"What am I wearing?" Jodie really loves the legacy, doesn't she? To be fair, the Doctor never usually rates the outfits of his/her predecessor. |

Which is why I actually wish Tennant had regenerated in her clothing, and his first line being: "what the hell was I thinking when I picked this?"

Ok so I saw the clip of Seven talking with Ace and I was rather surprised. As far as I can tell it hints at expanded universes Seventh Doctor who would go on to become more manipulative over time.
Yet according to one person I encountered on Reddit, a person who was completely against the concept of the Seventh Doctor as being a darker incarnation, that Sophie had also grown to dislike this interpretation over the years and even tried to push back against it. Apparently she see’s him more as a teacher. So it’s odd that she’d do a scene that hints at the idea that they parted on bad terms as most book/audios suggest?
While I do think the new adventures took the idea to far, I think most will agree that the chess master aspect of McCoy was not pulled out of thin air. I agree that his teaching role to Ace has been somewhat overshadowed but it’s clear to me that his role as teacher and time’s champion clashed during onscreen.
Also if true Sophie really has left it a bit late to try and push back against the idea, given all the audios she did for big finish. Then agree to do this in live action and I can’t help but she’s being a bit wishy washy.

My second love affair with Whittaker didn't really last long. I think myself and Burrunjor are subconsciously playing a game where we take it in terms to crush on Jodie. Your turn, Burrunjor.
"Tag, you're it" is even worse than "carrot juice, carrot juice, carrot juice!" I'd say.

"Tag, you're it" is even worse than "carrot juice, carrot juice, carrot juice!" I'd say. Nah sorry, her singing voice can't enchant me again. I think part of why it surprised me was that I honestly and it's sad to say this, but I was shocked to see anything good come from Whittaker given how atrocious her performance as the Doctor was. It's incredible the way she showed no improvement over the 5 years she played the role. She actually was the Doctor for as long as Jon Pertwee, longer than Hartnell, Troughton, Smith, or hey even Tennant. To quote John Lennon himself " you must have learned something in all those years." Evidently NO. Her first series  Her last series.  Really you MUST have learned something in all those years. |

You’d think wouldn’t you. The classic actually changed overtime. Hartnell went from an aloof character to as kindly grandfather Troughton a mischievous wonder to a trickster hero. Pertwee a grumpy action hero to a rather jolly yet sad champion. Tom a jovial alien to a morose traveler. Davison, young to haunted. McCoy, an idiot to a practiced fool. Sadly it’s rather telling that most nuwho Doctors really don’t evolve over time. |

Just thought I'd post this hot drawing Maxil showed me.  Haha if only that had been in the show it would have been better. Just to be clear I am not mocking the drawing or the person who did it. I'd actually like to use this to say that I feel terrible about having shared the fan art of Missy and the Doctor on the old Hive. Again I was NEVER mocking the drawings or the people who did them. Just how much the Fitzroy Crowd had changed the characters to the point where a character played by Jon Pertwee was now starring in lesbian erotic art. Still I can see how it would come over as me sharing fans drawings and mocking them, and I hate to think I upset any of the artists, who were just fans being creative. If any of you are reading this, then I am very sorry and ashamed that my jokes may have come over as bullying. Again my beef is with the guys who made it possible for a character played by Hartnell to inspire a hot drawing like this LOL. Its nice that there is a drawing of Shobna Gulati too. Having said that though she has a cheek being judgemental of Yaz. I heard she did a bit of experimenting with this woman called Maya back in the day. She says she was attacked and tortured and that Maya wanted to kill her because she was in love with her husband Dev, but when people came to rescue Shobna, she was found in bed, with no trousers or underpants on, with Maya on top of her, both of them grunting heavily, and Maya stroking her hair sensually. Not quite the Spanish inquisition in my mind. Also when you consider what a twonk Dev was I find it hard to believe that someone would go crazy over him. |

Sadly it’s rather telling that most nuwho Doctors really don’t evolve over time. I'm sorry, but I massively disagree here. All of them went through massive shifts in characterisation (until Whittaker, who seemed perpetually frozen like a cartoon). *Eccleston is very pragmatic and ruthless in earlier episodes, ultimately abandons the military approach when he chooses not to use the gamma radiation (a far better resolution to the Time War storyline than Moffat's nonsensical retconning in Day of the Doctor). *Tennant's Doctor is the most interesting to me, as he starts off refreshed and ready to go back to being the 'old Doctor' - having adventures and fun, defending the universe etc. - to becoming the worst version of himself when things don't work out. Despite what happened in Parting of the Ways, he clearly hasn't moved on from the trauma yet. He's always so close to snapping and becoming a villain. I think it's arguably the most complex characterisation for a Doctor. *Smith's version immediately shows much more maturity. The dark aspects of the character are still there, but now he uses it as a tool whenever it's necessary, and then puts it back in the box, so to speak. It's a kind of acceptance. "Yes, I did some shit I can never undo, but now all that's left is to try and do good whenever possible". His development is more subtle, but you can see him becoming more and more tired of himself throughout the three seasons, especially after the Ponds leave. *Capaldi's arc is a redux of Eccleston/Tennant, without the same level of writing. He's ruthless in series 8, goes on a sugar high in series 9 and then refuses to regenerate in series 10. |

Nah, I don't agree. Eccleston's "solution" was to let the Daleks kill everyone anyway, and he's ultimately only saved from his own impotence by Rose. That's such a massive copout.
And Tennant was not complex as schizo, randomly flicking between a self-pitying, pacifist to the point of self-sacrificial stupidity to a complete sadistic psycho depending on the plot.
Smithy sadly somewhat degenerated from the actually complex series 5 Doctor to the series 7 incredibly childish version. Capaldi probably had the best, going from the reserved grump of his first season to the mad professor of his third, but even there that felt more like everyone desperately trying to find a persona that suited him rather than character development.
