if you do think he 'transferred his allegiance' to the doctor in enlightenment, then we never see turlough not under the 'protection' of some sort of authority figure. the headmaster (acting for the unseen solicitor) -> the black guardian -> the doctor -> the trion captain.

I took my little brother (autistic, mostly non verbal) out and he was using his voice keyboard to tell me something, and this little boy (maybe 4 or 5?) heard him and asked me "Is he a robot??" I tried to explain to him that no, he isn't a robot, he just communicates differently, but my darling brother was in the background max volume "I am robot I am robot I am robot I am robot"

tbh i have mixed feelings about the new like, assumptions about "the Ethics(tm) of rewriting people's timelines"

because don't get me wrong, I have always had a bit of a doubt with the kind of storylines that change a person's lives and "make them better" (which happen in doctor who all the way to s1 ). Fi

they're kind of iffy when you think about it too hard from the POV of "oh they just erased the AU!person because a "worse life" person has "less value" than one who's Happier/More Successful (tm) etc", and in a way, if you're very uncharitable, it's kind of a sort of murder (just one that "replaces" the murdered person immediately with a new one, who's slightly different)...

And also sometimes they're less satisfying because it's like, actually the "terrible timeline" character was pretty awesome skdlfj (old amy with the swords you'll always be famous)

(although honestly? they do tend to be very satisfying sometimes, for the simple ape brain reaction -> character i like is happy = i am happy)

but the thing that makes me have mixed feelings about it thought is that... I don't think it "gels" that well emotionally, honestly?

first, because it's a kind of "ethical dilemma" that is extremely removed from any kind of real life scenario.

you know, the old zootopia problem... IRL humans can't change the past. So spending so much time arguing its ethics seems kind of fraught to me. Or at least not super exciting, personally (in general I tend to prefer dilemmas that have some sort of parallels to irl, but I acknowledge that this is not the case for all the fandom)

and second, more of a doylist point, because it's kind of... I don't know, like oh we spent 60+ years not having a problem with this kind of story, and suddenly we're all gonna act like "yes it's always been wrong and we've Always Knew It as doctor who writers" like get out of her lol no u didn't. many times it was just played straight that "some timelines are objectively Better and as an audience u are supposed to be happy they got rewritten" (ex: Inferno). I don't know, it feels like a retcon/revisionism lol

I have absolutely heartbreaking news to share with the SCA and the broader reenactment and music communities. Wyndreth Berginsdottir, writer and original singer of Savage Daughter, is dying of lewy body dementia. Her husband desperately needs help to provide end of life care.

Spread this far and wide. She needs us. She gave us such a gift with her music and powerful voice and the least we can do is make this next stage of her journey comfortable.

so luigi mangione is framed by the media as the killer, the assassin, the terrorist, etc, and the feds enforce his guilt through sensationalist bait, but a literal assassin we have video evidence of entering the houses of the people he was killing is still only a suspect

dont see any issue continuity-wise with any parts in the first doctor era where he describes himself as human. clearly he's attempting to adhere to the time lord non-interference policy via just straight up lying.
