Whatever you do, don't think about how one half of your ships are gonna die first :)

But isn't it kinda diabolical that the episode about a man who wished so hard to have a child he manifested himself an alien child....was right after the episode where Amy had to lose her own child again, in a roundabout way

Arthur broke the record of noble deaths more than Sean Bean. That's a great record to break lol

• DOCTOR WHO •

[ponds-afterword]

Rory and Twelve contents in 2026 whoa

Arthur and Peter can play such good antiheroes, like especially when Arthur was playing as Rip Hunter, and the latter as Daniel Heggarty. Dan is probably less of an antihero and more of an ambiguously gray character

I never did watch Peter in anything else before Dr Who, so discovering him swearing in Criminal Record was fantastic lmao (there was that episode of Poirot he starred in as a cameo. So young)

River Rory content!!!! Aaaaaaahhhh

I adore Amy and River but also always love to see more of dad and daughter!

I'd like more more more Ponds stuff, but I'd settle w any combination of these four atp 🥹

the thing you have to understand about doctor who is: yes it's all canon and no you, fans, writers, producers, and the doctor are not necessarily required to pay attention to or remember all of it

for example the tv show adapting Human Nature doesn't mean Human Nature didn't happen with Seven and Bernice anymore.

"was it retconned?" no

"but wouldn't the doctor remem-" he doesn't

"isn't it weird very similar events happened twice" no

"but how-" literally don't even worry about it

[ponds-afterword]

it's actually sort of a miracle that this show is so loved that it's gone on this long so yes it is the epitome of

"but how-" literally don't even worry about it

[the-evil-skull]

Listen Colin Baker is the only watchable part of his seasons, William Hartnell injected riveting vulnerability into the asshole he played onscreen, Chris Eccleston is magnetic, Patrick Troughton kept the show alive, Peter Capaldi did THAT, Tom Baker is (gestures pathetically) Tom Baker, but I still think Matt Smith is one of the best if not THE best actor to play the Doctor of all time.

- This is a different planet. Not Earth, a different one. - That's the general idea.

It's the sillies. The sillies are at the door.

Scenario, Twelve being his lecturer self and these guys are following him from behind, people thinking they're his undergraduates

At one point Twelve is being rude to them, as usual, and Thirteen is like, "you can't talk to me like that, I'm older than you"

[crow-in-snow]

Peter Capaldi as Daniel Hegarty in CRIMINAL RECORD (2024) + "fucking"

WHEN IS SEASON 2 COMING OUT

[abootstrapparadox]

worsties.

[abootstrapparadox]

i point blank refuse to believe the twelfth doctor was a professor for like seventy years in modern higher ed, dude. even if the university let him do whatever he wanted (universities do this, you just gotta plonk your big grant or award on the table. or like run their revenue generating journal.), even then, you think this fucker sat down and graded papers? you think he answered emails begging for extensions? you think he HAS an institutional email like thedoctor at stluke dot ac dot uk??? be for fucking real. look me in the eye and tell me he's been to a single departmental meeting.

[ponds-afterword]

you're underestimating the Tardis's ability to keep the doctor on top of his tasks. And he Will do them all grumpy and annoyed and such, but he will do them
