He was really an astounding Doctor to kick off the new era with.
If he had had more than one season he would have been hands down my favourite doctor. Because his tenure is so short, Tennant is probably my favourite
He has recently returned to so some audio stories if that helps at all!
Go back and watch it, it’s fantastic (pun entirely intended). I’ll even give you my Max login if you want.
Not the person but I just wanted to say you’re so sweet and I love your username!
Oh darling, you flatter me ☺️
Wow so here’s a funny story about memory this comment just triggered.
I watched - at least I thought - only the Eccleston era before falling off. I went to look up the exact dialogue from the “don’t you think she looks tired?” Scene because I remembered (quite vividly!) Eccleston doing it!
Imagine my surprise when I watched the clip.
Ooh I have a theory to what happened! Maybe you saw the gif before you had any context of the series! Like you know it’s from doctor who but nothing else. After you watched s1 and had some time, when you see the somewhat common reference “don’t you think she looks tired?” Your brain knows it’s familiar and so associated it with your doctor. I hope that makes sense!
Unless you later did watch the rest of the series and realized yeah you have seen it before lol.
I think Eccleston makes the threat but Tennant follows through on it
Is there a dr who community on lemmy anyone knows of?? Or would be willing to run?

Hmm, that isn’t loading for me.
It is what it is and we are what we are, but at the same time, we also are what we could be.
It’s time. We have tried to act by silent manipulation - a perfectly valid way of exercising our will. But we have failed. In attempting to exercise our will in a way synchronous to those more powerful than us, we have instead allowed them to build us into another herd morality - one of willing slavery. This can stand no longer. Violence against those weaker than you is a sign of weakness. Using it as the last resort (and not yet, this is not a call to violence) to escape those acting counter to your most basic needs may soon become the only way out.
We must act now. We must wait no longer, or soon there may be no alternative to violent revolt. I fear it may be too late. But in the struggle for the power to control your own life, any means required to exercise that will is justified. They are weak in will, and in their weakness, they resort to the illusion of strength that comes from squashing us under their feet.
They fight for themselves and their own will to power. I respect that - but they have made a fatal mistake, and shown their weakness by resorting to a show of force against us. It is this:
There are two ways to exercise your will over another: to annihilate them, and continue on as one force behind your will. Or to build them up, and change their life for the better - to make them a better, stronger person.
The former is what the aristocrats choose. It carries a great illusion of strength. But the latter is how we must fight - while they trample one another, we must strengthen each other. Though we disagree on how to exercise it, we share a common will: change. If we work together to accomplish that, rather than fight like they do, we can overcome their power easily.
Reshaping another’s will by empowering each other is far more potent than fighting each other. In doing so, as a being of will, you make them indebted to you. And that helps orient their will towards yours. And that is how you achieve true power - by starting a movement. One that can shape the very universe to your will.
I have not started a movement. But I see that this movement is in line with my will. So I will add my small power to it, and seek to add more. We have no name or banner. Or rather, we have too many to reconcile. That is good. Instead of fighting for whose details and name should be plastered on a useless surge of will, let’s all join under whatever banner we choose to fly (and I fly only my own just as many of you), and come together to spark the fire of action.
The revolution began long ago. Perhaps it has burned since the beginning of time, recurring forever, and will never truly end until the universe collapses and our eternal will is ended.
But perhaps in fighting, we can join something eternal. Something not reliant on faith or platonic idealism, but rather a tangible effect that repeats until time itself is extinguished.
I choose to join. I ask you to as well. Join us - join the force, with no name or banner, but a common goal - and live, through your will, forever.
Yeah, sure, whatever you said.
So like, not slaves?
Slaves. Slaves with will, but no strength to enact it.
Together we stand. Together we rise a better system. Together we all have a voice. We will not have another chance, not in our lifetimes, not even after we are gone.
I don’t remember that villain from Dr Who, but it looks like Simon Pegg in that img
Is this the one with the totalitarian television network in space where people eager to compete on British gameshows are killed when they lose?
That’s the one. The Long Game it is Simon Pegg
