Jamie McCrimmon, the Doctor's Actual Proper Soulmate, srsly..

[carmen_lj]

"I haven't got a sporran; obviously the Doctor hasn't started paying me yet."

Fraser Hines, Tomb of the Cybermen Commentary

In aid of all those oppressed Doctor/Rose shippers who are being crushed by the Terrible Oppression of Doctor/Romana shipping, I present Tomb of the Cybermen, An Exciting Recap, Now With Pictures!, in order to oppress Doctor/Romana shippiness with even older old skool True Love. Cause we all know Doctor Who really jumped the shark when it went colour. YES IT DID.

Tomb of the Cybermen (or Scottish Companions are Best)



"Doctor," says Jamie, putting a comforting hand on the Doctor's arm and trying his best to be kind and tactful. "You're pretty rubbish at navigating the TARDIS."

"Hmph!" says the Doctor, and promptly lands them somewhere where there are Killer Sixties Cybermen.





This is where the Doctor tries to open some big doors, but fails. Jamie, keen to show off his very attractive manly Scottish strength to the Doctor, gives it a shot.

His manly Scottish strength fails him. Woe! How will he impress the Doctor now?



Victoria is worried about her short non-Victorian skirt. The Doctor says not to worry, look how much shorter Jamie's is.

Clearly the Doctor has been admiring Jamie's legs quite a bit.



Yay! Old skool handporn!



"There is a distinct element of risk in what I'm about to ask you to do, so if anyone wishes to leave, they must do so at once," says the Doctor. Jamie leaves. "Not you, Jamie," the Doctor adds.

It are great, yes? Jamie for teh win!



Cute worry! Also they have subtle clinging in this scene (oh, how I long for The Invasion - it is pure clinging between them All The Time, Yay!)



Gratuitous Victoria Pic. Because she's one of those so-called 'sixties screamers.' This is her just after she saved Kaftan from a Cybermat, grabbed Kaftan's gun and shot the Cybermat herself.



And then they all have some sleep. But the Doctor is sad, for Jamie is elsewhere and so he must substitute Jamie with a great big wire thing.



The Doctor makes a terrible, terrible joke and Jamie makes a noise of PAIN. And then the Doctor apologises because he loves Jamie and does not want to hurt him with his awful puns.



Hiding! For sneaky is best.



Holding onto each other is Integral To The Story, so they do it a lot.



Best of all is when Scary Things Happen, and they instinctively grab for each other.



"Jamie, remind me to give you a lesson in tying knots sometime."

I do not think I need to add anything to such Revealing Dialogue.



Jamie and the Doctor use the skience of Lever Pulling to win!



And then Jamie trips like a girl and the Doctor catches him.



Big Group Finish!

And there are some Cybermen in there somewhere. But they are probably not very important.

The End!

I do not understand the Romana/Doctor shippers. Everyone knows the Doctor only loved Jamie, his one true soulmate forever and ever and EVER. Stop oppressing my OTP!!!!!!! Why does the internet not write more of their love?????

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

And also: hee! Excellent picspam. Yes.

[livii.livejournal.com]

I do not think I need to add anything to such Revealing Dialogue.

::dies::

This is all True, even if I don't quite ship them in a conventional shippy sense. But what I do love about their Love is that they are willing to share with others, like Victoria as shown above, or Zoe (yay Zoe!) Their Love is made of Awesome.

[calapine.livejournal.com]

I do not know if I ship them properly, because I just love them being together and being so happy and protective of each other and Victoria or Zoe. And Jamie loves the Doctor but calls him on his Awfulness, and the Doctor mocks all the time Jamie, but he's the one who won't let him go into danger alone. I LOVE THEM.

[abates.livejournal.com]

This post is made of win!

[calapine.livejournal.com]

THEY MAKE ME V HAPPY TOGETHER.

[tekiclutch.livejournal.com]

So adorable.

Two/Jamie wins over all het pairings ever. So hah.

[calapine.livejournal.com]

sort of agrees a bit kind of maybe

[snowgrouse.livejournal.com]

EXACTLY! You've just highlighted the bits I love Tomb for. Beautiful. That handporn moment is one of my favourite Who moments EVER. They were so damn funneh together!

[wishfulaces.livejournal.com]

I have nothing to add to such a splendidly well thought out, organized, and cogent argument about Two/Jamie. Huzzah.

(I have no Jamie icons? I HAVE NO JAMIE ICONS! Oh the horror.)

[calapine.livejournal.com]

Yes. There was, um, research. And stuff. Clearly I did not just watch Tomb and take a screencap whenever they touched, noes.

