I am so depressed about what is going on with Jim and Pam. I know in the last episode they hugged for a while but they’ve had these “okay it’s all better now” moments before this season and then it just got worse.

And I know it’s only because the show is ending. I’m thinking the show will end with them finally saying it’s all okay and they’ll go off in the sunset together but it’s still so painful. I just want to smush their faces together and say “stay like that forever. k?”

So I walked into the dentist this morning. My dentist asked me how my weekend was. I said “Good, I watched Captain America last night. I really liked it.” And my dentist says “Oh, my son is in that movie.” At first I thought he was joking but then I realized

Dr. Robert Evans

I looked it up

My dentist is Captain America’s dad

My doctor is JK Rowling’s husband.

JK Rowling’s husband has asked me if I am sexually active.

I am so depressed about what is going on with Jim and Pam. I know in the last episode they hugged for a while but they’ve had these “okay it’s all better now” moments before this season and then it just got worse.

And I know it’s only because the show is ending. I’m thinking the show will end with them finally saying it’s all okay and they’ll go off in the sunset together but it’s still so painful. I just want to smush their faces together and say “stay like that forever. k?”

Im mixed about it because while I think this is horrible they just need to be together forever I also think this is the most realistic situation ever on the show. This could (and most likely would) happen to anyone going in the same situation. It makes Jim and Pam more real and gives hope to anyone going through the situation that it all will get better

Yeah, I totes get that…realism and what not. But  I have this thought process “Get reality out of my TV.” Mostly we all live hard lives so I don’t need to see it on a tv show. I’m okay with some people being just happy. It’s so rare with the shows I watch so I’m super good with it ever so often.

Even before I saw it on TV I knew LDR was hard. But it makes for somewhat compelling TV (well actually the ratings are in decline and I don’t watch it live anymore) but I see why they had to do it. What else are we going to stick around for at the end? Michael is off on the sunset. No other big ships or decisions need to be made. This is smart TV. Frustrating tv but it’s smart writing.

How in the fuck did he survive this, yet the fourth Doctor fell off Jodrell Bank and thought “sod it”?

If you’re interested:

Fall injuries are weird, and a bit random. It really depends on how you land, and all sorts of other circumstances. Some people manage to literally walk away from falling off buildings with nothing worse than a sprained ankle or a broken wrist. In other cases, someone can slip and be killed instantly from falling only the length of their body.

We can see in End of Time (and in this gifset) exactly how Ten lands. His arm hits the ground first, then his leg, then his cheek (notably the part of the head where the brain isn’t). His chest/torso doesn’t touch the ground until he collapses, and he hit his face instead of his head. 

What this means is that, while he’s hurt, the parts of his body which are most badly damaged are not the vital, life-supporting parts. Essentially, either he knew exactly how to land in order to survive, or he got very lucky. Plus, we never actually get to see the extent of his injuries in full- it’s a high adrenaline situation which he spends the vast majority of sitting down. Then, immediately afterwards, he gets blasted with radiation and dies/regenerates. If he was injured in a way which would have affected him more slowly, it doesn’t get a chance to.

Also of note: The glass slowed him down in a way which may very well have been crucial. There have been IRL cases of (non time lord) people hitting power-lines or tree branches on the way down which slow their descent to the point where falls which should have been fatal result in only relatively minor injuries.

Now, transitioning to Logopolis. We don’t actually see Four fall. We see him lose his grip, then it cuts to the Master, and when we see the Doctor again he’s lying flat on his back, dying.

We don’t know exactly how he hit the ground, but given that he fell onto his back, he did not break the fall with limbs. This means that the first point of impact would have either been his back or the back of his head. What this means is that nasty fatal things like head injuries and organ damage are significantly more likely.  

There’s also the Doctor Who science of regeneration, which is a bit dodgier than real science, but also makes sense in this case. As far as we can tell, an individual dying Time Lord has some control over the speed of the regenerative process. It appears as if they can trigger it at several different points along the spectrum of ‘dying’, ranging from immediately after a critical injury/illness (including one which could be theoretically survivable with treatment), to after the point of death.

Ten does not want to regenerate. That’s where 3/4 of the emotional arc comes from. He’s also capable of holding the regeneration in. So, indeed, if he was dying from his injuries here, it’s very possible that he’d have just been holding the regeneration back completely. He was busy, and he didn’t want it to happen. Again, the radiation happens so quickly after the fact that we can’t tell what would have happened without it.

Four, on the other hand, knew he was going to regenerate and seemed to be pretty much okay with that. Unlike several other Doctors, he didn’t try to hold off his regeneration at all- he let it trigger as soon as he was injured. It’s possible he could have survived for a bit longer, but he didn’t, for some reason.

tl;dr: The science of this actually does sort of work. Fall injuries are weird, Ten was very lucky, Four wasn’t. 

I don’t know if I’ve reblogged this already so I’ll do it again just in case.

nothing wrong with finding serial killers interesting as long as you acknowledge they are fucking psychopaths and you don’t describe them as “cute”

But…but Hannibal is so adorable! And Sam and Dean Winchester? What? Those aren’t hotties? And Well I know I should fear the Doctor because he’s killed ALL the Time lords but can you describe him as anything but cute?

elementarystan: He needs to STOP! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

senpai-has-noticed-you:

sometimes i think i’m arrogant but then i remember that julius caesar was kidnapped by cicilian pirates and when they demanded a ransom of 620 kgs of silver he got mad because he thought he was worth more than that and made them raise it to 1550 kg

Reason #576 why I fuckin love Julius Caesar.
