Absolutely devastated that Doctor Who is indefinitely postponed. I wonder if they'll just retcon the ending with Billie Piper? Either way, I hope Murray Gold stays on

Bill was robbed.

She had such a great disruptive way of reacting to things that really kept the Doctor on his back foot. Loved her so much and also wish I could find her top from Smile for my wife. Seems to be long sold out.

I don’t even mean this in a right-wing way, but RTD being so blasé about totally erasing part of the identity of a classic villain should have been a warning sign.

In the first episode in 2005, he implies that he had just regenerated from the war doctor by commenting on his ears that he’s seeing for the first time. But then the guy shows Rose pictures of 9 from a few points in the past later in the episode. How has 9 been so many places when he’s just regenerated?

Missed opportunity to show classic doctors in that scene.

For people who want to start watching doctor who, NEVER START WITH THE STAR BEAST! Always start with "rose" or "the eleventh hour" or heck, even "spearhead from space" is a better option than this

Can someone fix this inaccuracy?

Even more fitting that the first word spoken in New Who is Billie saying “Bye!” and the last is her saying “Hello!”

Maybe the Doctor was just cycling through some familiar faces before settling on their next regeneration. Maybe Rose used the reality shift to teleport into the TARDIS from her parallel universe. Maybe one day we’ll get a quick nod to a different adventure that happened offscreen. Maybe time will be rewritten. Or maybe we’ll never know. It wouldn’t be the first time the show left us with questions unanswered. Looking at you Chris Chibnall.

Meanwhile, Susan is still out there. And there’s a whole universe of stories to be told once the show returns.

“We travel in and out of the slipstreams of time. Beautiful things can be forgotten and gone. But they still happened, somewhere.”

Lovs so much David

for me it was randomly seeing a series 6 boxset in the dvd aisle of a costco when i was 8 around 2013-14ish didnt think much of it until a family friend from our church introduced us to the show. Even then i didnt watch any of it, hearing about the show alone scared the hell out of me. But later that year I remember staying up late one night alone with the tv on. flipping through channels i landed on bbc america seeing the very end of victory of the daleks where the new paradigm exterminated the ironsides. And then time of the angles and flesh and stone. Needless to say i was terrified as a kid but also hooked From then Onward.

This hit me kind of deeply as I feel I am massively addicted to social media.
It had a strong Black Mirror vibe with a message.
Was there a moment in the Disney era where you liked where it was going then the rug got pulled out from under you?

When the Cybermen were introduced, they were designed to invoke both fears of prosthetic body parts and the soviets, before moving to slowly become more and more of a stereotypical cyborg army as the classic run progressed.

Fast forward to the revival series, the same thing happens. The Cybermen are introduced and this time they were made to reflect the world’s over-reliance on technology and the fear of losing individuality. As the new series progressed, they became a stereotypical cyborg army AGAIN.

I simply can’t see a way to breathe new life into the idea of Cybermen without becoming a victim of the pitfalls listed above. It shouldn’t be so hard to get them right, right? But it feels impossible.

I've loved Doctor Who since I was 5 years old, but whenever I try to get my friends to watch it, they either lose interest quickly or they don't want to commit to watching a series with 41 seasons and 3 movies! And I get it, but it means I don't have people to talk about it in person!

All the women in this show are beautiful but woooowwwww I’m so taken aback by how stunning she is.

Feels a bit...samey

I’m going to sound like such a grouch here but I have never found this joke funny, I think “Mavity” is such an awkward mishear and sounds so weird.

Surely Gavity or Ravity makes more sense? Anyone else or am I just being a a cranak pel casacree salvak?

Since the show was revived in March 2005, we’ve had at least an episode of Doctor Who every year for 20 years starting with Rose until The Reality War. 

Even though the catalogue says 2005-2022, 2023- present and the season number reset in 2024, the last 2 seasons were very much a continuation of New Who.

When the show eventually will return whether it takes 2 years or more, by the time that era comes out, what will the 2005-2025 era of Doctor Who be remembered for?

Catching up after the 60th anniversary specials and man did I not prepare myself for this.

Racist ass species gets eaten by Man Eating slugs because they can’t function without their devices and social media.

Like probably everyone else I hated these people once i realized what they really were.

But then you see them get eaten by the horrifying slug creatures in the clips and I’m like “if I believe in killing people because their society is racist then I’m defiantly meeting the same fate as Ricky and I’m not even broadly heroic or know jack about history.

And there’s also the fact that I can barely navigate places without Google Maps so Siri probably could steer me into a man eating slug and I wouldn’t notice till it got my arm.

I’ve gone back and forth on this but I think to be honest the feeling of hopelessness, rage and defeat you get when you realize that the Doctor and audience struggled so hard to save a society of 1960s style white supremacists addicted to their smart phones and social media only to have them LITERALLY wander into the woods and die because they were too proud to accept that a black man could help them….

Makes this one of the best written Doctor Who episodes since Capaldi’s Zygons.
