no but the pilot episode of og doctor who is so funny because it is literally just two british schoolteachers threatening to call cps because they think the doctor is keeping his granddaughter in a box so the doctor just decides to fucking kidnap them and then they get lost in time and space because this ancient bastard hasn’t known how to pilot his time machine since day one
#then they have to stop him from bashing a guy’s skull in with a rock#the character development is very funny and also good#doctor who#first doctor#ian chesterton#barbara wright

I ship ninerose as a very messy rom-com that happens to involve one of them becoming a God and tenrose entirely and exclusively as a tragedy. No happy ending for them. I also ship tentoo/Rose with all of my heart as the happy ending that it is. (I also ship ElevenRose, TwelveRose, and ThirteenRose completely on the basis of Bad Wolf!Rose reunion potential.) Does that make sense?

Can we talk about how Kate didn't use the 'Lethbridge' part of her name to avoid nepotism but in season 14 she refers to herself as 'Kate Lethbridge-Stewart' when speaking against Sutekh??
She's commander and chief of unit and no longer has to worry about anyone considering her a product of her father's achievements.

i want an episode of doctor who where someone important to the doctor dies and all the pain and heartbreak of all their lives piles up and they get so broken and so full of hate that this keeps happening and why can’t they just be happy and why is the universe so cruel that they turn evil and then while out and about being evil and not giving a fuck about saving people they run into the master and the master is shook that the doctor has changed bc how? that’s impossible the doctor and the master are opposing forces! it’s their whole dynamic now everything’s out of balance! and so they make it their mission to show the doctor how much good there is in the universe and the doctor is cold and harsh and vulnerable and heartbroken but the master whisks the both of them off on an adventure to demonstrate all the brilliant wonderful extraordinary happy parts of the universe but what finally gets through to the doctor is that it’s the master showing them all this. they’re so far gone that the master is trying to fix them. and they realise that the both of them have more in common than they think and that they can see it from each other’s perspectives. and then they kiss
#i’m in a thoschei kinda mood#i feel like this would be really good character development for both of them#and then they’d go through a ‘i want to be with you’ ‘but we can’t we’re too different’ kinda trope#and they’d both forever mourn the fact that if the master could just give up their evil ways they could’ve been together#and then every future master/doctor scene in the rest of the show would have loads of tension bc they love each other#idk i just want some canon thoschei#and some dark doctor#doctor who#the doctor#the master#missy dw#dw#thoschei#twissy#doctor x master#doctor who angst#the doctor x the master#upon review this might have to be a two part special idk if we can cram all that into one ep

#yes im talking about twice upon a time#one was never that extreme#sure the line about slapping her bottom was taken from a script#but he was written more as a 60s caricature rather than the first doctor#this doctor was at the end of his life after so much character development#the poking fun at the 60s writing got old fast#I'll forever be mad about this#first doctor#doctor who#dw#classic who#dr who#new who#twice upon a time#steven moffat#tv: twice upon a time#twelfth doctor#this might be controversial but i dont care#i was excited to see one but that portrayal slapped me across the face#bradley in big finish tho....👀#check it outttt

8 episode season, very little character/dynamic development, hugely powerful villain and conflict only to solve it easily and with no consequences, massive buildup to the overarching season mystery only for it to be incredibly anti-climactic.... quite disappointing
#doctor who#like pls... i thought the war was over when chibnall left....#doctor who spoilers#empire of death#ruby sunday#disney watch your back!!!#lazy lazy lazy writing and pacing and character development#love my girl ruby (in theory) but I don't know her!!!#no flaws#no kind of tension between her and the doctor at all#very much a plot device that didn't even turn out to be that!!!

are you normal or did you just read @ford-ye-fiji's run, boy, run series for the third time because holy SHOOT am i obsessed
#tua#the umbrella academy#dw#doctor who#other people's fics#its EVERYTHING i wanted TUA s3 to be#and is incredibly easy to read as someone who only saw the 9th and the very beginning of the 10th doctor#i especially love what the fic does for five's character development. its just AH. it maeks so much SENSE#and feels so SATISFYING to read#recommended it to a friend because she was NOT happy with five's arc in s4#(i only got thru the first few episodes of s3 back when that one came out)#but i ended up rereading it myself because it's so GOOD#...honestly might have been my fourth time reading it ive lost track#( mage.txt )

thinking about this last season and how i very much believe they suffered with having only eight episodes.
a LOT of stuff was offscreen.
the adventures that were missing between space babies and devil’s chord (like why would you want your companions first adventures and the new doctor’s first adventures off screen?). the lack of ‘what’s wrong with the tardis’ scenes. the doctor told ruby to remember the tardis yet we’ve hardly seen scenes with her and the tardis? so many of the susan cameos that were referenced were off-screen adventures. the full conversation between carla and the doctor.
we should’ve seen all of that. but we didn’t? it’s very much textbook bad writing.
#you know that old saying ‘show don’t tell’ this is textbook as to why you show#ruby’s character was so underdeveloped and her ending was rushed#especially if you compare her with other one season companions (martha donna) hell even james corden’s character was more developed#dw#doctor who#dw spoilers#dw negativity#doctor who negativity

Honestly, Flux is a genuinely underrated storyline. Aside from a fumbled ending and trying to cram too much storyline into too short a season (it should have been 10 episodes minimum), it's pretty fun.
Is it the best arc in Doctor Who history? No, but we got some really fun stories like Halloween Apocalypse and Village of the Angels and the concepts are very strong.
Also Thasmin, we will always appreciate Thasmin in this house.
#chibnalls biggest Achilles heel imo was his desire to focus on too many characters at once and not let them develop#yaz ended up escaping that fate and to an extent dan but the rest are flat or poorly written#13 yaz and dan are a great trio though#doctor who

thinking about how, in the end, missy won.
When Simm!Master kills missy, it is in anger and hatred at her choice to stand with the doctor. he rejects his future, but now he has no control. in the end, missy won, because she chose her future. simm!master is going to become her, and end up standing with the doctor. and he will never know, because ‘without hope, without witness, and reward’. missy is so poetic
#missy doctor who#doctor who#the master#world enough and time#the doctor falls#this is if you either ignore dhawan or believe he comes before missy or follow the lumiat thing#because i still havent worked out how i feel about that characterisation#and i just think missys character development is neat#not just neat its mega fucking insane
