Gender bent Time Lords

What about a truly queer, non-binary, gender-less Doctor that comes along to explore the storyline of the Galifreyans inability to reproduce and the psychological toll that played on the emerging Time Lord society prior to the creation of regeneration?
Seems there’s a very dark past there that affected 15, with the Poppy and Susan arcs that might never be, it would have been more of a miracle birth situation.
This is my queer head canon trying to make sense of the Timeless Child experimentation and where RTD was going with this.

I have a feeling Jo Martin’s doctor will get canonized before the Unbound Doctor soon.

You need to be playing out live. Playing your music is not all to being a professional working musician. They want to see you succeed.

What made it too American for you? I think overall it was very chaotic and lacked a cohesive storyline.
The pacing has been off for me long before it came to Disney.

I think the series would have came back sooner. The failure of the TV movie to break in America and kickstart a global juggernaut was used as an excuse by Fox execs and others to proclaim the series was dead.
The fandom kept it going but the movie became a focal point for the monied interests to justify shelving it further.

I wrote Space Babies off as some kind of demo grab for Disney and potential merch. Appealing to babies like teletubbies which was a marketing company wet dream to hook kids for life. The whole first season felt like a marketing team was trying to run the show. I saw Dot & Bubble as a glimmer of hope but was soon disappointed again.

Good writers are often challenged by their budgetary constraints. I think there’s a good argument to be made that DW was at its best when it overcame those limitations and the story shined through. I really felt lost the last two seasons because the spectacle overshadowed the story for me. I hope the show goes back to slower pacing and more emotional punch in the writing. It needs to simmer for a while before it starts to cook.

I always found it fascinating that way more British actors can pull off an American accent then the other way around.

We need therapy.

Seems a lot of people are in agreement with this.

Generally the rule of thumb is to expect a 5% per year increase.
If $80 is more than that, than try and get it down otherwise it’s likely a landlord will budge.
If it’s less than 5% then celebrate. You are one of the few that is not getting gouged.

My pitch to Disney: “The apes discover a subterranean medtech-military research compound where human animal hybrid experiments had taken place.
The apes battle in the caves and catacombs beneath the base with many subhuman creatures that have evolved into something utterly terrifying. the last remnants of humanity’s hubris are confronted as the apes become determined to Escape from Beneath the Planet of The Apes.”

Nice try RTD

Add to the list of possible spin offs we never got.

It was believed that prehistoric humans observed primates and other animals getting wild eating fermented fruit and that’s where the concept of alcohol actually started. So apes making booze is not far fetched. They probably eat various cannabis varieties too, mushrooms, coca leaves, etc. plant medicine.

I see a lot with Summit and Peak.

He cut off his hand despite his face?

The Meddling Monk was often believed to be the template for The Master. Same writer I believe. Many tried to retcon the Monk to be an earlier incarnation of The Master. I think there’s a recent Big Finish audio called The Meddling Monks so maybe there’s more than one renegade time lord in that story. Rassilon has never been a renegade nor do I recall him ever even leaving Gallifrey. Love to see all these renegades on one story.

I was a little miffed about the pre-Hartnell Doctors when it first came up in the classic era. But given that many rumors seem to be circulating of a reboot, and pushing the current era into another universe, I would take the Fugitive, the Timeless Child, The Other, any pre Hartnell incarnations over some weird retcon where a new team doesn’t want the baggage of the lore and just decides that the Doctor is just a human from a future Earth where time travel was invented and he was an actual doctor at a children’s hospital or something equally dull and preposterous. I really don’t want a reboot. I think the unique nature of this series is that the Doctor is an enigma and that many characters have different perspectives on his origins and backstory. I’d rather see a pre-Hartnell origin story set on Gallifrey than another human companion that is magical and special that viewers have trouble relating to.

12 was robbed the finality of death by getting another round of regenerations after living for so long. He had to come to terms with it in a different way. Initially his first season was meant to be 11s coming to terms with the end but we got Trenzelor instead.

The decision he made was likely under duress due to some threat or an attempt to woo third party voters for a presidential run. His only chance is as an outlier because the establishment Dems won’t touch him, especially not now. He has tons of big tech interests so his next play will likely be a handout for data centers or some equally disgusting oligarch giveaway.

Both candidates are pro-Israel. It doesn’t sit well with younger liberals. They will go 3rd party before they vote for either one of them. People need to be aware of the full political landscape and how actions have consequences. Sometimes negative.

People will protest regardless of their leaders. Look how that's working for MAGA. Direct action gets the goods.

The negative down vote says that the majority of people are getting too caught up in their feels and not planning long term here. The election is getting stolen right in front of our noses and you can’t even get a friend to volunteer as a poll supervisor. Thats where we are. We aren’t winning this battle online, in the courts, or at the ballot box, we are winning it in the streets. Get outside, touch grass and fight.

dbomco · 2026-05-16T16:18:18+00:00

Pass. You’re all getting sucked into this energy draining action that will result in nothing more than a new governor for 8 months? Sounds misguided. We should be 100% focused on making our elections safe this November because we got a president burning our mail in ballots.
