thank god the effects are still terrible the beatles look nothing like themselves and the new DWM cover looks like it was designed by a 12 year old in clip art. ncuti is out there in a new teaser proclaiming himself the last of the time lords. a street in cardiff was recently plastered with incredibly obvious DON’T WORRY TRUST THE GOVERNMENT posters and some fascist guy named conrad demanding the people keep their heads up. bird monsters are infiltrating regency england. anyone feel 2005 in the air tonight? disney money can’t touch a thing <3

the fact that ncuti gatwa and millie gibson pulled up to their first ever readthrough for one of the most iconic and long-running shows of all time only to find out that they would be performing a musical number to a group of cardboard-cutout goblins about eating a baby. their faces are fucking priceless. best bts footage to come out of unleashed so far. classic

you ever learn something you wish you didn't? I, for example, just learned that between 2008 and 2015 not a single episode of Doctor Who aired that was written by a woman. Between The Sontaran Stratagem, a story with David Tennant as the Doctor, and The Woman Who Lived, a Peter Capaldi story, not a single episode was written by a woman.

Thinking about how meetings between RTD and Disney went.
The Mouse: We’re willing to put Disney Money™️ into your show now. How do you want to use this budget? Epic battles? Marvel-level abuse of green screen technology?
RTD: I was thinking an elaborate goblin musical number
The Mouse: …
RTD: They sing about eating babies.

the more i watch classic who the more i realise how COMPLETELY out of touch with reality those anti-woke neckbeards who go on and on about how rtd/chibbers “made it political” are. turned? doctor? who? political? the “militant pacifism” show? the “regular commentary on the dangers of nuclear weapons” show? the “we keep portraying the destructive effects of thatcherism on england as a dystopian dog-eat-dog future” show? the “every fucking science fiction tale is a thinly veiled, obvious allegory for a social ill” show? THAT doctor who? made it political? have you been watching with your eyes firmly shut and your ears plugged with cotton because what
(obviously once you’re deep enough in leftist media critique culture, everything is to some extent political, but this isn’t even about that — it’s far more surface-level. political themes? in MY show whose entire premise is revisiting historical events and/or future societies? no fucking way)

We do NOT give Jackie Tyler and Mickey Smith their props for their character growth in the Parting of the Ways. Rose is absolutely amazing, an absolute ferocious beacon of hope and stubbornness and bravery in the finale, the absolute reason why the Doctor lives and the world is saved and an equal hero to Nine, but she has a moment of doubt. A moment of hesitancy.
And Mickey Smith and Jackie Tyler step in and help her save the day. Both Mickey and Jackie give up on their idea of Rose and their hatred of the Doctor and help her pull open the TARDIS. Even within this one episode we see them struggle with their feelings and decide to put them aside and help do this because Rose is right- this is a better way of living your life.
Doctor Who is about ordinary people making extraordinary decisions and making themselves extraordinary and this doesn't just apply to official companions (who I love with all my might)- it applies to the people they love, too. We see it over and over again in Davies' era, with Jackie and Mickey and Sylvia and Tish and Wilfred and Francine and Harriet Jones and every one-off character as well, from Lynda-with-a-Y to Jabe to Gwyneth to Novice Hame to McDonnell to Sally to Chantho to Nancy to all the rest.
Doctor Who is at its strongest when the story is focused on the strength of the bleeding, beating heart of humanity (and character in general, in its non-humans), when the characters drive the story, when at the end of the day you understand why, for all of the world's flaws, the Doctor comes back over and over again because of people like this- not just his companions, but the Jackies and Mickeys and all the rest of the world.

I really need a headcanon of Timelords having super immunity to stuff like radiation and being able to "detox" poisons but being absolutely destroyed by regular human food, like
Rose: what happened?? Are you okay??
The Doctor, lying nearly dead on the floor of the Tardis, one heart not beating, barely breathing: accidently drank appy juice :(
