The more I've thought about the last two seasons of Doctor Who (this last finale especially), and the era before them also, the more frustrated & annoyed I've become (down to writing & showrunning, not the actors), left wondering why I even loved the show in the first place. #DoctorWho /1

After meaning to for years I finally read Lungbarrow. People always talk about it in terms of #DoctorWho canonicity & whether or not to delve into Doctor's origins, but I think they all miss the main point: going home to spend holidays with the family is horrible and awkward for EVERYONE.
