Ok but most importantly, this is the first time the Doctor has really LOOKED at Susan Twist. Looked her DEAD in the eye. In all other scenes she's been a person you could easily brush off and one the Doctor didn't get a proper look at. Now he was FORCED to look at her.
I wonder, I wonder...

sorry going fuck wild about 15 referencing ‘a sad old man once told me, what survives of us is love’ quoting philip larkin’s ‘an arundel tomb’ but the whole quote is “… to prove / our almost-instinct almost true / what will survive of us is love”… our almost but not quite true instinct is that love survives us all - we don’t know what survives us, and we will never know what survives us. a stone effigy can never be fully accurate to the love that may or may not have proceeded it, or so the poem says
but of course, this is doctor who - love is what survives us all. of course, he’s a sad old man (aren’t they both?) and we know, and the doctor knows, that love does survive us all… dad to dad, dust to dust…. clara’s half a heartbeat… burning up a sun just to say goodbye… in the doctor’s experience, of course it’s true - what survives of him is love, every single time

criticizing capitalism. criticizing religion. criticizing war. some incredibly metal lines. the bug about ruby's kin. the whole snow thing coming back. the whole "parent love" thing, and the doctor using it to relate to john. oh my god this was amazing

So do we think 15 made himself at home at the lesbian gymkhana, or was that an unseen 13 adventure 🤔 or one of the other doctors for some reason. I've left out 14 because he's separate from the actual doctor now IMO and couldn't fit all the classic doctors so have left them as one block because I'm not as familiar with them.

I just caught up on Doctor Who.
I’m really enjoying Ncuti’s Doctor so far. He’s fun and I like the dynamic with Ruby.
I just hate that they made Ruby another mystery or “special” companion. I just want an everyday typical person to go traveling with the Doctor not someone who has to be figured out or solved.

if you watching doctor who and go "what" every 5 seconds then the show is doing its job

Oh that's why there's no exclamation point in Boom even though it would've made sense, it would've been too on the nose a critique of Kerblam!, I get it.

That was, without a doubt, the single most stressful episode of Doctor Who I have ever seen.

I love this new doctor. I love how he’s snarky and sarcastic when angry.
I really liked this new episode, Boom. There’s so much that I am enjoying with this new season! Can’t wait to see more
