Hey So Back In 2005 When That Guy Said Death Is The Doctor's Constant Companion.. He Was NOT Joking

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

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."

Physician heal thyself.

Honestly if they ever did want to bring back jack harkness but not John barrowman I don't think it'd be too drastic a story element to have a different actor play him. Like slap in another "Have you had work done?" and nobody would care. He ends up as a head in a jar yeah he's gonna look different.

so normal abt academy thoschei rn ‼️

"Don't skip Nine!" I insist, ominously waving a DVD of Scream of the Shalka in your direction.
