being an eighth doctor adventures fan is so hard. how do i explain to people that i want them to read an unfinished postmodernist series of 73 pulp science fiction novels from the early 2000s that's made up of a bunch of writers arguing about how to best fundamentally deconstruct dr who as a concept
I love doctor who.
Hello yes we have a silly guy who travels the universe with a (usually young, human) companion and gets into silly space adventures! We have been running for sixty years, figuratively because the show has been running, and literally because boy do we love getting chased down corridors. There are three different eras of the show and a movie! It is literally impossible to watch all of doctor who because a lot of the older episodes were destroyed by the BBC. There is no way to know everything about the show, to archive everything about the show you'd need a hive mind of autistic people with doctor who special interests. Still not enough? There are audio dramas! Three season 1s! Two season 2s! 15-20 versions of the main character (they are all the same guy). Horror! Comedy! Fantasy! Scifi! The worst episode you've ever seen in your life! The most transcendent experience imaginable! The good episodes are good for the same reason that the bad episodes are bad! Don't like a writer? Wait a few years! Don't like the main character? Wait a few years! Doctor who! It's been your dream show at some point in time, and will be again!
i see many people say wilson doesn’t really think house is autistic, that he either just mislead cuddy for some reason or changed his mind suddenly after putting considerable effort into making the case to his boss that his coworker should get to have a bloody carpet reinstalled in the building. when the alternative explanation of “wilson lied to house to spare his feelings” exists, i don’t understand how you could logically end up at the conclusion that he doesn’t think house is autistic
why would wilson not just tell house to get over the carpet thing if he didn’t believe what he was saying to cuddy about his autism? is wilson typically in the habit of asking cuddy to install biohazards in the building for no reason? what, aside from believing what he’s saying about house being on the spectrum, would have been his motivation for this action?
is it more likely that wilson was trying to mislead cuddy, a person he regularly conspires with (perhaps misguidedly) about house’s mental health, that house is autistic to generally excuse him from being held accountable for his actions OR is it more likely that wilson was telling cuddy the truth and using all true things to back up his argument, which she (a doctor) agrees with?
It's so hot how intelligent Hannigram are.... FBI out here chasing their own tails meanwhile Hannibal and Will solved the case in THEIR OWN WAY... I'm taking about Mural guy btw... Hannibal and Will both realised the latest guy got himself free from the stitchings (Hannibal from his intimate knowledge of anatomy and Will using his galaxy brain to reach a unique conclusion), Hannibal figuring out the location with his olfactory senses, Will thinking 'Well what does this killer need? An isolated place nearby water', and they both reached the killer after taking different paths.. that's so incredible to me... it highlights their unique talents and individual thinking processes, like.. they're profoundly different but they reach the same place in the end after taking their own paths.

Character so good one half of the fandom thinks they’re ftm and the other thinks they’re mtf
broke: the doctor having two hearts represents “one being happy, one being sad” (sorry 13. it’s cute but like…)
woke: the doctor having two hearts symbolises the idea that he cares about everything twice as much
bespoke: the doctor has two hearts because, to quote paul cornell writing the shalka doctor, he “doesn’t like the military but has so many friends in it; he says he doesn’t kill but then… exterminates thousands”. always of two minds about any decision, any impossible choice. he’s completely human and completely alien. completely merciful and completely ruthless. contradicts himself constantly. breaks his own rules, sets new ones, repeat. the #1 hypocrite. two hearts like the two guards at the door of that riddle — one always lies, the other always speaks the truth — but not even he remembers which one is which
doctor/river/jack is the funniest poly ship cos they are all married to each other , they are all the third wheel, and if they ever met up at the same time it would likely result in jack and river having a,quite frankly,ungodly amount of sex prob both thinking about the doctor whilst the doctor is in the garden w/ headphones on trying to get caterpillars to unionise or smth
“What can you write about the Doctor that celebrates his maleness? … Nothing. Absolutely nothing. It occurred to me, and I said this to Chris, ‘he’s not a man, is he?’ He’s just not. He’s an alien who looks like a man, who’s about to be an alien who looks like a woman. He’s got nothing about him … I don’t think he’s checked which gender he is. I think if you said, what are you, a man or a woman? He’d be like ‘uh huh’. He doesn’t care.”
