Unpopular opinion: I kind of like that Thirteenth's era doesn't have a Christmas special, but festive specials that are just New Year's specials. It's so much more inclusive. Not everyone in the world celebrates Christmas, but we all, one way or another, celebrate New Year's. And on that note, have a happy New Year!

RIP Christopher Benjamin (27.12.1934 - 15.1.2025)
"That was another reason, in a way, that I decided to give [stage acting] up, because I was getting a bit - a bit dicey with the lines. People sort of wrote down, quite often, the things I said... instead of the things I should have said. They were known as my bloopers: 'Benjamin bloopers'. Some of my inventions were very good, I must admit. My feeling was, if I dried, I had to say something - and so that something was something that amused the rest of the cast considerably, quite often."

i think the structural nature of doctor who makes it so i cannot relate to people who are consistently obsessed with it nor can i relate to people who are exclusively casual fans the entire time. Doctor Who is one of the ultimate pieces of media that's like BUILT for having it consume your every thought for like two years and then you forget about it for a decade. And then it comes back around. But that might just be the perspective of someone who like comic book characters lol
#doctor who#idk man there was SEVERAL years where i was like. damn i don't really get why i was SO into doccy whomst#like i had been watching it i've watched almost all of new who#(except the last of jodie's run I've only seen through the flux specials whoops)#but i wasn't like. Invested. it wasn't making an impact.#but then i fuckin watch go season 1#and i was like oh fuck i really like david tennant that's right#and then i rewatched donna's (aka the best) season#and i was like OH RIGHT. I LOVE DOCTOR WHO BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT FUCKIN BAAAANNGGGSSS#and now we're here. congrats to both 2019 and 2008 me <3

I'm kind of fine either way.
But yes, I don't mind New Year's specials.
Genuinely - why do people want the Christmas specials back, versus New Years? Why is it so important that an alien who is not from Earth acknowledge special Jesus tree day, when almost everything else around that time of year in that part of the world is ALSO about special Jesus tree day? Doesn't it make more sense for a time traveller to care about the *new* year versus a holiday celebrated by one chunk of the population?

Rip The Doctor, the Widow, and the Wardrobe and The Return of Doctor Mysterio. I ran out of room and I like the other ones more (although they both have moments I love). Feel free to tell me how wrong I am in the tags.
#doctor who#tenth doctor#eleventh doctor#twelfth doctor#fifteenth doctor#paradox posts#I wish we'd gotten a Christmas special with nine#fun fact: I was bummed when thirteen didn't have Christmas specials#the reason is that I'm Jewish and literally everything is closed on Christmas where I live#so as a kid December 25th was excellent because there was nothing else going on so I could make everyone else watch doctor who with me#Like yeah everyone else go have fun with Christmas morning or whatever#more importantly today is Doctor Who Day#rip thirteen I'm glad you got to have some New Year's shenanigans

I fully believe the thirteenth doctor didn't need a Christmas special and there's nothing wrong with an attempt to move away from cultural Christianity, but I sort of wish she'd had one, if only to give people one less thing to complain about
#13th doctor#christmas specials usually arent really /about/ christmas#so its not a big deal imo to do new year instead#i wouldve enjoyed a christmas special just as much as the new year specials#doctor who

one thing about doctor who is that it’s so ridiculous. like anime type ridiculous. like what do you mean the climax of the latest episode is two doctors playing a game of life of death through a game of catch. i feel like that scene would translate so well in an anime just bc of how ridiculous it is. and that’s why i love doctor who lmao
#doctor who#i haven’t touched anything doctor who related in YEARS#but these new specials man#got me rewatching some old episodes :’)#David tennant you will always be famous#and NCUTI#THE MAN YOU ARE#HE SINGLE-HANDEDLY REVIDED MY INTEREST IN DOCTOR WHO AGAIN#tenth doctor#fourteenth doctor#fifteenth doctor#donna noble#dw spoilers#dw#dw 60th

just found out that Sonya is older than Yaz. need 3-5 business days to process this
#why they wrote and directed Sonya to have the most little sister energy I’ve ever seen if she’s older is anyone’s guess#also the ‘can you cook now??’ line feels odd if Sonya’s older? like yeah she’s 25 by now i should hope so#if she was 18 in s12 as I’d guessed previously that line would make more sense#BUT this does recontextualise a LOT especially for Can You Hear Me#because the dynamic shifts to Sonya being an adult who is so worried for her baby sister (a teenager)#rather than a younger teenager worrying about the older#adds a different dimension to CYHM#what’s also interesting is would Sonya actually be younger by the time Yaz finishes travelling with the Doctor?#by my count Yaz is around 27 by the end of s13. if we could each series as a year real time Sonya would also be 27#(I’m counting three years because that’s the number of new year specials they had)#depending on birthdays Yaz could be older#big sister Sonya is sort of growing on me as a concept because i need her to give the Doctor the shovel talk in the most violent fashion#still feels weird though I’ll need to get used to it#maybe I’ll write some fic of big sister Sonya through the years to retrain my brain#this is probably an argument for making the characters closer to the actors’ ages but y’know I grew up accepting Billie as a 19 year old so#plus I’m a big theatre fan so y’know i have a lot of suspension of disbelief in terms of actor ages#it was Sonya’s behaviour that confused me and made me assume she was younger#this IS putting bonus points in my autistic yaz hc though. bet when her sister misbehaved yaz was praised for being ‘mature’

do you ever just sit and mourn what the 13th doctor could have been
#the writing has made the words ‘female doctor’ associated with ‘bad tv’#and i hate that#if not for the generally cringe and unrealistic writing#and if jodie got something good to work with#it would have been really good#and like i like some of chibnall’s writing#i like 42 better than the devil done#and torchwood is nothing but bangers#but babe what did you do to 13…#did like the dalek storage unit new years special tho#(which was a great use of the new years special having the solution be fireworks)#tee-writing doctor who#doctor who#dw#13th doctor#chibnall#chibnall era#chris chibnall#tee is tumblring

Guys it’s officially 10 years since I first started watching doctor who. Bc it was the 50th anniversary and I’d never seen a full episode so I decided to watch all of it from the beginning lol. Not to sound grand or melodramatic or anything but it’s a v cool moment for me bc ever since then, 90% of my special interests have been retro tv shows that I almost certainly wouldn’t have thought of watching if I hadn’t started watching doctor who. So. Like at the risk of sounding ridiculous it was a bit of a turning point for me fjsjdjsj and it’s 10 years to the day!!!
#woohoo#and I STILL haven’t finished the 4th doctor#but it’s because of this that I watched things like the man from uncle starsky & hutch sapphire & steel the new avengers Randall & hopkirk#the x files twin peaks#etc etc#so much about me has been influenced by my decision to start watching doctor who 10 years ago#my dress sense my friends my writing style huge parts of my identity#it led to so many other special interests#i once kinned the master lol and altho I don’t anymore I’m still mike yates
