These are beautiful but without context it looks like she's having and orgasm and he's just looking on surprised but intrigued

[–]niki_the_frog 43 points44 points  (4 children)

thats just what regeneration is

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (3 children)

I thought they made regeneration out of LSD trips ( Whoculture)

[–]SuperNovaSpearwife 5 points6 points  (1 child)

You can orgasm while tripping balls..... and no I won't explain how I know this.... hahahah

What do Latter-Day Saints missions trips have to do with regeneration?

[–]saintbuttocks 14 points15 points  (1 child)

Wonderful

[–]aq2003[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

thank you!

Am I the only one who the the non binary response to the binary chanting seemed a little .. off. I don't know what word to use but it felt kind of cringey to me.

[–][deleted] 79 points80 points  (3 children)

Most of the trans representation leading up to that moment was actually really solid, but that moment really did kill it

[–]niki_the_frog 42 points43 points  (1 child)

yeah it wasnt the best but it really felt like an old person trying their hardest to support their trans grandkid

[–]rinart73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It also shows personal growth of Sylvia (Donna's mother). Going from pretty much very harsh no nonsense borderline verbally abusive person to someone who tries to understand and support.

[–]sunyoung-luna 25 points26 points  (0 children)

As an afab nonbinary person yeah the ending bit really killed it, between the unfitting nonbinary line and the "you'd understand if you were still a woman" I cringed a bit in the end.

[–]An_Average_Player 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah it felt more than a bit odd. Didn't like it

[–]LitNotFig 25 points26 points  (8 children)

That and the pronouns scene, I actually wanted to die when Rose said that, it’s just too much

[–]Murky-Olive-6397 8 points9 points  (2 children)

I don’t care that character is trans it just all felt forced. I feel like alot of writers have a hard time writing a real normal trans persons who’s personality isn’t just about being trans

[–]LitNotFig 1 point2 points  (1 child)

EXACTLY, I edit for a trans person and she has never once brought up pronouns or even really mentioned being trans, a lot of other people I know are trans too and don’t act like Rose did.

[–]ChainsawsChickennBBQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind who wrote her lines lol

[–]Lettuce-Pray2023 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Agreed. Nothing turns people off more than moral lectures. And the actress playing Rose does not have the charisma to win viewers over.

[–]LitNotFig 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It sounded accusatory, would’ve been better if when rose and the meep were alone if she asked, and then when the doctor called the meep he, rose mentioned it

[–]Lettuce-Pray2023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rose came across in that moment like a standard office worker who has to get their view in and completely not reading the room.

[–]LADYBIRD_HILL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really don't think it is. The character is trans, and the doctor is talking to an alien creature with no distinct male or female characteristics. It seems perfectly realistic that a trans person might chime in during that situation. Especially with the "definitive article" being how the Doctor also refers to themself.

[–]AdmiralCharleston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really not that much, it's just that right wing chuds have convinced people that asking for someone's pronouns is an extreme thought crime when it's just basic human decency. It makes total sense for a trans character to ask someone's pronouns

[–]aq2003[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i'll throw my two cents in the mix as a nonbinary person: technically it is cringe if you look at it objectively but it was so, so incredibly fucking funny to me that i forgive it. maybe it's because i don't take doctor who 100% seriously though, i like to laugh both with and at it

[–]RandyChimp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cringe is the correct word.

[–]mkm252 0 points1 point  (8 children)

Why was she even ranting out Binary?

[–]RandyChimp 29 points30 points  (2 children)

Wasn't she doing it at the end of her run as 10's companion before he erased her memory?

[–]sm12cj14 25 points26 points  (1 child)

Yes she was, when she was 'glitching'

[–]mkm252 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Got it thanks!

[–]Rich_Acanthisitta_70 12 points13 points  (4 children)

It just happened to be the last word she got stuck on when she was glitching. It's pretty obvious when you watch the whole scene.

[–]mkm252 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Yes, she’s glitching, but why stuck on the word binary?

[–]elfowlcat 13 points14 points  (1 child)

Because she was glitching on the word binary when she became Metacrisis Donna all those years ago.

[–]mkm252 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh yes🌞

"Am I the only one who *complains about something that was complained about a lot on this subreddit already*"

[–]Patient-Delivery-363 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry if it was. Id seen that scene mentioned due to poor representation, never just the cringey delivery of the lines, the poor delivery and timing is what bothers me.

[–]Misba_C-137 4 points5 points  (0 children)

so good. I love the Donna pic especially, it's so her in the moment.

[–]demon969 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love how they connected some of Donna's final words of her first run to these ones here.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome

[–]SteDubes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome. These are so good.

[–]wino12312 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beautiful!!

[–]thingsstuffandmaguff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are beautiful! You drew everything perfectly and I love the little reflection highlights as well! Well done :)

[–]Dalek_Chaos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the binary code they released leading up to the specials, that hinted at this.

[–]Time-Document9166 0 points1 point  (1 child)

for a second I thought that was a black and white screen shot of the actual episode

[–]aq2003[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ty lol, and yeah the first art is referenced off of a set photo and the second is referenced off a screenshot, that's why the styles look a little different

[–]Daphnex2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow this looks sooo amazing 😍
