    I hope you all enjoy my reaction to Doctor Who and let me know what you thought of this new special!
    Edit: FAQ… “OLD?!” 😂
    I keep seeing these comments so let me be clear when I say that I’m using the phrase “Old Dr Who Fan” in the sense that I use to watch this show but haven’t in quite some time, but also that when I was a regular viewer I watched years worth of Nu-Who (but I have seen some episodes of both Tom Baker and Peter Davison’s eras if that makes you happy).
    Hopefully that clears up some confusion but probably won’t lmao either way thank you all for watching the video!

    Theory: since the lines about wilf and how they keep building his appearance up was written before his death, the celestial toy maker in a “lost episode” with the first Doctor with David Bradley is going to get insight on the fact Donna will be a future companion somehow. He will sell a toy to a young wilf having just had Sylvia and that’s what’s drawing Donna to the doctor. It is all a trap by the toy maker to get vengeance.

      Do we know if he was able to film anything before his passing? Because I really hope we see him again one last time for these specials 🤞🏻
      I did see another comment suggesting we may instead see a “younger Wilf” and it may relate to the overall story of these specials and why David’s face is back perhaps 👀
      Either way I’m so excited for more Whoniverse stories again! :)

    I'm cis female, but I was unhappy with the inability to let go being a "male presenting problem." I think it alienated ftm and male allies. There really is no need to punch down men to uplift women. I also think this applies to any group of people. Why dismiss one group in order to push another forward? People love to do this when promoting film, series, music, bands, religions, politics, etc... Inclusivity does not negate the mainstream, assholes!!! It enriches experiences and broadens perspectives. Wow! What a harm to humankind... (note the sarcasm.) Anyway, stepping down from soapbox and wishing everyone a safe end of the year. Bring on Ncuti as 15!

      I think this is the best comment I’ve seen with genuine criticism about the new special while also speaking volumes of the good that this show (as an example) can teach people about other ways of life that may be different to their own.
      The line you are referring to only got a laugh out of me in the reaction because of Catherine’s comedic delivery but I also felt it was unneeded as both Rose and Donna were already shining in that moment thanks to the story that was told (then they were literally shining) but it didn’t need to put down David’s character at the end there.
      I also love that this episode is going to forever mean so much more to a viewer out there hoping to be seen and heard who isn’t me (even though I did clearly love it myself). Doctor Who is for everyone and all walks of life!
      Thank you so much for posting this Anna, truer words have never been spoken before! :)

      Very well said, and the moment stands out after the episode was so, so progressive before that and even said that the Doctor is more than whatever gender they have at the time (“male and female and nothing and more”). Equality is the elimination of gender stereotyping, not the redistribution of it. The fact a ton of reactors and commentators caught how old fashioned this is is a testament to how far our society and culture has come in the past decade or so. So that’s good.

    I like that Doctor Who is progressive, but what makes me happy is the more subtle using the issues in contrast to the last two series. There, it felt more like a sledge hammer to nail morals in and that the story was just an afterthought. Here, it felt to be again organically woven into the story (apart from the bullshit line about 'no male-representing timelord would get', that was honestly jaringly bad).

    I'm trans fem and I can say that the "male presenting line" was a bit much. Like, they just went on about how the Doctor isn't really defined by gender by saying "the Doctor is male, female, neither and more," so why is the other line needed? Also, it goes against trans-men too, who are already really under represented and overlooked compared to trans-women.

The whole purpose of these specials is for the doctor to understand his identity and why he regenerated into his old face, and exploring identity works perfectly for this special. The plot was all about identity. I'm just so sick of people trying to tear down other people's happiness and excitement of this special. And all I've seen are people truly enjoying this special, only trolls and those that are close-minded are review bombing this special and trying to spread hateful messages. Just because you know people who are LGBTQIA+ doesn't shield you from spreading hate and being mean. You can not like the special for legitimate reasons but literally commenting that doctor who is ruined and the only funny part is when a character was being demeaned is hateful and is not constructive feedback, especially on a video where the creator loved the special.
