"average doctor has no fear of what killed their previous incarnation" factoid actualy just statistical error. average doctor is terrified of what killed their previous incarnation. Fours Georg, who lives in rocks & is scared shitless of heights, the thing that will kill him, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

immediate thought whenever i hear the word ‘alphabet’ in a doctor who setting

imagine youre going to your job as an actor and your roommate's mysterious brother shows up to play your (thirsty) archenemy

if earth has more oxygen in its atmosphere than gallifrey does and ginger has the same effects on time lords as alcohol does on humans, then the doctor is absolutely crossfaded on air and ginger in the android invasion

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)

Can we take a second to appreciate that from John and Paul’s point of view they wondered off through their recording studio, found a piano with some funny looking notes floating above it, played a little tune a whim, gave each other a gay little side glance before the piano flew away into the next room followed by intense screaming and then their entire reality turned into a musical and they received no explanation for any of it?

So, you know how we all thought that that energy thing was definitely the Timeless Child for a sec?

What if it was?

Not in the way that it IS the Timeless Child, but what if what we were seeing it as, was what The Doctor was seeing it as, is The Timeless Child?

Supposedly, the energy had a shield on it that makes you see something you are hardwired to want to protect. What if The Doctor was seeing themself there, because they are subconsciously struggling with both their own grief at their past, and their constant battle to protect themself from the grief of the present? Isn’t the one thing The Doctor does best protecting themself, from aliens or heartbreak?

Idk. I’m just being sappy. Chibnall’s a shit writer, but I can find angst potential in anything, and I will make it into my own poetry.

people don’t spray paint “bad wolf” in cryptic areas like they used to
