I didn’t. I stayed inside at my fucking job and watched it on TV.

Nah, it’s no different than glancing at the sun for a couple seconds at a time any other time. The real danger of an eclipse is that it’s actually comfortable to look at the sun for a longer period of time.

He did it because people told him not to. The man is not a mystery. He’s just an asshole.

As I recall they changed it back to Doctor Who when it was brought back in 2005 with Eccleston, but David Tennant insisted they change it back back to The Doctor.

That explains why I’m of two minds about it, then.

Neither “Doctor Who” nor “The Doctor” is his actual Gallifreyan name. Doctor Who is the pseudonym he chose for himself some time around/before he stole his Tardis and left the Time Lords.

Somewhere along the way, though, he started going by just “The Doctor” instead. Which seems more like a title and sound much less…

He didn’t tell her his real name, he said he was going to and whispered “I’m actually really tiny and riding a shapeshifting spaceship so it’s fine if you shoot me” instead. He must have told her at some other point, since she whispered it to the Tenth Doctor and thereby proved he could trust her.

Sorry you hated him, but he was the best showrunner we’ve ever had. Haters gonna hate.

WAIT WAIT WAIT.

I cannot express how happy I am that the BBC is letting Big Finish do NuWho stories. I would love a series about the adventures of “Doctor” Jackson Lake and Rosita.
