"my truth is in the stars"

Joking aside, I hope the bbc takes this as a lesson that relying on nostalgia all the time isn’t a good thing and they actually start to give new people a chance to tell fresh stories.

me campaigning to be the next dw showrunner: and I promise not to bring back david tennant

and I promise on my life never to bring back rose tyler

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

So the thing you have to understand about doctor who the movie 1996 is that it isn't good. But it is the best film ever made. It has little to no outstanding qualities as a narrative and is such a wild read of doctor who that if you replaced a few proper nouns throughout it would just be a regular bad sci-fi movie. The fact the series survived it is the reason i'm not worried about canon or the shows future in the slightest. The pitch for it consists of some of the most insane lore retcons i've ever seen in my life, and the only major one to make it into the movie is generally considered so out of left field that people refuse to acknowledge it to this day. Literally nothing matters. The master is goo and also a lizard, seven gets gunned down in the street, paul mcgann is the first doctor to canonically get bitches. There's a motorcycle chase. Bad 90s cgi. the regeneration is a frankenstein reference. its camp. eight has his dogs out. it is somehow more american than you would expect. it features by far the best rendition of the main theme in the shows history. Who fucking cares man. 11/10

the young and despondent nuwho fan who believes that dr who only exists when its currently airing on tv vs the wise classic who fan who knows that doctor who exists all the time, constantly, and you'll never be free of it just because the bbc pull the plug vs the enlightened eu fan who knows that doctor who actually manages to somehow exist More when the bbc take it off television

new tennant series announced... (but (please let it be so) not actually releasing before gallifrey)
