Sesska's Favorite TV Moment of the Week (12/17-12/23) (Patreon)
Content
There was so much heart and soul in this movie that it’s hard not to get emotional by the end of it all. I loved seeing the story of William Hartnell and how he was able to bring the First Doctor to life. It was so much fun looking back and being able to experience in a small way what the show brought to the world so early on. I don’t have a Tardis just yet but it was as close to being able to travel back in time to see how everything came together. There were doubts. There was hope. It didn’t just express how the show was being made but it was a beautiful metaphor for life in general.
And when you feel you found something so precious….it makes sense you would want to cling onto it for as long as possible. Props to David Bradley for being so wonderful and iconic in this role. I felt his love for the show. I felt his pain whenever anyone left or moved on. And I felt his sorrow when he knew his time was up. It’s an insanely emotional feeling that I couldn’t imagine going through.
But this moment right here was the moment that had me balling my eyes out. I wasn’t expecting it. I absolutely think it hit me harder because of how much I love Matt. But the idea that William Hartnell for a moment got to see the legacy the show has left was so beautiful to me. I really do hope he knows how big the show has gotten and how it’s continued for such a long time. I also hope he is proud.
It’s such an emotional take on leaving a legacy and knowing you have to let go of something you love so very dearly. This moment was impeccable and just really hit me right in the emotions. I guess it would be silly for me to think that Doctor Who December wouldn’t have it’s fair share of tears. This show has been a strange and emotional ride for me but it’s relatable nature is something I will always cherish.
