"Try shifting your third strand of phenotype markers one micro-spasm to the left. Just might help."

I am highly confused by Time Lord genetics...

I will just decide to head-canon that as Thirteen nudging the Doctor to be female-presenting again. No need for Time Lords to have sex-determining chromosomes as part of their genome, so whatever gender they present as is just a phenotype/variant. Low key love that, not gonna lie.

Sorry but Looms, Thasmin, and the 16th Doctor all becoming canon at the same day. Holly hell. This is wild.

How I think the Dugga Doo pitch went down (based on a comment I read which said that Murray Gold wrote it on his own without prompting and it wasn’t in the script):

Murray Gold: Hi, Russell, listen, it’s so great that you’re doing another episode devoted to music. So glad I could contribute some songs.

Russell T Davies: Well thank you, it’s a pleasure to have you on board for this, you’ve written some great tracks for Doctor Who over the years, always so thought-provoking and moving.

Murray Gold: Thanks… so anyway, I’ve written another song. It’s three minutes long, it’s a bit like that one song from the Muppets sung by the pink hoover things with eyelashes.

Russell T Davies: …I’m not sure if we’ll have time for that-

Murray Gold: It’s called Dugga Doo.

Russell T Davies: It’s called what? Anyway, like I said, I’m terribly sorry but-

Murray Gold: *Heavy breathing* DUGGA. DOO.

Russell T Davies: …Right, you know what? Okay, we’ll put it in the episode, it can be in the background of a character’s mental breakdown, it seems quite fitting for how I feel right now.

Murray Gold: *Happy Dugga Doo noises*

I love the idea that the 15th Doctor is one of the incarnations totally willing to manipulate his friends and companions, but he does it THROUGH laughs and smiles and charm, so much so that he barely even registers that that’s what he’s doing. Upbeat darkness.

Of course, “silly Doctor hiding a manipulative streak” is hardly new, but there’s a specific difference between, say, 7 using silliness to trick enemies but manipulating Ace more overtly, and 15 trying to manipulate Belinda, his potential new companion, USING his charm. It’s a (relatively) new angle on the Doctor’s manipulative behavior. I’m not gonna say it’s NEVER been done before (thousands of stories across several mediums over 60 years, I’m sure it’s cropped up), but this is the most overt example of the Doc using this specific manipulation tactic to my mind.

Belinda, having been the victim of a (clumsy) attempt at manipulation by Alan in the past, recognizes it right away and calls the Doc out, and he still doesn’t let the smile drop until he recognizes he isn’t gonna charm his way out of the situation.

And he KNOWS she’s right. But it almost makes him mad that she recognizes it too. You can see it on his face. He wants to argue back. But he knows she’s right, so he doesn’t.

you have GOT to remember when watching the new doctor who that the question is not is this good. doctor who is only ever actually 'good' once a season at most. THE ONLY QUESTION IS is it fun, camp, and has aliens. also remember the worst doctor who showrunner is always the current doctor who showrunner. now go watch the new episodes as god intended like you're ten years old and still remember how to experience joy and whimsy.
