Ryan (Doctor Who fan)

one thing i’ve noticed during the rtd2 era is fans trying to come up with convoluted theories to make rtd’s plots make sense and/or be good. every time i see one of those posts, i really wonder just how much thought you think he puts into these plots? the same man who says he had no plan for mrs flood and writes things for engagement? you guys think he’s smarter than he is, and then act surprised when the episodes turn out bad. come on

"why are you still watching doctor who if you don't like it?" because i love doctor who? because i would really like to see it do interesting things? i can be critical of it and enjoy it!

One thing though, I hope the girl who plays Poppy doesn’t get harassed about this in the future. She’s not in charge of writing the scripts for the show and she is quite literally a toddler who wouldn’t have had the ability to assess if she liked a script nor turn down roles. If in 3-5 years people start harassing her about this they are beyond moronic

billie piper returning isn’t an awesome feminist moment or “haunting the narrative” or the story going full circle. It’s keys being jingled in front of our faces like babies

From what I know (and this is mostly rumors) it feels to me like RTD wanted an actor he knows will work with him (it seems like relations between Ncuti and the BBC deteriorated like they did with Eccleston. That's only rumors though)

studies reveal 99% of classic doctor who fans quit theorizing some random woman is the rani just as theyre about to be proven right

Guys i have a question about the doctor, you know when you feel your heart beat on your wrist? so does the doctor feel his hearts like the right heart on the right wrist and left heart on the left wrist or the two hearts on both wrist's? like two veins for both hearts, this is banging on my brain since yesterday

Both hearts can be heard on either wrist, Time Lords can feel each others wrists to determine other people are Time Lord's

I cannot believe the doctor who fandom has spent the last twenty full years clowning that Susan and the Rani are going to come back and then they both turn up IN THE SAME EPISODE

You can never experience watching your favourite show for the first time again, but you CAN convince someone else to watch your favourite show and vicariously enjoy all their raw reactions to seeing it for the first time, which is honestly nearly as good.

everyone always acts so aghast about the whole “the doctor kidnapped his first companions!” thing which yeah obviously terrifying from ian and barbara’s pov but you really gotta look at it from the angle of “guy who just ran away from home comes across someone breaking into his car and in a panic locks the doors hits the gas and now they’re all very very lost” and then it becomes hysterical

It wouldn’t surprise me if the Doctor has found all sorts of unorthodox uses for their extensive bow tie collection since regenerating. I am of course referring to things like tying up machinery, organizing cables in the TARDIS, or like a bookmark. but you can come to your own conclusions
