DOCTOR WHO | 14x01 "Space Babies"

moffat said i only get one chance i HAVE to fucking kill the companion and bring them back to life in 45 minutes if that’s all the time i have. companions have to be dead for a little while, it’s good for them, it’s like enrichment. adds flavour. and he was right

Was that a wee smile from the most serious man in history?

Where'd you hide a spaceship in 1813? It's cloaked past that shed.

THE DOCTOR & ROGUE | Doctor Who 'Rogue'

Ncuti Gatwa falling in love with himself

(As he should)

The Doctor being held by his new self, being kissed on the forehead by him, being told it's okay. That's not growth, that's healing.

I am not going to lie to you. When Russell told me that we were putting a ramp in the TARDIS, I cried. I did. He actually told me about a fan who had contacted him, who was a wheelchair user, and said how much he admired Russell’s work. He said, “Even though I can’t get in the TARDIS, because it’s not wheelchair accessible, I just love it.” And Russell was like, “So, we change that instantly. We change that.” When he told me that story, that really hit me straight in the heart. I know what that will mean for the disabled community, and many disabled Whovians who haven’t had that. -Ruth Madeley

if i had one nickel for every time the word “lesbian” was spoken aloud on doctor who, i’d have two consecutive nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s incredible that it happened twice in a row and neither example was during that whole series with an openly lesbian companion

So I think I figured out what Fifteen's problem is. Not as a flaw in the writing, mind. A flaw in the character.

Every New Who Doctor has been a reaction to the trauma of the Time War.

Nine raged

Ten ran

Eleven repressed

Twelve wallowed

Thirteen regressed

Fourteen finally admitted he had a problem and sought help.

And Fifteen, I'm certain now, relapses.

Fifteen started out doing great. All his trauma processed. Ready to face the world. And maybe at first it worked (though sadly we didn't get to see his many offscreen adventures with Ruby). But like... you don't stay better. You have to work at it. And he's very much not doing that.

There's a brittleness to his good cheer. Be it the gods of chaos, the loss of a lover, or his first real confrontation with racism, he doesn't deal with adversity very well. He breaks down, he hides, he acts like everything's fine. It's not fine though. He's not okay. He might've dealt with his problems, but he didn't equip himself with the tools needed to deal with new problems.

He's gonna crack eventually. We can already see it happening.
