"i wanted you to be the first to know: i'm gonna live" < 3

Gritei aqui quando apareceu um Dalek. O Russell T Davies (criador e escritor da série) foi escritor chefe e produtor executivo de #DoctorWho

É agoniante ver esse lado negacionista do Richie porque da pra fazer um paralelo com os tempos atuais...

Se eu não conhecesse a música dos Pet Shop Boys desde os anos 80, diria que a mesma tinha sido feita para a série.

When I look back upon my life
it’s always with a sense of shame
I’ve always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
no matter when or where or who
has one thing in common too

It’s a, it’s a, it’s a, it’s a sin
It’s a sin
Everything I’ve ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I’ve ever been
Everywhere I’m going to
It’s a sin

At school they taught me how to be
so pure in thought and word and deed
They didn’t quite succeed
For everything I long to do
no matter when or where or who
has one thing in common too

It’s a, it’s a, it’s a, it’s a sin
It’s a sin
Everything I’ve ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I’ve ever been
Everywhere I’m going to
It’s a sin

Father forgive me
I tried not to do it
Turned over a new leaf
then tore right through it
Whatever you taught me
I didn’t believe it
Father you fought me
‘cause I didn’t care
and I still don’t understand

So I look back upon my life
forever with a sense of shame
I’ve always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
no matter when or where or who
has one thing in common too

It’s a, it’s a, it’s a, it’s a sin
It’s a sin
Everything I’ve ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I’ve ever been
Everywhere I’m going to I
It’s a sin

Confiteor Deo omnipotenti vobis
fratres quia peccavi nimis cogitatione, verbo, opere
et omissione. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

Muito bonito como o Russell desconstruiu, aqui, um protagonista tão difícil (tem tantos momentos em que eu odeio o Richie...) para mostrar a profunda, injusta e aprendida vergonha de si mesmo que ele esconde por baixo da confiança superficial, e que o levou a fazer tanta merda.
