[shiveringfrogspawn]

talking to someone about doctor who the other day and i asked what he thought of rose tyler and he responded with “yeah she was a good filler ig” EXCUSE ME?? DID YOU MISS THE BAD WOLF REVEAL? THE FACT THAT SHE KILLED THE ACTUAL FUCKING DEVIL?!!! ROSE TYLER IS MY QUEEN AND THE OBJECT OF ALL MY DESIRES. NIGHT AND DAY I DREAM OF HER. SHE RECURRED THROUGHOUT THE SHOW BECAUSE, THOUGH THE DOCTOR HAS SEEN A THOUSAND YEARS OF TIME AND SPACE, SHE WAS THE BEST PERSON THEY MET. SHE MADE AN EVERLASTING IMPACT ON THEIR LIFE AND THEY WILL NEVER EVER FORGET HER!! THE FACT THAT SUCH A SWEET, STRONG, BRAVE CHARACTER IS CONSTANTLY REDUCED TO “whiny teenager” “spoiled brat” “a filler” IS DISGUSTING TO ME. SHE SAVED SO MANY AND CONTINUES TO INFLUENCE THE DOCTOR’S JOURNEY AND DECISIONS SO MANY YEATS LATER, THEY ARE MORE COMPASSIONATE AND UNDERSTANDING AND HUMAN THAN EVER AND IT’S ALL BECAUSE OF HER. THE BADDEST WOLF OF THEM ALL IS CONSTANTLY DISMISSED AND I! AM! SICK!! AND TIRED!! OF PEOPLE ACTING LIKE SHE WAS ONLY THERE TO LOOK PRETTY!!!!!!!!!!

anyway i didnt take that very well as youd imagine

' well that's assumptive, ennit? mebbe i'm just a fiend for rooftop architecture. '

yes, he is. has been on-and-off for almost a week, and it's rotten sodding luck to get caught out right when he thinks he's finally twigged where the elusive prick actually lives. he eyes the pigeon coops curiously as he leans against the doorframe, hands up in a mocking display of surrender.

' know what's not an assumption, though? you were in my mate's kitchen a few days back, pickin' over the leftovers. only saw you for a mo, but i'm good at faces, enni? funny thing, though: he didn't remember you were there. and you walked right by him. so what's your gig, eh? some washed-up cape reduced to snacktime burglary? '

one of my favourite things about early-seasons nu!who is that the doctor swans into rose’s life and is so dismissive of it (and by extension the life of her family and friends), contrasting it over and over to the wonders of space and time travel, but while that is undoubtedly awestriking and all that, there’s a point made multiple times that this attitude is wrong -- the show portrays the domestic as a wonderful life, and you see that the doctor is desperately lonely and actually craving this experience and there’s a mix of things (coming out of the time war as an initial sole survivor, having had to live with knowing that getting too close to mortals means experiencing them ageing and dying, etc) that go into the various periods of detachment 

and i like that because this foundation exists, one can extend it to later in the show (which hasn’t always landed with me) to analyse when the doctor chooses to be less relatable, or is unconsciously becoming less relatable to mortals by styling the self as a god of some kind or at least so inherently alien that you couldn’t possibly understand or get close, and when those walls get knocked down 

the tl;dr is that the complexity of christopher eccleston’s performance was a gift that’s rippled throughout the whole story

Nine, not camp?!

Did they even watch his series?

[yronnia]

Found this @most-normal-eccles-cake-ignorer in the wild

Yeah, me too, 😂😌 but not in name. I tried to bake them three times already, and promised (to myself) I'd try till I bake them perfectly.

I do my best to ignore that promise lol.

“Run!”

STORY OF THE WEEK: Rose (season 1, episode 1)

Release date: 26 March 2005 Main characters: Ninth Doctor, Rose Main villain: Autons

Every week, in anticipation of the zine, we would like to highlight a story from NuWho (and invite you to give it a rewatch it, if you fancy it!)

There is no other way to start then with highlighting the episode that started it all: “Rose”. This episode, released back in March 2005, introduces viewers to the Ninth Doctor (Christopher Eccleston), and his much beloved companion Rose Tyler (Billie Piper). It also introduces characters like Jackie (Camille Coduri) and Mickey (Noel Clarke), who would be recurring appearances throughout the first two seasons of NuWho.

I did a big rewatch of Doctor Who a couple years ago, from which I’ll be drawing a lot during these posts. In my entry for this episode, I wrote: “I was really afraid I wouldn't enjoy it as much, but I really really did. I still laugh and get scared and some moments are actually new! I really liked Rose; I'm on the floor over Eccleston cause he is that good. But what I was really surprised about is how GOOD! the chemistry between Rose and the 9th is. It's brilliant, they just click so well. I'm on the floor over that. So good!” And speaking of the chemistry between Christopher and Billie, if you’ve never watched an episode of Doctor Who Confidential (available on Youtube), I really recommend you do it; it’s such a fun way to learn about Doctor Who, and the insights both actors share about their characters and the relationship between Rose and the Doctor are absolutely insane.

Here among the zine team, Rose is a beloved episode. Regenderate - @regenderate-fic, a writer for the zine, says:

"Rose" has, to me, always been the perfect example of how to go about rebooting a show. It does a beautiful job of slowly introducing the show's iconic features in ways that build mystery for new viewers while teasing old fans—and it shows you exactly what to expect from Russell T. Davies' Doctor Who. Cheesy special effects? Check. Goofy music? Check. Emotionally resonant plot line? Characters who feel like real people? Check and check. Whether you love it or hate it, it does its job perfectly.

Overall, I love how this episode feels so very much like a piece of its time (it’s so 2005 and Doctor Who is awful at special effects and it’s so good), but it also makes for a delightful (re)watch, that allows us to fall in love with these characters and beloved show all over again.

Who is most important to the history of Doctor Who?

TOURNAMENT MASTERPOST

propaganda under the cut

Christopher Eccleston – played the ninth Doctor

We would not be here right now, discussing Doctor Who, if not for Christopher's charisma, energy, and emotional depth anchoring the series in joy and realism that brought it properly into the 21st century. Nothing would have worked without him and we're poorer for him being ostracized from the series proper. CHRIS IS THE GOAT (anonymous)

Billie Piper – played original NuWho companion Rose Tyler

THE it girl of 2000'. Played our beloved Rose Tyler and Bad Wolf! Fashion icon for thousands. Brought drama, controversies and amazing acting to the new dw. What else do you need?? (@leeisshitty )

Freema Agyeman – played iconic companion Martha Jones

Played the first black main companion! (@go-to-the-mirror )

John Simm – played the original NuWho Master

An actor already well known in the UK sci-fi scene from "Life on Mars", bringing back an iconic villain for the nu-who generation, and played him so iconically that he was brought back 7 years later! The Master is my favourite character, and it started with John Simm <3 (@greenslime69 )

I’ll be a 9th Doctor dick-rider until I die. I’m sorry but he’s so babygirl I love him so much ✋

TIL MY LAST BREATH I'LL SUPPORT THE 9TH DOCTOR

"Very vocal against the British monarchy and played an amazing dr. who"

"crispy my beloved. he lost his marbles a long time ago and i am here for it"

[moonbeam-darling]

So I'm watching Dr. Who for the first time in 14 years. I watched Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant, and some of Matt Smith's when I was real young.

Recently, I've been on a Matt Smith kick so I'm watching his seasons, and my god, he is fantastic. I didn't like him much as a kid, but now I adore him.

Watching him show Vincent Van Gogh how beloved he becomes in the future healed a part of me I did not know needed healing. I cried so much.
