The Star Beast - Tumblr Posts
“now you’re just making stuff up,” i say to the show which is celebrating its sixtieth year of making stuff up.
“Why did this face come back?”
It might be a little on the nose, but I kind of think this is what Fourteen is here to do.
Learning about the Doctor Who specials' expanded budget: oh no, what if they overuse CGI to look more 'professional' and high-budget?
The first scene of the Doctor Who Special:
hey guys sorry for the spam just saw the 60th anniversary special and the autism is autisming
russell t davies really just loves putting boundaries between ten-teen and his loved ones huh
love that even with the metacrisis suppressed and everything, Donna (and Rose) were still getting the Doctor's memories in their dreams. like they both referenced stuff that happened weeellllllll after he mind wiped Donna. there was always still that subconscious connection there. and I'm wondering. if it worked in reverse. like we know the Doctor puts off sleeping for as long as possible so do you think they ever passed out for the first time in a month only to be bombarded with images of Nerys causing a fucking SCENE at Donna's baby shower. I'm imagining like, 12 accidentally mind melding with Rose one night and waking up in a cold sweat like 'I have to cut bangs right now or else I'll kill myself' and River just barely managed to talk him out of it. 14 now remembers every single little spat Donna and Shaun have ever gotten in and he has Opinions. oh my God, what if fish fingers and custard was just a crazy pregnancy craving.
absolutely love how the star beast is all new and exciting but still is such a doctor who episode (especially such a david tennant episode)
in keeping with the character, the doctor;
bullshits his way into and out of situations
gets slapped by somebody's mother
is confused about gender
basically says fuck it to gender, i am gender
get's knocked out
gets kidnapped
is silly
looks absolutely pathetic
is on the verge of tears at least 3 times
has an emotional breakdown
stares into the middle distance
get's his ass whipped by donna
is confused by what's happening 80% of the time
is outsmarted by a young girl (who basically saves the day)
get's insulted about his appearance
acts like a 5 year old in the tardis
is an absolute disaster when he tries to chill with donna
HAS SPIKY HAIR
clearly has severe PTSD
