Kate Stewart, finding out that the Doctor isn't a cute blond lesbian anymore:

The life of a Time Lord 🤷‍♀️

still can’t get over the fact that the current doctor right now at this moment in the year of our lord 2023 is david tennant. he’s the doctor. the current doctor. thirteen has regenerated. jodie isn’t the doctor, david is. this is nuts. last time people could truthfully say “david tennant is the current doctor” i was four years old. this is nuts i can’t believe i’m alive

LOVE that there's now been four separate occasions where we've gotten more Donna and Doctor content because Catherine Tate and David Tennant like hanging out together. AND a banger Much Ado About Nothing production. Peace and love on planet Earth

Doctor Who Disability Rep

Wanted to do a quick shoutout to Shirley, the UNIT woman from the first episode of the 60th anniversary special. Excellent disability representation for multiple reasons:

Introduced like any other UNIT character, investigating a crashed spaceship; no one acknowledges the wheelchair until her third or fourth appearance in the episode.

Doing field work rather than being stuck at base (like a lot of characters in wheelchairs)

In a top position at UNIT, sharing the same role the Doctor once held in the organization

She crosses her legs in the chair without physically lifting them, showing that she doesn’t have complete lower leg paralysis (might have seen this wrong, but I believe her arms stayed still). Most characters in wheelchairs are fully paralyzed in the legs, but in reality, many folks in wheelchairs can move their legs about or even walk for some time. A minor detail that adds more to her representation.

Because she is in a wheelchair, she can’t join the other UNIT soldiers up the stairs to see the spaceship (which her companion is awkward about). HOWEVER, her disability actually saves her life as everyone who goes up the stairs is brainwashed. In this case, having a disability was an advantage, not a hindrance

She likely avoided further brainwashing from the other soldiers because the Meep didn’t see her as useful like the others due to her disability, allowing her to stay in the shadows and plan. Once again, the disability is an advantage.

Saves the Doctor and Noble/Temple family single-handedly by shooting a dart out of her wheelchair. She is essentially Inspector Gadget

She can also shoot rockets out of her wheelchair. I think everyone who uses a wheelchair wants one that shoots rockets.

In conclusion, we love Shirley. Wheel on, queen.

“Doctor Who - The Sixtieth Anniversary Specials”

[sprqpointintern]

remember folks, the doctor being bi is what stopped fourteen from having to say goodbye to his old face and body

Viktor Kundyshev, The Revolution and the Theatre, Exhibition to Commemorate the Sixtieth Anniversary of the Great October Revolution, 1977

Scanned from the book "The Soviet Art Poster", Penguin Books.

Kinda hope it becomes a running gag in the specials for a new TARDIS interior to be shown, only for the Doctor and Donna to end up accidentally destroying it barely a few minutes later.

i don't think there's anything better than vintage wedding photos btw

[thefabelmans2022]

....... it's not multi-doctor......?

[alannacouture]

I’m still not sure how I feel about this, tbh. While I’m excited to see 10 (or, I guess, technically 14) & especially Donna again, this seemed…odd and unnecessary. 🤷‍♀️ Oh, well.
