The Amount Of Classic Who Bts Anecdotes Which Consist Of Special Effect Nearly Killing Someone, One Of

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

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’ve been collecting out-of-context crops of official dr who social media posts like Pokémon. Here’s what I’ve got so far they’re my most annoying reaction images

this time he died. because of reasons

yeah we put your girl in the fandom and they villainized her beyond comprehension. yeah sorry they took out all the nuance and made the argument completely black and white. yeah my bad. we can’t reverse it. sorry.

truly fifteen is the first doctor where i understand why everyone can't help but fall in love with them. like. their strange and earnest rizz is off the charts.

intense discussion going on at wikipedia

i really enjoy reading the doctor as an experiment in queer masculinity. he very often appears to be conventionally masculine on first appearances - but so often he subverts that. he can be violent, but he's against killing; he strives for peace, and remains a hero. he espouses kindness, compassion, acceptance - he's a scientist, not a military man. he keeps an open mind, and encourages understanding, even for that which most people think of as disgusting. he sees a dying insect, monstrous to human eyes, lethal to human bodies, and considers it beautiful. he dresses in a traditionally masculine manner, and yet his clothes are almost always a strange mix of styles, or several decades out of date. he's deeply rooted in victorian/edwardian fashion, which often just has the effect of turning him into a gay magician. he's often a towering, six-foot-plus, deep-voiced Authority Figure, and yet he is so gentle. sometimes he's queer in that he loves men, and kisses men, as someone adjacent to masculinity (true of practically all of his incarnations from eight onwards); sometimes he's queer in that he loves everyone, regardless of gender; sometimes he's queer in that he doesn't love anyone, and is an aromantic or asexual figure; sometimes he's queer in that he's detached from human or time lord understandings of gender; sometimes he's queer as in queer, as in weird. he's flamboyant. he's eccentric. he's your gay uncle. he can regenerate into bodies which humans are quick to identify as female, but throughout it all he seems to carry some vague inner sense of identifying with masculinity, but rejecting it in its conventional form. the doctor is queer, yes, capable of expressing himself in a whole array of ways, but more than that, he's queer and masculine. and i love that.

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.

dr. who is trying to open a door. alas; it will not open! but he hides the key and pretends it fits the lock and tells the keyhole very sternly that it matches the key and bam! the door flies open, whacking him in the face and breaking his nose. bloody academy party tricks
