Not looking forward to the “hey some disabled people really would want the option of a miracle cure and might not consider a disabled character being cured an inherently ableist concept but also yes there is a pre-existing troubling and pervasive trend around how disabled characters being cured is handled in fiction” discussion to be had over Daniel in s3 bc nobody can ever be chill and normal about it

#personally I think it would be cool if he still had parkinsons symptoms #but I’m also not about to like. crucify anyone if he doesn’t #it sucks honesty to even act like he’s somehow Not Disabled just bc he doesn’t have visible symptoms anymore #I can understand Why it be upsetting to see those erased ofc #but it’s not like he’s suddenly not a disabled character.#he is in fact still an addict and also has completely new and unfamiliar physical limitations to adjust to #I think there is in fact still more than one way to do justice to a storyline about disability w him #iwtv tv
