With How Often The Bbc Tried To Cancel Doctor Who In The 80s, One Might Very Well Accuse Them Of Being

brax being rejected by romana in his own daydreams whilst romana writes self-insert fanfiction about her and the doctor, his cringe younger brother, at the academy is peak comedy

A smol bean angsty doctor.

For @aleksandrachaev who is too stupidly talented for her own good (and has mercilessly dragged me into this fandom with her brilliance and now keeps me chained to a toilet).

The Rescue (1965)

seeing a lot of "the episode was about social media and suddenly out of nowhere turned into a commentary on racism" THE WHOLE EPISODE WAS ABOUT RACISM. THE WHOLE THING. IT WAS ALWAYS ABOUT RACISM. from how white everyone was to lindy immediately blocking the doctor while only "sliding" ruby to them all being rich kids to lindy being appalled ruby and the doctor were in the same room to everyone saying they could "tame" the wild woods and "be pioneers". it was ALWAYS about racism.

yes the social media aspect ties into it bc racism is RAMPANT on social media. i specifically noticed how lindy made an effort to say how her clothes were sustainable and then turns around and commits microaggressions against the doctor. its the exact flavor of showboaty performative activism you see everywhere. just because you didnt notice it doesnt mean it wasnt there.

Nooooooo 😭 that's horrible!

I don't WANT them to bring back Tennant whenever they want! I want them to just let Gatwa have the chance everyone else has gotten!!!

They'll probably tie up the loose end whenever they think the publicity's dropping enough for them to bust out Tennant again :/ which could be any time they want.

Does the whole 'bigeneration' thing as an introduction for Ncuti Gatwa make anyone else feel icky? Because I definitely feel like they did Gatwa dirty with a botched transition between regenerations because people are getting a liiiiiiittle too nostalgic with the whole RTD/Tennant thing.

Tennant is a brilliant actor, and I'm not trying to downplay everything he's done for the show, but by leaving Tennant alive, they robbed Gatwa of an introduction that shows respect to his iteration of his character, instead leaving him to be the Random New Person while The Real Doctor is yet to come into the completion of his arc.

It's just a disappointing diversion from giving Gatwa's Doctor the focus and development he deserves.

The Doctor - Not Strong Enough

Not the Fifteenth Doctor info-dumping like crazy, calling Gallifrey “posh,” listing the Rani and the Bishop but not the Master, and then immediately asking Ruby to fly with them

The Master listening from their golden tooth:
