THE TENTH DOCTOR and DONNA NOBLE in PARTNERS IN CRIME

It's like I had that one day with you, and I was going to change. I was going to do so much. Then I woke up the next morning, same old life. It's like you were never there. And I tried. I did try. I went to Egypt. I was going to go barefoot and everything. And then it's all bus trips and guidebooks and don't drink the water, and two weeks later you're back home. It's nothing like being with you. I must have been mad turning down that offer. What offer? To come with you. Come with me? Oh yes, please.

i'm curious - if you never watched classic who while it was airing (either through just not watching it or being too young), what was your first introduction to it?

fanonical

This is possibly the best way anyone's been introduced to Classic Who ever

#my da said LOOK I HAVE OLD SCI-FI THAT'S BOTH GOOD AND SILLY #this was roughly 2004 so like riiiight before it came back but if he knew that I didn't #so my first doctor was 4 since that was Da's favorite #it's important to understand we're both American

I love showing my non-Doctor Who friends the clip from the five doctors where everybody gets abducted by the weird triangles without context and refusing to elaborate

The person who composed the Dr Who theme tune back in 1963, Ron Grainer, didn’t actually arrange it - that was mostly the work of Delia Derbyshire and some other BBC people.

I’m bringing this up because, in 1980, Grainer finally did produce an arrangement of the Dr Who theme, as he had imagined it, and, well, you will not expect what you’re about to hear

Four years later, I’m still not over this.

Someone with more video editing skill/patience than me please make the 70s cop show opening (with freeze frames on each major actor, you know the type) that this so badly wants to be.

op i have excellent news:

so near yet so far

I think if the first doctor, given an opportunity to pick out a pronoun pin, would stand there for ages thinking about it REALLY hard. & Then carefully select he/him.

penny-anna

This is in contrast to the second doctor who would just grab a handful of badges, attach them all to xyr braces and coat, and get on with her day without giving it any more thought.

penny-anna

While desire to use multiple pronouns is a factor, Two is also motivated by a magpie like desire to attach lots and lots of coloured badges to themself

penny-anna

I don't have one for every doctor but can give you

Four would go 'oh no thank you, I don't use those' and they'd be like 'pronoun pins?' and Four would be like 'no, pronouns. Fiendish things.'

As per the notes Six would be like 'no thank you, I brought my own' and produce a badge shaped like a cat

Seven pulls out a badge that says ??/?? (Gotta keep em guessing)

penny-anna

Nine chooses she/her and Rose is like haha for real tho and Nine's like who says it's a joke Rose is like lol ok and then spends half the event hiding in the corner taking an 'am I a lesbian' quiz on her phone

I feel like "the Doctor often thinks of his human friends as pets whether he realizes it or not, which leads him to make decisions for them and disregard their agency because he is from an ultra fascist spacetime empire, and he will often internalize that he is a detriment to their lives"

and

"crucially, the Doctor is wrong about this because his companions are his friends who choose to travel with him despite the danger the Doctor's lifestyle poses because they love him and he loves them, and he is more at home among humans than time lords"

are two truths that coexist

#me and my cats in a nutshell #I should start calling my current cat Martha because I spend all my time not appreciating him for himself and instead #grieving my poor previous kitty who is actually even dead and not even trapped in an alternate world with people who love him #meanwhile the other cat I need to call Ianandbarbra because she truly understands her life #as having been kidnapped by aliens

it's unpleasant to admit but the master does human bigotry on purpose. not because he has any stake in the game, i think he just relishes in any chance to be mean. misogyny means nothing to him, but any opportunity to make life worse for other people, you know?
