Are you guys ever watching something and you get so distracted because the actor is so pretty?

This is such an intense and dramatic moment. The Doctor is about to be shot out of the sky by someone disguised as his companion while on the phone with the imposter. The music is blaring, the tension is rising, and my dumbass audibly exclaims "She’s so pretty!" when it cuts to this shot EVERY TIME I WATCH IT! It is pathetic!

It's like watching a car crash and getting distracted because the tree that the car is about to hit is really pretty.

Do you guys subscribe to the theory that (at least, starting in NuWho) the Doctor can, somewhat, subconsciously control his regenerations?

Like, of course, 8 wanted to be a warrior, so he became the War Doctor (I know that he drank a potion for that, but that might’ve just been lemonade according to the Target Novelization).

War wanted to be the hero, to earn the title, the Doctor, again, so he became 9.

9 wanted to be someone who was the perfect partner to Rose (human), so he became 10.

10, in his vanity, wanted his final regeneration to be young, so he became 11.

11, after all the heartache, wanted to be more distant (and also what they said in series 8), so he became 12.

12 wanted a kind, fresh start, so he became 13.

13 wanted to open up to someone, so she became 14.

14 wanted time to heal, so he split off 15.

This is not an original theory, and I'm not even saying that I buy into it fully it, but it's interesting. It would be interesting if the Doctor had a tiny bit of control over their regeneration (Romana did, somehow) and most of the time his wants either backfire or only half work.

What do you think?

In universe, is Clark known as "Lois Lane's Husband"?

Like, I know he's a decorated reporter in his own right, but Lois Lane is LOIS LANE! She's one of the best reporters to ever exist! She, while probably not being a household name (r.i.p. the fourth estate), is extremely famous.

Do people believe that she is how Clark became best friends with Bruce Wayne (the man worth three Bezos and is somehow not a monster) and Diana, Ambassador of Themyscira (AKA Wonder Woman)?

How does the average person view this small town, too good for this world, himbo of a reporter?

After 14's tenure and how they have been headcanoned as "he/they", how do you gender 13? I keep thinking about one of her first lines "Why are you calling me madame?" I know that the joke is that the Doctor has never been a woman before so they aren't used to being called "madame" yet, but, I don't know, something about it seems telling.

When 11 regenerated and thought he was a woman, he panicked. Being a woman instinctively felt wrong, but thirteen felt confusion at being identified with a female honorific. It wasn't exactly a negative reaction, but it wasn't exactly positive a positive one either. It was just kind of neutral. That's not me saying she dislikes being a woman, there are many moments when she revels in it (Demons of the Punjab comes to mind), but those moments also come with new experiences, so who knows.

Now that 14 said that his gender was "the Doctor" (if one reads into the subtext of the pronouns conversation between him and Beep the Meep as that, it could just be read as just a joke), do we think 13 actually identify as a woman or does she just accept that she looks like one, so humans will call her one. She doesn't dislike or like it, she just accepts it.

I don't know if this actually means anything. This could be just another example of Time Lords being a confusingly gender fluid species, but it hasn't left my brain.

If this line of thinking holds, what does it mean for other incarnations? Would 4 care about such a "human" concept? 9 is so uncomfortable around other men. It reads as both the male territorial way and the female threat aversion way. How do 2, 6, and 12 feel about their own gender based on their vibe (I don't know how else to phrase it)?

Again, Time Lords have been presented as a strange form of gender fluid since, I believe, the wilderness years, so who's to say how the Doctor feels about this topic at any given time.

I don't think I actually said anything with this post, but who knows, what do you guys think?

Has anyone talked about how each of the three specials represents the three eras if NuWho (as in the three showrunners)?

The Star Beast felt like a classic Russel T Davis era introduction. The doctor disrupts the companion's boring domestic life, introducing them to a new, exciting, and very dangerous life. While, yes, this is the story of most NuWho companions, but Russell's version focused on how boring mundanity is (his companions are thrill seekers, especially Rose and Donna) and the companion's familiar life, which this episode does with the reintroduction of the Noble's.

It also has a "Davis-ex-machina", but all three episodes have that, so I'm not gonna mention it.

