LMFAOOOO love this
It’s not like they hid it at all in the episode
Well if you're in the UK there'll be a sneek peak during DW Unleashed on BBC 3
The prick kids from her school were calling out to her with a boy's name.
Fairly obvious.
I could go with screamingly obvious.
But let's be forgiving that it's still not something that everyone picks up on right away.
Like me, saying "her" when Rose does mention "non-binary". We don't know Rose's pronouns yet.
It was a bit mean of them and Donna to assume that just because the Doctor is "male-presenting" at the moment, they wouldn't understand a feminine perspective anymore.
Hell, the Doctor may not be limited to two genders to be fluid between.
Oh, you RTDs and your quaint little boxes.
Why they did for me.
The actress is trans as well, she’s on the show Heartstopper (If you don’t know it’s a TV Show big with queer kids around 12-14). I’m pretty sure the rebranding and the new actors (ie Ncuti, Yasmin Finney, Nicola Coughlan etc) is to reach out to a younger audience (ie older kids and teens) and the bringing back of Catherine and Tennant for the older fans. Dr Who since 2005 has always had queer characters and the actress I think prefers trans people to play trans roles as well as for awareness and things <3
I was surprised RTD had Donna critique her own child's acting
Well, Catherine is RSC trained, y'know.
I noticed that as well. I wanted to know when the next episode is on.
Hence the youths calling her “Jason”, her “dead-name” early on.
Ahhhh I can’t believe it’s actually happening, Donna and Ten got me into Dr Who it’s so nice to see them back
Donna is back; Ten is not.
Fourteen and Ten are not the same incarnation despite appearing physically identical and behaving nearly the same.
I honestly don't have any idea how you could possibly not have realized this. The episode spells it out about as clearly as possible outside of somebody flat-out saying "Rose is trans", and even offers an explanation for her trans-ness (which I'm afraid is going to be used as a way to diminish the character).
Next time
"Wild Blue Yonder"
"Wild Blue Yonder"
I know ten is not the same as fourteen… It was just quicker to say having them back rather than clarifying lol
