true blue who canoe

With the 8 episode format Ncuti should've been the first modern Doctor to have the seasons main character developing arc be about HIM. We've just had a doctor forced to regenerate into the master and then a previous face, we've had years of explorations of the doctors inner darkness and past demons. Ncuti could've been a triumphant story of somebody who's been drowning in their own dark and dower history realise the future really is something new for them and they can be somebody who coexists with their trauma but embraces the new. He starts with fake smiles, forced joy, but over his tenure learns to love himself again. Conrads story could've played into this. Once again the doctor is forced to believe they're a boring human, but instead of mourning the possibility of an easy life with normal friends he's like NO!! I love being weird!! I love being different and alien and exploring and being kind wherever I can because no day is the same and I can make each the best one ever!! We could've had a doctor with a true inspiring arc and I miss him every day.

i love it when the daleks are like “we’re gonna discuss this in private” and then they move like 10ft away and start speaking in their regular speaking voices which is just screaming

"Doctor, we already fight gay aliens, we foiled the Master's plans three times just last week"

Was thinking abt how its funny that they named the Victorian character Victoria and then I remembered that James Robert "Jamie" McCrimmon was a Jacobite, and the word Jacobite traces its roots to Jacobus, which is the Latin variant of the name James

lacing my blood with poison so when those mosquitoes try to drink from me theyll be in for a nasty surprise

huh. guys i feel a little funny

Using the Flux as the Time War 2.0. and the Timeless Child as a way to reinsert "Doctor...who?" mystery into the series is very clever on RTD's part, and also makes it look worse that Chibnall's plan was just...to not do anything with them?

Reading over a post going "god, I wish Chibnall!Who was good. Anyway, I'm so glad RTD2 is here to fix things!" like it's an audio log in an abandoned space station about how turning on The Device won't do any harm

i love that whenever peter capaldi talks about matt smith he says “he was just so kind to me and he gave me his watch and said you’re the doctor now and it meant so much to me.” and from matt’s pov he was like “i panicked and gave him my watch i don’t know why”

Seventh Doctor rules because if you try to kill him he'll calmly talk you into a fugue state and erase your entire civilization from the Web of Time but if you give him a gentle shove he'll pratfall head-over-heels backwards down the stairs and land with his head in a bucket of water

Best pitch I've ever seen

Many of these suggestions are unironically good. Typical Delgado, starts out quite sensible and gradually becomes more and more unhinged as more pieces of his plan emerge.

The best thing to happen in The Reality War is still the Rani saying to Mel with 100% conviction "You thought of me every night." As if she's the source of all Mel's trauma and the haunter of her narrative, and not lucky if she makes it into Mel's top 10 monsters of the week. Hell, after Trial of a Time Lord she'd be lucky to make it into Mel's top 3 evil Time Lords. I'd be embarrassed for the Rani if she actually noticed how obsessed she sounds.
