Expect a lot of writing and One era gushing. Feel free to say hi!
"As we learn about each other, so we learn about ourselves."- First Doctor.
Team One in ‘The Reign of Terror.’
The Doctor shushed Susan. “Even if you’re awake, keep it down, for the sake of our sleeping beauties in the back seat there.” he nodded backwards toward Ian and Barbara, huddled into one another, with Ian letting out the occasional extravagant snore.
Susan gave a lilting kind of laugh. “They’re sweet. It’s only when they’re asleep they cling to each other like that. They spend all their time when they’re awake pretending they don’t want to!”
(Short Trips: Farewells: The Mother Road.)
This scene is quite frightening as the Doctor and Susan sit on the floor and plead with the Daleks not to exterminate the Thals. The Daleks of course refuse and hold their plungers up in these kind of Nazi salutes. This must have been even more horrifying on TV at the time, less than 20 years after the war ended, and aliens talking of exterminations and master races. These days the Daleks come across as quite amusing (they did back then sometimes) but sometimes they were just incredibly scary knowing all that they were capable of.
I was born in another time, another world.
Susan: “Now no running around for a bit, Ian.”
Ian: “Yes Matron!”
Susan makes an excellent nurse when Ian is poisoned. Think she secretly enjoys it too.
“During all the years I have been taking care of you, you in return have been taking care of me.” The Doctor to Susan.
No greater relationship than that of the Doctor and his granddaughter.
“She lets out her knowledge a bit at a time so not to embarrass me..that’s what I feel about her. She knows more science than I’ll ever know. She’s a genius!” - Ian about Susan.
Ian was a great teacher and protector of Susan, and she in return nursed him back to health in ‘The Sensorites’.
“Think of all the times we’ve been in trouble before, we’ve always managed to get out of it in the end.” Barbara to Susan (The Reign of Terror)
Barbara was always there to comfort and protect Susan. They had a lovely relationship.
Susan reminisces about home.
