   Something that just hit me about the 1 year time jump: the Doctor is roughly 900 years old, so a year is about 0.11% of his life. I did the math for me as a dude that just turned 26 and that's about 10-11 days. So to the Doctor he basically just experienced the worst week and a half of his life.

   Dude, I never put it together that The Master fired the shot the day his Doctor regenerated. Like when that Torchwood lady told them to fire at the bad guys in the Christmas special. Like one of the darkest moments in history to the Doctor is when humans killed the fleeing aliens and the Master hates him so much he had to fire the shot.

   During a pretty large chunk of the Third Doctor's run, the show had serious budget issues, so they had the Doctor stranded on Earth (the Time Lords broke the TARDIS as part of a punishment). The Master was introduced as an evil Time Lord so the Doctor could have a recurring nemesis to make up for the lack of traveling through time and to other planets. Throughout the show he kept turning up to be a menace, and regenerated at least twice (I think?).

   In other words, when fans of the original show watched Utopia, they freaked the fuck out when he announced himself as the Master.

   I've thought this for a while, but I feel you guys react to too many things at once. I would be great if ya'll limited the shows you do so that those shows get done sooner. Cause with how many shows you do, combined with the movies and gaming content it takes ages to sometimes get the shows some of us sign up for.

      Hate to say it buddy, but that's by design. Many shows gives them the flexibility they need to record in a 9-5 fashion and still take breaks for family and avoid burnout. In addition, this pacing usually keeps people subbed for a couple months rather than one month. The lads have done an extraordinary job optimizing reacting as a full time job, but unfortunately that means there really isn't much more they can do for pacing on the diamond tier side.

    That's crazy I never noticed Lucy was being abused here until now. I genuinely never noticed the black eye which is wild. I think she was emotionally suckered in and love bombed previously and then this happened. It's wild. What a great reaction!

    Martha is my favorite companion and it was soul crushing having to live through all the hate first go round. So glad the nitpicks you had about Rose are the same I had. I don't hate Rose, I just don't understand how people could elevate her to sainthood within the ranks of the companions and in the same breath just straight drag Martha for even finding Ten attractive.

    Martha was and still is one of the best companions, pouring one out for homegirl, glad she left instead of being forced to not travel anymore. Also Freema was easily one of the best Dr Who actors.

    So glad Martha left on her own accord, the Doctor did not deserve her at all for how the way treated her, trapping her in eras where she was incredibly unsafe AND then depending on her to work being at the top of the list. I don't care what anyone else says, Francine (her mom) was absolutely in the right to be so protective of her against him, especially when you look at it from her perspective.

       On this rewatch I've been approaching it from a more neutral perspective, trying not to have a bias for the Doctor and viewing him as a good person just because he's the main character and the show is more or less from his perspective. And I'm struck by how much he's like a god just playing with his world. He kind of seems to think of humans like pets. He cares for them, and is strongly attached to some of them, but their lives aren't as important as the "higher beings". His pacifist approach with the Master nearly cost the Universe, and even after all the death and torture that the Master committed, he still prioritized him over humanity.

    It is so rewarding that the four drums have been in the intro this whole time.
