That moment you realise your about to get new Jodie content and it might even be sapphic:

🥳💃🏻🥰

That moment you realise it’s because all of 13 and Yaz’s content is over and the end of their story wasn’t exactly what you were hoping and now never will be:

😭🙍‍♀️💔

The only way the true extent of the Flux could be felt was by losing a character… can’t believe it was Yaz who lost a companion though. I really love Flux. It’s amazing what Chibs and the team were able to give us considering the state of the world at the time. So thankful they pushed through and we got it.

characters in the thirteenth doctor’s era: professor eustacius jericho i’ve lived more in my time with you than i did during the previous two decades. who has had a life like mine?

reactions to dw s13e04+05 (unfiltered and unorganized)

-really glad for that previously on now kdljfs -hehe, phone booth. -1967! second doctor era is happening rn! -this is so stressful lol i hate it def gets that old clumsy science horror into your skin -the director person smoked some good crack for this episode... just look at that shot from inside the console wiring... damn. i dont think anyone had ever done that before. -ive got really dry eyes -YAZ IS SO SMART -did anyone else blinked when they did -the fun thing with the angels it trying to keep your eyes open along with the characters lol liek when characters hold their breathing and you try to play the scene along too. -or ... is that weird... am i the only one that does that lksdjf -"we dont even know if we are" dw gets philosophical. -THEY ARE THE USING THE TARDIS AS IT SHOULD BE USED BACK THENNN -yeah... the directing is very very in this episdoe lsdkjf it-s almost a little distracting... -13 is so cute i love her so much!!!! I LOVEH ER SO MUCH -FLAT TEAM STRUCTURE!!!!!!! (they're always lying about that but I love the continuity lol) -lots of the characteristics 13era flux era @blue and golden@ coloring in this one. -that's peggy? -psychic paper i missed you -some set design conventions should maybe be questioned. in this instance it makes it seem like mr. dr. jericho has an obsession with lamps lol -"not unless you play george eliot's rules. she allows them" flash headcanon: maybe the doc isn't just doing the same obnoxious namedropping as always maybe she just -knows that from wikipedia or "historical fan sites". -MADAM EXPLAIN YOURSELF -im flipping between liking eustacius and being very distrustful of eustacius -oh damn angel!clare. that's a cool effect. -vibes to the woman getting possesed by the dalek in that other special? recurrent theme? -shut up cop!yaz :l -"she's a ten year old girl, how much is there to know?" dslkff not inaccurate to how adults were back then. -they should take turns blinking....... -oh shit -too late. -floating canals of pasano -the aesthetics of bel's and vinder's story is so gooodddd. so expanded universe-y. -did-u-know: on neopets there was a special species of pet called lutari that you needed to downlaod a -phone game to buy. mind u this was way before smartphones and even this was before the blackberry. -in the end they released them to the public so they weren't that special anymore lol -climate change meta #29: water feature towns will be the first to go. -"life parthner" .... not to be an nmd but why not just say "husband"  or "partner" dskljf -this episode is so easy to follow compared to the rest so far. cant wait to for things to go batshit again lol -this space venitian guy is not trustworthy either. -haven' you people ever heard of CLOSING THE GODDAMN DOOR -this episode must have been very fun to film lol almost a stop motion film -jericho called her ridiculous but at least he did listen to her lol -not an episode for the frail of  jump-scares thirteen has chemistry with all the women -the tiny ping pong padel dslkfj -21st novemeber. -im noticing now that thirteen is always a lot less mean to temporal companions than her fixed ones. like -all the way to the tesla and ada episodes... i know we used to think it was mostly about her just bonding -with weird characters like her, but now i think it is not only that but also like... maybe something to do -with her only wanting to connect with this kind of, "one night stands", so to speak? and kind of -purposely sabotaging her relationship with the fam to avoid being hurt again (well ok that much is a known fact already dlkf). -who is clare though? where's my character building sdlkjf -oh clare dont worry abotu the dust tha happens to me all the time when i wake up from a long nap. -"when do you think it is?" "and there's a strong possibility that the angels sent her too, so she'll be worried" yaz is so smart!!!! -dan looking at chickens and being like "no dinosaurs" i see what u did there nerds lol -i suspected it as soon as we saw the old woman with the tombstones that she was peggy but now i -strongly suspect it -lol they did well casting this girl. fuck that's