#added these tags as an addition in the rbs so go in the notes if you wanna read them more easily ->#so many takes i saw abt the new dw season (almost exclusively from ppl who just started watching it) were #about the resolutions not making sense or how not understanding how the plot (esp 73 yards and the finales) was annoying #and like...i absolutely see how it can be annoying if u approach it like you would any #other media but the reason it's different is coz it's scifi... specifically the ghost of extreeeemely old scifi. foundational scifi even #a lot of criticism i keep seeing is really like. person who's never interacted with proper extreme scifi #like maybe the genre isnt for you and that's ok too... but also u can make the effort to #open your heart and accept that scifi has always been really out there concepts and #bad special effects that ultimately just say stuff abt regular life #like for example umm idk like... you dont have to take sutekh clinging to #the tardis literally. he just represents the doctor causing death. or the 73 yard woman as anything #she just represents ruby's fear that there's something deeply wrong with her that makes #everyone abandon her that she will never ever get to understand. & so on....#like you can (and should) take them at face value too ofc but they also represent things. there's layers...#scifi #doctor who #science fiction
