Best thing about Doctor Who, and I mean this so genuinely, is the way it goes from ‘haunting Celtic folk mystery about death and penitence’ to ‘what if your group chat banter was so dire that your phone developed sentience and tried to kill you’

I think it was frankly brilliant that the first time we see 15 experience racism when time traveling is in the future and not in the past. It would have been so easy to have that happen in 'The Devil's Chord' or 'Rogue' and you know what? It would have been perfectly good, but it does sort of subconsciously reinforce the idea that racism is a thing of the past.

When... No, racism is still very much present, still normalized in different ways, and still fighting to regress society back to "the old ways". One of the richest men of the world turned one of the biggest social media platforms into a racist echo-chamber that not only allows but outright encourages the most racist rhetoric to be spoken.

It's not something The 15th Doctor or we as an audience can escape by simply going back to the present or escaping into the future, but a reality we are forced to face.

Imagine there's an apocalypse going on and you're completely lost. You're stumbling, don't know what to do, and have found yourself on the verge of death. One move and you're done for... you stand there, whimpering and feeling stupid... and then you hear a voice calling out to you. You turn your head, slowly filled with a new found hope... And then you see him. Your saviour.

It's markiplier.

That's what happened in Dot and Bubble

Absolutely adore how awful of a person Lindy is btw.

The way she started off so peppy and "teehee so lovely 🤭🥰". Only to, when it got down to the wire, kill the person who risked his life to save her. Despite the fact that by all accounts he "deserved" to live more.

Because if Ricky had survived he might have convinced the others to follow the Doctor. Or he would have at least been instrumental in keeping the others alive.

Its entirely possible they could have both survived even, if with difficulty and great risk. But Lindy was not brave or proactive or altruistic when it came down to it. She chose guaranteed survival.

The way she started awful and stayed awful. No redemption no lessons learned. Not to mention completely aware of how horrific what she did to survive was. hiding it to the end.

The Doctor can't choose who survives or what they do with their survival, truly

every time i rewatch city on the edge of forever i'm like "surely it can't actually be Like That i probably just imagined it." and then boom. "where do you estimate we belong, miss keeler?" "you? at his side as if you've always been there and always will."

I don't know if anybody said this yet, but it's so refreshing to see a bond between The Doctor and his companion that reads as equal.

Yes, the 10 and Donna had a special friendship and she could read him to filth. And 11 and the Ponds were family.

But there was always a very present sense of the Doctor being more

And when I see Ruby and 15 vibing and crushing on the same type of guy and using the same lingo and just getting each other? And so far 15 seems to want to involve Ruby in things very much.

Idk I love it
