The next doctor who should be a dog (golden retriever) and hold his sonic screwdriver (it looks like a bone) in his mouth and he still goes on adventures in the tardis (all the buttons look like dog toys) and he wears a dumb collar that gives him an old fashioned robot voice so he can monologue about time and space and tragedy but he is also a dog so the cybermen would throw a ball and he would go after it
I think if you understand TADC as a deeply personal and direct story centering on transness, emotional/self repression, the inner complexity of cruel people, ego, control, self-destructive tendencies, second chances, and what it means to live a meaningful life, all filtered through the core vision of one person, you'll find a raw expression of all those things, an experience being shared. You'll find a story that is consistent in its theme, subject matter, and quality throughout. Not something impossibly esoteric or flawlessly sophisticated, but a story that puts every piece it needs to into place. A story that completes itself, that says what it needs to and leaves a mark after it does.
Conversely, if you understand TADC as a story to take every single aspect, moment, outcome, and detail totally literally rather than in tandem with the thematic signficance it communicates. Or were looking for a more lore-driven story. Or were hoping for a more rounded exploration of its world and characters, a hollistic dive into the premise it sets up rather than a story barreling towards a specific end goal/a very pointed thematic stance. You're gonna end up disappointed with what you got.
And this is not a moral judgement, I don't think any expectation is at all more correct than another. I actually think my last point is probably even the most fair stance to have. Especially if you don't engage with any secondary material and just look at the show itself, since it doesn't totally establish Jax as a core focus until later in its run. Some storylines do feel very sidelined.
But if you view the show for what it was meant to be rather than what it was expected to be, I personally think it was rather beautiful. Not perfect, not the pinnacle of cinema, but as a trans woman, it was meaningful to me, dearly so. I feel like the standards its being held to aren't totally reasonable. I think it's a story that deserved to be told as it is, I think it's human.
First Doctor Episodes Be Like
The Doctor: hee hee hoo hoo i have solved your labyrinth puzzlemaster. why just a touch of sulfuric acid and the device is useless Vicki: hey doctor check this out *teaches a moon slug to rollerblade* Barbara: i'm going to overthrow the Pope Ian: *being flayed alive over a bed of hot coals*
What did you think of tadc
my face is wet for some reason
THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS EPISODE 9 SPOILERS!
Fakest idgafer in history
There has never been a character more iconic and unserious than the master cosplaying as Rasputin and doing the dance while playing music and disco lights. Surrounded by his henchmen and about to kill his greatest enemy. This man takes every single opportunity to be a diva and I’m here for it
watching doctor who is so funny because it’s a fairly harmless family show most of the time. but every few years This Guy shows up, clearly in some deeply dysfunctional, visibly sexual relationship (which they NEVER fully explain to you) with the otherwise normally family friendly main character.
he’s in maybe 3 episodes and then haunts the narrative for at least the next season. you look him up and this has been happening reliably since the 1970s and also he’s been, at various intervals, a cat, a skeleton, and a snake made of goo, during all of which the toxic yaoi has continued undisturbed
I dont have enough maids.. its not right im literally the princess where did you all go..
yeah i made another guys
Thoughts
Can we just talk about Zooble's body language when Jax says he doesn't wanna wear the maid outfit? They lean back, raise an eyebrow, and put a hand on his hip in disbelief. "Really? You don't?" Zooble has a different agenda huh? Oh this is also after Jax points out queer stereotypes. Zooble fucking clocked Jax lol
When Jax's egg cracks, I'm gonna gloat and just generally be really annoying about it. Just the worst possible sport.
Can she be any more obvious
