#(by the way -- there aren't any new age companions? they don't umm look for herbs and spiritual things in their lives?

[bubble-you]

need the version of doctor who series 8 and 9 where perhaps there isn't murray gold's music drowning out all the dialogue inflections and the actor's acting choices

#for context... tucker carlson's scrotum tanning thingo uses music from 2001: a space odyssey (the opening) #and it sounds a lot like part of the ost from heaven sent - the shepherd's boy #i guess the real solution is to advocate for systemic change so people don't need to look to new age things #(by the way -- there aren't any new age companions? they don't umm look for herbs and spiritual things in their lives? #or characters in general #i want to notice what things are *not* about #i'm trying to practice that #) #i think i would like it if the doctor who characters dropped some acid together #but in a minisode maybe. because it does have the obligation to be a franchise #i wish it didn't #one time a sibling extrapolated that i also like marvel and i like doctor who #because they were 'similar. of the same kind of thing' #sigh #chibnall... how could you have made doctor who this way #i did not rant because i had not carefully thought about why it mattered but. they are different. and they're not arbitrary differences! #i miss when doctor who made stories that mattered to me #i don't think it's all adolescence
