Just watched A Christmas Carol. I think I've figured it out: Thirteen is the Doctor I want to be. Eleven is the Doctor I want to show up to take me away.

That was the first Master reveal that I ever got to see not knowing it was coming and it was glorious. I suppose you can count Yana, but I didn't even know who the master was when they did that.

Also you didn't make him wait two days, so that goes both ways for sure.

I loved it! We got our bombast back, they played 13's theme when she was clever, we're back into continuity mattering, and the Tardis improvements have softened my stance on it being the worst. But those things, and the plot? While great? That's all window dressing. The real interesting stuff is the character beats. 13 regenerated and really enjoyed her new self, and seemed more comfortable than most post-regenderation Doctors. She even made herself vulnerable immediately and made friends. And she called them friends. Not travelling companions. They were her mates. But now she's realizing that a new beginning for her doesn't mean her past never happened. It's catching up with her. And her new friends are becoming curious about her past. I know I bring up my trans experience a lot, but I don't think I'm reaching when I say this is all relatable in a big, bad way. And Jodie is just so much fun to watch.

Oh, I forgot that I hated how rapey the forced memory wipes were when I was talking about how I loved everything else. That was bad and gross.

I'm actually happy people are now defending the Master as a gal trying her best to change. It's a far cry from the HE CAN'T BE A WOMAN bullshit that happened at the time.

An Ounce of Gold posted:Hey, is anyone else bothered by the end when the Doctor said that this was just one possibility for Earth? Also, nobody knows Aliens exist despite the fact that Earth has been invaded eleventy-six times and while Eleven rebooted the universe and later erased knowledge about himself from all of creation, that conceit had been undone by the end of that same season without any real reason. Our moon is an egg. Except it's not. Don't take your pills, though, 'cause the trees might actually be talking to you. Remember the cool poo poo, try to forgive the bad, and never, ever Edit: One thing I really enjoy about Doctor Who is that you're not allowed to intersect with your own timeline, unless you already have, at which point you now must.  .

I really, really missed going  at Doctor Who, and the combination of the new Master and Jack and a second Doctor has me just  as all hell.This is all the stuff I missed last season when there was no connection to any plot other than what was happening.

What if one is the Galifrey that we saw frozen in a pocket dimension in Day of the Doctor and the other isn't?

The_Doctor posted:Oh god, I just realised this is the same thing JJ Abrams did by retconning Rian Johnson’s Last Jedi. Rian Johnson made it so that Rey came from nothing, and that didn’t matter, because she’s still very strong with the Force. Then JJ came back and decided that wouldn’t stand, I'm super sick of stories about special people being special because they're special. I just re-watched Into the Spider-Verse the other day and its message of "anybody can wear the mask" is not only a more hopeful, appropriate message for these incredibly difficult times, it's also just plain more interesting. I was hoping against hope that it turned out The Master was the timeless child, so that he could contend with the fact that he's as special and important as he's always wanted to be, but it still doesn't matter, and he'll still never be satisfied, because The Doctor is just a better person than him despite coming from nothing. Plus it makes The Master's name a bitchin' pun. This was an act of cultural vandalism. Thankfully, Doctor Who gonna' keep on Doctor Whoin,' so somebody's gonna' fix this or yadda yadda past it and we'll be right back to our TV pals going whenever and wherever there's an adventure to be had.

Stunt Rock posted:Honestly the Timeless Child twist isn't all that different from what Moffatt gave us with Matt Smith, where The Doctor was the most important and precious person in the entire universe and we were constantly being reminded of that at all times. This reveal fucks up The Doctor's entire backstory by revealing that they were The Doctor before they made the promise to themselves to become The Doctor. Never cruel. Never cowardly. Never give up. Never give in. Whoops! Nope. You're special because you came from beyond some portal that goes somewhere and instead of a rebel thumbing your nose at high society types who think you shouldn't help people, you're a loving cop.

Thank you, thread, for saying what everybody should be saying everywhere and not the gruesome alternative. This cast deserves better than Chris Chibnall.

This is the worst season of Doctor Who I've lived through in real time and I spent my first Halloween after socially transitioning dressed as Thirteen. I still wear the coat when the weather's right. It feels super icky to be negative in this thread. We're not usually negative in this thread.
