the way tennant played 14 as different from 10 will be better appreciated in time to come, I think. 10 was always a heartbreaking mix of humanity and hubris. 14, otoh, settles into that humanity, and tempers it with humility. it's why he can stop, and rest, while 10 could never.

oh juno tapped OUT. maybe this is part of the reason she's barely done any press for S3 lol. because the writing for her character especially is so fucking erratic - disrespectful - she's been treated like a love trophy for 2 seasons now. can't imagine that's fun to talk about!

there's something so powerful about giving 14 - an older, more bone-weary version of the doctor who so desperately longed to be human - a home at last, with his best friend. sometimes, after all the fighting & the heartbreak, a happy ending is possible. so grab it, and live it.

this is why, in both the writing & performance of it, I don't think any other companion could have credibly called the doctor home. only catherine tate's donna (who burst into the show, shook it up and reframed how FUNNY it could be) has the ability to rewrite the doctor's story
Catherine Tate's performance in the Giggle is underappreciated. It may not be as meaty as previous scripts but there's something beautifully subtle yet with emotional weight that is the beating heart of this episode in the way she grounds an emotionally vulnerable Doctor to Earth

today I'm thinking about this perfect acting choice by catherine tate in the star beast, as donna sees the TARDIS again for the first time in 15 years. you can't even see donna's face, but you can FEEL so much in the way she greets this blue box like her home, like an old friend

what fascinates me is seeing all the comments that 10 was so "vain" for not wanting to go & I'm like??? no. the defining characteristic of this Doctor is how HUMAN he is & wanted to be. that's his entire narrative arc - he wanted so badly to be the one who gets to live, with Rose
Sorry y’all I’m putting my foot down a little bit on the “this only applies to 10” counter cuz while I grant other versions might view it differently than 10, the 9th Doctor also spoke about regeneration as him dying and someone else taking over, he was just more at peace with it

in every lifetime. romantic or platonic. these souls have loved each other before because you can't deny the vibes, the chemistry or the chaos
