“The doctor is notoriously unpunctual” is such a funny thing to have to clarify about someone with a literal Time Machine

No but can you imagine being a Doctor Who fan in the 60's and watching that first regeneration with no knowledge of NuWho or all the other doctors.
You watch this eccentric yet well-mannered old man transform into another, and you're not quite sure what that means yet. But surely, he's just replacing the lead and besides that not a whole lot is going to change, right?
SIKE you have now been introduced to
Who after regenerating, goes non-verbal for a while and only replies with toots of his recorder/flute, which he's suddenly really interested in.
He also never explains his thoughts, silently wanders off, gets fixated on doing tongue twisters right after finding some daleks, becomes obsessed with hats and in episode 2, threatens someone with a gun while in drag and robs the duke's arsonal after a nap.
It's the funniest most Intense vibe shift I've ever seen, but clearly people loved it with how the show's still going strong to this day 😭😭😭

The doctors so far from my perspective (Not rtd2 inclusive, I don't know them yet):
Fugitive- Are you really 'resisting arrest' if you didn't know you were doing it?
1- Diversity win! Your kidnapper is a trans man from another planet!
2- Scots are sexy, Kilts are sexy, Recorders are sexy, time lords are not sexy
3- Millitary interventionism is a stupid policy, but it's either this or karate so...
4- I was in a silly, goofy mood your honour... what do you mean I'm on trial I thought I was the witness?!
5- Orange cat energy. Like where are they? Not here!
6- Homophobic gay does crime
7- Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss = Atrocities
8- Sorry! I forgot everything you said a minute ago, I was looking at my shoes
War- Cute but also suffering
9- Cute but also suffering, this time in northern though so it's different
10- Gets away with war crimes because he plays truama cards like Yugio
Tentoo- A proud war criminal. Seriously lock this man away
10 Again- Disasterous, like watching someone repeatedly walk into a wall that they're convinced isn't there.
11- Gets away with war crimes by killing everyone else
12- I will create an environment that is so character development.... With an electric guitar
13- Is it trauma if I just hide away from the problem and never, ever speak about it ever?
