funky little doctor who sideblog

it's still killing me that the doctor and the master are canonically each other's emergency contacts. who gets your will when you think you're about to die oh right it's the guy that's been trying to kill you. for centuries

genuinely don't know what's funnier - the time lords continuing to offer the doctor the presidency and the doctor refusing it, or the one time they were like "hey come back and be president" and five was like "sure lemme just get something from the tardis first" then vworped away forever

we had Ncuti Gatwa as Dr Who and the show fumbled him harder than anyone has ever fumbled anything in the history of the world never forget that and never ever forgive russell t davies for that

wait i just realized how funny that everyone just calls the tardis 'the tardis' as if that's its name. yes hello this is my car it's my best friend its name is The Car

Thinking about regenerations and you know what, just once I’d like for a New Who regeneration to have the Doctor laying on the ground dying like in Classic Who instead of standing up and ready for these beams to shoot out. We got so close with The Doctor Falls and then Twice Upon a Time got forced in there. I would like to get some variation away from the constant golden beams as well but I know that’s too much to ask for so can I please at least just get ONE regeneration where the Doctor isn’t standing around waxing philosophical before exploding. I want that Time Lord on the GROUND. Generally speaking if you’re mortally injured and dying you’re gonna be on the ground.

Fifteenth Doctor you deserved to be the fourteenth Doctor and have a signature bonkers little outfit and a sonic that didn't look fucking stupid and two 20 episode seasons and you deserved to sound like a fucking crazy person every time you opened your mouth and for your manipulative behavior to be written with justice and for your Blackness to be celebrated instead of punished and you deserved a proper post regen introduction to star in on your own and scripts that didnt make you act horrendously out of character and you deserved a devastating yet satisfying regeneration story and you deserved to be the Doctor for three years at LEAST

the crazy thing about doctor who is that it really is the best show ever for 30 seconds at a time. you never know when those 30 seconds will be. sometimes they happen multiple times in a single episode and sometimes you wait years and years and years. and the best part is those 30 seconds are surrounded by the worst show ever, which is also doctor who

the funniest thing about actors who play multiple characters in dw is that sometimes they explain it and sometimes they just don't bother. like the twelfth doctor looks exactly like that one dude he met in pompeii two regenerations ago because he chose that face on purpose. martha looks exactly like some random girl who died at canary wharf because they're cousins. there are multiple distinct characters who look exactly like clara because she entered the doctor's timestream and all that weird sci-fi nonsense. but sometimes it's just like... the second doctor has an evil mexican doppelganger for no reason. there's a weird guy from alabama in the 60s who looks exactly like steven for no reason. there's like three different guys who are all mark gatiss
