You couldn't do a straightforward Human Nature plot set in the 12th Doctor era bc if 12 got fobwatched Clara would immediately steal his identity. Missy would also steal his identity. Absolutely insane Doctorfication possibilities.
Also, 12's forgotten memories canonically manifest as songs AND he's faceblind, so he wouldn't even have a dramatic dream journal full of half-remembered portraits, he'd just be hanging out in his university office shredding guitar solos while Bill (who he just met) is like "Wow, sick riff Professor Smith!" and he's like "Thanks, it's called I Dreamt I Rode a Dinosaur."
fantastic headline
all i have to say, after listening to the natural history of fear, is what the fuck? paul mcgann sure eats a rat
all of you 'what if ruby's the doctor's daughter' 'what if ruby's river's daughter' 'what if ruby's susan's daughter' theorists are thinking too small. what if ruby's the doctor's mum
ily bill i miss you come back
relistening to some of the earlier Big Finish stories is so so important for the reminder that a lot of dr who is actually bad and it’s an absolutely necessary part of the dr who ecosystem. imagine if every story were a scherzo or the natural history of fear or jubilee. dr who is healthiest when it’s mostly shitty and then they hit you with one of the most incredible insane things you’ve ever encountered. and right after that it’s bad again
Everyday I mourn the fact that we did not get more bill and twelve content
can’t believe it’s now canon that the doctor just has a robot version of the master that contains his consciousness living in the tardis. for Reasons.
2011 called they want them
Me and my homophobic grandma watched “Rogue” the other day and she shipped Rogue and the Doctor. Glad to know that the chemistry between Ncuti Gatwa and Jonathan Groff was so powerful that it could cure someone of homophobia.
