Hi guys, I'm new here due to the great Twitter exodus of 2022, so I'm looking for people to talk about my interests with
It's mainly Doctor Who, specifically:
-Classic Who
-New Who
-EU
-Second Doctor, Third Doctor, Sixth Doctor, Twelfth Doctor, Thirteenth Doctor
-Clara Oswald, Jo Grant, Sarah Jane Smith, Donna Noble, Ace
-The War Games
-Cybermen, The Master
Feel free to follow and communicate if we share some of these!
Remembrance of the Daleks is really great! However I'm starting to feel a bit lost about all the Dalek lore... Who else feels that way?
With the Season 25 Blu-ray coming in my letterbox, I've given a rewatch to the 80s Dalek trilogy (Resurrection, Revelation, Remembrance) and yeah it makes way more sense when you watch them all in a row
Also, the stories keep on getting better as you watch them so it's definitely a win!
Remember ages ago when I said Freema did an interview talking about Martha and what she was and wasn't happy with in regards to the story? I found it!
Transcript:
Interviewer: ...Do you still think about her? How do you think about Martha in the year 2019.
Freema: Ah yeah I just did a convention with David [Tennant] recently actually and he said something that um, I hadn't heard before, and he was asked about that relationship between the two chatacters and he said 'I think that the Doctor wasn't fair on her' and I sorta looked at him and I was like...I've never heard your take on that before because I knew at the time you know she was...for me there was definitely a kind of beat that they struck on that stayed maybe a little bit too long. It was the unrequited storyline an I think they stopped exploring her as a fully rounded human being in light of that and Russell [T. Davies] did say you know, it's important to him though that people can sometimes see that...you know love doesn't always have to be reciprocated and it's okay to kind of...most of us probably have that in common that we have unreciprocated...emotions than reciprocated and I was like no that's cool I get that but people also tune in for escapism and for romance and all of the magic and the, you know, the imagination so sometimes to be like grounded back down into hard truth isn't very attractive. *Laughs* So I kind of felt like she got stuck a little bit amd when people ask me if if I would go back it would only be to explore her as a fully rounded person more and she had so much going on and then it got stuck for whatever reason. But I had the best time and I feel like there's so much more potential to that person.
Sometimes RTD wants to explain his narrative choices so much that in the end they make even less sense... He should stop doing that honestly
s1 doctor who (2005) is so special to me. they had the budget of a potato. a dustbin eats a guy and burps in the pilot. it only really picks up around ep 5. nine in his jacket. rose in her peak dumbass era. the special effects that are just so bad so awful so terrible. the introduction of captain jack harkness the world was never the same. are you my mummy? what do you mean the time lords are dead doctor what the fuck do you mean you killed them all. bad wolf? bad wolf? fucking iconic.
Even though the Master said he destroyed Gallifrey out of rage because of his jealousy for the Doctor's past as the Timeless Child, I can't take my mind off the fact that he's obviously done it because he hated the Time Lords for having treated the Doctor with such cruelty.
In the latest trailer and promo they're talking about Destiny quite a lot. Crossing fingers for a Destiny of the Doctors re-release on Switch by the end of the year 🤞🤞🤞🤞
Doctor Who: Redacted
So, more than a year after the release of this audio series, I've decided to give it a go. I've listened to the trailer and so far it's great! I'll give each episode a review and publish it all when I'll have listened to the whole piece.
If you don't wanna get spoiled, you might want to skip the ep by ep review straight to the end of the post to read my overall opinion on the series.
Episode One: SOS
The episodes are pretty short, so I felt like this one went very quickly. Nothing much happens however there's already so much mystery and interrogations, I'm already hooked! There's also quite an important amount of background development for at least one the main characters. I find it really easy to like them from this first episode only since they are written and acted so naturally. I already love Cleo, whom I guess is the main character. Shawna and Abby are just a lovely little funny duet that works really well, and oh my god, Shawna's clearly in love with Abby, I can't wait to hear more about that.
I liked that L.I.N.D.A. was mentioned since the setting is really similar to this iconic story and it kind of makes it canon that the L.I.N.D.A. organisation survived the Love and Monsters events.
