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
#(positive)#but also like. heartbreaking#jesus christ#im gonna be haunted by that frame of him pressing the button and his last two words for uh. ever? forever. yeah#have thought about it every waking second today. i want to watch it a million more times#the whole episode gave 2012-2013 Who in the best way possible#avi speaks#doctor who#rogue DW#jonathan groff#ncuti gatwa

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.
#dw negativity#im just not feeling anything for the new series#like im watching it and i have zero complaints about ncuti and millie's acting as they are fabulous#but the storylines and the direction its going in#it feels forced and flat#and the side characters feel so one-dimensional#again disney has a part to play in this as well as RTD#and RTD is the main writer for this series#which is ridiculous#but ehhh#spacebabies was way too childish for me#did not like it#73 yards good performance from millie but the ending result was so lazy and the friendship between marti and ruby barely explored#and dot and bubble...#i've reblogged a lot of other posts with similiar thoughts to me as its not really my place to speak out about it#but ehhhh#what is everyone elses thoughts??

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?
#doctor who#new who#nuwho#new new who#ncuti gatwa#doctorwho#DW#like seriously how have you watched this to this point?#i saw someone else say “im glad they brought back DT it ends the show nicely for me#like... David tennant would hate you for that#lou's original posts

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
#text#dw spoilers#im just... guess im gonna wait for the next season to see if it gets any better. like not excited but there will be a new season#which is good#kudos to ncuti and the cast - absolutely brilliant as always#but in the middle of this season I forgot there's doctor who going on and stopped being excited about it#it did not even feel like a season#but it's not just this but also specials... i love donna and of course i love dt... but i felt less and less with each second#laughed about few jokes#but that's it#but i wanted to feel something more#and yeah i guess i could write about what i did not like in the writing#what could be better#but honestly... not worth of my time i guess#like i don't even want to spend my time talking about these things i better watch something else#or talk about things that make me feel something#i already forgot what was happening half of the season anyway to talk about it#a good story stays with you

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
#category 5 just rewatched journey’s end moment#i need a new dw tag because the old one i used when i was 12 and it’s so so so dearly embarrassing.#also im fully ready to do whovian era….2!!!!! it’s no longer cringe im free im so free guys.#ncuti time!!!! im not watching 13 though i promise to finish 12 at some point i got too sad about clara.#hmmm….#doc who#<- thats the new tag lets all get used to it

your tags are SO true like it was one thing to bring tennant back pre-ncuti, since the whole point of that was quite transparently to increase viewership FOR ncuti, but to be like "actually tennant!doctor gets to go have his own life and ncuti is a totally different offshoot" is like ....... well.
i'm screaming a lot in the tags but i'm guessing you meant these ones?
#honestly. horrible horrible flex to set ncuti up across from the most beloved doctor from the start?#like i (and im guessing a lot of other people!) will /always/ be drawn to 10 and feel like he's our doctor#don't set ncuti up like that!! deny us dt and MAKE US LOOK AT HIM. this is so SO weird rtd wtf did you do
because yeah. it actually makes me a bit furious because leaving a spare doctor hanging around and sending Ncuti off as a double is just handing the perfect excuse to every bigot who wants to claim that Ncuti isn't the real doctor, the real doctor is back on earth in Donna Noble's garden. Why do that? Why make it easy for fans who want to drop the show now and pretend it's always the old way, forever?
i can think of reasons for doing it this way—like i'm 95% certain this was just a convoluted way to give Donna her happy ending—but none of the possible reasons i can think of justify going about it like this. I love Ten, and Tennant, I could watch him go on adventures forever, but the point should be I DON'T GET TO because because here's A WHOLE NEW WONDERFUL DOCTOR to go on adventures with! The whole constant point in Who is that change and death DO happen, and one of the joys is grieving the old while embracing the new!
But this episode doing this weird little pivot where you can die but still live, where a separate form of you can rest* so you can go on adventures....idk what moral RTD was aiming for here but it feels like he just shot his own next era in the foot for no particular reason beyond "we love Ten" (and we do but. come on)
*(what does that even mean?? canonically we know the doctor is restless and always running into trouble so what was the point of that?? it's confirmed he's going to mars on fun little trips!! this is the same man and you gave him a tardis and apparently there's no sacrifice at all?? what is this!! why!!)
#the giggle#dw spoilers#part of me is like. it's the epilogue! it's putting a button on the old universe and nuwho. but like—#NCUTI IS IN THE SAME UNIVERSE. it's still his universe! what are we even putting a button on here? are you going to tell me that every time#london gets invaded for the rest of the show (and lets be honest its going to happen within like 2 episodes anyway) we're all going to sit#and not wonder where The Other Doctor With His Own Goddamn Tardis is? why he is not helping here?#also. side note. it is not as egregious as *waves hands* everything else about this#but it felt like a very very big disservice to have ncuti's first moments still be david's#because i'll be honest. when david is onscreen i will watch him first. i will watch him and pay attention to him because he's my favorite!#putting ncuti across from ten (THE fave) is making him do TOO MUCH in his first twenty minutes of screentime#felt like setting him up to fail from the get go because of COURSE i was distracted by david tennant it's david tennant. OF COURSE.#just feel like rtd should have known better. PEOPLE DIE. make 10/14 die!! i will hate it but make me deal with it!!#then make me see 15 and fall fully in love with him#can you imagine if nine had been around during ten's first ep? skinny dt wouldn't have stood a chance. thats why we DO it this way russell#you HAVE TO MAKE US DEAL WITH LOSS. ugh im done fuming but yeah not happy w that#i mean. monkey brain me who loves ten and wants him to live forever was delighted.#the rest of me who has a brain and thought processes thought it was dirt and made 0 sense in any way.

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
#doctor who#phineas and ferb#meep#meap#im finally getting around to watching the dw specials#all bc i saw a gif of ncuti in a tank and kilt dancing in a club and thought to myself#thats the hottest thing ive seen all week

cant believe im going to say this but the timeless child actually made more sense then what the hell happened last night
#random emma thoughts#dw#rant in the tags#and thats not me just saying that cause i just didnt like the ending last night#legit i thought over it and the lore change by chibnall makes more sense in why it happened and why they changed the lore like that#last night? just bullshit came up with so they didnt have to 'get rid' of tennant again#and somehow keep him around cause they just love him so very very much#i cannot tell you how my excitement died down so fast with that 'bigeneration' shit#honestly i felt like i wanted to stop watching but i kept watching for ncuti#im not letting people ruin his moment no matter how hard they try

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

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
#dw posting#i dont really mind spoilers tbh i think they can even be fun for getting you hyped up about a show#and some of the spoils i saw on previous episodes didnt even make a difference because they didnt even manage to capture the episode#but with this being ncutis first episode ive been trying to avoid it havent been entirely successful#im just tired after to work to appreciate it i prefer to watch it with dinner anyway reminds me of when i used to watch it as a kid#ive got apple crumble in the oven atm so ill have that to enjoy with dw as well

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!!!
