i saw a post saying boom was good bc it feels like it could be done with any doctor/companion duo and honestly that was one of the things i felt was wrong with it
#in a show with a title character that could be Literally Anyone and a companion sharing the lead that could be Literally Anyone
#i value the little moments that set this duo apart from the rest. ESPECIALLY when it comes to returning writers like rtd/moff
#fifteen and ruby felt a little too eleven/twelve and clara adjacent in boom. in both their dialogue and characterization
#space babies also landed a little weird at first bc it lifted a bit from end of the world BUT the scenes that fifteen and ruby
#had to themselves. like ruby getting covered in snot and fifteen laughing. or fifteen and ruby looking after the Space Babies
#or fifteen going out of his way to save the monster bc that monster is the only one of its kind Just Like Him Fr
#that stuff is so good and its also something we haven't seen from another nuwho doctor. the vulnerable bleeding-heart empathy
#and a dynamic w a companion that is basically 'two troublemakers that just deeply love fun and adventure and getting into trouble together'
#oh yeah and also the devil's chord was peak fiction because it touches on fifteen's renewed connection and love for humanity
#and marries it to ruby being a musician and how music like any art is the expression of the human soul etc etc
#WHAT MAKES A DOCTOR WHO STORY GOOD TO ME IS PARTLY HOW THE PREMISE TIES INTO THE DOCTOR AND COMPANION'S CHARACTERS
#IT HAS TO FEEL LIKE IT WAS TAILOR MADE TO THEM. ELSE IT WONT LAND RIGHT TO ME
#i hate the take that they should've saved wild blue yonder for a fifteen episode bc
#the tension is hinged on how well the doctor/companion know each other. u have a level of it that u can ONLY get
#with fourteen and donna who are two halves of a whole soul but have also spent much more time missing the other than knowing them
#im not rewatching fifteen's eps rn until a week later when i can watch it w my qpp but
#rn i still feel a stronger sense of fifteen and ruby's characters from all the rtd-written eps rather moffat
#which like. i get that a lot of that is my personal dislike of moffat's writing style but still
#dr who
