I'm sorry but if you still think Ncuti was "overshadowed" by Tennant in that episode I really think you're just seeing what you expected to see. Confirmation bias is a hell of thing.
We have NEVER had a doctor appear earlier than the last 1-2 minutes of an episode that wasn't their official introduction. We got 20 more minutes of Ncuti than any doctor has had before.
The ENTIRE POINT of his being in those 20 minutes was to get people excited about Ncuti's doctor. It's not a secret viewership has been down, it's also not a secret people fucking love David and Catherine. They brought Ncuti in early compared to other regenerations and let his personality shine.
What other doctor has immeaditely known who they are after regeneration the way 15 did? He didn't spend half an episode lying in bed and the other half asking "what sort of man am I?" he was sure of himself from the word go and it's beautiful to see.
The whole thesis of these three episodes was from a production stand point was 1. Bring back David + Catherine to get people watching again 2. Remind them why they used to love Who with a classic creepy monster episode and then a Classic villain. 3. Get them to fall in love with Ncuti so they keep watching him.
If you think "overshadowing" Ncuti fits into that plan at all then you really don't understand what's going on here.

"Whereas Silver, I would think, for all of his openness and naivety... is hesitant to make new friends, because he's used to seeing them die. You don't want to make connections after a point, but he is also, y'know, clearly desperate to make connections, because he's a people person. He likes other people, he wants to be around other people, he wants to protect people." -- Ian Flynn, on Silver the hedgehog

the face of a man whose entire inner monologue is currently 'elim when will you learn that this is always always what happens when you think with your ajan'
"I can't believe I'm going to die surrounded by subpar human interior design and didn't even get laid for it. maybe Tain was right after all"

I'll run, run, run, and keep running as far as I have to!
And when things calm down, I'll quietly settle by their side again. Because... I'm Vash the Stampede.

Throwing bio facts into people's ask inboxes
Adélie penguins build their nests out of rocks, and will steal rocks from other adélie's nest to build theirs if they can't find good ones.
Penguins were my class' assigned animal in 2nd year of primary school, it was the year I became obsessed with them, thank you for the penguin fact I love it
I was gonna make a joke with the blorbos but remembered wan! already did it once so I looked it up and uh
they made Chuuya a whole 10cm (~4in) shorter here than in his intro page in volume 6, which says he's 160cm, but APPARENTLY the 3rd official guidebook ALSO says he's 150cm and I need someone to clear that up right now
