I'm sorry; I hate to be a party-pooper but WHY wasn't Yaz mentioned? Virtually every significant romantic relationship was mentioned at some point, except the one the Doctor literally had three episodes ago!

Say what you want about 13 but her outfits were great. The coat WITH a hood? The cropped pants? The BOOTS? Amazing, practical, wonderful in every way I love her <3

The Sarah Jane Adventures is what the Chibnall era of Doctor Who wishes it was:
Diverse ensemble cast led by strong female lead with plenty of presence, that tackles some bold new aliens while revisiting familiar favourites, firmly grounded in Doctor who’s classic history. Kid friendly, yet enjoyable for adults. Strong pacifist, anti-gun morals, cleverly executed in a way that feels natural for the characters, the tone, and the overall story. Importance placed on family dynamics, with some light exploration of adoption, divorce, and being abandoned by parent(s), (and of course, found family). Balanced story telling that allows all characters to show off their personality and skills during an episode.

I just found out that the first episode of doctor who came out 10 days before i was born and now I'm crying over that. God, this show means so much to me and she's my age. Now knowing that, I feel like she's been watching over me all my life.

Listening to the Chris Chibnall interview I think I might have fallen more in love with Thasmin which is so heart breaking because they have been gone almost a year and aren't coming back. I'm glad the Doctor was getting Yaz ready to leave her but both her and Yaz were not getting me ready for them to leave me!! lol

i think one of the main reasons why i’m not connecting to thirteen’s companions is that they don’t get put through the wringer by themselves, they aren’t given the chance to prove themselves outside of the doctor’s immediate influence. amy was constantly being turned into a doll or a vampire or a flesh copy of her body or staying in an alien health facility for 30 years or falling pregnant or being possessed by a weeping angel or having her memories extracted to build a mythical prison for her best friend or falling pregnant or being cloned by a tesselecta or. you get it. clara was always being locked inside a dalek or uploaded to the cloud or travelling through the doctor’s timestream or being left to fend for herself against dimension-shifting creatures or being locked inside a zygon pod. you get the gist. they were vital to the plot both in one-off episodic stories and overarching arcs in a way that reached beyond giving the doctor pep talks to cheer them up and following them around asking questions.
what exactly has ryan done by himself apart from following the instructions on the plane which had been left by the doctor anyway? what exactly has graham done apart from grieving for his dead wife? what exactly has yaz accomplished on her own apart from that one 2-minute sequence in spyfall where she got transmatted to the kasaavin realm?
they hardly serve any purpose to further the story. they just hang around. space tourists, not companions. even in danger they just seem to rely on the doctor’s intelligence to clever them out of it and save their lives, not once so far (i’m halfway through s12) have any of them shown proper initiative or any distinguishing traits beyond a corny sense of humour tbh

Thasmin & How the Changing of Showrunners Handicapped Their Story
You know what? I'm going to rant about it. I've been thinking about Doctor Who from a Watsonian versus Doylist point of view on a constant basis, especially when it comes to showrunners and how the doctor is handed over from showrunner to showrunner and how the exit of Yaz from the show is it possibly the clearest example in the world of this feeling of a showrunner being switched. I'm not talking writing differences, I'm not talking stylistic differences, I'm talking the way that she left the show. Because I would put all of my life savings on the fact that if Thirteen and fourteen had the same show runner, Yaz would have been able to stay around for 13's regeneration. You can feel the writing of the show STRAINING to justify why Thirteen would dump her/leave her behind. It feels abrupt because it IS. Rose got to continue her story with 10 until its organic end. Same with Clara. Hell, even River, though her circumstances were slightly different. There is literally no reason why Fourteen wouldn't go after her the moment the 60th specials end except for the fact that for some absolutely weird reason RTD didn't mention Yaz ONCE despite 14 being more "emotionally open" than the Doctors before him.
Like, I'm going to be honest. I'm mostly ambivalent on Thasmin. I think they're sweet and had potential and got screwed in the build up in seasons 11 and 12 (up until Revolution, even). But if I was y'all I would be PISSED. Because that kind of treatment of Yaz and Thasmin as a love story sucked from both the Power of the Doctor AND the 60th anniversary specials. No closure. No real explanation. No acknowledgement of the main love story of the last showrunner. (Even Steven Moffat name-dropped Bad Wolf/Rose in the 50th special, though he did also have the whole 10th Doctor running around with Elizabeth I thing so maybe that cancels itself out.) The mechanics of the show and how it's run screwed you over. And I'm sorry. I hope y'all get some acknowledgement in 15's Era. I'll be pleasantly and happily surprised if we get a cameo (or some miraculous wrap-up of the storyline ala Husbands of River Song), but seeing how the most logical place for a mention (the toymaker) came and went without a peep I'm not hedging my bets.
(Going to go check out some fanfic, though- and imagine that fourteen took off towards Sheffield the moment the 60th anniversary wrapped!)

You know your gay sci fi ship is elite when they have a heartbreaking touching hands through glass scene about one of them dying

late night analysis
thinking about how the doctor (2005) had never fallen in love with a companion aside from rose and river—well river sort of picked him out instead of vice versa, so it's really only Rose...
and that they have such a track record of things going horribly horribly wrong and they've been going down this *path* of closing themselves off to their companions that started off after Rose.
of COURSE they kept their companions at arm's length. They probably think themselves selfish for still having companions around at all when every single one has gotten hurt or worse all because of them.
look at Eleven and how he treats Rory and Amy. 'Don't wander off'. With Twelve he could finally shed his facade and focus on how old he is, and then he found his match with Clara and we know what happened to her.
So Thirteen is back with the same sort of 'life is performance, life is fun presentation' energy that never felt genuine—
because we know what the doctor truly is behind it. And it's not...fun. It's terrifying and hollow and ancient. But of course Thirteen's regeneration is young again, though like Vastra says, that's not for her it's for the sake of those around her. God Vastra is the best. Right on the nose. Thematically a lot of the newer shit in the Flux was about the doctor being pulled in a million different directions and trying to figure out who she, personally, is.
She's lost her sense of self—literally lost her memories and so she's absolutely obsessed solving with this identity crisis…Honestly, the doctor wants to go back to when they were just having fun, so it has to be presented as 'just another puzzle.
Thirteen loves Graham and Ryan and Yaz, oh, she loves Yaz, but knows simply how dangerous the love of the doctor can be.
the thasmin confession works. cause the doctor says they wouldn’t be with anyone but Yaz is close, and that’s does NOT mean the doctor didn’t like her—only that for a being with two hearts, it’s twice the pain when they’re broken.

The further and further we move away from 13 era Who the more and more I feel thankful to Jodie, Mandip, Chibs and crew that we have it.
I don’t think I realised how lucky we were when it was on or how likely it was going to be the only era of its kind.
Chibs had a harder time than the other showrunners of NuWho. It was a constant uphill battle, a lot of the fandom already didn’t like his writing and didn’t want him as showrunner, a good chunk of the fandom didn’t really want a female doctor, they weren’t interested in a more naturalistic less campy version of the show, budgets at the BBC became tighter, BBC were more restrictive and then to top it off there was a world wide pandemic, destroying industries, taking lives and making feats like making flux seem like it would be impossible.
The show was a light in the darkness during that time, Jodie shone brighter then a diamond as the Doctor we all needed, not just in the show but here in the real world for all of us.
I hope we never forget how lucky we were that these people put their love, time, dedication and mental resilience especially against an ever hostile ‘fan’base on the line to give us this wonderful era of the show, it will be sorely miss.
