That sounds a lot like cope my friend
I do agree, the sentiment is quite nice but my biggest problem is that RTDās already done this
The End of Time, remember, when the Doctor gives his life just to save Wilf.
Hell, even Moffat did something similar with Eleven spending centuries defending one small town.
Here, itās done in such a contrived and morally confused way that I just canāt get behind it, whatever the intentions
I would totally be down for next season to be nothing but fake realities, especially if we kept thinking they were over, then things got really weird and it was another one. Like the Doctor regenerates back into Colin Baker for an episode, or, say, the Jonathan Pryce Master shows upā¦
Perhaps to a degree, but Iām actually cool with the idea of Billie as Sixteen. The thing Iām not completely sold on is the idea that everything we were shown was exactly what really happened. If it turns out that it all went down precisely the way that 70 minutes presented it, then okay, on to the next thing.
Jodie as 17 and 18 and 19
Bradley Walsh actually gets to be the Doctor for an episodeā¦
100% this! Things have gotten so messy that weāve gone meta - is The Doctor aware of their fictional nature? Are we? Where is the line? Is there a line? In the end, what constitutes ārealityā?
Yaz and 13 actually have a proper relationship as hinted at in the episode
Reality is the friends we made along the way
Wait hold on what if itās the Doctor and TARDIS fusing together?
The Bad Wolf Doctor
The TARDIS Doctor
My mind just makes that the bad Wolf Doctor, rather then the āBad Wolfā Doctor, making me think of, like, a werewolf Valeyard or somethingā¦
Okay but now I want to see the Doctor turn into a feral werewolf
I really hope there is an actually explanation! This theory is certainly intriguing
It would be an actual interesting way to take it. Let the TARDIS have a go once. Itās something interesting!
I howled!
I thought of this too, but Iām fairly sure she was only pulled in after that decision was made. I think the scene in the TARDIS is where the reshoot started, and the exact leak was something to the effect of ā13 appears to help 15 cope with his regeneration.ā
I genuinely thought for a while that this was going to happen.
15 explicitly says to 13 āthereās no chance of a bigeneration,ā so I guess that was RTDās attempt to get out of that corner heād painted himself into.
Sheās definitely wearing at least a bit of lippy in both; it might just be a lighter/more natural shade in the second. I think sheās wearing mascara and/or eyeliner in the first, and maybe not in the second.
Then it turns out to just be his nickname on The Chase (the game show, not the DW serial).
I canāt believe I didnāt make this joke earlierā¦
Fans: Why do you keep making bad decisions?
Production team:
Something I just clocked - this is our third ever onscreen female doctor. Thatās a net positive regardless of what you think about it being Piper
I was thinking āwe got three Doctors in one episode and two of them were blonde women.ā
And one of them had just been really good on the screen, so I was hoping itād be more of themā¦
Edit: Them, in this case, referring to the two blonde women.
Absolutely agreed