Also, oh my my my, I LOVE Rani I can't wait to hear more of her in the next episodes, I didn't know she was in this!
Episode 2: Hysteria
Oh this one was great as well! Certainly not as good as the first one in terms of character work, but there's a lot happening!
The references to the previous events from the TV show are great but also so frightening because you can really see the consequences of these events on the lives of the direct witnesses. I guess the two characters we met so far are the ones we see in the actual episodes (that journalist girl in Partners in Crime and that doctor who gets interviewed at the end of Smith and Jones). The latter one's story is pretty sad, I wish I could have given him a hug :(
Can't wait to hear the next one!
Episode 3: Lost
Oooooh some answers! But more questions...
It's really getting a lot more mysterious and I'm completely involved in the plot!
I don't have much more to say at this point, let's see what Episode 4 brings!
Episode 4: Angels
Yay! A whole episode referencing Blink! The return of Larry! With clothes hopefully this time!
Apparently he's not married to Sally, as the end of Blink pointed towards a romance between the two characters, but that's fine.
He said the Doctor's turning against them. What does it meeeaaaaan???
It's great to have the girls altogether in one place, even though now they seem to be in a bad position... I'm turning on the next one right away, I need to know what happens next!
Episode 5: Interrogation
I'm glad it was just UNIT because now we got to have Kate again and that is GREAT!
Also, Cleo is such a badass, she slayed this whole episode.
The tension kept going up throughout every interrogation until the climax, and just when you thought the episode couldn't be more interesting than it already was, this enigmatic guy comes in and makes Cleo speak out her bad bitch speech.
Episode 6: Recruits
A lot happens in there! Finally the Doctor appears briefly, the team is arguing, what is going ON???
The soft reveal about Cleo's father means he met the Doctor, maybe he's someone we know from the show, or a victim of one of the events from the show.
Too many questions!
Can't wait for episode 7!
Episode 7: Requiem
Oh the Doctor's finally back.
So much happens but at the same time so little does. There's only three episodes left, we've barely heard the Doctor, we have no answers...
I don't know if it gets me hooked or frustrated but I need more! All I know is that time flies by when I'm listening to this, the dialogues are superb, amazing writing and direction. It kind of makes me want to read Dawson's books!
Episode 8: Ghosts
This one was proper scary! So Requiem was Madam Vastra? I'm kind of sad they couldn't get Neve McIntosh to come back for the part but it helped not spoiling the reveal to me so that's a win I guess.
I know that there's a second series but I kind of hope the story gets wrapped up by the end of this one so that it makes a whole. We'll see!
Episode 9: Rescue
WE KNOW MORE
Actually we don't know a lot but we do know more. It's great!
I was NOT expecting Cleo to be Redacted and it's really an interesting twist that may give the finale a lot of work to do.
I can't wait to here about it!
Episode 10: Salvation
Oh the finale was so good, I didn't expect such a satisfying ending.
Cleo not joining the Tardis makes a lot of sense because she has a lot to deal with at home, she has to reconnect with her mother and learn to forgive her and herself for what they did to each other, it's not an adequate moment to fly off in the universe.
I'm glad I could finally hear 13 a bit more, and she was as great as always.
Abby and Shawna!!!!!!!!! Finally!!!!!! I wasn't sure their relationship was going to end up this way so I'm happy for them!
Great end, I love it!
Fanart by @dykepaldi
How lucky were we to have this last year! And to think I only caught up with this now! It's a wonderful piece of free media from the Whoniverse in a very well known format for the fans, but directed in such a fresh brilliant modern way! It's important to mention how important this piece is to the LGBTQIA+ community, because the main director and producer, the main writer and the members of the main cast are all part of our community. I, as a cis gay man, am not represented (I think) in this play, but it was still so emotional to me to see such bold and open trans and sapphic representation. I love that for our community and in hard times like these, it's great to be reminded that safe spaces exist. And if like for me, your safe space is just anything Doctor Who related, you know that despite the bigotry you may find around you, Doctor Who is there and cares about you.
Storywise, it's clearly written by fans, for fans, and they meddle, they play with the TV show's events, I love it, I absolutely adore it. Some parts of the story feel more hard-hitting than others do, but the overall arc is just brilliant.
