Y'know, the episode that gave me the most thoughts about the Doctor/TARDIS relationship? It wasn't The Doctor's Wife. It was The Girl Who Waited.

Specifically "Why don't you check the history records if there's a deadly plague?"/"That's not how I travel!"

Because I wondered if the TARDIS is able to kidnap him to a different place/time or not let him land if he tries to land in a place where he or his companions will be subjected to pointless misery that will help no one. Or does she genuinely just not know about some catastrophes? In that particular episode, if she did know that they were walking into trouble and it wasn't a situation where they could be of any help, was it possible for her to simply not land where he tried to land, like she's done five hundred times before, and take them somewhere else where it was safe? Would she?

I mean, she technically could be going "well, I could stop him, but I'll let him make his own choices about where to go even if they're really bad ones", but that would be pretty unfair when she thwarts his choices all the time to put him into all those situations where he's supposed to help people.

And does he trust her to not let him land somewhere horrible and unnecessary? Or does he believe she makes mistakes and doesn't know everything? Which one is true? Did she just make a mistake and accidentally set him down somewhere wrong, or mistakenly think there was no danger? Does he understand that she makes mistakes and doesn't know everything, or is he under the impression that every place she lets him land is either safe or in need of him?

And yes, I just wrote a serious tl;dr about issues of autonomy in the relationship between an alien and his spaceship.

Hmm...you bring up some interesting points. (You should write fanfic about it!)

I think it'd be more o a situation where she does step in when she really believes the Doctor needs to do [or not do] something, but otherwise would mostly stay out of it. As for the Doctor's side...Yeah, I'd say he mostly trusts her, but probably also knows she can [and possibly has] made mistakes before.

ayrt

Yeah, I like that idea. And that she's just as much a clueless rambler as he is, except sometimes she senses trouble and instinctively knows exactly where and when to drop him off to fix it.

Like Malcassairo?
