watching the way different types of doctor who fan have reacted to this season is so interesting bc i have seen recent fans really upset with it because of the lack of character drama between 15 and ruby, i have seen classic who fans absolutely loving it bc their love of classic who is more about individual stories than character drama anyway, and then there's people like me, nuwho fans who've been with it since 2005 who know it isn't as good as s1-10 but can't bring ourselves to be that upset because it's still leagues better than the 5 years of chibnall era we just went through

#blahs #dw #like yes i want a better doctor companion relationship #yes i do question the decision to make the big bad such an obscure classic who reference when you're trying to pull new viewers in #but like. at least i'm not watching the battle of ranch dressing. you know?#i think recent fans who watched chibnall era in hindsight have an easier time glossing over it bc they did not experience it in real time #watching doctor who's quality and cultural reputation just slowly implode on itself like that for 5 years was. sad!#this season is not my disillusionment moment. that was way back in s11. this season is my thank god it's watchable again moment