a great visual!!!! this is definetly a serial man. -"47 years of pain, Gerald" -it would have been cool if they did the angel more sketchy- the fire effect was f -ok but ldskfjsd ... the more they stretch this dumb ass "the image of an angel becomes an angel" rule the more ridiculous their lore becomes. even if it makes for fire effects is like... ok so like, what constitudes an "image" of an angel? if you take photographs and reproduce them, are they all angels? why havent -they taken over the earth then ksdljf seems very easy to do in the age of social media and viral images. and what if you just "think" about them like clare did??? why isnt the doctor making up angels all the time with how many encounters she's had with them????? -(i may or may not be biased against this... one of my least favorite monsters in the canon.... dlksjf) -why is jericho getting so much development and we still don't know the first thing about clare... i dont like it... -YESSSS OH MY GOD SHE'S GONNA DO THE CONTACT THING!!!! OH MY GODDDD that said i think this is the first time in the doctor's life they've ever asked permission to do it lmao. progress or just a random flux (ey) of common courstesy? -CONTACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -damn that's beautiful -... i really love thirteen. i love jodie. she's made some amazing scenes. pls dont let this next comment dispute that love .. ..  damn this "social distancing / greenscreen" acting does no do her favours sometimes dslkjfdkl -the mystery building in this episode has been really weak tbh. -OHHH SHITTT  THATS HER -"oh, praise the stars! ... the non-existent stars..." -ohhhh no.... -the passanger  "soul-feeing" mechanic reminds me of an anime i saw once but i cant pin point which one -sdlkfj -i love she -belle picking up her own companion lol -ENOUGH QUESTIONS, DAN -rip gerald and jan... they had it coming though lol -"i have a friend, and she'll sort this. she always does" oh no, yaz... honey... -this episode is really draining me lksdjf -the most appealing thing about jericho is his name -themes  IRL meta #40: there is something interesting here about he tv and like, attenion econmies, alienation and how it affects the phyche... and also "you are observed and that is my power over you" as the strenght of science... also isnt there something in quantum physics about "observation" literally affecting the thing it obeserves? so not only can they become images but they can create the images as well... ok. ok -did we really need 40 minutes of fluff just to get to the good part (The division questioning) dsklfj division uses "every moment".... hmm... -the way it switches to "division" and "the division" seems like a clue as well. like it's both organization and more like a natural phenomon. -this episode is really showing how under-baked the WA lore is to begin with. like the doctor is being so prejudiced against this rogue angel, but from what we supposedly know... they don't really act out of malice? they're more like animals in the time-savanah that unfortunately have a very painful way of feeding. but they don't have schemes of world domination or genocide or mass-lobotomization so it seems a bit weird that the doctor, on paper, would show no compassion for such creatures. but she has to act like that / be written like that because they're "supposed" to be "the monsters of doctor who(tm)" :/ ... it's all so against science-fiction principles for developing alien cultures / species... -also honestly this set up so silly. like sdlkfj. this weeping angel division-pedia kidnaps clare to blackmail -the doctor so she will help her stop the angels but like... it's the godamn doctor. she was gonna do that anyway dslkjf. the blackmailing was just unecessary. -"including the ones taken from you" another dark!variation of thirteenth's theme! #segunmoments -"sorry, threw a cup at you" -oh! i noticed those floor plans! good chekov's gun. -reverse the polarity of the neutron flow~*~*~ -"i think there  are angels in the walls here" "of course there are, why wouldnt there be"--- this feels like -the entire process for writting this episode (or any WA episode) -i kneeew itttt -that was maybe too obvious lol -ok so they can also transport by stone. sure. why not. let's just keep making hem more broken lol -im so tired of them trying to making us like this guy. is so transparent. -oh so thatt's why the plan was dumb lol. it was trapppp -this confrontation scene is a high time for Teh Scronché (tm) "You are recalled" HOLY SHIT FINALLY!! STUFF HAPPENING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -AHHH -predictable yaz reaction is predictable sldkfjlskdf -damn, cool transformation sequence.   -omg CREDIT INTERRUPTIONS WHAT. -ok im just gonna say it.... space venetian's guy's acting... .. . not the strongest sdfjlkf -PARALLEL TO YAZ AND THIRTEEN GETTING SEPARATED TO THESE TWO BEING SEPARATED -those two are such nerds

