Probably the greatest cast of characters I've ever experienced in fiction. Finally made a TierList of the Cyberpunk 2077 characters (most of them at least). Are you even surprised who my top 2 were?

Forget 7 and Ace being an unstoppable duo in stopping the corpos and being delinquents, 9 and Ace together would have burned everything corpo-related down to the ground. The two are pure anarchist punks, and would have got on so well together. I need this dynamic!

We've had Teacher/Student and Cool Uncle/Relative dynamics with the Doctor and Companion, and The Doctor would tell the companion to reign in their rage, but I would love a dynamic that show both are delinquent punks that hold so much rage equally. Gimme this type of dynamic.

Wild Blue Yonder finally cracked the case on what to do with the NewWho runtime. Just make a self-contained story, with little characters and ease up on the stakes. That way, the 45-60 minute runtime is justified without going too ambitious or rushed.

There's been intimate and affectionate Doctors inbetween, but 14 might be the first Doctor since the 6th Doctor to be 'truly' intimate with their friends. Like, there's genuine closeness, and they'd drop any hint of terror and destruction if their friend is in distress.

Small detail I love about 7 and Ace is that while past Doctors would scorn their companions if they act rash, 7 tells Ace to bottle up her rage and release all of that anger and explosive behaviour towards the more important and bigger obstacles, like corpos and powerful people.

Fascinated by this line from The Time Warrior and the implications of The Doctor's true appearance. Like, a Gallifreyan's true form is an Eldritch being, but puts on a human filter as that's a form that reassures people. But Sontarans are a rare species who can *see* The Doctor.

My favourite Doctor Who headcanon is that The Time Destructor in Daleks' Master Plan accelerated 1's age so severely that it made him weaker than normal and he was trying to holding on. He could handle smaller scaled conflicts, but the Cybermen and Toymaker were too big for him.

I much prefer when a Doctor exits an adventure completely exhausted and/or bloodied and bruised. It's evident with Doctors 1-3 and how a lot of stories show their clothes tattered and them sweaty. There's a harshness and a edge that never gets replicated again, barring EU DW.

@Pt6Confirmation While I'm not a fan of how he depicts Jotaro sometimes (seriously, he looks 50 in the 2000 OVA), when his art hits, Junichi is my favourite official artist for Jojo besides Araki. His sketch art and his work on the 1993 OVA is stunning.

Matt Smith voice acting in 2010 was so funny, because in the Adventure Games he made the 11th Doctor sound like a quiet, yet angry psycho, who was on the brink of murdering whoever was closest to his vicinity.

My irl friend's favourite Doctors are 3 and 11, which I'm not knocking him down on, they're great Doctors, but it's an interesting opinion considering how far removed these two Doctors are from each other in personalities. Are any of your two favourites different from each other?

The Master and Jo have one of the most complex dynamics in the Series. With The Master, there seems to be genuine care for Jo, often reassuring and even apologising to her, possibly the only human he shows care for. Yet, he's still driven by his goals. It's a fascinating dynamic.

Hear me out: A Multi-Doctor story that has 5 and 9 together. 5 is a Doctor that more than any other incarnation, thrives on being upper-class and 'British', whilst 9 thrives on being working-class. It would bring a fascinating dynamic of the two conflicting against one another.

8 is absolutely the type of Doctor to go back to a previous 7th Doctor companion and try and amend the relationship to prove to them he's not 7 anymore... While doing almost exactly the same things 7 would do, only subconsciously instead of overtly, and with different methods.

I may be somewhat critical of Joseph Lidster's Big Finish stories (even then, it's less him and more BF not carrying his big status-quo changes), but his work on Torchwood and Sarah Jane Adventures is not just top-tier stories for those shows, it's top-tier Doctor Who.

Usually whenever a companion is hurt, any other incarnation, while angry, would just threaten the enemy. But 4 in The Sontaran Experiment goes full on Beserker mode, and goes to tear Styre apart without any plan. It's an underrated character moment that I wish we had more of.

It is usually rare, but I do love whenever The Doctor just cries. It's often a very vulnerable feeling for an ancient alien, and I do kinda wish that there were more moments of it. (Unless it's the 10th Doctor, then I'm yelling at my TV for him to stop crying, the whiney baby)

There's something about the crime procedural vibes of The Woman Who Fell To Earth that makes it the best 13th Doctor story for me. If the entire era had that subgenre, as that's where Chibnall's best writing strength lies at, it could've been the freshest Doctor Who era in ages.

The Hinchcliffe era often plays on Gothic Horror tropes, but The Fendahl feels like a step above any monster in that era. Less conventional horror and more slow existential dread, a fear of the unknown. It's probably the Series' first step into Lovecraftian Horror.

Gonna sound strange, but as much as I adore 7, I find McCoy to be one of the more limited actors to play The Doctor. He is fantastic, especially in the quiet scenes, but whenever he shouts or snarls, it feels OTT and forced compared to other thespian actors like Colin or McGann.

In general, the whole 'deadliest force in the universe' trope is one of the weaker things about DW, especially when it's told and not shown, and it's even a ongoing problem in Classic Who (tho the longer runtime does show the capabilities of a force to prove it's so powerful).

Amazing that an era has a story that states 'DW as a franchise is being milked, time for it to end', and another story going 'fandom has tried to catalogue DW, only to find out it's changed for the better', yet both stories' themes never feel like they contradict each other.

The Five Doctors and Greatest Show in the Galaxy are fascinating stories about DW because underneath the campy aesthetics and fanservice, they're pessimistic meta stories about letting DW as a franchise end, otherwise the higher ups (Ragnarok) and fans (Borusa) will milk it dry.

This is the best thing RTD has ever done. Since Dark Eyes, the Big Finish I loved went downhill, more so when they bought the NewWho license, with most stories amounted to being 'Glup Shittos'. With this restriction, maybe confrontational and experimental stories can happen again

I do think that Eric Roberts' performance as The Master goes OTT and wacky when he dons the Time Lord garb, but his performance prior is amazing. Obviously, it's just The Terminator, but I think that slow-moving, wrathful persona really works for him, and adds an unsettling vibe.

@SSF1991 Even in the 'Golden Years' with the 2D games, Sonic 3K had realistic and grounded environments. They've been here since 1994, I think they're a mainstay for the franchise

There's some bitter irony about Charley, someone that 8 cared for but was ultimately detached and closed off, taking part in an event that ultimately lead to his future friend, Lucie's demise, someone who 8 was originally detached by but grew to care for.

South Park constantly calls out Cartman, who wants to exterminate gingers and Jewish people, racist, homophobic, sexist, killed his own dad and stepmom and grounded them into chili so his half-brother ate them. Right-wingers: Hmm, Cartman is a good person who I agree with.

To this day, I am so miffed that the story to celebrate 25 years of the 8th Doctor, ends up being a multi-Doctor story with 11, meeting two versions of Rose Tyler and fighting Sontarans. Three things that have nothing to do with 8's legacy. What a celebration of 25 years(!)

Fun drinking game: take a shot every time a McCoy story has an explosion and/or sparks flying off something. Go on, I guarantee that it's fun.

Just in case if you forgot that Russell T Davies came from the Wilderness Years first. Can you imagine an 8 year old who's only been exposed to the relative PG NewWho run, sees the Rose novelisation and reads it, seeing the absolute carnage on display, lol

It's said that Day of the Doctor hurts 9/10's character arc of grieving over the Time War, so I like how Doom Coalition gives a different meaning to them blaming themselves, by having 8 stop a Time Lord from changing the future, but in doing so, the Time War now *must* happen.
