A matter of time-Impressions of Doctor Who2005 "Strange Men" (season 1)

Haha, after watching S1 of Doctor Who2005, I started watching S2.
RTD is not good enough, but the show's enough for me. Haha.
Not every Ep is exquisite, and is restricted by the model that Doctor Who has formed over the years, but after reading it, there are still many highlights.
What is rare is that seemingly independent chapters can be connected in series at the end to tell a big story.

At the critical moment, what is pushed to the front desk is to portray love, but the point is not love. Just as the doctor kissed Rose, but no one would understand this healing kiss, or death kiss, as merely love.
As RTD said, after looking at the "Time Vortex" in the "Heart of Tardis", Rose became a "Time Goddess", with boundless power beyond life and death, she said she It is the "Bad Wolf" they have been puzzled by. She created herself, waved the seven letters on the satellite 5 into space and time, which is to spread to their time and space this season. The various places of travel.
The King of Dalek did not believe that she could destroy him and his people. She said: "I can see all of time and space, and can see each of your atoms. Now I break them down." The Daleks followed her up. His hands were wiped out. She looked at the disappearing Daleks and said: "Everything will eventually turn into dust. Everything. Everything is dying. (Everything must come to dust. All things. Everything Dies.)" When she said this, even the doctor was surprised. Looking up at her. The doctor asked her to let go of that terrible power, saying that she could not control life and death, but she said she could, repeating that she could see everything, everything now, everything once, and everything eternal.
It seems to imply that if you penetrate the secret of time, you can treat the world of life and death as nothing, and the secret of time is the secret of everything in the universe.
I'm not sure if it was Rose who said these words completely, or mixed with the voice of Tardis's heart. Many times, Tardis took them to places they didn't intend to go. For example, in the episode of "The Uneasy Dead", they wanted to go to 1860, but it was 1869. Tardis is alive. I think it really is the behind-the-scenes messenger who spread the "bad wolf" information, and it takes them to every place where the "bad wolf" information is arranged.
After listening to Rose’s words, the doctor stood up and said as if he had discovered something, "That's what I see, all the time. And doesn't it drive you mad)"?
Rose now showed her weakness, saying that that kind of power was killing her. Yes, she is just a human being, not a Time Lord like a doctor, she has seriously crossed the line in order to save the doctor. The punishment for crossing the boundary is death. The doctor had to save her in turn.
The doctor said she needed "a doctor", and he pulled her over and kissed her without hesitation. The golden substance whirled from her eyes to his eyes. The miserable music lingers.

Complicated and obscure references and intertexts are still all over the RTD TV series, except for Bad Wolf in the first season, Torchwood, Lonely God in the second season, and the secrets that Face of Boe will reveal to the doctor before his death.
I recklessly guessed that all the problems of Doctor Who, the ultimate problem is the secret of time. "Queer as Folk" 1999 (Queer as Folk) is the same. All the entanglement and letting go are out of fear of time. The mortal world’s slaughter of the knife of time has escaped to the limit, and it will become "unrequited love (unrequited love). , QAF's title, see QAF Episode 8) "Sing hymns."
"Love without return" is quoted from the words of a Doctor Who. In QAF, it means "love without beginning", so "never has to changge, never has to grow up." ,never has to die)". "Has to", had to. This is the iron law of time. Only when there is no beginning, can you escape without entering the time program, but love without beginning, or love?
What scared Stuart (the protagonist of QAF) was the death of love in addition to the aging of the body. But love is bound to die. Because in time, "everything is dying", there is no escape.
Stuart already knew the cruelty of Time Knife, and he refused to ask. If you ask in the end, maybe no one can bear the weight of time like Rose:
humans are constantly chasing time with speed, but after Rose who is with time defeats Dalek, he does not have the slightest joy of winning in his eyes. Yes, from Since she returned to Satellite 5 in the 21st century and stepped out of the Tardis spacecraft, her eyes that absorbed the time vortex turned into the same golden color as the vortex, and there were two lines of tears on her face. The secret of time brought her not joy, but infinite sadness.
The doctor who understood as much as she always smiled exaggeratedly. When she woke up, the memory was erased, she forgot what Time Vortex told her, she forgot to destroy Dalek, and she forgot to save her life. She is still the 21st century benzene girl, happily and recklessly 19 years old, traveling around time and space with a time machine and a doctor who can protect her. And the doctor always knows all that. The lonely god, the last time dominates.

Attached to the detailed information of the ten doctors, it turns out that Paul McGann also counted.