well... it was overall a well-realized, visually stunning episode... but i was kinda bored the whole time :/ ... i think the reasons were that: a) the world of the town and clare didnt feel as "live in" or imainative as other ones we've seen in flux. and b) the lack of doctor o/ companion interactions set it down my stimations too. and c) it didnt really feel like a flux story? besides the little vignette with in space venice,  it could have been inserted any other season. all that said, the last 3 minutes almosssst made up for all of that sdkljf

AND WE ARE TIME." -I was at first kinda underwhelmed by their plan to use people as a power source bc from all aspects, electrically, chemically, etc. people must be a really shitty power source compared to so many other things. Howeverrr.... maybe this functions like Clara's leaf? you know, using the "potentiality" of teir futures that are taken from them? it's a bit of a watsonian explenation that probably isn't true (compared to the doylist one that was "the writers just wanted something that sounded evil" lol) but y'know, i think it could be cool to interpret it like that, mixing that bit of lore with this... -oh shi they were part of the flox all this time!! - OH THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED THE DIVISION!!! (I thought it could have been something to do withthe space between atoms but this is super cool too) -THE DOCTOR GETTING DISTRACTED BY THE COOL SCIENCE ADKLJFDS -FUCKING TYPICAL.... i love them T_T -I was wondering about this!!! ever since the first episode it was so suspect that they never mentioned the multiverse when they talked about "the end of the universe". Aghh, I love this serial guys. It's been so clever in hinting things by suspectfully ignoring them. -oh no, the V-word...... -"what sort of virus?" "You"  LMAO SHE LOOKS SO OFFENDED I DIED -"You got out from division, and you couldn't leave the universe alone. You know, I blame myself a little but, mostly, I blame you.

I think that's why this UNIT origin stuff is so damn satisfying sdlkfj 'cause not only is it cool in itself,  but it was *also* super suspect that after all the mythological work that's been done in the entire expanded universe of doctor who to show earthlings fighting back against threats and even seeing them before the doctor does (both UNIT and Torchwood constantly, plus sometimes old companions doing it) it was so suspect that this aspect wouldn't come up again in the apocalypse. - LETHBRIDGE STEWART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -"HE'S A SHOUTER, BUT HE'S VERY GOOD" -TARDIS!!!!!!!!!!!!  (are they referencing a particular story?) -"it does look... special" the shade lmao -"my god, general, you really are a fool" i like this guy now dkslfj so much shade in every sentence. -RIP. UNIT boss #1 -(their first boss dying foolishly~ like that tho... not be mean but... #onbrand) -oh, that's why it's called the grand serpent. -(Boreal in HDM vibes? lol) -the division probably uses and discards oods like this all the time... -i mean im loving this but... it does seem like a fairly complicated plan just to get the doctor in one place sdkljfdklsjf if the division is All That maybe they could have, idk lured her into a big cardboard box with some jammie dodgers on a string...? -(but maybe the point is that thid is all kind of irrational?) -THE MASTERRR!!!!!! dslkjf honestly this is all his fault. thank you master for this amazing serial. u did awesome sweet you can have that little murdering-of-all-of-gallifrey, as a treat <3 -climate change meta#3948: the timeless  child represents the mistreatment of refuges? (probably hinting at the child being lost as being the victim of something the division/the time lords might have done in the first place? maybe by warring war on a distant ancient galaxy?) -time lords are colonizers meta #43928390´+3498: "You took something that didn't belong to you" "(laughs) I *rescued* you" -"what if, what if, what if" "you denied my life!"

