how it genuinely feels saying you like the 13th doctor in a fandom where people either hate her or only bring up the fact her writing was bad

I love the thirteenth doctor because she is this breathtakingly beautiful woman but also she is a weird little guy and I feel like we need more characters who are both in fiction

kerblam! is a slightly messy episode but ultimately i don’t think it’s as “morally bankrupt” as people make it out to be. i think people are decontextualising the “the systems aren’t the problem” quote. they literally were and that didn’t go unacknowledged - the system still had to be restructured with the temporary closing of kerblam! at the end of the episode and the partial replacement of automated systems. it definitely wasn’t a perfect allegory for late stage capitalism and revolutionising a workplace but ultimately it showed that charlie’s extreme ideology of mass murder wasn’t the perfect solution either. something that i don’t see people discuss is that the doctor asks why the robots can’t do the menial tasks. she gets told it’s because organics need to work so they have purpose. i think maybe what the episode is more likely trying to imply is that artificial systems arent at fault, it’s the way they’re operated. i just think there’s more nuance to the episode and how we can respond to it than people are allowing. i do believe it’s fair to say that in thirteen and fifteen’s series, people are much quicker to be critical of imperfect writing.

I really wish they leaned more into the inventor aspect of 13. Imagine her Macgyvering her way out of situations. Making little robot friends. Having a new sonic case every now and then. Being nervous or excited, needing something to do with her hands, and creating. Just… being good at tech.

I'm forever disappointed that the 13th Doctor never had the joke of calling herself John Smith while under cover, just for everyone to look at her real confused
