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?!

    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”.

    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

    @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…
