just push thru s11 with all your mental strength s12 n s13 are way better and yeah yaz is overrated imo. shes no fun (judy hopps? 😭🤣)

So I've been trying to catch up a bit on the 13th Doctor episodes I missed the first time around (which is to say all of them, barring some highlights clips), and it's just...

Oh, boy, is it not working for me. I wish it were. It's not. The crackle and the excitement's just gone. Even the arrangement of the theme song sounds weirdly noncommittal. And at least here at the start, the Doctor's suddenly apologetic and uncertain in a way I'm not loving -- and sure, it's post-regeneration, things are weird, and it's not like previous incarnations haven't pulled the "I'm so, so sorry" routine a time or twelve (or thirty-six), so maybe I'm reacting a little too strongly to it. But at the same time, it used to sound more like sorrow over inevitable tragedy, and here it's heavy on "she's really on the back foot here," and like she needs the sort of talks I used to get from my therapist about why I shouldn't apologize so much. I really gotta wonder about what motivated that to happen the instant she became a woman. And I also want to side-eye a few people about it. A lot.

Meanwhile, I'm not getting a whole lot out of the companions either, and I think I stopped being able to take any of this seriously the moment I realized what was bugging me about Yaz: this character is basically Judy Hopps from Zootopia, but without the personality. I mean, come on. Brand-new cop, wants to do something more exciting and meaningful than things like parking disputes, suddenly gets swept up into something WAY bigger indeed...? She's Judy fucking Hopps. But Judy had verve. She practically bounced off the screen. (No bunny puns intended.) I'm not getting anything here from Yaz but vague uncertainty and then just going along with it. Not a great start. And in the back of my head there's a sardonic voice asking, "And from this a ship was born? ...how?!"

*pitches head back, complains plaintively to the skies* I wanted to like this!

Sigh. Anyway. There's a couple episodes in this season I feel like I should watch, but I've got zero motivation to do it right now and it pains me. I just kinda want to go rewatch older episodes again. Sorry, Jodie.

professional chaos

if 13 was a university professor/lecturer, what class would they teach?

[dooweeedooguy]

Damn, you weren't kidding about the First Doctor's laughter. I have never heard a human make a sound that was the equivalent of ">:)"

Is somebody gonna match my freak

[dooweeedooguy]

Something I think about a lot is how the 13th Doctor clearly has dyed-blonde hair. She has visible dark roots. This can mean two things: Either Time Lords can just... regenerate with funky, non-natural-human hair colours (perhaps like how Time Ladies always seem to regenerate into a full beat of makeup..), OR that the regeneration energy of 12 to 13 fried her otherwise naturally brown / black hair into a blonde.

Of course, the latter leads to so much potential. Does the Doctor now have to upkeep her dye job? Does she disappear sometimes for "five minutes" only for Yaz to stare disapprovingly at her grown-out roots? Has any of the Fam ever taken her to a hair salon or does she bleach her hair in the TARDIS console room with a jug of water and some totally-safe-don't-worry Space Bleach that nearly sets the console on fire when she bumps into it? Where is all the art of 13 with dark hair?

I need answers.

I really wish they leaned more into the inventor aspect of 13. Imagine her Macgyvering her way out of situations. Making little robot friends. Having a new sonic case every now and then. Being nervous or excited, needing something to do with her hands, and creating. Just… being good at tech.

Sutekh's Sexy Adventure

I am truly, truly sorry for this. Doesn't mean I regret it. It's about Sutekh seducing the TARDIS - slightly spoilery for the legend of ruby sunday, sorry!

[dooweeedooguy]

bold of you to assume i can pronounce either of those names

okay okay I know the point of this is “White people need to put as much effort into learning how to pronounce Black people’s names as they do foreign European names” and 100% I totally agree, absolutely good point

but this tweet becomes hilarious in the context of this clip:

anyways, absolutely put effort into learning how people pronounce their names. just don’t feel bad if it takes you some time to get it right 😅

(also in case you didn’t watch the video it’s “N-SHOO-tee” not “SHOO-tee”)

they all really really saying "🤷‍♂️"

If time is a linear dimension and the TARDIS can travel through it freely, does that mean every moment in time exists simultaneously, and if so, what implications does that have for our understanding of causality and free will?

people ASSUME that that Time is a strict progression from cause to effect, but ACTUALLY, form a NON-SUBJECTIVE viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of...

so yes, everything sort of exists...at the same time.... but History is always in flux, and is only a Fixed Point created by a Time Lord's interference OR if said point in Time changes events of History significantly.
