The Billie Paul's Scrapböka

Listen. Future showrunner, whoever you are. I need you to understand one thing, and it’s actually really simple.

Fans. Love. The Doctor. Not just ‘the Doctor’ in general. We love the version of the Doctor they are right now. We love the person they are with this particular face and personality.

Most people don’t appreciate losing a loved one, even just a fictional character, without warning, for shock value and spectacle and fucking online engagement.

Doctor Who is a comfort show and a life companion and a thing that gets you through bad days and months and years. Don’t be a shitty little guy giggling and rubbing hands because you managed to ‘leave the kids reeling with shock’ by killing off a character who’s supposed to be a beacon of hope. That doesn’t make the show exciting. It makes the character cheap.

25 yo David Tennant in Quality Control

came back and was hyped by everyone and then wrote crap episodes

completely screwed over Ncuti Gatwa

brought back Billie Piper, an interesting choice considering he doesn’t and probably never knew where the show was going and obviously had little to no plans at all for when she was actually back to justify it

confirmed a Christmas special everyone was waiting and watching for and then cancelled it without ever even bothering to try actually writing a script

only ever confirmed a Christmas special in the first place to let fans know there would be more Doctor Who coming despite it “going on tender” and probably wouldn’t be back for years, giving fans false hope (“welcome back wilderness era,” we all say completely dejected and monotone because WHO THE HELL WANTS THE WILDERNESS ERA BACK)

leaves the show in an even bigger mess than how he found it.
