Thoughts on watching the Dr Who Specials

@doctorwho

Pro: Davies’s writing has a panache and power that IMO was missing since s9 and was wonderful to see again.

Gatwa seems almost too good.

Con: The Tennant coming back and bigeneration thing didn’t really land and failed to shake the bitter aftertaste of the open cynicism of baiting fans back. Is Tennant-14 just gonna be around forever haunting every new doctor?

They just played catch?!

    Tennant was born to be The Doctor. He was steeped in it at such an early age. I am fine with his returning over and over again :P

    Theory: Tennant shall sacrifice himself to save Gatwa at the end of the Christmas ep, just after urging the people around him that he “wants to go”.

    @maegul @doctorwho I’m guessing it’s a failsafe in case there’s a severe negative reaction to Gatwa-15. I really enjoy the excitement that he brings to the role, not terribly dissimilar from Tennant-10…
