The finale was actually ok. Really goofy but that's what I'm into. The quality of the last few episodes have been a lot better than the past few seasons, shame it's just as Jodie Whittaker is leaving.
13th doctor is forever soiled though because she defended space Jeff Bezos. Also that terrible and inexplicable episode about Rosa Parks that was filmed in South Africa.
Also the whole Doctor and Yaz queerbaiting bullshit. Let them kiss you cowards!
I mentioned Yaz to someone I know the other day and they said the Doctor doesn't "do romance." Yeah except 3 of the past 5 Doctors have been married to River Song and they kissed on screen all the time. Complete cowards at the BBC
honestly, I have mixed vibes about the whole thing.
in a way I feel like it would be more transgressive for the character if Jodi was shipped with a man, as The Doctor has really only shown interest in woman before.
at the same time there is something kind of biologically essentialist about that maybe, and there is an argument that The Doctor being into woman as a man versus as a lesbian would be "new".
although I don't think they would ever dive too deep into any of this.

Jodie Whitaker did or was it some cringe bullshit the writers put into the show?
Horrible episode where the doctor mediates a labor uprising at a space Amazon distribution center and ends up siding with the corporation. Extremely bizarre and out of character.
Jodie Whittaker herself deserved better and she did the best with the material given to her.
Doctor Who is at it's best when it is off the walls campy nonsense like this.
I’ve only seen the Matt Smith seasons. Did they commit to Jodie Whittaker as the doctor being a really obvious trans allegory or naw?
I stopped watching partway through Capaldi's run but I can't imagine they were any more introspective over it than when they introduced Missy.
13 being a woman is almost never mentioned and when it is, it's written more from like a girlboss angle.
It's the BBC. They're not gonna positively portray anything trans.
I feel like I'm going to regret asking what the context is that had Cybermen, Daleks, and the Master all in a room together and not immediately murdering each other, so instead I'll just say this feels like a worse version of that "I Can't Decide" bit that John Simms did back with Tennant.
ngl I don't think I've ever laughed at "goofy dance scene"
also didn't Kingsmen do this?
The ending to the episode was even funnier
spoiler
The Doctor regenerated back into David fucking Tennant LMAO
