#ABSOLUTELY #GO BACK TO GALLIFREY AND SHOW US SOME SURVIVORS YOU COWARDS #Bonus points if the majority of the survivors were Shobogans/non time lords #make the time lords have to listen to people they looked down on for hundreds even THOUSANDS of years #they need to be humbled

End Image Description.

The handling of Gallifrey in new who is genuinely the funniest thing ever. The Doctor is given this huge tragic backstory about being the last of his kind and spends seven seasons mourning the loss of his beloved home. Than he triumphiantly manages to save Gallifrey as this huge moment to celebrate 50 years of Doctor Who. Hype about The Doctor's eventual return to Gallifrey builds up for two years. Than he gets back to Gallifrey and both The Doctor and Steven Moffat decided "Wait a minute this place fucking sucks actually. Clara is cooler than all you motherfuckers put together" and then two seasons later Chibnall blows it up again offscreen. Only on Doctor Who.

The Doctor & Missy: text posts – pt. 10

[twelfthdoctorwho]

sometimes I think about how lucky we were to have a companion that the master personally chose for the doctor. for the doctor’s oldest frenemy who knows them all too well to hand pick a companion that makes him so devoted he spends billions of years punching a substance four hundred times harder than diamond just so he can get out and fight his own people and the laws of time itself to get her back. missy really managed to make the doctor’s dark side come out in the most interesting way that we may never have gotten with a companion they chose themselves on a normal tardis adventure

why does no one ever consider river and the ninth doctor. that would've been much more fun than with the eleventh and in this essay

Oh yay, i have thoughts!!

So im one of those fake dw fans who hasnt seen torchwood (I’m getting there i SWEAR) so i cant work off of context as much as someone who has.

HOWEVER!!! The idea that the doctor is some kind of omnipotent god has already been discussed - may i point you to the timelord victorious arc?

Its an entire thing that the doctor cant be everywhere at once, and especially that, even if he does manage to arrive and save MOST people, he cant save everyone. Hes honestly just a human with alien insides/mechanisms and a fancy machine that doesnt even listen to him half the time. And he has to LEARN these things with us.

But most importantly, and i repeat - he cant be everywhere at once. Thats why they need torchwood in the first place. When the doctor cant be there, someone else can take his place for a while.

I might have more to say but i dont know how to form my words and its 8:15 am and im tired but thats the gist of it!!

Watching Torchwood sometimes makes me feel pissed off at the Doctor. Like, what do you mean he's palling around with Van Gogh and Agatha Christie instead of shutting down the cannibalistic murder village? Can he not send the Children of Earth alien drug addicts away with his Sonic Screwdriver? I'm not buying that crap about him being 'ashamed' by human actions, he's literally a borderline god who's sworn to 'protect' this planet so Torchwood shouldn't even have to exist in the first place. Yet, despite repeatedly being let down, Captain Jack Harkness still trusts the Doctor, he is a much better person than me. If I was Jack, and I knew that the most helpful being in existence simply didn't care about the less high-profile atrocities, that Time Lord would be getting a punch in the face.

Ya know- the more ridiculous a plot is in Doctor Who… the more unserious…. The more I’m gonna love it.

(Aliens of London, Unicorn and the Wasp, A Christmas Carol, Robots of Sherwood)

So when people complain about this new season with Space Babies

I’m just like… are you new here?! We’re all about camp and silly and fun! It can’t be all bad all the time!
