my fave thing that ever happened in dr who was when they had a bi girl protag who got murdered on accident and it was made out to be a shock value/furthering the main guy’s tragedy thing (the usual thing) but instead of leaving it like that they brought her back, made her immortal, and gave her a girlfriend and a time machine. the end. i’m very grateful for that
Also that time a lesbian was murdered by the monster of the week in
front of her horrified wife, gasped out some stricken last words,
collapsed –And then came back to life none the worse for wear about five minutes later.
