The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere

The ceremony of innocence is drowned.

The best lack all conviction, while the worst

Are full of passionate intensity...

And what rough beast, its hour come round at last

Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

GQ MAgazine - interview with Ncuti Gatwa: Ncuti Gatwa Rising
Playing the lead role in Doctor Who, Ncuti Gatwa shoulders the weight of one of pop culture’s most feverish fandoms. But it’s nothing compared to what he’s carried to get here

(I haven't written much about the new season, mostly I am just blown away by how good it is. Thoughts probably to follow once we have seen all of it. But let's just say that the latest episode destroyed me in all the best ways. 😍😍😍 Oh my heart! Oh show! Oh Doctor!)
