#im watching ncuti dw

[variousqueerthings]

also ive gotta say one brilliant thing about 73 yards is how clearly it gives us Ruby! i think, up until then, i was seeing her a little at a distance (ha), you know, she's kind and witty and well-dressed and very aware, but that all felt like surface-stuff to an extent

and then 73 yards gives us "yeah and all of that helps her with her intense abandonment issues, she's so used to people leaving, she's practically come prepared for the fact" and i just... it all slotted into place

it works so so well with this 21st century cool and able young person speech and dress and awareness, because we do that, don't we, we're so encouraged all the time to keep ourselves up to date with all of this, to be so tuned in, and she's an expert, she's so charming and approachable and kind, but she's always so prepared for it to end that she'll keep an extra barrier there, for when the time (inevitably) comes that she's alone again

it is who she is, genuinely, but it kind of is a surface too, one that most people will eventually glance off, but not, hopefully, the doctor, who is nothing if not someone who burrows into peoples souls (affectionately)

I get you now Ruby Sunday and I hope this search you're on all ends up okay for you

Hey yeah so I haven't watched an episode of Doctor Who in ten years and when y'all were talking about the gay kiss with Jonathan Groff I thought it was gonna be like oh, he flirts with the Doctor all episode and gives him a quick peck at the end

I watched Rogue last night. What the fuck. How could they do this to me

We're halfway through the new series of Doctor Who, and I'm really unsure of how I feel about it all.

Do I think Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson are brilliant? Absolutely.

But the actual stories?

I have so many mixed feelings. I just feel it tries too hard, and it doesn't reach it's full potential and I just have a lot of mixed feelings about the series and the 60th as a whole with the more I think about it.

If you're upset that The Doctor is gay and Black.... how tf have you watched the show up until now??

Just saw someone on Instagram say "He's not the doctor"

Ummm? Yes he is?

[aenslem]

I was thinking about the entire new new who season and the final to understand what Im feeling about it, but the conclusion is I felt nothing, and it's disappointing, not the show, I mean I watched it and it was fine, but the fact that it did not make me feel things it supposed to make me feel, like you're killing kate stewart

and Im thinking about what I should make myself for a dinner, Im supposed to hold onto chair and stop breathing the moment she dies, I love her, and yet... Im making myself mac and cheese

[mummer]

the thing about donna is that her tragedy is so genuinely soul rending and miserable and well executed that i love it like it’s actually an extremely sadistic thing for a tv show to do, it makes no sense for them to do that in a genre family show and yet. So i like it. i like the balls of it. the problem is i know that with the new tennant specials theyre gonna fix it and address it. Well what if i dont want it to be fixed. what if i want to sit in my misery huh

If I had a nickel for every time a TV show had an adorable alien named Meep who crash landed on earth and was hiding a terrible secret that had to do with much larger aliens it was in active space battle with, I'd have two nickels

[ncutii-gatwa]

cant believe im going to say this but the timeless child actually made more sense then what the hell happened last night

[morninkim]

The Giggle was a very fun episode and I enjoyed it a lot BUT [doctor who spoilers under cut]

[variousqueerthings]

finally got the chance to catch up with doctor who -- it's 73 yards now, and tbh part of the reason i put it off is because i knew it was going to unnerve me

and yeah, it is. very unnerving

[oceanwithinsblog]

just finished watching the giggle and ohmygawd has somebody said the waterworks opened ??? T____T

[nerdie-faerie]

Been avoiding tumblr since last night as working Saturdays means I keep missing doctor who but I'm finally gonna sit down and watch it

[phagodyke]

allons-y.......😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[cipher-fresh]

hello fifteenth doctor mutual today i saw a bit of the dw christmas special on the telly and ncuti gatwa is so gorgeous that its kind of compelling me to get back into dw im ngl

my man!!! the episodic stories of s14 have been some of the show’s best in recent memory and ncuti’s acting has been stellar. if you’re in need of places to watch the series I could DM them…and if nothing else there’s soooo many fun edits on youtube

[2012throwback]

the new Doctor Who specials with David Tennant, Catherine Tate and Ncuti Gatwa were genuinely so joyful and healing I’m so happy and excited for the new season

i stopped watching DW because it felt like it had become so dark and moody and just layers of unhealed trauma on top of unhealed trauma. im so excited for Ncuti’s fun and loving energy to be in the show!!!

[evadingreallife]

@ dw people can i skip the ten-donna special episodes and go straight from the last jodie episode to the new doctor? (context: im tryna watch the new episodes with mom but we never have time for one episode let alone multiple extras T_T and i want to see what kinda doctor ncuti gatwa makesssss)
