So, You Know How We All Thought That That Energy Thing Was Definitely The Timeless Child For A Sec?

So, you know how we all thought that that energy thing was definitely the Timeless Child for a sec?

What if it was?

Not in the way that it IS the Timeless Child, but what if what we were seeing it as, was what The Doctor was seeing it as, is The Timeless Child?

Supposedly, the energy had a shield on it that makes you see something you are hardwired to want to protect. What if The Doctor was seeing themself there, because they are subconsciously struggling with both their own grief at their past, and their constant battle to protect themself from the grief of the present? Isn’t the one thing The Doctor does best protecting themself, from aliens or heartbreak?

Idk. I’m just being sappy. Chibnall’s a shit writer, but I can find angst potential in anything, and I will make it into my own poetry.

the Doctor has a really really thick Cadon accent and they occasionally slip into Cadon-dialect Gallifreyan and everyone gets really confused because even if Lungbarrow is a disgraced House it’s still a highbrow oldblood dynasty and millenia of good breeding has somehow given way to this half-feral little creature who can talk the most flexiloquent politician into a corner and yet does so in the Gallifreyan equivalent of a Gloucestershire farmer’s drawl???

i don't think the tardis has any kind of in-built dematerialisation mechanism for dangerous situations. i think she just has the philosophy of if it sucks hit da bricks and is so so scared all the time. so she leaves <3

that leela doesn't understand the phrase "chronic hysteresis" but does know what a time loop is implies to me that gallifreyan has scientific/non-scientific doublets somewhat akin to the latinate/germanic doublets in english. thus, leela knows damn well what the gallifreyan for time loop is, but romana using specific scientific vocabulary throws her off because it's not core vocabulary and she's simply never heard the term before

Regarding the new episode of DW, I'd like some advice.

My friend's a POC, and she watches Doctor Who; she's a bit behind at the moment, so when I see her tomorrow it's unlikely that she'll have seen the new episode.

Should I give her a head's up that it's very confronting at the end in a comment on racism? I think I should, because I was very confronted by it and she has much more reason than me to be upset, and I don't want her to be caught off-guard.

Please let me know if you have any thoughts.

Captain Jack Harkness in Doctor Who: hehe, it's the guy that flirts with everyone!

Captain Jack Harkness in Torchwood: isn't it ironic that the man who can't die is surrounded by death? isn't it funny that he runs away from the consequences just like the Doctor runs away from him? doesn't it kill you, Jack? doesn't it hurt?
