Trias Politica and Doctor Who

in the English speaking world, i believe trias politica is usually called separation of powers

The absolute basics of the theory of the trias politica is essentially: it's not good when 1 guy does everything, it should be different guys who hold the power to make laws, the power to enact laws and the judicial power (so like, to interpret laws?)

A large part of the 10th Doctor's arc was going from "THE LAWS OF TIME ARE MINE AND I DECIDE THEM" to, like, "they're not actually"

A large part of the 12th Doctor's arc was grappling with his Identity as a general, who fashions people into weapons and commands them, you can see this especially well in the interactions with Danny Pink, but it also starts being a theme during 11, and continues after Danny dies, in my opinion. But he too finds a way to leave it behind him, starts being a madman in a box (again)

And then 14 now. as these posts by @sarahwatchesthings and @rearranging-deck-chairs have described, the Doctor has always been like how he was during that scene where he put on the Judge's wig and cited intergalactic law

First the Doctor is sort of explicitly a law-maker. Then that is deconstructed and refuted

Then he's rather explicitly a general, and a president too even (though the presidency is mostly silly), which i'm choosing to represent the executive power, and he slowly learns to let that go

and now, they've made his position as a judicial power explicit with a literal wig and brief mock court.

you see where i'm going with this

i'd appreciate other people's thoughts on this meta (preferably not just. "hm don't like this", but like. nuance), especially as it's been a while since i watched 10's era, like, i wasn't even really thinking about themes when i did, and a shorter but still long amount of time since i watched 12, and i barely watched 13 at all so i cannot judge how these themes show up in 13's era

i watched Starbeast and, unexpectedly, I loved it!

I was expecting to hate it because of Tenant coming back and that forced nostalgia flavor. but it wasn't like that at all! true, 14 was quite a bit like 10 but.....idk. purer, in some ways? 10 definitely still has some of that post war mood, and definitely has a lot of that post Rose mood. 14 felt like he mostly healed from that and he's a different individual in the Doctor's timeline.

I LOVED Rose Noble. She's GREAT. I don't really have a lot to say about her, but I did relate to her a lot, even if she was just the tiniest little bit surface level normal girl. I kind of hoped she'd get on the TARDIS with the Doctor and Donna and I was kind of disappointed about that.....but I hope we see her again. Other characters were also very cool, felt in character.

DONNA. what's to say about Donna. there's a lot to say about Donna.

The Meep was super funny and I really hope we also see the Meep again! maybe in the past? idk idk :3 again, I was expecting the twist but it was still amazing, creature design is flawless, and was the Meep all practical effects? cause the Meep felt like a puppet, not any CGI and I'm pretty sure I saw some behind the scenes pictures of the Meep. sick

it was a great set up, a great comeback for RTD, Tennant and Tate and it really made me excited for what's coming. I'm still Very eager to see Gatwa's Doctor but I'm sure I'll be watching 14s series as well ;)

doctor who spoilers for wild blue yonder below >_<

THAT EPISODE WAS SO GOOD???? Those monsters were so fun and I loved the horror aspects brought in. The pacing was great, unlike um. starbeast. which felt very poorly paced. I loved how he handled talking about flux and the timeless child, not treating it like the doctor was the universe's most specialest boy, instead focusing on the doctor's grappling with the effects of flux and how he doesn't know where he's from/who he is. The episode wasn't perfect, but I liked it a lot!

ALSO WILF MADE ME CRY

A theory for future episodes after watching 'The Starbeast'

Under cut for spoilers:

At the end of the episode Donna and Rose choose to just 'let go' of their Time Lordiness. The Doctor has done things close to that before, like pouring their Time Lordiness into a fobwatch, or extra regeneration energy into their hand. I wonder if events leading to Fourteen's regeration will have them choose to 'let go' like Donna and Rose did. It would help defuse the weird gender essentialist line about male-presenting Time Lords being unable to do that. It would be a thematically fitting progression from the Tenth Doctor not wanting to go, to the Fourteenth choosing it.

They might even follow through with it to the next regeneration, and have Fifteen trying to navigate their life with the consequences of that. It's actually a situation I've always wondered about: what if the Doctor was cut off from their Time Lord abilities to sense the flow of time, or psychic connection to the TARDIS or other Time Lords. How would you feel about that, do you think that's likely to happen?
