Leftist with an incorrigible love for fancy aesthetics (mostly Renaissance Italy/Victorian England) that might be incorrectly read as a monarchist because of that.

Unicorn, but also occasionally gryphon.
I’ve watched every series of nuWho and have been slowly working my way through the Classic series now.
… Imma be honest?
Every new Doctor is “the worst Doctor” and every new Companion is “the worst Companion”.
Until they grow on you. Then you like them. Then it changes again and you hate it again.
In reality I feel like DW as a whole has always been all over the place, with amazing stories and deeply uninteresting stories all the time and no real way to predict what would come next.
Case in point I just reached Jo Grant (3rd Doctor’s First Companion)'s departure from the series and been introduced to Sarah Jane Smith.
I know for a fact that Sarah Jane Smith is universally beloved. (because I know the show’s legacy and all that, even if I’m going into the actual classic series blind) She was also the longest lasting companion in the entire series history. But right now, with the change having just happened, I can’t not be a bit “:\” about her. I liked Jo!
Copypasting an intentionally hingeless rant I sent in a group-chat some years back:
I do not care for the ocean… But most of the ocean is just sorta THERE. They’re ugly and freaky but they just do their thing because they are brainless. Someitmes literally. The Man-o-War has giant building-sized tentacles because it LITERALLY does not have a brain, and so compensates by being a living fishing net. You gonna hate on a creature that doesn’t even know it exists? Like sure, do that, but it’s like being angry at a rock.
Dolphins though? Dolphins are different. Dolphins have tasted of the fruit of knowledge, on the same day humans, corvids, rats, and elephants ate the fruit and were cast out of paradise, the Dolphins crawled out of the sea, climbed the tree with their little flippers, and gorged themselves on those forbidden fruits.
Dolphins have complete knowledge of good and evil. AND THEY HAVE CHOSEN EVIL.
Dolphins hunt for sport and leave their kills to rot.
Dolphins use live blowfish as dolphin weed.
Dolphins rape animals, not limited to other dolphins, but interspecies rape too.
AND dolphins get all sorts of special treatment from idiot humans who think that because they are squeaky and can jump through hoops, they must be like doggos from the ocean. In reality they are the spawn of Satan upon this world.
Rock Bottom IS a solid foundation to rebuild yourself, so… In a way, sure.
