#Episode: The Doctor's Wife

[yahoo201027]

Day in Fandom History: May 14…

The Doctor receives a distress message from an old Time Lord friend of his and The Doctor, Amy, and Rory all head down to another universe and meet an alien that pretty much eats nothing but TARDISes. “The Doctor’s Wife” premiered on this day, 12 Years Ago.

if that story is true and Moffat wrote the Doctor's Wife, why wouldn't he just give himself credit?

He didn't write the Doctor's Wife, exactly; it /is/ a work by Gaiman, it's just that Moffat is rumored to have done some pretty heavy rewrites which likely should have warranted a cowriting credit.

Quite honestly this is normal, pretty much any given episode you see is going to have a ton of input from the showrunner (yes, even the ones they said they didn't edit at all), and it's (to my knowledge) up to them if they feel that warrants a cowriting credit. If true, I'm sure Gaiman being a guest writer who's name would undoubtedly draw viewers was certainly a big factor in Moffat leaving himself uncredited; "co written by Neil Gaiman" is just not a good look for marketing.

(The only reason it's notable here is because Gaiman later came off as a bit unprofessional and vindictive toward the production over his second episode (which was very poorly received), usually describing it along the lines of him having wrote a great script he was very proud of and the people working on Doctor Who not understanding his vision or not giving him as much creative control. So "actually, it seems very likely that he had a lot of creative control on the bad one and a lot of rewrites and guidance on the good one" is just a funny little counter to it all.)

Happy New Year's 🥳

Lovely to rewatch this film all these years later & realise that i did not in fact, dream up the plot of this film, the plot is still wonderfully bizarre 🤩

“fear me, i’ve killed hundreds of time lords.” / “fear me. i’ve killed all of them.” 11 is soooooo so so complex to me. outwardly he’s one of the goofiest ones, probably the goofiest nuwho doctor. he loves a good fez, is obsessed with bow ties, has questionable taste in food. but his anger… 11’s anger is cold. it’s vengeful. 9 and 10 were angry, yes, but they burned in their rage. the war isn’t fresh anymore like it was for 9, or he barely healed during 10 but 11 compartmentalises and it’s quite deadly honestly

truly betty “impulsively throw away basically my entire life for one thing im more excited about” grof would make a perfect doctor who companion (with a tragic ending). except i think the tardis would like her more than the doctor would. betty would have to be one of those stowaway companions in the vein of zoe or sarah jane like she just gets curious and goes 👀 hey what the fuck is this and the tardis is supposed to be locked but she immediately senses betty as a fellow Madwoman Who Likes Biting People and feels solidarity and secretly lets her in anyway so betty gets brought along on a trip by accident without the doctor knowing shes in there. this is subjective, and depends on which doctor we’re dealing with and what situations they get into, but i feel like generally the doctor would not consider betty Proper Traveling Companion Material she is too betty. she has the excitement and the curiosity but she also has the emotional regulation problems and hubris and she is much more likely to become in some way a danger to herself, others, or the timestream than she is to just Go On Cool Adventures and Help People Without Bending The Rules Too Much. she is already in adventure time canon the type of person who’s 100% down to undo an extremely formative event in history consequences be damned. she might be normal passing enough to get a few trips in but she’s been shoving future technology in her pockets this entire time and the doctor will NOT stand for it but like the tardis still thinks she’s kinda cool so it makes things harder so it can hang out with this weird woman a little while longer. and that’s probably where things go wrong
