not ignoring canon nor strictly adhering to it, but a secret third thing (taking the small bits and crumbs canon barely spent time developing and running absolutely hogwild)

I don't think dr who is getting cancelled but you have to admit generating hype for an announcement only to say "we're pulling the plug" would be kind of hilarious

for christmas we're deleting the entire show. tally ho you teaboo shits

Genuinely funny that the last piece of Doctor Who TV media released before this hiatus is newly recovered episodes from the 60s!

I guess it's poetic that he revived it AND killed it

it's pride month and they killed doctor who

also: it is an objectively true fact that there are more avenues for fans to contribute to licensed dr who media now than there ever have been in the show’s history, regardless of whether the current moment becomes a “second wilderness years” or not. Do not let nostalgia for a time I Know many of you were not around for fool you—the pool of authors for the VNAs and EDAs were tiny compared to the amount of new writers big finish alone is bringing in. It wasn’t populist, it wasn’t The Fans taking Control, it was a few specific fans (overwhelmingly white and male fans with a very narrow view of what doctor who is or should be) taking direction from editors who ultimately reported to the BBC. It may not seem like it but we have been in a great time for fan labor being recognized and compensated by the bbc for a while.

apparently the correct response to oh no doctor who is over isn't "woagh i can't wait for the tv twovie 😍"

Meanwhile, in unrelated news, I hope Christopher Eccleston is having the best day ever.
