The naff lion dude is just sort of there—we glimpse him early on in the episode, and he’s hanging around in the woods (sleeping in Lady Me’s garden) while she procures a magic amulet for him with the Doctor’s help.The Doctor may or may not have made Sam Swift immortal—he figures the portal thingy may have drained most of the power of the “field medic” chip, but he’s not really sure.There were a few matters in the episode outside of the plot itself that annoyed me slightly. And she’s desperate to escape from this planet she’s been trapped on for eight centuries—so much so, she’s willing to make a deal with a naff lion.But she’s led lots of other lives, too—she fought in the Battle of Agincourt, reigned as a queen, saved a town from the scarlet fever and was drowned as a witch, founded a leper colony, and mastered a ton of skills. Despite a couple of hiccups plotwise it told a great story and stuck to it.The thing is, the magic amulet uses death to open the portal, so someone needs to die. And her children, who died of the plague.The notion that someone who’s functionally immortal would wind up calling herself “Me” is a neat one. (Sadly we never see the spaceships, so we don’t get to see if the spaceships are also lion-shaped.) Is it weird I now want a spin-off of Maisie and Hound just going through the ages fucking stuff up, though it’s unlikely to happen as we still haven’t got a Vastra and Jenny spin-off either.Despite the good scenes though there were some parts that I didn’t really like. He keeps insisting that her dispassion is just a mask, to hide the deep pain inside her—but no, maybe she’s really just totally “desensitized” and uncaring.Anyway, to the extent that the “cowardly lion” storyline had a point, it was all about Lady Me seeing other people’s lives as so short, they’re basically pointless—and thus, she’s happy to sacrifice a life or two to escape. And it’s about her desperation to get away from Earth and see more of the universe.In “The Woman Who Lived,” the Viking girl that the Doctor saved is still alive, and it’s 800 years later. ).The most fascinating and original concept in the episode is the notion that she forgets most of her long life, because she’s got unlimited lifespan but a normal human-sized memory. In 2011, she debuted in a professional acting role at age fourteen, starring as Arya Stark, a main-cast role in the HBO medieval fantasy epic drama series Game of Thrones (2011–2019), a portrayal that quickly brought the acting newcomer global attention. And her great shortcoming is actually entirely based on the Doctor’s own immortal disregard for limited humans and our short lifespans, which we’ve seen him struggle with in the past.Sam Swift, incidentally, is set up as being a foil to Lady Me even as she’s a foil to the Doctor. Also next week’s episode looks quite good so far (even if I’m annoyed at it being the aliens who break the treaty rather than the humans for once) which is surprising given it’s written by Mr ‘Kill the Pro-Life Metaphor’.This episode is pretty much great from beginning to end—except for the 15 or so minutes in the middle, with the naff lion dude from the lion planet, which is called something like Lionus IV or something. Lady Me almost sacrifices her beloved old servant, but then she hears that Sam Swift the Quick, a rival highwayman that we met earlier, is about to be hanged—which is perfect. And the Doctor doesn’t want to travel with her, because two immortals together “wouldn’t be good.” They would reinforce each other’s disregard for the short-lived ordinary people around them, which is why the Doctor chooses to travel with mortals instead.This turns into the usual critique of the Doctor—that he’s “the man who arrives for the battle and then leaves for the aftermath,” as the Doctor puts it. The characters and spot-on casting in this episode is what really made it come together. He’s a buffoon, a terrible highwayman who tries to rob the Nightmare early on in the episode and screws it up. The ending of the hanging felt like a massive cop out with the Doctor once again being proven right when I just can’t help but think it turning out Maisie really is jaded by her years and not caring being much more powerful, and would probably add to the ying-yang aspect between her and Sam at the end.But once she sees people suffering, and realizes she’s responsible, she has a crisis of conscience and finds her compassion reawakening.
