“ap Gwilliam Was The Worst Prime Minister” Doctor. Babe. I Know Why You Don’t Tell Your Companions

The dw fandom is so vast and thr vibes are so different that modern who fans are like "top 10 theories about how the TIME WAR made Satan bible afraid" and wilderness years fans are sweating in a corner frantically trying to connect uncle winky's wonderland to faction paradox with red string on a giant conspiracy board

Donna should get the Doctor's number and be allowed to call the TARDIS randomly in future episodes for no reason. never aliens. no more aliens for Donna. always just some bullshit like "my mum told me the pink blouse makes me look washed out????" and the Doctor has to be like "girl! she's crazy! but also I'm actively being shot at right now so I will have call you back"

I mean, I kind if just assumed that there would be??

Because surely they wouldn't fumble the ending THAT badly without trying to give it closure. I mean, if they're trying to keep Tennant for the Christmas special (which is what I'm assuming they're aiming for), it makes sense that they'd use the Christmas special to A) finish Tennant's arc, B) have a 2nd regeneration for funsies, and C) tie up loose ends by killing Tennant once and for all.

I was just assuming that the 'bigeneration' thing was a bit of a fakeout, kind of like Tennant's other fakeout regen when he was shot by a dalek that one time.

Does the whole 'bigeneration' thing as an introduction for Ncuti Gatwa make anyone else feel icky? Because I definitely feel like they did Gatwa dirty with a botched transition between regenerations because people are getting a liiiiiiittle too nostalgic with the whole RTD/Tennant thing.

Tennant is a brilliant actor, and I'm not trying to downplay everything he's done for the show, but by leaving Tennant alive, they robbed Gatwa of an introduction that shows respect to his iteration of his character, instead leaving him to be the Random New Person while The Real Doctor is yet to come into the completion of his arc.

It's just a disappointing diversion from giving Gatwa's Doctor the focus and development he deserves.

if i was like an average guy on galifrey and every day i put on my stupid little hat and my scholars robes and got on the Time bus to go to my minimum wage particle accelerator engineering job and i got the telepathic presidential alert that doctor frankenberry and count chocula were once again contesting the fate of our planet to drag out their divorce proceeding. probably i would also be a little high strung

official bbc doctor who instagram you are insane for this actually

I know I've talked about this before, but I love the idea of the doctor and the master regenerating together in mysterious circumstances, and having the audience be kept in the dark about which one's which for an episode or three
