What are your Doctor Who hot takes?

Look. You are - of course - allowed to think some plotlines are dumb. Demanding showrunners erase them is pretty silly and egotistical though.

NuWho has pretty much undermined the Looms and the "Doctor is the Other" stuff, but it hasn't gone out of its way to say "no, this never happened, shut up about it". It embraces the diversity of the setting - some Doctors WERE Loomed. Seven DID survive San Francisco to reunite with Ace decades later.

Sam CAN have two timelines.

The Third Doctor COULD have regenerated on Dust.

Nothing in the show has gainsayed any of this, because it doesn't have to.

If you think Hartnell was definitely the First Doctor, then the Timeless Child is a retcon by the TARDIS or some other powerful force to create her own creators. Faction Paradox would approve.

Yeah, but Faction Paradox like their own Cousins far too much. Normal for Norfolk.
 
The thing is everyone is entitled to his or her OWN opinion about what they like and do not like and that is a perfectly acceptable stance to take. it's when people say that other people's opinions are not valid that irks me the most. We're not all a hive mind, some of us like things that are different or odd compared to others.
 
Liking things is undeniably subjective. Opinions... well, some people make statements they call opinions that aren't, because they're factual claims that can be objectively proved or disproved. There's a world of difference between "I like beer" and "nobody likes beer." The first is a personal, subjective statement. The second is making a factual claim that can be proved wrong by finding a person who likes beer. (Raises hand.) You don't get to be factually wrong and say, hey, that's my opinion, you can't criticize it.

Fair point but we shouldn't be able to pull down people that maybe like things we don't or see things in a show that they like that the rest of us don't
 
Not mine specifically, but this meme I just found is very entertaining and I can't disagree with some of the choices. :)

Seven is more ‘waits patiently while the timelines rearrange, because he gave th chef a choice and the chef chose — possibly unknowingly — to erase himself from existence and as a result a new an hopefully better chef is now there, always had been. And if they’re not better, he will sigh and poke the moussaka and chips around on his plate until the whole thing happens again, and besides which he already paid the bill tomorrow, and left a good tip’

It didn't dawn on me until now; 13's outfit was more inspired by an episode of "Rhoda" from the 1970s as she wore a similar top. Just not the jacket or pants.

About 10 seconds in, there's yon influence. Deffo is a 70s thing for sure.

Wouldn't mind Three and Fugitive in a multi-Doctor story... can't imagine too many of the others.

Six and Twelve would definitely be more... vocal... than One...

Seven had Ace planting the Nitro while playing space 4D time championing chess...


And now I'm going for a morning shower, that slang I attempted to use makes me feel all dirty and icky...

I always assumed Mork and Mindy.

True... :) Loved that show, or at least the first two years. The more I think about it now, a lot of the 1970s had rainbow adornments - even wallpaper. Probably to compensate for all the Earth tones/beige that were popular. (Even more amazed that TNG did the beige route as well and yet it doesn't feel dated like the 1970s decade was with its use of it.)

It’s very much a thing that kind of was there until say 81/2 maybe a tiny bit later before it fizzed out into the neons and pastels of 87 onwards. Consider the old Apple logo, and the ZX Spectrum etc. (I remember headbands and stuff)

And, of course, the chef's kiss piece of the resistance and every other cutesy maxim:
