[Image description: a screenshot of what's trending on tumblr showing Doctor Who as number 1 and the tag #David Tennant. The next is the, "Shut up about the sun" meme from The Office. Gabe looks annoyed as he says "Shut up about David Tennant. Shut up about David Tennant." /end image description]

i have to say i don't like this. i'm absolutely a david tennant lover but i hate how his thirty seconds of screentime have overshadowed both jodie whittaker's departure and ncuti gatwa

and apparently he's being called the fourteenth doctor, which i like even less. he's already the tenth, three episodes with whatever explanation they're using shouldn't make him number 14 as well. no one calls the war doctor the ninth, or the metacrisis doctor the eleventh, or the fugitive doctor the first– this shouldn't be any different. just think up a nickname it's not that hard

#i know right #i've seen more gifsets of him returning than of Jodie leaving #i didn't even know they'd released a trailer of the special showing Fourteen until i saw someone mention it #look #I loved David Tennant back in the day #but his time is finished #over with #he's overshadowing ncuti and jodie #he's been overshadowing them both since the announcement of the sixtieth #i want him in the sixtieth in the same way i want the others #i want it to focus on ncuti #if i want an episode where ten returns then i want it to be like the tenth and twentieth anniversaries #he gets scooped up from his time stream and placed in the middle of it all #not made into the next one as a way to bring in the crowd and hype #if you look at the viewer count and ratings #jodie's recent ones are lower than when the original got cancelled #this is so obviously a way to try and save the show #and it's unfair to jodie and ncuti #doctor who #dw spoilers
