The full impact behind this quote is on display in this episode of Doctor Who.
The Forest Of The Night - the 8th episode of the 10th series - is one of the (I'm sad to say) worst stories (even including the other 'child' episode - Fear Her).
Let me say I am not some 'right-wing' person who doesn't believe in the detrimental impact we're having on this planet.
What I am saying is this story is a cheap cop-out - an easy excuse to bolster ratings amongst kids & their parents, but - for the rest of the viewers (who are the majority); adults, this story's attempt at making a natural solar event into a Who-story falls flat.
The only positives here - an excellent manic performance by Peter Capaldi as The Doctor.
I am of the mind thought that the relationship between Clara Oswald & Danny Pink is forced, & very unnatural.
For those who watched this evolve from this series beginnings, Clara always seem to be the one making the moves after Mr. Pink, but - there was never anything 'there' - that, we the viewer could see.
Yes, Samuel Anderson (who portrays Danny Pink) is a handsome fellow, but, the initial pursuit Clara does for Mr.Pink seemed pointless.
Why?
Yes, without being sexist, there's nothing wrong with wanting someone for purely physical reasons, but, as this 'relationship' has continued, she seems to weigh it's value much deeper than she, and he seems to be indifferent.
So, to have the possible end of the world about to happen, I would rather save myself - Mr. Pink and kids be damned.
This episode features another appearance by the 'mysterious' 'Missy,' and I'm willing to bet 'Missy,' is the Doctor - I propose her name is short for 'Mistakes.'
I do not have any inside word from anyone @ either BBC or on the series itself - it just seems to be quite obvious.
TIme will tell.
IF I'm right, buy me a beer.
