Rewatching Doctor Who: The Long Game
This episode seems (to me) frequently forgotten, not overly significant to the overarching plot of Season 1. You get proof of your previous suspicion that Adam is an arrogant, self-absorbed idiot, and the awkward humor of observing him on Floor 16 and at the end of the episode. But the real purpose of the episode is a lot bigger and more pointed.
The Long Game is a commentary on corruption in media, on the dangers of information handling. Satellite Five is in control of all information in the Empire, and that means that it controls the Empire itself. Humans think that they know all the facts, but when questioned, are taken aback by the realization that they really don’t know anything. There are some lessons to be taken from this episode - namely, question authority. Question the news. Don’t believe everything you’re told simply because it comes from the official source. And never, ever give a single entity total control over the information.
I find this episode to be very 1984-esque, with total observation at all times and manipulation of information. If people act outside the norms, they are “promoted” and killed. But they keep working for that promotion, trying to serve Satellite 5, because they haven’t thought to question it.
Because the walls are made of gold.

Okay so, the Doctor is from out of space but does he only breathe oxygen like everyone else? Does Gallifrey have an atmosphere like Earth’s? Because I’d never thought about it before now but he seems to be struggling just as much as everyone else and he does seem to have the same basic anatomy as a human, other than the two hearts.
Anyone care to answer?
Gallifrey’s atmosphere is 77% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen and 2% other, which means that it’s similar to Earth’s atmosphere, but it’s a bit thinner.
The Doctor needs oxygen as well, but Time Lords have a raspiratory bypass system that allows them to go without breathing for a longer time span than humans.Most fandoms have some pretty deep canon. The Doctor Who fandom can tell you the concentrations of gas in the atmosphere of the home planet of the main character. DW Fandom > Your fandom

The average Nerdfighter spends five times less time watching TV than the average American.
I wonder how/if that corresponds to time spent online.
100 favorite Doctor Who quotes [34/100]
→ Falling in love? That didn’t even occur to him?Oh god, there is so much meaning behind this quote and this scene, holy balls…
John Smith makes the thing about not expecting love seem like such a horrible character trait. But what he doesn’t know, and what Martha seems to have forgotten, is that the Doctor had just lost Rose. Why would he expect that he, even a human, would fall in love with someone else?
