You are Samuel Vimes! Captain of Ankh-Morpork’s city Watch! You are a knight, married to the very wealthy, noble lady Sybil Ramkin.

You always do what is right – that is, what needs to be done – to keep the city safe, even when it seems bad.

Further to the mind-bogglingly stupid interview with Russell T Davis [livejournal.com profile] snorkackcatcher kindly scanned in, and Mr Davis' truth, universally acknowledged, that two characters of a similar age and appearing on screen together, must be involved in a love story: I just want to say that my new OTP is Ten/ Unexpected Woman Priest from the end of The Family of Blood. OMGtheirloveissoAnglican.

Seriously, though, this lunatic reflection reminds me of how absurdly happy it made me that Paul Cornell wrote that tiny bit part for a woman. Not as a comic lady vicar (see: The Vicar of Dibley) or as a source of predictable, boring, issue-y drama (see: The Archers), or otherwise there to be a WOMAN! priest, but rather simply as a priest, doing her job.

It's probably the most feminist moment of season 3, in its quiet little way.
