Ruby's voice going quiet when she says it's fine and you remember she's only 18

Of the billion languages ​​the Doctor can understand, he may also understand and speak all earth animals’ languages.

From this we can say that The Doctor can count as a Disney princess.

[ID: DOUBLE-BILL PREMIERE on Eurovision Night! Eps 1 &2 launching together! So this is how it works. Episodes will drop simultaneously worldwide. That's midnight May 11 on the iplayer, which is May 10 to the, er, left of GMT, for Disney+, and then the episodes will air on good old terrestrial BBC One that night, May 11. Two lovely episodes and then Eurovision, mean, come ON! After that, one episode a week, on iPlayer & Disney+ midnight GMT, then BBC One that night. Doctor Who everywhere, all at once. @/bbcone @/disneyplus @/bbciplayer @/bbcdoctorwho] thank you to @hollow-keys for the ID

Oh my god its not even a few hours apart its an entire DAY between the streaming drop and airing on TV. I take back RTD being a good business man. Allowing Disney to strong arm them into this shit deal (because its obvious Disney wanted better metrics from their US audience) is ridiculous.

For the next series I'll either have to watch it every week at fucking midnight or be spoiled by the time I watch it with my family the next day. Good bye to my sleep schedule for 2 months i guess! What a fucking riot.

Not to mention how this will decimate BBC1 viewership. You can just imagine the dominos "uh oh, Doctor Who isn't doing well! Too bad I suppose we'll sell it off. To who? Oh maybe the Mouse that's been doing suspiciously well with it. Definitely no connecting reasons there!"

Absolute fucking bollocks

BOYCOTT DISNEY'S DOCTOR WHO!

On May 10th, season one of the new Doctor Who series is coming out! Which is extremely exciting until you remember it will be released on DISNEY PLUS! Disney is one of the things we should be boycotting and yes that means PIRACY!!! if you have any good alternatives drop them in the tags or comments or something. not me though im a gatekeeper.

btw i asked the doctor what he thought about people who don't boycott disney and he said he hopes they get hit by a car so

[chaoticpallascat]

ACTUALLY

Can we get a Cyberman musical number please that would be hilarious.

[yoursleepyass]

Random old lady: you know what they say,an apple a day keeps the doctor away

*Rose biting an apple*: ...*spit the apple and throw the rest of it* God I hope not.

*Ten sniffing dramatically*: I love you so much Rose

Ncuti Gatwa, you are a brilliant actor!! That was one of the best that I have ever seen on a doctor who episode. I really didn't see the moment with Ruby [REDACTED] coming, and just so many things happening at once. They are doing such an amazing job this season, and I absolutely can't wait for the next episodes to release! Once again, my emotions are all over the place, and Doctor Who is my hyperfixation. I'm so obsessed with this show, and i'll never stop being in love with the craziness of it all. I could continue to ramble on and on, but we're all thinking the same exact thing. More or less, anyway. Steven Moffat..you wild, wild man. Nice work.

[thelvadams]

not to be negative but the doctor who news really sucks for me, both as a gifmaker and a viewer. i'm not going to stay up until 2am every weekend making gifs and if i wait until the tv broadcast everything will already have been giffed. not to mention having to avoid spoilers on social media for nearly a day every time 🙃 streaming services are a blight to the industry

Behold this cryptid I spotted in a thrift store window on a late evening walk. Imagine, if you will, glancing up from the path to see this hulking form, the dead duck eyes, the human mouth lurking beneath the solemn beak. The too long, limp arms. It looms over all the other displays. Watching. Waiting. Patient.

My husband wishes to purchase this monstrosity. Please help me convince him that no good can come of this transaction. Whatever this thing is, it certainly isn't a mere Halloween costume.

What do you think? Is it a feathered pelt of a selkie-esque creature that curses whoever owns it to be forever hunted by the monster it belongs to? An eldritch being with anger issues? A haunted husk of an old animatronic? Slenderman's fowl cousin? An SCP?

A dark, disturbing metaphor for rampant consumerism and monopolies under capitalism?

Whatever it is, I want no part in it, but I fear I've seen too much already.

[crystal-lillies]

God. I. mm. I really want to like this series bc Ncuti and Millie are doing so well but mm. mmmm. I'll keep holding out until the end of the series. and also. RTD WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK WHY WOULD YOU LET THEM LESSEN THE EPISODE COUNT TO EIGHT??? EIGHT????? EIGHT????!!!!!!

