Oh absolutely. But I was all ready to stan 13, because I knew she'd have a hard time, and yet I just... don't care enough. Ironically, I feel like Thirteen has generally been well received. But maybe I'm just looking at the right wrong parts of the internet. I feel like every complaint I read about the Chibnall era starts with 'no shade on Jodie, she's great, but . . .' And people seemed to realize pretty instantaneously that a female Doctor just works. Maybe if she'd needed more defending, you'd have been compelled to dig in a bit more?
But Five is <3 <3 <3 and so are his little ducklings. No such luck with Thirteen. :( Maybe in true Classic Who style, Chibbs is saving all the emotional substance for the last episode. (I'm a little amazed that my 'maybe this season/episode/whatever will be the one to crack it all open for me' has survived this long. Thank goodness this really is the last time I can extend that hope, I'm quite tired.)
I need to finish my (big) fic first. Oh, for sure. *pets all the bunnies*
He'd go off-screen for a few minutes, and next thing we know society is collapsing and he'd just shrug and say he paid a little visit... *snort*
"Look up the Luddites! Or just set up a union or organise a strike - I can't believe how utterly incompetent you are. Look, let's get some French people to show you how it's done." *snoooooorrrt*
I might do it as short stories, rather than whole episodes... Yeah, that sounds advisable. Not like you have to relive everything to make the point.
