once again the satan pit is wild bc they hear the actual devil tell them with confidence that rose is going to die in battle which is quite honestly something they could have seen coming for a while now but the doctor looks her in the eyes and is like No you won’t because i love you and she's like You're right because i love you. ????? what are they doing they need to be locked up

The Impossible Planet/Satan Pit Script
Ok, so with this being not just my favorite episode of Who, but I will put it up against ALL of television (even the body swap episode of Farscape). Sorry this is long, but y'all have no idea how much I fucking love this 2 parter. I just really wish I could go back in time and re-watch this again for the first time. This was also right when I got into Firefly, and I was just so amazed at how similar these two episodes were to that series--and the music was just fantastic for this, so similar to Firefly too!
Little bits of this--Jesus, I loved that scene with the way the Doctor looks at Rose.
Ok, so this is the 2nd script I've ever read in my life, and I'm comparing it to GitF (see previous post on that train wreck) and I just have to say it shows how much different the writing style is--and David and Billie really do love their characters--so much of the nuances they bring to the Doctor and Rose aren't really in the script--like the writer just trusted the actors to do their jobs or something.
This is why Rose will always be better than me. Sure, I'd probably try to comfort Toby, but I'd stay the fuck away from that boy. Yeah, no--sorry about the possession, but no huggies for you.
HERE WE GO:
If I am not mistaken, and I only got into Doctor Who way back when it was on Netflix, and it was just the first two seasons (I had to scramble around on YouTube and get S3 and S4 and this was back when the episodes were just in like little 15m bits, fuck I'm old.)
Telling you that to say that I literally must have punched the air and screamed in delight when this scene happened.
HERO SHOT! Fucking adore this!
Wow, so there's really no other direction on what the actors needed to do in this scene--so all that amazing looks that the Doctor and Rose were giving each other--that's all David and Billie.
Ok, sorry this got long--but as I have very little understanding of scripts and acting and filming in general, this was so much fun to read.
I might look at Fear Her next because I am definitely curious to see how much of the script said things vs what the actors did.

Some people find it annoying sure but I personally find it quite fun and endearing that one of the tenth doctor’s mannerisms was making up silly sounding words.
…
Like gravity.
