God season one of nuwho is so. Your budget is a half-eaten cheese sandwich. Your props department is the rubbish tip behind the BBC studio offices. You may use one (1) cgi, and also photoshop that is exceedingly bad even for 2005. And its one of the best seasons of television ever made

The Doctor - Not Strong Enough

DOCTOR WHO (2023 - ) I Joy to the World

FUCK THOSCHEI WHERE MY GOTHRUSA BITCHES AT TO APPRECIATE THESE MESSY FRUITS

The Master always bringing in diagetic music, (I Can't Decide, Hey Missy, Rasputin, etc) because they've always been a little miffed that THEY couldn't hear the non-diagetic theme music like the Doctor could.

Imagine your best friend swore up and down they could sometimes hear situationally relavent music. Yet you were stuck with a 4 beat pounding in your head or nothing.

Like sooooo unfair. Hand me the aux, I'm leveling the playing field

that leela doesn't understand the phrase "chronic hysteresis" but does know what a time loop is implies to me that gallifreyan has scientific/non-scientific doublets somewhat akin to the latinate/germanic doublets in english. thus, leela knows damn well what the gallifreyan for time loop is, but romana using specific scientific vocabulary throws her off because it's not core vocabulary and she's simply never heard the term before

i really enjoy reading the doctor as an experiment in queer masculinity. he very often appears to be conventionally masculine on first appearances - but so often he subverts that. he can be violent, but he's against killing; he strives for peace, and remains a hero. he espouses kindness, compassion, acceptance - he's a scientist, not a military man. he keeps an open mind, and encourages understanding, even for that which most people think of as disgusting. he sees a dying insect, monstrous to human eyes, lethal to human bodies, and considers it beautiful. he dresses in a traditionally masculine manner, and yet his clothes are almost always a strange mix of styles, or several decades out of date. he's deeply rooted in victorian/edwardian fashion, which often just has the effect of turning him into a gay magician. he's often a towering, six-foot-plus, deep-voiced Authority Figure, and yet he is so gentle. sometimes he's queer in that he loves men, and kisses men, as someone adjacent to masculinity (true of practically all of his incarnations from eight onwards); sometimes he's queer in that he loves everyone, regardless of gender; sometimes he's queer in that he doesn't love anyone, and is an aromantic or asexual figure; sometimes he's queer in that he's detached from human or time lord understandings of gender; sometimes he's queer as in queer, as in weird. he's flamboyant. he's eccentric. he's your gay uncle. he can regenerate into bodies which humans are quick to identify as female, but throughout it all he seems to carry some vague inner sense of identifying with masculinity, but rejecting it in its conventional form. the doctor is queer, yes, capable of expressing himself in a whole array of ways, but more than that, he's queer and masculine. and i love that.
