Imperiatrix is really where Narvin gets you. And he’ll never let you go again!
I liked him as the show went on but when he finally showed just how dedicated he was to his role; even willing to potentially sacrifice himself for a president he personally despise because allegiance or politics be damned, he takes value in his work and his loyalty, it’s hard to not fully feel endeared to him
You seeeeee!! The exact moment that Narvin turns from ‘ugh that guy’ to ‘aw, that guy’ is when he runs to warn Romana about the bomb and promptly gets blown up. It’s a big moment for him in a big episode. What an episode it is!!
Also I forgot to say but that ending probably has changed my brain chemistry
Can I just say, as much as I am heartened that you have finally succumbed to the Narvin-love, I am even more entertained by your two points - 1) and B gag.
YAY BLOW THAT MAN UP!!! The way Narvin runs straight to Romana knowing about the plot to undermine her just to get exploded and dedicate his loyalty for the rest of time. this series makes me soooo crazzyyyyyy
IMPERIATRIX!! One of my all-time top Gallifrey episodes! And one of the most Narvin stories. This is where we really get to see him. And, because I have been keeping a list of how Narvin calls Romana [1], I now know that this is where he first calls her Romana to her face:
NARVIN: [Breathing shakily; pained] Madam President? Romana… I- I gave her the codes. She used them against me… I’m sorry. I’ve always been loyal to your office, despite everything. Darkel is planning a coup.
Which I will be going insane about now. Imperiatrix truly has it all. Pandora, Romana losing it, Leela grieving, K-9!! I love this series
why? you may ask. why not ↩︎
Also, with the current lore of the TV show, one could say that imperiatrix actually has the first instance of a bigeneration. I’m not sure if I like that but it is an interesting thought either way
This just in Mrs Flood and Fourteen are also Pandora lol
we do keep bringing back random evil time lords from the dawn of time so who’s to say[1]
fun to jest about but absolutely not in reality though. pandora is mary tamm, you just can’t do that again ↩︎
So excited for Pandora to appear as an unconvincing CG monstrosity!
don’t even start…
Love you too TARDIS Guide user and fellow Narvinhead ™ sircarolyn
Why would you speak such an evil? You should know better Narvinhead, I shall put you on Trial and if you are found guilty we will force you to regenerate into Eric Roberts! /lh
