whenever people talk about ideas for the "whoniverse" i always can't help but be like. but what's the point. like people talk about the potential of setting shows "in the doctor who universe" but doctor who barely has a consistent universe that's the whole appeal! the show constantly makes shit up in order to facilitate whatever story it's telling that particular week and that often involves contradicting itself and none of us care because nobody is coming to doctor who for expansive lore. the show's entire MO is that it can do anything and be anything all on its own. what can an expanded universe possibly do but dilute that

#blahs #dw #i think maybe the only piece of lore with the staying power to do something interesting would be gallifrey #but the show is determined to keep blowing it up so idk how that would even work lmao #i prefer the lighter touch with gallifrey and the doctor's backstory but i think i could be convinced if you did something really good #the other obvious idea is to do what torchwood and sarah jane adventures already did #and have a bunch of normals on earth doing a monster of the week show #which is fine! but we have been there before #all this being said if they ever were to do a paternoster gang spinoff i would take this all back and suddenly become its strongest soldier