It's a timing coincidence that I started listening to this less than a week before the release of the second series but honestly I'm not sure if I'll give it a go considering how Ella Watts was kicked out of the production without a word and being replaced by James Goss (whom I love) who certainly does not have a hard time finding his voice in the Whoniverse. I don't understand this decision and I'm really disappointed. Watts apparently responded with class and dignity but I'll have to say that the BBC are kind of backstabbing her after she created the whole project that was so successful in the end. Just... not cool...
I like Goss' works so maybe I'll listen to it some day, but I think I need to process the info first.
To end on a much more positive note: listen to this. You need no knowledge of any other spin off or eu stuff, and it's free on the BBC app worldwide. You're in for a great time if you haven't listened to it already.
Hey guys, it's taken me some time so I'd love it if you guys wanted to read my review of Redacted. I'm also using this post to promote the show because honestly it is really good and deserves more recognition!
In my recent NuWho rewatchs, I've noticed that in order to be moved by the series 2 finale, I need to have rewatched some of Doctor/Rose, especially Ten/Rose before, if not the whole series.
However, The Angels Take Manhattan always hits me as hard as possible even though I haven't seen any Amy, Rory or 11 content in months.
And I'm saying that as someone who prefers 10 to 11, who actively dislikes most of series 7 and who's not a fan of Amy at all. Steven Moffatt just successfully established two important characters and gave them a departure that's heartbreaking from every viewpoint, because everyone in this story seems to react differently to the events. It's just a wonderful piece of character work even though Eleven starts to be kind of a caricature of themself. The Angels Take Manhattan is heartSbreaking and is always a wonderful watch.
Cartmel really hit on to something - he really did set the template for when the show came back in 2005; a greater focus on the companion and their personal lives and character development - and the Doctor getting a darker characterization
In a way, I think Cartmel paved the way for what he saw in the program, and for what he intended to do it. RTD took a lot of inspiration for the later times of the show I believe because yes, watching Season. 26 and Series 1 feels almost the same.
To me, it shows how avant-garde Cartmel, his style and characterization were, he was really writing this season with the codes of a modern show.
That's it... I've watched episode 3 of Survival... The journey has come to an end... I don't think I've ever felt this empty...
I'll never say it enough but The War Games is such a perfect story. It's really long but it's so good, I don't get any second of boredom watching it!

Definitely Two, the guy would play the flute and do all sort of annoying things to cure his boredom without any ounce of care for your nerves.
I like him and all, but he would just be too much omg
I just finished The Sun Makers, and I never thought this would happen because of how anti-capitalist Doctor Who is in general, but I think I found THE most staunchly anti-capitalist episode of Doctor Who?? (If I'm wrong that only makes me so much more excited for the episode that could be more anticapitalist than this) Within seconds of the unjust system being explained to the Doctor and Leela, Leela without missing a beat simply goes "Oh. Have you considered Murdering That Bitch?" AND THATS THE SOLUTION !!! THATS THE MORAL OF THE STORY !!! The entire city unites together for the sole purpose of murdering these evil capitalist scum!!! AND THEY DO!! They push the motherfucker who had wronged them and oppressed them off a motherfuckin building and he FALLS TO HIS DEATH !! 1000 meters! There's no "Maybe if you were a good little worker you can change the system from the inside" or "If you actually just talk to these people you'll find a peaceful solution!" The Doctor gets on the speakerphones and says "long live the revolution"!!!! When they had successfully concluded the uprising and its time for the Doctor and Leela to leave, a whole crowd of people waves them off and they all look so happy! AND then the episode finishes with the Doctor being a little shit and purposefully ruining the chess game between him and K-9 because his little dog was simply too good!
all in all, 10/10 episode no notes
It's actually not anti-capitalist at all since it was written by Holmes to be a critic of the British tax system. Add that to the anti-Semitic villain (offensive villains seems to be his brand apparently) and you get one of the most right winged Doctor Who stories ever.
But yeah, Holmes is so good at his job that you can basically understand whatever you want from it as long as you share his rebel mind.
It kind of sucks because otherwise the story would be so good...
The best part of Classic Who is the Brigadier being 100% done with every regeneration of the Doctor that he meets
