I can't wait until Jodie Whittaker and Ncuti Gatwa have a two doctor anniversary episode with just the two of them one day
I mean I understand it had to happen because Ncuti was filming Sex Education but two Doctor-lite episodes in an 8-episode season…

This was the best episode of 13th's era, and Jodie's best performance.
Not to mention, it was the most beautiful regeneration scene from the entire, and I repeat, entire show.
I ache for more 13 now, this 13. But I guess, that's a good sine. All doctors leave at their best performance (I have reservations about 6 and 7 tho, considering the circumstances of their departures), and Jodie is the prime example: The Power of the Doctor is her best performance as the Doctor, and Chibnall's best work.
I shall miss you 13, dearly (but we know we'll see Jodie again, somehow, we will).
And here's to the Tenth Doctor, back for a wild last lap in the Tardis, and the - I'm sure he'll be - fabulous 14th Doctor, Ncuti.
i hate this racist fandom.
So like… this finale is genuinely one of the worst things I have ever seen in terms of regeneration.
You not only kneecap Whittaker’s arc by making her death a vehicle for a ~big twist~ but you are also priming the racist shitheads in the audience to attack Gatwa for the sole crime of Not Being David Tennant. The same way Hallie Bailey and Kelly Marie Tran got attacked.
Gatwa should have been Fourteen. He should have at least been allowed that. Every other goddamn actor in this series has been allowed that. But it gets taken away from him because tHe RaTiNgS.
This is far and away the tackiest way to start the R2D era. By sticking something familiar under our noses and expecting us to dance for it while undermining the actors who came before and after. What the fuck.
*bursts into RTD's house and kicks him in the face*
Listen to me, listen to me and understand
Ncuti Gatwa is the 14th Doctor. You do not get to decide this order. You do not get to follow the first female Doctor with a white man who's also already been the Doctor before.
10 returns for some weirdass shit but Ncuti is the 14th.
Get fucked
people are really revealing themselves by going “he’s home!” about david tennant showing up instead of ncuti gatwa. we see your preference.
jodie’s final moments as the doctor were gorgeous. basking in that shining sunlight, appreciating everything she’s been through, finding the strength to be optimistic about what comes next. a beautiful, hopeful end to her doctor.
i think it would’ve been so perfect to have that lovely moment be what introduced us to ncuti’s doctor.
i can’t express how mad i am that david tennant is 14. but ig i will try.
- jodie deserves a proper farewell, a moment to be remembered before all anyone thinks about is david’s return
- ncuti deserves proper hype around the start of his run
- it feels like they’re just trying to pull back old audiences who stopped watching bc of chibnall and jodie
- the whole point of regeneration is that each doctor is new. like i get revisiting the old faces or whatever but tennants had his run, i don’t get why they should bring him back via regeneration
Controversial statement about 13s regeneration.
Now I don’t know if this is controversial but I just don’t want 10 fanboys coming after me like normal lol.
Ok hear me out but if 13 the very first female doctor on the show regenerates into 10. A white straight middle aged man instead of 14 the first black male doctor that is also gay according to Neil Patrick Harris. Surely that’s a step back? It’s also favouring 10 and his 60th anniversary rather than showing 13 regenerating into 14. To me that seems like a big fuck you to 13 and 14 not allowing them to have the proper ending and starting that the show has always had.
okay i was joking but genuinely might need to become a not my doctor guy. what the fuck do you mean david tennant is the fourteenth doctor

so let me get this straight
- First female Doctor supposed to be followed by first Doctor of colour
- Instead David Tennant shows up
- He's being called the 14th for some bizarre reason
- And they didn't even have the backbone to put him in 13's gay outfit
‘Doctor Who’ Spoiler: Ncuti Gatwa is officially the Fifteenth Doctor
According to this BBC article, Ncuti Gatwa will take the reigns of the iconic Doctor role after David Tennant, who is now the fourteenth (and tenth). The article reads:
“Talking about the future, Russell T Davies, Showrunner said: “If you thought the appearance of David Tennant was a shock, we’ve got plenty more surprises on the way! The path to Ncuti’s Fifteenth Doctor is laden with mystery, horror, robots, puppets, danger and fun! And how is it connected to the return of the wonderful Donna Noble? How, what, why? We’re giving you a year to speculate, and then all hell lets loose!”“
the fact that many official sources are already referring to ncuti gatwa as the 15th doctor is actually pissing me off. not only did he get denied a traditional passing of the torch, he got booted out of his spot as the 14th by david tennant??? why is this allowed.
Don’t care what anyone says, the level of Tennant worship being so great that he gets to be 10 and 14 is hella depressing. my man is fine but he does not deserve two incarnations any more than anyone else
Mood!!
(The attention being taken away from Ncuti Gatwa is frustrating)
Exactly!! That choice was bad not only for Jodie, who was just leaving, but for introducing Ncuti as well 😭😭
