Let’s not give RTD ideas here!
Because he is totally reading this forum every night before bed…

Honestly, with the number of people finding this forum when searching for Doctor Who related things, it’s entirely possible he’s seen it.
Though I wouldn’t be terribly surprised if he didn’t reveal himself if he was in the forum. Would you want to introduce yourself as RTD in a thread where people are tearing part your era?

I remember the old days when he told us the Master wasn’t coming back too.

A s3 aside. If RTD knew that no decision would be made about s3 by Disney until after s2 aired why on earth did he seed ideas for a s3 arc? Just let it all be self-contained in s1 - 2.

I suspect he was more confident of a renewal originally, and that something changed on the Disney side.
It’s entirely possible that the current political climate could be affecting what shows Disney wants to support going forward, even…

He may have had reason to.
It’d hardly be the first show with diversity and lgbtqia+ representation that Disney has enthusiastically supported taking on board, then given a swift death…

Possibly, maybe its my bias at play but profit is the bottom line for Disney.

And playing nice with the US government is profitable for them.
And I could draw a fair number of parallels between how Disney is handling Doctor Who and The Owl House…

OK, don’t know The Owl House tbh. There’s definitely hubris on RTDs part, but hopefully we won’t be left in limbo for too long.

Tbh Disney has always sucked at diversity regardless of the political climate.
The BBC should have known better than to get in bed with them. Sometimes when you have to assure your fan base that you’re not making a terrible choice… you’re making a terrible choice!

Well, let’s say 15 and Luz feel like they have a decent bit in common…
(Bi, has a same sex love interest, faces villains that would get along well with Conrad, diverse cast with LGBTQIA+ rep, killed by Disney after season 2, though the Owl House managed to get 3 double length specials as an abbreviated season 3…)

This was what Mr Tardis suggested happened in his video about the future of the show. According to him, a lot of work was being done to start filming in early 2025, but the political climate changed things and made it harder to get season 3 greenlit than it was earlier suggested…
Or we can just go down the easy route and blame RTD for all the world’s problems…
