every now and then i think about my version of the day of the doctor and i cry a little about it. it could have been so great with just a tiny bit of tweaking.

-main difference: gallifrey falls. but the doctor manages to delay the destruction of the planet long enough for a significant number of refugees to escape. how would having a bunch of timelords fleeing across the universe affect later seasons? who knows but it would have been fascinating
-the daleks also survive. that’s the sacrifice the doctor has to make to save his people, the daleks are back in full force and are terrorising the universe. also then we end up with no genocide on the doctor’s conscience today
-bloody ten bloody interacts with the bloody moment for one bloody second
-ten is actually in character
-we use eight as the war doctor not 8.5
-no weird terrible zygon storyline, or sexist perversions of queen liz i
-clara does something and is important to the plot in some way other than crying
-osgood can stay

Both realities. Both realities in my head.

#out of all the things I’ll never fogrive about the storytelling after season 5 THIS takes the bloody cake no contest #how Amy’s relationship with her parents was so blatantly PROVOKINGLY ignored #Amy’s loss of her parents is one of the major aspects of her story arc in season 5 right? #she lost them and moved to a strange place with an aunt who was never home #the same aunt who didn’t believe the stories about Amy’s raggedy Doctor and told her to stop believing in stars #growing up in a broken home with no one believing in her made her bitter insecure and cynical and that’s the CORE of Amy’s character #so then the Doctor sacrifices himself and gets written out of the Universe so that Amelia Pond can have her family back #and she does and she looks so thrilled to have her mum and dad back #when she first sees them in the Big Bang it’s just so obvious how happy she is by her giddy face #AND THEN NOTHING #NADA #WE NEVER HEAR ABOUT THEM AGAIN #Amy Pond was denied the ONE THING every companion (including Rory) has had: an episode about her family #does she love her dad or mum the most? #did her parents believe the stories about the Doctor? #are they on board with her life choices? #what do they do to keep her safe? #not to mention that there have been two episodes (without even counting next week’s) where all this could have been dealth with #in Let’s Kill Hitler we see her growing up with Mells and Rory and yet NO PARENTS EVER in her house #in the Girl Who Waited there are tons of references to her childhood and adolesence and AGAIN NO PARENTS EVER MENTIONED #might I also say that Amy has two realities in her head and that was never addresed either #(no a DVD extra doesn’t count) #I wanted so much more for you #but you’re still a Queen
