So what do we Make of that, is Yasmin Finney our new companion or an alternative doctor?

Anyway we’re getting a trans actress in a big role and this is exciting!!!!!!

That’s a rose, isn’t it?

Maybe she’s somehow Rose, in a new form, or she’ll play the Doctor’s new love interest?

Yasmin is definitely implying she will be a love interest for the 14th Doctor.

This show is going to be fantastic and emotional, and everything that 13′s time in the TARDIS should have been - let’s not forget: The Admiral is on the Bridge; Russel T. Davies, who created Queer as Folk UK and had a hand in the brilliant American adaptation, over 20 years ago.

I’m always dying for new episodes of Doctor Who, but right now, I’m particularly dying for new episodes of Doctor Who

“They’re back! And it looks impossible - first, we announce a new Doctor, and then an old Doctor, along with the wonderful Donna, what on earth is happening?  Maybe this is a missing story. Or a parallel world. Or a dream, or a trick, or a flashback. The only thing I can confirm is that it’s going to be spectacular, as two of our greatest stars reunite for the battle of a lifetime.”

Gay Homestays’ Top Ten Gay TV Shows

There’ve been loads of great gay TV shows on over the years, and since we’ve done our Top Ten Gay Anthems andTop Ten Gay Anthems of the 21st Century, we thought it was about time we gave gay TV shows the Gay Homestays Top Ten treatment.

This is a repost of the one I did a few weeks ago but I’ve added Chibbers cause he deserves equal attention. I’m tempted to make this a series. Also yes I am slightly biased against Chibbers but I’ll try to be as fair as possible.


So for this analysis I’m going to compare when Chibbers, Moffat, and RTD save the day well and when they save it poorly. There are a few bits of criteria I need to explain.

First I will only be including main series, no Torchwood, no spin-offs, and no mini episodes.

Second, I have to define what makes a good and a bad ending (my examples will come from episodes written by neither of them):

Bad endings include when the sonic saves the day (see The Power Of Three) (there are exceptions, see below), when a character spouts some useless technobabble that doesn’t make any scientific sense/when it doesn’t make logical sense in general, when the Doctor invents/presents a machine/equipment that miraculously stops the baddy and is never referred to again (see Journey To The Centre Of The TARDIS), and any other ending I deem to be bad (see The Vampires of Venice).

Because I’ve added Chibbers to the selection, I’m increasing the criteria for a bad ending, these include times when the Doctor goes completely against their established morals, this will mainly occur when they aren’t the head writer as when head writer they’re allowed to give the Doctor whatever damn morals they like.

Good endings include when the sonic activates a device that has been well established to save the day, when technobabble is used that actually makes some scientific sense, and just generally when the baddy is destroyed in what I deem to be a creative manner that makes sense with all the things that had been set up in that episode (see The Unquiet Dead).

There will also be cases where there isn’t really a day to be saved, however this happens more often with Moffat.

Let us begin (obviously there will be spoilers but the last episode in the list aired 3 months ago so what you doing with your life).

RTD:

Rose: Bad

What even is anti-plastic?! Like seriously, he’s faced the Autons loads of times and has never thought to use it any other time.

The End Of The World: Bad

The Doctor just goes up to the appearance of the repeated meme (ha meme) and rips its arm off. He then just summons Cassandra back by twisting a knob which apparently everyone can do if “you’re very clever like me”.
