Day 21: A favourite song with a person’s name in the title
The Ballad of Ianto Jones by Ben Foster & BBC National Orchestra of Wales [Torchwood: Children of Earth]
The Doctor’s face is a reminder of that time when he didn’t help Earth, abandoned it to make its own choices. Of how being cornered like this forces you to be complicit in horrible things on a planetary scale, and responsible for the death of the very people you wanted to protect. Of the fact that when humanity faces the dilemma he knows so well it doesn’t feel any better for them, and even if a third option is found in the end, there might be a terrible price to be paid.
It was a reminder not to abandon Earth when it needs him.
It was a reminder not to do exactly what he did in Kill the Moon.
Gwen: They died, and I am sorry, Jack, but you cannot just run away. You cannot run away.
Jack: Oh, yes, I can. Just watch me.
