Donna Noble crying after hearing the song of the Ood. Taken from ‘Planet Of The Ood’

Donna reminding Miss Foster about a recent casualty, caused her adipose. Taken from ‘Partners In Crime’

Donna pleading with The Tenth Doctor to save someone. Taken from ‘The Fires Of Pompeii’

My main issue with The Unicorn And The Wasp is that it totally mischaracterised Donna. We’ve seen her be incredibly empathetic and kind towards people yet in this episode where people are being murdered, she’s nonchalant and treating it like fun gossip.

The Second Doctor is genuinely so underrated. He brings such a fantastic energy to the whole role of the Doctor, and let’s be honest, if The Second Doctor was less than phenomenal, the show wouldn’t have survived to today

Hot take, it’s not the more literal nature of the RTD2 gods that’s bad, it’s the way that’s not being used to create more fear, because having wild forces beyond even the doctors knowledge toying with the universe should be a recipe for peak

Still not in it enough…
And at least your fancasting has the blessing of a Doctor

Still not the best Irish fan cast though…

Please do it is SO GOOD I swear. It really is

EWWWW

What’s everyone’s letterboxd top 4?

Here’s mine!

So I’ll start by saying the Capaldi era is overrated

Yeah. It at least breeds disagreements which creates interesting conversations

I see that. It very much carries that energy, and honestly that’s the issue with any Twitter competitor

I think my major issue with Bluesky compared to Twitter is that it’s all too calm and peaceful and sort of millennial-core in a cringe way. Twitter is a cesspit but at least people feel real on there

More detail and slight visuals for ep1 and 3 of s1

A more in depth look at the stories of the first three seasons

I’d say you’ve a relatively good grasp on her Doctor as a character by now but less so on her era at large.
I think these stories would give a good taster/impression of how her era would go. However in simple terms she will basically go again tonnes of egotistical villains.

So you know her Doctor, but do you know what her Doctor would style herself?
Her Doctor would dress in pastels and often wear a long coat + dress combination. She’d have various accessories such as gloves, a beret and tarot card themed pins.

Now you’ll be asking
“What would her doctor be like”
Well lucky for you I have a handy little explainer for that. But the TLDR is that she’s bubbly and fun loving on the surface but inside she struggles with a sense of helplessness towards the suffering across the universe.

Next question you may be asking:
“Why should she be The Doctor”
I’ll explain why:
Firstly she’s a brilliant actress, and the energy she brings to her characters would be perfect for the Doctor.
Secondly we need more women doctors.
Finally she’s Irish. We need an Irish Doctor

Firstly you may be saying:
“Who is Nicola Coughlan?”
I fear this may be obvious but for the uncultured amongst us I’ll give a quick little summary.
Nicola Coughlan is a 37 year old Irish actress who has appeared in Derry Girls, Bridgerton, Barbie and Big Mood.

(Yes I’m well aware she’s in the Christmas Special but when has appearing in a previous story stopped the show from recasting an actor )

What gives it away?

It’s a great mystery who my casting is…….

No way. That’s unhinged

Tbh I think doctor who fans will be awful wherever they can be. It’s not unique to twitter I think
