magic’s own ideal type rather than Doctor's.

Because the doctor will fall in love with an 18th century socialite idea, in fact, it's just shit.

The doctor has always been an activist. The opposite of a solid power structure, an anarchism of personal power, shuttles through the universe, tearing apart the stereotypes, and leaving planets in the awakening he aroused. He was never a knight in shiny armor, nor a romantic hero. If his ideal type is elegant and restrained, then the people he chooses to deal with will be very different.

He doesn't care about your education level, or your class and education. He respects those who stand up for the right cause, those who struggle for a better self and a better world. He is looking for the qualities of bravery, kindness and perseverance.

However, Stephen Magic, blinded by his elitism, chose to ignore this basic personality.

The entire second season of DW is actually a love story between Dao Mei, telling how they overcome all kinds of difficulties and dangers that separate them, but 204 is not in this part, because Magic does not believe that the doctor will really fall in love with Rose. , A girl with no background and so-called "achievement".

So he wrote the interaction between Dao Mei as a hostile family relationship.

Do you want family sex between Dao Mei? Look at the episode of Satan’s Pit, when Dao Mei is thinking about the bridge of the possibility of real family life, and then look at the new earth, when they mention their first date, look at the episode of werewolves and the TV’s sucking faces The beginning of that episode.

So don't believe in the nonsense of Magic Special, Rose has never been the "wife of the chaff", and Reinette has never been the ideal type of Doctor.

ANYWAY, let's take a look at this doctor who seems to be drunk.

Speaking of his banana cocktail, no matter how scared Rose was hanging a knife around her neck.

ANYWAY, the doctor rescued them, and then the robot ran away again.

Then Rose ran to explain the situation to Re.

At this time, many people listened to the famous line with tearful eyes and moving heaven and earth: One person can bear the demons of the whole world for an angel.

What did the roses say? She said to her mother at the time: " That's a better life. I'm not talking about those trips. Those are actually not important. The doctor showed me a better way to live this life. That is. It’s just that you don’t give up. You don’t let these bad things happen, you take action, you say the'no.' When everyone runs away, you have the courage to do the right thing. "

Rose is not "enduring the devil". Yes, she loves Dr. She not only loves him, but also those monsters, those running and endless journeys.

At this point alone, she is a better fellow doctor than Re.

Come and continue.

The story progressed to the night at the beginning, and then the doctor rushed in on a white horse.

When he flirted with Re in front of the king, Rose looked at the shattered window of time in shock. Without a PhD, they were forced to be trapped three thousand years after their time.

Then the doctor defeated the robot. Then he and Reinette started looking at the stars. Then they started their shit conversation about "the name doesn't mean anything".

But in fact, without the title of Madame Pompadour, Re has no power. And the name Doctor symbolizes the person he used to be and the person he wants to be. So, what does the name really mean.

Then it started again. There is no logical plot to remedy Mofat. Why on earth is the fireplace in the bedroom still usable? ? ? ? ? Physical link? ? Are you serious? ? ?

WHATEVER.

Then the doctor began to invite her to the TARDIS.

Who will tell me what she did to become a qualified TARDIS companion? ? ? Rose saved the doctor. Mickey saved the world. Martha rescued the doctor and someone in a hospital. Donna exposed the doctor's weakness and awakened his benevolent side.

But Re basically followed the doctor's instructions (similar to Sally in the crying angel).

So the only reason to take her on board is "want to see the stars"

Remember what happened to the last companion Tardis who got on the ship because he wanted to see the stars?

Yes, ADAM, I'm talking about you.

So the doctor hurried back to the boat, symbolically hugged the roses, drove them back to Tardis, and then hurried back to find re.

Then Re died, and then Louis XV sadly and oocly talked about her to the doctor.

First, go to your magic special.

Louis XV would never talk of Madame Pompadour in this way. He likes her, he takes care of her daughter, and he respects her political opinions, so he will not regard her as a woman with excess emotions who cannot let go.

Madame Pompadour had two children (a son who died in the womb and a daughter who died at the age of nine). And Mochat didn't mention the trauma she experienced as a mother at all.

Do you know why?

When magic features heroines, he only regards them as women of two identities: mothers, or potential romantic partners. Nancy (the young lady in the gas mask episode) is a mother. River is the object of love. The only time he wrote Donna, he gave her two fantasy children. Amy was also a potential love partner until she chose Rory, and then her emotions only centered on Melody and her fertility.

Very, very rare, he wrote that Sally is neither a mother nor a potential love partner. But he has never written about a female character who is both a mother and a romantic relationship.

Re, in reality, is a mother who was written by him as the love object of the doctor. Because she can't be both at the same time. And such an important part of self-identity is completely ignored by Magic.

This really bothers me.

Seriously, both Re and Doctor have lost children. This can at least become their previous emotional connection point, rather than a highly educated and educated Balabala.

WHATEVER.

Then Louis XV said that Madame Pompadour had died at the age of 43.

She died at the age of 42. But of course, the requirements for historical accuracy are too much of an overestimation of magic.

Then Louis gave the doctor the letter, and the doctor stumbled back to Tardis, looking heartbroken. I'm serious, if you love her so much, why don't you bring her here for the first time? ? ?

Oh, this is also the first time that Magic has written about the death of a character. It doesn't count. He wrote it dead just because he couldn't change history.

Then we saw that the spacecraft was named Madame Pompadour.

Oh my god. This episode
