so i was rewatching doctor who and the doctor and master only seem to do the contact thing when they’re fighting each other, but the master would absolutely mess with the doctor by making contact at like 3 in the morning or something:
master: contact
the doctor, loosing their shit, already prepping the tardis: what do you want what is it have you blown up gallifrey again
the master: no i have something to say it is very important
the doctor: what
the master: bitch

generally not super into shapeshifter characters being revealed to have like a singular True Form. isnt it much more interesting to imagine a creature so fluid and ever-changing that even they cant identify any one body as the "true" self, or simply dont see the need to?
is this you? yes. this one too? yes. but then which one is the real you? define "real" define "you" theyre all me. even the ones that are someone else? especially those.
tip: everything you pretend to becomes a part of what you are and even the facade you wear for the sake of deception reveals a crucial truth.
also: the self is a multi-faceted, ever-shifting thing
Potentially a 'hot take', I have no idea. But The Timeless Child plotline was not as much of a complete travesty as many people think. I think it was an interesting idea to explain the origins of the Time Lords.
[But then again, I have only watched a small amount of Old Who which might have explained it already.]
The only actual issue I had with the plotline was the lack of direction in terms of The Doctor's reaction. Where was the anger? Where was the pain? Where was the clear resolution?
Chris Chibnall has interesting ideas, but falls extremely short when it comes to writing CHARACTERS. And the emotions, reactions, and interactions between said characters. And this is even more evident for female characters.
But all in all, the concept itself was not the issue. And you can blather on all day about how it ruins the continuity of the plot etc etc, but remember that Doctor Who's plot HAS NO CONSISTENCY. The Doctor for instance started out as a human, and then the whole Time Lord and Gallifrey stuff came afterwards.
P.S. I know I'm not really saying anything new here. But I needed this outlet.
Oh and also, 15's Era so far is brilliant. And 'There's Always A Twist' is a banger of a song. Murray Gold slayed once again with that one.
Ever look at a character and “man, I wish the writers didn’t hate you”
I have decided that Thirteens run is one of my favorites purely because of how the show runners treat The Doctor.
Hear me out!
With Thirteen, they actually started embracing the “this character is NOT human” aspect. The other Doctors did a little bit but not near the amount of Thirteen
Thirteen with talk to her Tardis, knowing the companions can’t hear the ship talk back
Thirteen will eat dirt and sniff people and lick stuff because that’s how Time Lords work. It’s how they use all their senses to figure stuff out
Thirteen makes mentions of her past bodies all of the time. Not just because they’re male bodies, but because of how different each body is to the others
Thirteen uses her telepathy SO MUCH MORE. One of my favorite things about The Doctor is their telepathy. The fact that this run actually uses it instead of just forgetting about it warms my heart so much
They show that The Doctor is not a human so much more during Thirteen’s run than the others. It’s something that, to me, is missing a lot in this show.
Yes, The Doctor looks human to us, but they are not and never will be human. The other Doctors lean into the “I look and act human” bit so much it’s easy to forget they are not human
Thirteen’s run doesn’t do this. They don’t let you forget that The Doctor isn’t human, they remind you all the time
This is why I love Thirteen’s run so much
doctor who art dump
I'm sure it all has been said already, but anyway
I think the most permanent quality of every Master is that they are all so very dramatic and enjoy faking their own deaths even there's nobody to appreciate it like in Missy's case. I imagine her just lying there on the ground for like ten minutes and then get up and be like "Well, alright, what now?" and keep doing her business
#they shouldn’t be FIGHTING they should be FRIENDS. they have really a striking number of specific things in common#black women companions with doctors who keep the master in a box#one of whose character points is a desire to pursue higher education despite a lack of support#doctor who#bill potts#alison cheney (@lurking-latinist)