You know what’s incredibly annoying about RTD lovers who are Chibnall haters?

The fact that they like to say that Chibs ran the show into the ground never acknowledging that Chibs ran the show with the least amount of funding and with the biggest BBC/Pandemic restrictions while RTD during his 2 tenures has gotten to run the show with the biggest amount of budget and no world wide pandemic that almost threatened to destroy the whole industry. Nor do they ever acknowledge the fact that the BBC/Disney talks started when Chibs was still in charge which means Disney clearly didn’t have any problems with how the show was going for the last 5 years otherwise they probably wouldn’t have been interested in injecting the amount of money they clearly have into it. What Chibs had to keep the show going vs what RTD has is night and day and would have been way harder for Chibs and yet he did it and we all still have Doctor Who.

Running a huge sci-fi enterprise is way easier when you have more money and you aren’t restricted and having to worry about staff getting sick and possibly dying. The pandemic was real. Budgets are real.

I know a lot of people feel like Yaz’s departure either was a bit flat or out of character because she would never leave the Doctor and my feeling towards it for months has been that I’m unsure how I feel about it. I love the episode but Yaz leaving at the end after ice cream 50 metres from the TARDIS was a bit jarring.

There’s the ending I would have wanted. But I knew that wouldn’t happen. But there could have been an ending between what I would have wanted and what we got. I do think there could have been a bit more, Ryan and Graham at least got hugs and some physic papers. I know the Doc had regeneration energy which could be dangerous but they were holding each other and then sitting next to each other while the doc was lighting up so I don’t think there’s a good reason not to hug at a minimum. So that’s a bummer. (side note: did Yaz have no personal items on the TARDIS? Lol, she left without a bag)

But I don’t think it’s out of character that she did leave. It obviously wasn’t her active choice to leave, we all know she wouldn’t just leave the Doctor for anything but the active decision she made was to respect the Doctors wishes to do the next part alone. And I think her respect for the Doctor would trump her pushing to stay, she knew this was their end and her last decision was to give the Doctor what she wanted, not to fight her. And that’s so Yaz. She may often question the Doctor but ultimately she always listens and does as the Doctor asks even when it hurts because she trusts the Doc is doing the right thing.

[13thdoctorposts]

Since I post about 13 era DW I thought I’d do the dw positivity drive post with a short (for me) detailing about what I love. (I could go into each of these with far more detail but I’ll spare you in this post. Lol)

The 13th Doctor - Terribly deals with trauma just like us humans, and is so relatable with that, but has just a deep love of humans and her companions that she will often put her trauma aside to give her companions incredible experiences and adventures. Her ability to find joy in tiny things despite that trauma. She is a joy on screen. I wanna be mates.

Yaz - her story arc, it wasn’t rushed it was done in real time and it made her growth believable. She wasn’t changed just by meeting the Doctor or a couple adventures. You watch her grow up into a confident capable woman in a realistic time frame. I was so proud of Yaz in Power of the Doctor, and that pride was so earned by the character because of the pacing of her arc. And Yaz is just a delight on screen.

Dan - look I don’t know if Dan really had a character arc but I really just enjoyed Dans personality injected into the story. He was such a great counter to the Doctor and Yaz. By Flux, Yaz isn’t really as relatable as the viewers eye into the world of the Doctor because this is all old news to her so injecting Dan with his questions and humour (and wok) was so relatable. And his way to read both of them when they were trying not to be read, isn’t what you would typically expect from a character like Dan but was beautifully executed. To me he was definitely more Yaz’s companion than the Doctors and I actually love that because they were great together. I wish there was more Dan, but sadly there no more episodes.

