Otherwise it resembled a forgotten shrine to some barely remembered god, buried in a lost holy place.

honestly kinda obsessed by this description of the tardis (which goes on to describe the console as looking like an altar)

love this emerging genre of doctor who episode where you think it’s a surface level commentary on one topic (social media; ai), but then the rug gets pulled out from underneath you and it’s actually a more severe social commentary (racism; misogyny/incel culture), BUT THEN it’s actually a pretty adept illustration of how the first and second topics are part of the same problem (social media allows people to create echo chambers which reinforce racism and fear mongering to the point of denying their own lived reality; ai masks human biases as technological progress and exacerbates regressive movements like incel culture)

Where is "rose is watching her planet die while the doctor is slaying in the corner" I haven't seen her on my dash in a while I miss her

The dw fandom is so vast and thr vibes are so different that modern who fans are like "top 10 theories about how the TIME WAR made Satan bible afraid" and wilderness years fans are sweating in a corner frantically trying to connect uncle winky's wonderland to faction paradox with red string on a giant conspiracy board

okay cap, who tf did this😭

Captain Jack Harkness in Doctor Who: hehe, it's the guy that flirts with everyone!

Captain Jack Harkness in Torchwood: isn't it ironic that the man who can't die is surrounded by death? isn't it funny that he runs away from the consequences just like the Doctor runs away from him? doesn't it kill you, Jack? doesn't it hurt?

my girllll

Rose Tyler was poor. She didn't finish her A-levels, she lived in government housing, she worked a shitty retail job with no hope of college or university on the horizon, she was 300% what her classist society would view as trashy; thick mascara, dark roots, the whole nine yards.

But she was the most important woman in the universe to the Doctor, to so many she impacted; beautiful, brilliant, adored. She was the love of his live(s), and so, so many who met her were touched in some way just because she was herself, and because her conviction, her love, and her compassion were so powerful that they radiated across universes, throughout time, and changed everything, over and over again.

And I know all of this has been said so many times, for almost twenty years now, but Rose, I think you will always be my favorite fictional woman of all time.

there's something about the fourth and seven doctors. perceived as the most alien, the most mysterious, on some level distant from other, more human incarnations... and yet i don't really see it. perhaps it's the antics that connect them. this is a philosopher with the soul of a clown, a byronic hero operating off cartoon logic. a mystery with a heart of gold. this is the doctor at his most fall-flat-on-my-face, the doctor at his most whimsical and silly. and yet he's witty. he's kind. it's not a kindness that often shows, but it's a kindness that undergirds everything he thinks and does. he's not very good at being bad! he can do convoluted plans all he likes, but they fall apart the moment his friends are in danger. he could destroy the daleks for good. in fact, he would. but there's always a spanner in the works. this is the doctor at his most middle aged. i love it.

“ap gwilliam was the worst prime minister” doctor. babe. i know why you don’t tell your companions everything at once, but you’re really gonna tell them a bald-faced lie like that. your ex murdered a tenth of earth’s population and immediately turned the entire planet into a hellscape, there is some steep competition here

So close LibreOffice! The word I was looking for was arsenal.

Thanks for the suggestion though.

The Doctor - Not Strong Enough

The Rescue (1965)

truly fifteen is the first doctor where i understand why everyone can't help but fall in love with them. like. their strange and earnest rizz is off the charts.

I liked this a lot

"You can tell everything about a person from the hotel room they choose" is the new "If your phone has scratch marks, you're an alcoholic"

Looking forward to this special

I’m just going to leave this here

that was a fun little christmas special
