From the BAFTAs Staged-like skit with David and Michael :D <3 (here)

is there a field of study about like, the effect od time periods on music? like no yeah not the tempo necessarily, that's kind of like how we separate time periods into their own kind of genre. like 90s rock or classical compisers.

but like, a comparison between the 70s musical choices for Willy Wonka vs. modern 2023 Wonka. the lyrical choices, the timing on the songs, the themes, repetition, and situations they choose to go into song (in the case of a musical where plot affects all of these)

how about popular instruments in certain countries and time periods? any focus on certain romanticism, somber or slow music, drinking songs, chants for revolt, hidden meanings for certain political periods? that kind of stuff

the fact the new series of hypothetical isn’t allowed to talk about the pandemic just in case people forget it happened is genuinely the funniest thing i’ve ever heard

The face of a woman who has her best friend back, her memories back, an open UNIT job with 5 weeks holiday on a £120K salary, a husband, a daughter, a TARDIS… DONNA NOBLE YOU WON

David Tennant being a lifelong doctor who fan who was inspired by the show to act, becoming the Doctor and Ncuti Gatwa who watched David Tennant and was inspired to act, playing the doctor opposite David’s doctor is the most beautiful thing

i love that we're using any pronouns for the Fourteenth Doctor. she's our silly girl, he's our beautiful boy, they're our beloved alien

I'm like "do you two want to be alone?"

Things I noticed or simply liked while watching "The Star Beast" again:

Donna was inventing names for the mother of the random transphobic kid in her school days. "'Cause I remember she had lots of names at school. And I should know. I invented 'em."

This bit: "It is not my fault I lost my job" Sylvia looks at her. "Alright, it is my fault. But still." Coffee cup anyone?

Wilf having stopped talking about anything alien related in case it triggered Donna's memories.

"Who are you? What's your name?" "I'm just passing by."

"Gave away that lottery money." "Why?" "Because. (...) Just felt like the kind of thing he would do."

The Meep talking smugly in his throne. The Doctor: "I name this ship the Delusions of Grandeur."

The Doctor turning his head towards Donna and starting to think aloud and explain what's happening like old times.

Sylvia and Rose are holding each other in the elevator. And holding hands while they walk to the TARDIS at the end.

It's been said but, Donna calling The Doctor by his name unconsciously.

The Doctor cracking his fingers before starting to run around pressing buttons. And later on Donna doing the same before helping him.

The Doctor goes towards the glass raising his hands when the regeneration energy starts as if they wants to hold Donna while this is happening.

The Doctor knowing Donna's primary concern as she was dying was Rose and reassuring her that she was safe.

Sylvia's highest compliment is saying that Wilf would be proud.

Shaun and Rose look like they want to go into the TARDIS to help Donna. Meanwhile Sylvia is just tired and done. "I said so!"