Wild Blue Yonder felt like a Moffat idea box (a dark fairy tale/cosmic horror). High concept scares or ideas that force the Doctor to drop his mask and confront truths about himself. I'm specifically thinking of series 6, where The Doctor relearns responsibility by the strange and usually terrifying situations he falls into, dragging his companions along for the ride. In this story, the Doctor is reminded how beaten down they are, setting us up for the conclusion in the finally. It's basically this Doctor's "The God Complex"! While this is how the franchise does character development, it feels uniquely Moffat because of its horror influence (its "Alien" and "The Thing") and the level at which it explains itself (it explains as much as it needs to have a monster with a gimmick, but not too much that they stop being scary - and also in a way that confuses most people).

It also has seemingly innocuous lines that are actually horrifying in context. "My arms are too long..." feels so much like "Are you my mummy," "Don't blink," and "Who turned out the lights," but it lacks the ability to be repeated more than once, so it can't become the quote for the creature. Instead of a singular quote, the episode goes for a series of chilling one-liners ("Oh, we get hungry, don't we..." being a great example).

The Giggle had that late Chibnall charm. Bringing back past elements in highly action-packed finales or specials to attempt to excite or "wow" the audience. While it pulls things out of nowhere to keep the plot going, you don't care because of how much fun you are having! I was specifically thinking about "The Power of the Doctor" while watching it. Half a "Flux" worth of ideas crammed into an episode, but with just enough fun, character, and heart that you allow it to do whatever. Let the episode drive you in whichever direction it needs to go to reach the destination, trusting that it won't get lost or crash. While this is, basically, the concept of the show (remember, we are watching a walking deus ex machina in their magic plot generating box, waiving their magic wand around until it is time for them to solve the problem), it feels like Chibnall because of how compact it is. Like I said, this has enough ideas that it could have been all three specials.

The thing that sets these three specials apart from the last three eras is the power dynamic between the Doctor and their companion. 14 and Donna are equals. While Donna is being reintroduced to the extraordinary, 14 is being reintroduced to the mundane. While Donna is trying to escape from the lovecraftian creature they've encountered, the Doctor is right beside her, scared of what they shouldn't comprehend (the episode even punishing them for their comprehension). While Donna is being toyed with by a dark god, the laws of reality failing her, the Doctor is facing the same, at the wim of an entity that operates by a different set of rules. The Doctor and their companion, their friend, is finally operating on the same playing field as them, which means that, by extension, so are we.

Donna, like all companions, represents the audience, but, in these stories, she specifically represents the fans of the last 20 of Doctor Who. The ones that grew up watching NuWho. We are older now, still as loud and snarky as ever, but we are adults now. Just like Donna, we have lives, responsibilities. We can't experience the world (or the program) the way we once did. Even though the adventures never truly end, it is our turn to join the previous generation (reprented by Mel) watch the next batch of whovians discover this exciting universe for the first time, our Doctor by our side.

This was the best conclusion to NuWho that we could've hoped for!

It's weird being asexual and still experiencing sexual attraction.

My body: That person is attractive.

Me: Ok?

My body: And that makes you feel something.

Me: OK, but what do I do about that?

My body: Nothing!

Me:...But wh...

My body: Nonono! You are going to sit there and deal with it!

Like, bitch, what the fuck...

I know that 15 is implying that he had the "long, hot summer" with Houdini, but, since this is a long running reference (every Doctor has mentioned learning a trick from Houdini), what if he's referencing him and Susan spending a tedious, humid summer under the tutelage of Harry Houdini, but sexy is just apart of 15's personality so he said it like an innuendo.

TLDR: 15 is naturally sexy, but is so asexual that he doesn't realize.

Just realized that, because of the sliding timescale and constant adaptations, there will come a time when Bruce Wayne will be younger than me...

Hell, according to those dating profiles DC released Valentines Day, I am older than Stephanie, Tim, Duke, and Damian (probably Harper too, but I'm not certain).

#batman #bruce wayne #spoiler #stephanie brown #red robin #tim drake #signal #damian wayne #bluebird #duke thomas #robin #harper row #also is cassandra still a few months older than jason because 23 seems a bit too old for her given how old her peers are

I wonder how Clark being unaware of his past will affect his secret identity?

One of the big reasons that no one truly suspects that Clark is Superman (besides all of the physical and personality changes) is because Superman gave an interview where he revealed information about himself. What's Superman's real name? Kal-El. Where does he live? The Fortress of Solitude. Where is he from? Krypton, which blew up when he was a baby. Does he have family? No, his family died on Krypton.

