Not the Fifteenth Doctor info-dumping like crazy, calling Gallifrey “posh,” listing the Rani and the Bishop but not the Master, and then immediately asking Ruby to fly with them
The Master listening from their golden tooth:
The Master always bringing in diagetic music, (I Can't Decide, Hey Missy, Rasputin, etc) because they've always been a little miffed that THEY couldn't hear the non-diagetic theme music like the Doctor could.
Imagine your best friend swore up and down they could sometimes hear situationally relavent music. Yet you were stuck with a 4 beat pounding in your head or nothing.
Like sooooo unfair. Hand me the aux, I'm leveling the playing field
Can we take a second to appreciate that from John and Paul’s point of view they wondered off through their recording studio, found a piano with some funny looking notes floating above it, played a little tune a whim, gave each other a gay little side glance before the piano flew away into the next room followed by intense screaming and then their entire reality turned into a musical and they received no explanation for any of it?
Tho to be fair it was the 60s, they were probably high as a kite and were used to this kind of thing by now
the doctor was SUCH a funny little cunt this episode. canonically just landing in stranger's homes or hotels to steal milk. buying his own fan merch. critiquing vintage lesbian sexts. bullying the shit out of the north star. emotionally domming trev and then not even noticing he died. yelling "just live in the moment!" at someone who was freaking out about having only seconds left to live. not even offering his poor gf a ride in the tardis. "when the doctor's in the room it's Mansplain Central" at least he's self-aware lmfao
seeing a lot of "the episode was about social media and suddenly out of nowhere turned into a commentary on racism" THE WHOLE EPISODE WAS ABOUT RACISM. THE WHOLE THING. IT WAS ALWAYS ABOUT RACISM. from how white everyone was to lindy immediately blocking the doctor while only "sliding" ruby to them all being rich kids to lindy being appalled ruby and the doctor were in the same room to everyone saying they could "tame" the wild woods and "be pioneers". it was ALWAYS about racism.
yes the social media aspect ties into it bc racism is RAMPANT on social media. i specifically noticed how lindy made an effort to say how her clothes were sustainable and then turns around and commits microaggressions against the doctor. its the exact flavor of showboaty performative activism you see everywhere. just because you didnt notice it doesnt mean it wasnt there.
that was a fun little christmas special
i saw this:
and thought it would be fun to actually work that out. so
^^^ every doctor who episode in chronological order
(pls let me know if theres any mistakes! i got most of the info from the tardis wiki so idk if its 100% accurate)
wait we still don't know who grabbed the tooth
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
I’ve been trying to change this to a secondary blog please help. (Any pronouns)
