I didn’t expect to be so happy after the specials. I went into them expecting tragedy. Donna dying. The Doctor losing someone—failing to save them—yet again. I wasn’t prepared for a happy ending. I wasn’t prepared for the Doctor being freed from their pain and suffering. Getting to have a rest from everything they have been through. Being held by himself and being told that it’s okay, everything will be alright. I never expected that just for once, everybody would get to live, including the Doctor.

I have some….. harsh(?) words for rtd.
I miss when Doctor Who was scrappy. Where the working class was at the forefront of our story. Where the hero had a broken time machine and one shitty little gadget that only sometimes could do anything useful. When the TARDIS was cobbled together with glue sticks and a dream.
Rose as a story worked because it was paired down. ALL of good DW works when it’s paired down. The stakes aren’t the whole world or the whole universe ending. The charm and the stakes both come from the same place— focusing on the characters, and making their problems the central focus. Blink was stunning because the world wasn’t in danger, just Sally Sparrow, and for 40 minutes of runtime, she was the focus of the viewer’s world.
The “base under siege” episodes work because it matters just as much to us that the Doctor gets the crew to safety as it would if the whole universe were in danger.
Even Utopia works because while being a high-stakes-for-humanity episode, it’s focused heavily on each character, and on concepts, not flashy visuals and dramatic build ups with no payoff. Utopia has exactly the right level of stakes for the story it’s telling, and the twist at the end delivers because it’s on that same level.
Ncuti is phenomenal. He and Millie are the only reason I’m sticking around (with s14, not with DW. I metaphorically sold my soul to this show a long time ago and that’ll never change) and watching each new episode with the hope that it’ll get better. But good gracious we do not have a lot of substantial evidence to back that hope up right now, lol.
The dialogue is hollow because we don’t sit with any characters long enough for their emotional moments to hit home. These brilliant actors can’t even save the scripts they’re being given.
I liked Rouge so much because it felt so bottled within its own episode. The stakes seemed so low, and it was fun and campy and the energy was electric. But I’m disappointed all over again with the Marvel-ization of the show in the newest episode. We saw it in the 60th specials, and it’s back swinging again in TLORS.
We don’t want Stark Tower SHIELD UNIT and their big flashy technology to save the day. The Doctor running straight to UNIT for help at all was crazy to me.
Part of me got so excited when Death was revealed as the big bad. The deluded part of my brain immediately thought we’d get a paired down concept of Death, like in the Big Finish Master audio drama. And I still really hope that happens, or is at least a little bit alluded to. (or maybe not. maybe i want to write that story myself some day when i’m in the damn writers room for this silly perfect show) But as soon as they got my hopes up, they got dashed again five seconds later when it became evident how overpowered and goofy and trope-y our big bad is shaping up to be.
RTD shines when he’s writing characters full of hope and wonder and a need to see the stars. Moffat shines when he’s writing twisted little think pieces that show the indomitable human spirit. Both of them have had my heart and changed my life with their writing. And right now I need them both to take a back seat and pass the baton. Russel keeps trying to outdo himself, and it’s all become too grandiose.
We need a writer in that room that doesn’t care how The Doctor is going to save the world next, but instead, cares about how he’s going to save that one person right in front of him, who needs his help, now.

every new episode makes the headcannon that 14 and Donna are just chilling somewhere so much funnier.
Donna and 14 being suspiciously absent for years when everybody abandoned Ruby just thinking “not my problem” is funny
Now just imagine Donna and the Doctor sipping mojitos on a beach whilst Rose, Donna’s teenage daughter, is getting into all sorts of alien shenanigans with a freaking god of death at UNIT
#I know Donna also probably works at unit but where is she#Is 14 the deadbeat doctor#Just kidding he needs all that time for therapy#Just to be clear I’m glad 14 isn’t turning up in this season but the best explanation we have for his absence is so fucking funny#Not implying that Donna doesn’t care for her daughter#It’s just really funny how 14 is just parked there#I like to imagine they are just so hilariously oblivious to all these going ons#doctor who#dw spoilers#14th doctor#15th doctor#donna noble#ruby sunday#rose noble

Do you know what’s the most unrealistic part of Doctor Who? (in like every Christmas special)… the snow
I’m sorry my friends but it rarely if ever snows in England, especially in London. (Yes, it does snow more up in the North of England but not as much as people seem to think it does)
Doctor who is a sci-fi show, there will be ‘unrealistic’ elements to it, that’s the nature of the show. I can suspend belief for aliens, but snow in England? That’s far too fantastical
#dw spoilers#dw#doctor who#doctor who spoilers#I just find it funny#I’ve spoken to friends in other countries who legit think we get snow over here#sorry to disappoint#but it doesn’t happen as often as you think#and our snow isn’t the sort you’d find in colder countries#it’s more icy than fluffy#my dad jokingly calls our snow ‘white rain’#and he would be correct in that statement

I think “73 Yards” is definitely RTD’s best episode since “Midnight”, and it might even be BETTER than “Midnight”? Jury’s out on that one, but whatever.
Also this almost feels like another “Turn Left” kind of story. Like. This is significant SOMEHOW, but unlike “Turn Left” it isn’t OBVIOUS what’s significant about it.
This is Ruby living out her life, but also a timeloop. But also not? Ish? Idk.
And also she stops being able to make it snow? Almost like traveling with the Doctor kind of activated the snow thing? I’ve been very open about my theory that Ruby isn’t human, that she’s maybe just disguised as a human. And maybe the Doctor is (however inadvertently) bringing out the not-human parts of her? And so, not being able to travel with him anymore quiets that part of her again, and she’s Just Human for the rest of her life.
But she stopped the Doctor breaking the ring. The story goes on. And I guess we’ll see what happens next.
#doctor who#73 yards#dw spoilers#series 14#ruby sunday#doctor who theorizing#skye rambles about things#i am like buzzing with something#my brain is trying to figure this out and failing#god I hope the ending isn’t a copout and makes sense and satisfies

50th anniversary: “I know where I’m going, where I’ve always been going— home. The long way around.”
60th anniversary: “You changed your face, and then you found me… do you know why?” “No.” “To come home.”
You did it, Doctor. You made it.
#done with processing the specials and lurking#ready to post about stuff now#I will be crying tears of joy for a million years over this#also:#home isn’t always a place. sometimes it’s people.#doctor who#dw spoilers#dw specials#dw 60th

something something about symbols. the episode began with everyone making a tangible symbol of their loss and their friendship w fcg. everyone agreeing that they can look at that and make that feeling tangible.
then a few hours later laudna is bleeding profusely after accidentally damaging orym, and is deeply upset by the fact that he is, to her knowledge, proudly wielding the one of the biggest symbols (and cause) of her own (second) death.
they try to tell her, “well it’s just a sword. it’s just a symbol.” it doesn’t matter because orym has suffered more loss in this situation. laudna can’t be upset by the sword because she uses the help of ‘dark forces’ , you know the lady who killed her and she has no visible escape from? it doesn’t matter that orym has also made a deal/pact with a morally ambiguous power because laudna is obviously the one in the wrong here.
honestly laudna is a much more patient person than i would have been in that situation. and i think she deserves to go a bit ape shit over the hypocrisy of symbols.
#critical role#laudna#cr spoilers#dw this isn’t actual hate i just REALLY loved last nights episode and laudna remains the character of all time to me 💖💖
