RTD in 2005: here I will use the Slitheen to make sly digs at the UK government, very on the nose, tongue in cheek
RTD in 2023: yeah I'm just gonna have the prime minister straight up admit he doesn't care about any of us, why not
David is always amazing, but anyone else see Freema's little twitch of fear when he shouts in her face? The scrunch of eyes & tiny jump up? Its not overplayed in the slightest, very sutble. She's such a great actress too!
I love the Doctor's reaction of fear when he finds out there's another Time Lord. David Tennant switches from excited optimism to rageful fear in so effortlessly in a matter of seconds.
Definitely when Aziraphale is telling Crowley that he can't drive at 90mph in the middle of London, so he responds by taking his hands off the wheel, removing his eyes from the road, and saying "why not?" 😭🫶
Being mad at the scene of Ruby saying the world doesn't end in 1963 because it was used once or twice in the past is like being mad at the 'bigger on the inside' moments 😭 I'm losing my mind over this - BE MAD AT SOMETHING ACTUALLY EGREGIOUS
It's sad that I can feel so happy about an episode, have had a really good time, only to come on here and be made to feel like I'm stupid for feeling that way.
10 really did have a hard time at the back end of series 4. He gains a daughter who immediately dies. He meets his future wife who immediately dies. He tries to have a relaxing day out which results in him being possessed and almost being murdered. He finds Rose again only (1/2)
"RTD just copied and pasted the introductions/phone call/key giving/the world didn't end in 1963 from earlier episodes, silly writer man"
Yeah I much prefer when the companion isn't told anything ever and just blindly follows the Doctor like a stray 👍
Since the 11th Doctor never got his own iteration of the Master to go up against, what do we think they would have been like? Because Ten/Saxon, 12/Missy and 13/Spy are so well suited to each other!
Rose Tyler has fear of abandonment. Her dad died before she could know him, it's hinted that Jackie has multiple flings, Jimmy Stone got her to drop out of school only to end up in prison. And then the person she loves beyond comprehension, the Doctor, forces her to leave-
Okay I will give a proper review tomorrow but I will say this: I don't think you're *meant* to understand and have answers. It was like an urban legend, an old wives tale. I think it was really clever. More on it tomorrow!

to have to give her away to someone else. He's then given a prophecy of his death, which he's aware is coming soon. No wonder he snapped and went full TLV!
Some of you have never watched RTD in an interview and it SHOWS. He is not being malicious here. He's a tongue-in-cheek, rambling jokster and he always has been. Calm down ffs. He's literally just being light hearted.
Now I've calmed down a little - 14 is not 10 at all. Vocally gruffer & slightly posher. A lot less boisterous, more reserved. You can tell he has been three other people since then.
I also want to say, no matter your opinion on the NB commentary, that part of the script will have meant so much to David. And imagine his 10 year old watching that tonight, feeling represented and loved and important. That matters more than you feeling a bit 'cringe' imo.
4 and 10 are the most loved doctors in the franchise but one of them is good but ngl overrated whereas the other one is a total fucking cunt who deserved to die
Spreading some Fourteen positivity to drown out all the hate - this scene is one of the reasons Fourteen has my whole heart. It screams ‘I’m not Ten anymore’ in the most gentle way possible.
So fucking true, like there's a reason why he's popular and it's okay to like popular things you know?
But ofc it's much cooler to hate on him for some reason. And their reasoning is always so fucking flawed.
Might rebrand as a tenth doctor fan account because it’s remarkable how he’s easily the most popular Doctor but gets so much hate on twitter for…reasons

My review of 73 Yards is ready!
I want to start off by saying that I absolutely adored this episode, it's the first one where I have been fully engaged and leaning forward towards the screen the entire time. Millie Gibson gives her (1/7)
RIGHT - it doesn't matter what you think to those companions, or what I think. This version of the Doctor is the same one that fell in love (platonically) with the Ponds and was devastated when they left. And said goodbye to River at the singing towers. And watched Bill become-
Doctor Who Positivity (Tom)Ncuti Gatwa Is the best
Since he last was with this face.
The Doctor had encountered Simm Master again,
Met Missy.
Lost Nardole, Bill, Clara, The Ponds, said goodbye to Yaz.
He’s going to be different than Ten.
@CooperHillier
The fact that the Doctor must have canonically made all his companions do a lil photoshoot. When did Rose even have time in that outfit 😭
@EstrogenChic
I get what you're saying but choosing to have the most popular Doctor in terms of general audience isn't that weird. I don't think people who are disappointed are haters, the ones being rude towards Tennant certainly are (telling him to fuck off etc).
