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

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?

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

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

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!!!

Ngl, while I do get where RTD is coming from that the Disney deal could save Doctor Who from dying if the BBC does essentially die since the tory government are basically killing anything they can, BBC included- I really don't like the idea that the solution is just to give Doctor Who to Disney, given we all know what Disney is like with everything they own and would not hesitate to milk Doctor Who like they do with Marvel, let alone just adding to Disney's monopoly on everything we watch.

Russell, I can’t say I’m super into a goblins-eating-children Doctor Who Christmas special. As, you know. A Jew.

Gotta say it hurts a little to see the disney plus logo play before the new doctor who...