Graham and Ryan - I love that their story was about building family, that going on adventure with the Doc was really a vehicle for them to find their relationship with each other. Plus they were both quite funny.

The Master/O/one time companion, lol. I love that he wasn’t redeemable and self loathing. Sometimes the bad guys aren’t redeemable, and as the Doctors best enemy but a new incarnation I’m glad he was different to missy. There’s no saving this version of the master.

13 era villains… I love them all, wish there was more time with all of them. Would love to see a version of Ashad again if there was a way to bring him back. It is Doctor Who anything is possible.

Costume and Creature Design in 13 era Doctor who… OMG! - I love the Doctors outfit, but also the Master, Ashad, the Sea Devils, Swarm, Azure just to name a few absolute gems oh and pretty much all the period costumes with Yaz’s Flux period costume just being peak period attire in Who.

The TARDIS - what a completely unique interior design. It was hauntingly beautiful, and felt so organic, and coupled with the sonic screwdriver it felt like the perfect pair for the 13th doctor.

The look and feel of the series - it’s visually stunning and when it’s on a BBC budget it’s incredible how stunning they were able to make it.

The music - the music for me always felt on point, it never distracted but always heighten the moment when it was called to. I loved when the theme kicked in when 13 entered on the train.

The episodes - I’m always smiling watching the episodes… except when regeneration starts. Than my heartbreaks. But there wasn’t an episode I didn’t enjoy. All to different extents and I definitely have my favourites but they are all worth a rewatch. Each series is so different, but because of that I find it hard to pick a favourite.

Flux - What an incredible feat pulled off during COVID… do people no longer remember how chaotic and crazy COVID was? Because I don’t see this getting enough credit. I’m so thankful Chibs made it happen.

13 era workplace - I love that from everything we’ve seen and heard from everyone who worked on Doctor Who they seemed to have had the best time working there with Chibs and Jodie making it a positive workplace.

13 era cast and crew - you just can’t doubt their passion and love for Doctor Who whether they were life long fans of new fans they put all their love, passion and commitment into making the show. And it shows.

And of course Thasmin. Both the Thasmin friendship and the Thasmin romance. I think they are a beautiful tragedy. My heart is so happy they found each other and so heartbroken they didn’t figure themselves out in time. Yaz’s love for the Doctor throughout the show, through basically just her looks at the Doctor is so subtle but strong, and so beautifully played.

[13thdoctorposts]

I'm thinking 13 anti's actually love hating 13era Who more then they actually love what ever era of Who they supposedly love, because they spend way more of their time hating one era than loving on their own.

I will never understand wanting to ruin a show for people you know love it. Seeing people expressing anything positive for the show and then you immediately think 'I don't love it so I'm going to comment on this and hope I ruin it for them too!' What kind of person gets some sick joy out of that?

The era is over, the show is still going, people are getting all the the things they want RTD, DT etc. If you are still complaining about 13 era Who to people who love it, making DW spaces at cons feel unsafe for 13 era fans, then at this point its not just an opinion, you are actively engaging with the hate train, you don't get a free pass because you think you are some how special compared to the people who do it because your opinions are fuel for their fire.

You can talk about other things that don't make fandoms hostile to other fans. There are 26 season of Classic Who, 13 series of NuWho and a world of extended media... 13 era Who is just 3 series if you cant find positive things to talk about instead of jumping on 13 era fans and the hate train they constantly have to deal with maybe you're not actually a fan because in 60 years there is so much you could talk about that you find positive instead its an active choice not to and to hate instead.

This episode alternatively could have been called The Power of Yaz.

I would like to know who ended up with the highest points and the most stars ⭐️ it would have been Yaz right? Had to be Yaz.
