who’d nyave sonic :3

"no actor was ever approached to play the next doctor" ncuti gatwa literally regenerated into billie piper onscreen.

wake up. doctor who’s corpse is still warm. guess i’ll eat breakfast while it’s lying there.

my feeling with regards to the billie piper cliffhanger was like 'well it's stupid but i suppose if this is what it takes to secure the show's ongoing existence it will be worth it'. consequently i now feel comfortable saying: that was simply fucking stupid wasn't it

anyways, I'm still so angry over that Deadline article about Disney nuking Ncuti Gatwa's era of Doctor Who because of "woke" (not even kidding), because they received "overwhelming" feedback that the show was "too woke" for international audiences. It will never not piss me the fuck off how woke was/is literally aave for being politically aware that's been so co-opted by white establishment conservatives that this bastardised co-opted colonised concept of "woke" is now weaponised against Black people, people of colour and other marginalised people to justify casting us down and out. A literal fuckinf alien was played by a Black gay actor and old white people lost their shit and now a 60 yr old show is basically dead because some white people hated they weren't being directly pandered to. I'm never not gonna be pissed the fuck OFF

Hey, people in the comments who said I was wrong about the show being dead because I could see the writing on the wall months ago....well, now there's the official announcement. I really hope that no one ever forgets that Doctor Who was cancelled because of anti-Blackness, racism, and corporate greed.

hey, dont cry modern doctor who fans, 159 classic who episodes, 517 books, 1952 audio stories, 1267 comics ok?

At least Christopher Eccleston got what he wanted

With the announcement of at least a two year break between the last episode and the next season and the fact it has no year of release. May I suggest we rerelease ‘Doctor in Distress’?

Humm. Now I’m genuinely considering this. Never done music work before or anything at all but I’m thinking about it.

russell t davies i hope u never know peace

Everyone make a doctor who oc and play extra hard with it right now.

next dw showrunner should beg for ncuti back and the only acknowledgement of the regeneration is a throwaway "what, babe, never had a little narrative breakdown before?"

(and you could still use all these to fix the regeneration problem by having the Doctor be gifted or accidentally absorb a bunch of regen energy while trying to either fix the problem or find info -- which imo is more in character anyway)

I haven’t seen any real arguments as to why dhawan! would come before missy so I could still probably be convinced, but truly I can’t think of anything that would fuck up missy and simm!’s scenes in the doctor falls more than simm! not turning into missy when he dies. That’s like. The whole point.

Oooh OR spyfall is an unrelated 2ep at the start of the season that’s the Master testing these companions — throwing the Doctor back through time so they have to work on their own — and then the finale is this, with the gap in between being because they beat him to hard and he had to escape & recuperate first lol

Watching the timeless child ep rn if it isn’t obvious and I’m actually making myself mad that this isn’t canon jdnsbdvdv. Think about it man. Heist ep first of all, the best kind of episode ever, AND tentative-ally Master adding tension and complicating things near the end with a betrayal AND companions on Gallifrey for the first time in I don’t even know how long maybe ever WHILE solving the regeneration problem & giving an excuse to not have the Doctor go back anymore (fugitive again). Literally what more could you want.
