When 15 accidentally calls Ruby "Rose" in the middle of the song and Ruby has a crack in her house just like Amy and 15 tells Ruby that she has the biggest family in the world which is an exact quote Sarah Jane said to him

I'm sorry but if you still think Ncuti was "overshadowed" by Tennant in that episode I really think you're just seeing what you expected to see. Confirmation bias is a hell of thing.

We have NEVER had a doctor appear earlier than the last 1-2 minutes of an episode that wasn't their official introduction. We got 20 more minutes of Ncuti than any doctor has had before.

The ENTIRE POINT of his being in those 20 minutes was to get people excited about Ncuti's doctor. It's not a secret viewership has been down, it's also not a secret people fucking love David and Catherine. They brought Ncuti in early compared to other regenerations and let his personality shine.

What other doctor has immeaditely known who they are after regeneration the way 15 did? He didn't spend half an episode lying in bed and the other half asking "what sort of man am I?" he was sure of himself from the word go and it's beautiful to see.

The whole thesis of these three episodes was from a production stand point was 1. Bring back David + Catherine to get people watching again 2. Remind them why they used to love Who with a classic creepy monster episode and then a Classic villain. 3. Get them to fall in love with Ncuti so they keep watching him.

If you think "overshadowing" Ncuti fits into that plan at all then you really don't understand what's going on here.

#doctor who #production has a VESTED interest in getting you to love ncuti #not least because theyre way ahead in production and already shooting his 2nd season #getting you excited about watching his episodes is the whole fucking point of all of this #ncuti gatwa

After seeing everyone's takes on bi-generation and thinking about the in-universe implications I think my only problem with it is the splitting of the TARDIS. It feels like it was only done because it's part of fourteen's happy ending rather than narratively making sense.

They spent two episodes reaffirming to Donna how dangerous traveling in the TARDIS is. First she almost gets left behind in WBY and is seconds away from dying before the doctor comes back for her. She literally watches her death coming towards her. Then in The Giggle the Toymaker tells her how most of the companions since her have died, and she has to listen to the Doctor make justifications about their deaths. There is no way after that she should want a functioning TARDIS anywhere near her family - ESPECIALLY her daughter.

Also in The Giggle fourteen gives a big speech about not knowing who he is without the TARDIS or his sonic. The proper narrative resolution to that isn't "oh well you get the tardis forever so we'll never have to know", it's "you'll get to spend the rest of your life finding out, and isn't that wonderful?"

It's almost like RTD set up this whole finale about the doctor finding happiness in having normalcy, but was too pressed about giving David his "perfect ending" to really go through with it.

#doctor who #like i dont care if the “science” of it makes sense #fucking with established cannon is basically who's whole thing #its just narratively unsatisfying

[tennantwhittaker]

Can we have a moment of silence for Sylvia, who now has an Alien living in her backyard, and a moment of triumph for Wilf, who now has an Alien living in his backyard

#so the tardis is wheelchair accessible now #that means it builds a room for wilf so he can live at home right? #thats my headcannon anyway #you cant tell me it wouldnt be 14s honor to take care of his grandad in his old age

[tennantwhittaker]

The one adventure you've never had.

[tennantwhittaker]

If Fifteen wants to whack a hammer against the TARDIS to duplicate it without wearing any trousers then he should be able to, Ncuti Gatwa can do what he wants.
