  • It’s fun watching people react to this season, because to me it seems like a classic textbook RTD bit of Doctor Who:

    • Veers wildly between episodes that are almost unwatchable and some of the best episodes the show has ever had.
    • Is absolutely bonkers throughout.
    • Gay as all hell and completely unapolagetic about it.
    • Finale that writes itself into an awkward spot, then handwaves a bunch of stuff away and hits the Big Reset ButtonTM.
    • Creates more David Tennants.
    • Digs up a 50+ year old villain that nobody was thinking about for purely RTD reasons.
    • Villain hiding behind an anagram, also for RTD reasons.

    It’s everything I’d hoped it would be lol










  • Imagine going back to 2018 at the start of the Jodie Whitaker era and telling someone that the next showrunner would be Russell T. Davies, the 60th anniversary would star David Tennant, Catherine Tate and Bonnie Langford, Christmas specials would come back and the show would make a run for the Christmas number one single with a song about goblins, the first episode would be called Space Babies and would literally be about space babies, the second episode would be about the Beatles, feature no Beatles songs and Jinx Monsoon would turn out to be one of the best villains in ages, and episode three would be written by Steven Moffat.

    We are in an absolutely chaotic era for the show right now and I love it lol.
