A PERFECT Episode "The Giggle" REACTION | Doctor Who 60th Anniversary (Commentary) 

Honestly people like that, who just rant about inclusion, don't even consider them part of the fandom

It must be so miserable to be some of them. They've made being triggered their entire source of income. Now every video they make is a giant "reeeeee" session. They're trapped in a life where the have to comb through every episode of a show they supposedly like to find things to be triggered by. Then they have to post these videos online, like the ultimate "Karen," all the while trying to maintain a personae of being an unbothered alpha male.

The fact people complain about her standing was expected because these specials were shot ages ago. They knew the bigots would jump on that sort of thing. Not everyone in a wheelchair is unable to move their legs, some can even stand or move without one but it hurts.

❤️😊🙏

Stop it! I love that idea

It's also just one line, but 15 has a line that he's okay because 14 fixed himself, which suggests that while 14 is currently separate...they're still connected, they're still the same person, just "doing rehab out of order." It suggests that at some point they come back together, and that's good -- because it means Ncuti is still THE Doctor, with no asterisk. 14 is around the way that 11 or 5 or 13 could show up randomly because time, but 15 is carrying it forward. Also, 15's sonic is amazeballs.

Thanks for being here! ❤️

Having had my own thoughts and seen others that are similar or not, they kind of add up to make something like logical sense... 14 goes on to take it easy and resolve stuff (possibly also becoming The Curator along the way -- he did mention revisiting old faces, so it wasn't his first but maybe this was), then when it's time to regenerate, he gets yoinked back through time and into the bigeneration scene and he's The Doctor again. ("Rehab out of order," so to speak, just like 15 says?) And I think that makes the duplicated TARDIS make sense, too, more or less; if the Doctor ended up inside his old self, why not also the TARDIS? Resolves a lot of stuff off-screen and puts The Doctor right back into his timeline at the point where he takes a break. And allows for the "reboot" type of scenario RTD spoke of. A fresh start.

That is exactly what I had in mind 😂

aside from the deliberately ambiguous dialogue in the episode, where has russell actually confirmed this? because i feel like fans are grasping at straws here

@@stevenrobertgill7306 One of the confidentials or behind the scenes, he says the TARDIS is the same one from the future and it will be explained and explored in Ncuti's series to prove it.

Holy shit 👀

That's what I was thinking. "I'm okay because you fix yourself" implies that 10 will eventually become 15.

That seems likely given they've introduced so many UNIT characters. I'll be happy to see it, but it feels too similar to Torchwood to me.

Yeah, it probably does. I wouldn't count myself as an influencer so much but I also generally run away from that word 😂 I guess it comes down to this idea that we're such a polarising species in a lot of ways. I think it's natural to gravitate towards those that share your opinions because you're all of like mind and get on more which makes life easier. I suppose back in the day this would contribute to how communities were formed and who forms them (communities in the sense of literal people gathering as opposed to internet communities). Nowadays communities are more established and you kind of have to coexist unless you geographically move, and even then you're rolling the dice as to whether you find housemates/neighbours/community that are people you get on with. Internet communities make that easier, and I suppose can offset not having a community geographically which is what makes them so appealing. Internet communities are super accessible. So with all that in mind I think it's healthy, but it does go to show how our sense of community in towns and cities is suffering - maybe even BECAUSE people can more accurately and easily find community online. Does this mean we can close ourselves off to those that don't share our worldview? I'd say so. I don't think this is inherently a bad thing but it should be something we're all mindful of so we avoid closing ourselves off to ever improving ourselves. This isn't to say of course we should open ourselves to bigots or phobes, I think they're in a category of themselves and that's another conversation entirely. Anyway, rambling. But you're right. We gather to those that share our opinion and I think that's fine. I suppose for myself I'd just want to promote a bubble that made people feel good and only excluded those that showed they couldn't do anything but harm those in said bubble. I'm open to opposing opinions, I think sometimes those are important to hear but I've learned to draw the line too, for my own peace of mind/mental health, and also as my channel has grown on behalf of those that I know people often attack, which is something I just won't tolerate. In that sense I think online communities (those that follow an influencer/creator) are almost communities under a mayor, a facsimile of what we have in reality; the creator being that mayor as they have ultimate power as to what can be said and tolerated in said community. It's an interesting conversation, sorry for the paragraphs 😅

Or it's another villain from the Ncuti series.

'Sorry, it's acting'. What do you think it is when a disabled person plays a disabled role? What I'm talking about doesn't eradicate acting 😂 stop thinking about it so simply. Actors will still obviously be able to portray who they're not, that's what acting is. But unfortunately we've created a world in which we CAN'T have anyone play anyone because of the misrepresentations that no one in the industry cares to account for. If we were better at this stuff what I'm talking about wouldn't matter, but we're not. What you're saying here is so oversimplified that you've missed the point of the conversation and, honestly, shows that you don't understand what is being talked about. EDIT - representation matters because if gay actors or trans actors or disabled actors aren't hired to play the roles that represent them, that simply means they don't get hired. This means only cis, straight, able-bodied folk play those respective roles which means they play ALL roles to the exclusion of gay, trans, and disabled actors, and this is a problem. This is discrimination in the industry and it's rife. You can ignore that if you want, but it doesn't give your opinion much weight.
