who_at_50 I'm way late, which makes it lose some momentum, I suppose. But I wanted to post it anyway. To quote Bernard Black: ''Enjoy. It's dreadful but it's quite short.''
Jaime doesn't really spend much time questioning exactly what sort of world he's walked into. Clearly, the Doctor and the TARDIS are not of this world, but there's very little point in wondering too much about their exact nature. They just always were, the fairies, the trolls, the elves, the kelpies, the angels. And whatever the Doctor is.
He comes to understand remarkably quickly, all the same. The Doctor is not only not of Jamie's world but also not of Jamie's time. Clearly, he always knew that there were beings that existed out of this world and out of this time. And clearly, Man doesn't fully understand them and can't describe them with complete accuracy. Because why shouldn't the Doctor's ship look the way it does? Obviously, the human mind wouldn't be able to properly describe what these things look like and would use whatever description that comes closest. Surely, John the Apostle didn't actually Golden Gates. It was a just a simple way of explaning what he did see.
Perhaps it's just a matter of words, Jamie thinks, as the Doctor sprints around pushing buttons.
