i'm sorry but every person of the male species i have ever met who 'likes doctor who' does not understand it. they don't get the trauma. they don't understand how important the season 1-4 progression is in terms of the doctor's own character development. they cannot process how complicated the doctor's friendship was with martha or donna's insecurities, and how deeply they shaped her run on the show. they don't get rose tyler. they don't think the doctor loved her. men will say 'yeah haha rose liked the doctor'....... and that's it??? sir did you not watch the impossible planet or satan's pit?? did you skip when the doctor literally said she's his religion? did your ears stop working when he told martha "we were together" or when he told donna that rose was his family???? i'm sorry but season 1-4 doctor who is for the girls and the gays only. men ruin everything then make a 2 hour youtube commentary video on why tentoo is a "clone" I AM GOING INSANE

the doctor and rose are WILD because what do you MEAN she became bad wolf and almost died purely out of love for him? what do you MEAN he saved her with a kiss, an act of love? and died because of it? smiling at her and telling her that she was fantastic? and that ten then was MADE out of love for her???? what do you MEAN

I love how every time David Tennant plays literally any previously established character they just get a bit softer and a bit sadder and a bit more joyful and a bit more mentally ill

there’s something endlessly hilarious to me about the phrase “hotly debated” in an academic context. like i just picture a bunch of nerds at podiums & one’s like “of course there was a paleolithic bear cult in Northern Eurasia” and another one just looks him in the eye and says “i’l kill you in real life, kevin”

i've come to realize there are only two kinds of tragedies: preventable and inevitable. preventable tragedies are the kind where everything could have maybe worked out if only. if only romeo had gotten the second letter. if only juliet had woken up earlier. if only creon had changed his mind about antigone sooner. if only orpheus hadn't turned around.
inevitable tragedies are the kind where everything was always going to end terribly. of course macbeth gets deposed, he murdered his way to the throne. of course oedipus goes mad, he married his own mother. of course achilles dies in the war, he had to fulfill the prophecy in order to avenge his lover.
both kinds have their merits. the first is more emotionally impactful, letting the audience cling to hope until the very end, when it's snatched away all at once leaving nothing but a void. the second is more thematically resonant, tracking an inherent fatal flaw in its hero to a natural and understandable conclusion, making it abundantly clear why everything has to happen the way it does.

Okay I wasn't understanding people's anger with Izzy being killed off but now I do. He was an angry, disabled, queer man (the only one on the show) and once he completed his redemption arc and got better he was killed off (which imo felt very sudden and served no purpose to the plot). Izzy deserved a happy ending. To everyone that felt seen and represented by Izzy, I am so sorry that he was killed off.
But before we tell David Jenkins to 'fuck himself' (like I've seen some of you doing 👀) let's consider that we don't know for sure who decided killed him off (maybe it was David, maybe it wasn't) and the fact that Jenkins said "its basically a one-hour show that we're doing on a half-hour budget".
Yes, the season was rushed and too much was going on. But let's not blame Jenkins and the writers when they were only given a half-hour budget to work with and had to cram all this story into it. I think they did the best they could to give us fans a complete ending since there is no season 3 guaranteed. Max is mostly to blame for the quality of the season when they didn't give the cast and crew an appropriate budget to work with.
I am honestly worried about a season 3 after watching season 2. I personally feel that the story is done but I still have faith in Jenkins and the other writers if they do get a chance to make a season 3.
