I’m having so many thoughts about Doctor Who and how it seems to be leaning into the fact that it’s a tv show.
The Toymaker, the Maestro, and the Golbin King all having campy, over-the-top villainous musical numbers, paired with the Space Babies realization that a villain was created because it necessary to tell a story. The way the Doctor kept saying “babies” and then correcting himself to say “space babies” because that’s the name of the episode. The new sonic looking more like a television remote than a screwdriver and the Doctor using it to press “mute”. “I thought that was non-diegetic”. Looking directly at the audience and winking. Seemingly using an actor’s name as a clue.
I don’t know what to make of any of it. Doctor Who is so fucking back.

it's hilarious to me that all the crazy things that are happening in Doctor Who now are caused by Fourteen's brilliant idea of using salt and invoking a superstition at the edge of the universe

so i know this is probably all ramping up to the doctor being part of the pantheon/from outside the universe, with their function being to fix, heal, and improve (“doctor”)- but they also said “where i come from, everyone goes by titles”…. not true! gallifreyan renegades & exiles went by titles, with some complicated exceptions (like drax, valeyard) -but i think it’s funny that all of these powerful mysterious new beings are going by work-related titles and the doctor isn’t the least bit suspicious like…. girl i know you can hear the non-diegetic music but can you see the foreshadowing