[that_mireille]

This is so beautiful. I love Tomb for all of this. (And I love Victoria very much in it, as well.)

Do I own it, or was it a Netflix? I OWN IT. I must watch it now. :)

[calapine.livejournal.com]

I love Victoria in this like woah, she is brave and competant and lovely with the Doctor, and she screams to provide a distraction so they can get the Bad Peoples.

And bestest is her snark at the sexist space captain. Yes.

[nostalgia-lj.livejournal.com]

The best thing is NONE OF IT IS LIES!

[calapine.livejournal.com]

That brings me SO MUCH GLEE.

[capriuni.livejournal.com]

Thank you for this. Really.

Two/Jamie is the main reason why I like Troughton's era best.

[gwynnega]

Yay, Two/Jamie! With handpron and clinging! :-)

[erinlin.livejournal.com]

I have got to get my hands on some old school Doctor Who!

[calapine.livejournal.com]

Yes. Yes, you do. *nods*

[ikindofrock]

Forgive the self-spamming but I am feeling oppressive. Maybe Doc/Jamie shippers and Doc/Romana shippers can unite into a more powerful oppressive force?

See here: http://ikindofrock.livejournal.com/4345.html#comments

[charcoal-angel.livejournal.com]

Yes! Jamie/Doctor is soo superior to any other Doctor who ship. heheh

This post is my hero.

*eats Jamie in squishy cake form* mmm....

[lycoris.livejournal.com]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, Two/Jamie! Totally pure Doctor/Companion love! Because Jamie's all loyal and cute and the Doctor and he are always grabbing each other and Jamie gets all sad when he thinks the Doctor betrayed him in Evil of the Daleks and it's all cute!

(I love Two and Jamie. Could you tell?)

And your screencaps are loff.

[katemonkey.livejournal.com]

Awwwww! Handporn!

Now do The Mind Robbers! Where the Doctor gets his face ALL WRONG and is sad because his Jamie is no longer the same!

*glee*

[miss-nobody.livejournal.com]

Spent my afternoon enjoying some quality clingage in The Dominators, and now I see this?

Welcome to my happy place.

[--kali--.livejournal.com]

Theirs was a beautiful ship but Auntie Beeb was jealous of their love and burnedededed it. *cries*

[redstarrobot.livejournal.com]

Ah, Jamie. The first companion so good they had to bring him back twenty years later. He's so '60s and wonderful.

[purple-smurf.livejournal.com]

Oh, wonderful! Who needs subtext when it's clearly text?

[calapine.livejournal.com]

Commentaries tell me they did Text on purpose when they thought they could get away with it.

[spiralsheep.livejournal.com]

Eeeeee! Theirclingyloveissocanon.

I love this post. Thank you.

Of course Evil of the Daleks is even bettererer, even though it has Daleks instead of Cybermen, because it teams Jamie's kilt and knees up with Kemel's fez and chest.

Ahem.

[calapine.livejournal.com]

That is the one where they sneak about someone's house? And then someone BURNED the rest, yes?

[padawanpooh.livejournal.com]

I love you so much for this!!!!!!!!!

[calapine.livejournal.com]

::twirls::

:D

[srin.livejournal.com]

The internet told me that Two/Jamie was amazing, and then I watched Tomb of the Cybermen and witnessed how they touch all the time and understood the wonder.

Then some annoying little part of my brain pointed out that They probably let Two touch Jamie all the time because They thought it would seem less sketchy than letting him touch the girls all the time.

And then I decided that I don't care about such external reasons, because Two/Jamie is clearly love and wonderful and yes. As is this post. :D

[calapine.livejournal.com]

Oh, oh, The Mind Robber has a whole episode that is basically Two and Zoe holding onto each other, but I am Quietly Ignoring That and pretending he Only Loves Jamie, yes.

[leoniedelt.livejournal.com]

Superb! I love squeecaps. Particularly of the old-skool sort. :)

[calapine.livejournal.com]

Yays! :D

[sushigal007.livejournal.com]

I love this. And the Mind Robber one. Please tell me you have more episode reviews that are simply screengrabs of Doctor/Jamie touching. ^^

[calapine.livejournal.com]

I have only two, woe. There is intention for more because they are dead fun when I am bored, yes.

[tamanth.livejournal.com]

"I haven't got a sporran; obviously the Doctor hasn't started paying me yet."
Oh my. Really? Trufax DVD commentary?
*ponders bank statement*

I love these posts of yours. Any chance for The Dominators?

[calapine.livejournal.com]

Trufax indeed, yes.

Ah, if they have the sense to bring it out on DVD - the VHS is around here somewhere though.
