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

"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?????

::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.

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.

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.)

Then you should help me find out how the hell to get my real player to play subtitles from a subtitle file. I have been at this for HOURS. :)

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. :)

Thank you for this. Really.

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

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.

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