What if your eyes looked up and met mine one more time?

— gifs 1 and 2: the "he really is the doctor" moment. the eleventh doctor is introduced in that typically bombastic moffat way, asserting his identity to the enemy and the audience as he literally replaces the image of the tenth doctor. the twelfth doctor does not have such an assertive moment; rather, he begs clara (and by extension, the viewer) to see him as the man he still is.

— gifs 3 and 4: the first big bad. the eleventh doctor declares his authority to the villains of his first season, setting the stage for his arc as a god-like savior of the universe that must subsequently erase his reputation. the twelfth doctor, when facing off with missy in his first finale, reminds himself that he is neither inherently good nor bad, that he's just an idiot passing by to help out— a thread of humility that continues through his run.

— gifs 5 and 6: the life-altering motif. both doctors carry themes of love and kindness throughout their runs. the eleventh doctor tells us that every life is important no matter how small, that the wonders of the universe are worth sticking around to see, that the bad in life doesn't cancel out the good. the twelfth doctor tells us to make all actions with kindness, to put care for others as our motivation, creating with his predecessor a complete picture of care for the self and care for the world.

— gifs 7 and 8: the farewell. the eleventh doctor reminisces on his long lifespan, reliving moments with amy and promising to never forget the time he spent as this incarnation; an appropriate last hurrah for his at-times grandiloquent run. the twelfth doctor, reluctant, at first, to move on from a life he has become so comfortable in, gives himself permission to regenerate peacefully, concluding his run with an act of kindness towards himself.

Polish movie poster for Goncharov by Waldemar Świerzy. Due to delayed release behind the Iron Curtain, the film started screening year later in 1974, which is also the year this poster was made. A classic example of Polish School of Posters.
