i’ve only seen a few episodes of four’s era but i found this outtake and i’m fuckinf crying because of it. why does he say it as if that’s his actual line
If you ask me it is, in fact, very meaningful that the 9th doctor took Rose to see her planet get destroyed on a first date and the 10th doctor took her to see it rebuilt
We need more weird historian rep in Doctor Who. The companions are too normal when faced with the prospect of time travel. I want a companion who makes a list of super specific historical destinations related to their dissertation. I want somebody whose first reaction to finding out that the Doctor is a time travelling alien is to create a Microsoft Word document and ask, “What caused the Late Bronze Age collapse?”
If I had a nickel for every time the Doctor had a sassy ginger companion he referred to as his best friend, and then said ginger companion had a daughter whose name begins with R (and was not the name they were born with) and this daughter even though human, has certain time lord characteristics due to complex plot reasons, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.
THE DOCTOR IS CANONICALLY QUEER! THE DOCTOR IS CANONICALLY QUEER!
*maybe I should’ve said the Doctor ✨continues✨ to be canonically queer, bc some of y’all are coming at me. This one just felt different to me, and I think we’re going to get more than just hints or throw away lines.
the convoluted doctor who lore gets extra funny when you realize that, at two separate points in the past, two different companions to two different doctors ended up running into rasputin but both came to the conclusion that he was a pretty nice and normal guy. which, depending on how you interpret the power of the doctor, is either a nice subversion of a lot of tropes of stories used in pre-soviet russia, or side-splittingly hilarious as you start imagining the master getting roped into various adventures with different versions of the doctor that he can’t fuck with yet or else he’ll destroy the timeline, forcing him to play nice with the humans as part of his 4D Time Chess Master Disguise Plan #3852
