Instead Of Literally Anything Else - Tumblr Posts

Does the whole 'bigeneration' thing as an introduction for Ncuti Gatwa make anyone else feel icky? Because I definitely feel like they did Gatwa dirty with a botched transition between regenerations because people are getting a liiiiiiittle too nostalgic with the whole RTD/Tennant thing.
Tennant is a brilliant actor, and I'm not trying to downplay everything he's done for the show, but by leaving Tennant alive, they robbed Gatwa of an introduction that shows respect to his iteration of his character, instead leaving him to be the Random New Person while The Real Doctor is yet to come into the completion of his arc.
It's just a disappointing diversion from giving Gatwa's Doctor the focus and development he deserves.

and yes I KNOW that there's probably going to be a proper regeneration next episode if I got all the lore stuff right
and then Gatwa's going to go back to bigenerate from Tennant and All Will Be Well
but it's still weird??? that he wasn't just given the chance to Become on his own
but instead had to spend the last however many minutes of his own introductory episode comforting a white guy
instead of literally anything else
doctor who
the giggle
doctor who the giggle
Doctor Who Ncuti Gatwa
the fourteenth doctor
whichever one that refers to by this point