SIR YOU WORKED WITH 13 EPISODE SERIES AND EVEN THEY HAD SOME ISSUES, AND NOW YOU HAVE FIVE LESS TO TELL A GOOD SERIES-LONG STORY.

Jodie's 13th doctor was held back by the cutting of episodes why the absolute holy fuck would you allow them to be cut any more. doing Ncuti's run dirty in ways that Jodie's had but worse!! WORSE!!! and if this is a wider BBC decision to cut the episodes and you wanted more, I'm sure you could have EASILY rallied tidal waves of support to pressure the BBC into giving Ncuti more episodes. Would I still have been a little bitter in that scenario that he would get the proper amount that Jodie lacked? Probably! But I'd have been happy for Ncuti! He deserves that much!

What the FUCK is the problem with longer episode runs across the board?? Short-form is great when it's done well for a limited series (and even then, "done well" is the key phrase) but it's not good for everything! Serialized TV shows need to fucking BREATHE.

I'm so sick and tired of the corset-compressed shows with 6 episodes, 8 episodes, 10 episodes, of things that WOULD have a decade ago gotten 15, 20, 22 episodes, or more! and would have thrived off of it!

Character arcs, story arcs, worldbuilding, all the Good Shit(tm) being shunted into little boxes and trimmed of any ounce of fat, but then the lean meat isn't even that good because it was rushed out by compressed writing rooms and overworked staff.

it's just one thing after another like, Moon Knight was amazing but an anemic SIX episodes. It was paced relatively fine, but it felt overall like a movie cut into six pieces rather than a TV show. And it was helped by everyone giving great performances and the origin story being pretty tight. Then Ms. Marvel REALLY suffered with her series ALSO being only six episodes! and her story felt a lot more like a teen coming of age fantasy that needed more room to breathe. Iman Vellani and her costars did a fantastic job, but I was left feeling like the story was missing pieces, and it needed. more. room. to. breathe.

Do I even need to mention Percy Jackson and NATLA? Both had young relatively green cast members give their all in a severely compressed version of a good base story, and we all are praying that the showrunners will learn from their mistakes.

Is this just "the way things are in streaming now"??? because for the most part, it sucks! and who the fuck decides "oh for streaming, we're just going to do super short seasons now" because they're stupid! Look at Delicious in Dungeon/Dungeon Meshi! We're getting weekly drops in an era of all-or-nothing, AND we're 20+ episodes in and still not at the end! And it's GREAT! DO MORE LIKE THAT!!

jfc sorry this turned into a rant but god damn I'm so upset Doctor Who got sucked into the gross streaming trend of fewer episodes too. it just ruins so many good stories.

millie gibson talking about the great thing about doctor who being that they go for practical effects before CGI and that’s SO true and i am GOBSMACKED by the absolute talent of the practical effects team every time. i keep watching episodes of unleashed and going “what do you MEAN that wasn’t CGI?!”

[tezuka-brainrot]

Dr Tenma immediately after a mental breakdown wandering the streets of Shibuya/Metro city. Still drunk, sleep deprived and trying to fight back the immeasurable agony he feels by trying to double down and suppress all his emotions forever coded song.

"What are you talking about though? Is he bitter about losing his job and importance, watching everyone forget about him? Feeling guilt over selling Atom or driving Ochanomizu out of his life? Grieving Tobio and Hoshie?"

Yeah it can be all those.

[asclexe]

hhey guys. i think i mayy be experiencing a hyperfixation 4 the first time. not sure. sorry

[captaincleverusernamehere]

Okay so I’ve purposely not read anything about the new companion/her actor, but like, with the way RTD has started off his return, with Tennant’s costume and calling him the 14th doctor and overshadowing Gatwa’s entrance and naming Donna’s daughter Rose, it all really feels like he’s trying to milk nostalgia to bring him/the show back into the good graces of its worst critics from the past few years.

Like, with Ruby Sunday (what a name…) being a young blonde girl immediately after the Doctor’s return to Tennant’s body, I feel like RTD’s just going to use her to be the vessel for the Doc’s Very Own Morality Nostalgia Trip/Getting Over Rose Time like he did with Martha, which I think was a pretty universally disliked decision.

Maybe I’m wrong, but Doctor Who has been built over the past half century to be a show about moving forward, and all of these gestures look more like bringing things “back to normal” to me, which i think is the wrong move.