Why would you question if this clumsy reporter is actually Superman when you have all this information? Most people probably think that he is just always Superman since that's what all the evidence points to.

So, with none of that information being revealed to the public (specifically to Lois), will there be more of a suspicion? Will Lois be able to figure it out faster?

Probably not, I doubt they would severely change the dynamic this early on, but it is fun to think about.

Also, I love that Clark wears a sweater over his shirt and tie! It adds bulk to his frame that changes how his physique appears. While he still looks muscular (he doesn't slouch like he does in the comics, which would make him look like he's out of shape), he doesn't look like he is in that impossibly good shape that Superman's in. It makes his muscles look more human.

I was unsure whether to discuss this because the discourse surrounding this character has been contentious, but Lois being an intern is weird, right?

Like, not bad, but weird?

Overall, I do like this version of the character so far. She has a great design. She keeps her hair short and her make-up/accessories limited to make her seem more mature and official, but it just ends up accentuating her youthful face. She wears a massive coat to make herself appear larger, but it just manages to swallow her whole, making her small frame look smaller. She also tends to wear more form-fitting and age appropriate outfits under this coat, showing her youth. These elements visually show us that she is a young woman (of color) who desires to be taken seriously in an environment that refuses to. She tends to overdo her attempts to be taken seriously, highlighting her youth and immaturity.

I also like how the character's written. She feels like a young Lois. She has her reckless streak. She will jeopardize everything and everyone for the sake of the story. In the first episode, she lies to Clark and Jimmy in an attempt to get her story, even though it could make them lose their internship. In the second, her plan is to follow the person who tried to kill her the previous day, even though it would put her in danger. She hasn't learned her limits yet and does not feel accomplished enough to respect those limits.

She's also not cynical yet. She actually seems a bit wide-eyed and optimistic. She's still new to the job, so she has not seen the shit that she would have normally seen by the time we meet her in most versions of the story. She's fresh out of college, not a grizzled reporter who has had that feeling of wonder and magic stolen from her by the big city.

I also love that they've adopted the modern version of the Lois and Clark dynamic. She has a crush on Clark before Superman exists, enraptured by his bumbling nature, awkward demeanor, and kindness. She then becomes obsessed with Superman, not because she thinks he's hot (though she sometimes can't ignore that fact), but because he's the perfect story. Being the first to interview Superman will give her the recognition she craves. I'm expecting a story where Clark believes that Lois prefers Superman because of her obsession with him, so decides to ask her out in the tights, where she rejects him, saying that she is trying to build up the courage to ask out one of her friends (because Lois should be the one to make the first move, right).

I obviously like what we've seen so far, but I am having difficulty adjusting to Lois being an intern.

Like, there's nothing wrong with it. It is a new, interesting way to interpret the character. It's just not what I would do because it means that we can't really do elements of the Clois dynamic until later on.

From my experience, the fun in their dynamic comes from their competitive natures and their opposing perspectives. They are two really talented reporters who, though they are usually partners who work on the same or adjacent stories, are determined to be the first to make breakthroughs in stories. They have fun one-upping each other and take opportunities to playfully tease each other, getting under the other's skin to push them farther (which is a side of Clark that only Lois and Bruce experience). They will also gladly admit defeat when the other "beats" them (generally Clark because Lois has to be the one to interview Superman and anyone surrounding whatever situation has caused a Superman sighting since Clark obviously can't).

A more seasoned Lois also makes a great foil for Clark because of her opposing outlook on the world. As stated previously, she is generally a cynic. In every story, there is some facade, some hidden motive and it is her job, as a reporter, to uncover it. Clark, on the other hand, is an optimist. In every story, there is some human element that will shine through whatever darkness presents itself and it is his job, as a reporter, to find it.

That's why Perry made this seasoned reporter (who is on track to get a pulitzer) partner with this new hire that has only worked for smaller publishers. They make up for each other's shortcomings and force the other to be better.

Now, those are really the only things that this dynamic is missing. They still have Clark and Lois being willing to go to different lengths to get a story and they still have different experiences that leads to them getting answers through different means. They are just missing my favorite parts of the dynamic, but that's okay. I'm still enjoying this interpretation of the story and can get these elements through other interpretations.
