I love that she leaned into that accent (rather than hide it) when recording that cover version of Yellow she did for charity a few months back. Her raw emotion and that accent added a whole new flare to a song I already enjoyed.

miss fire tower 2006 I mean yeah it’s that too but if an actor can’t pronounce something or something like that they often write a bit into the script because of you notice the doctor never said it correctly

[@fionatsang9353]

@@daisy6545 The 'Tim Shaw' line was in the script; might be Chibnall writing a gag just for Jodie's accent, maybe it's the Doctor going 'oh I have this accent again, love planets with a north, let's try getting these new teeth around a Stenza name to see how it goes!' That, and I'd say she was winding 'Tim Shaw' up to see if he would detonate the DNA bombs right then; she must have implanted them back into the gathering coil during the beginning of this scene, perhaps she was giving him a chance to fry the coil and not himself by activating it before he transferred the physical data. When you think about it, she gave him lots of opportunities; if he'd lost his temper when she accused him of cheating or when she threatened to stop him taking Karl and activated the bombs right then, the scene atop the crane would have happened several scenes earlier, and several people wouldn't have died.

Well as a non native English speaker it is a bit difficult to understand her during the show but I like her very much. I only find sad that the writers of Doctor Who haven't given the character the same bad ass attitude the previous ones had. I mean look at season 1! In that episode with the arachnoids there is a man shooting the Queen and she does nothing!!!!!!!! She is always second guessing her self and lacks in pizazz if I'm using the term correctly. Most of the episodes end with the moral of the story explained to you! I mean even a six year old can understand about global worming don't give a speech about it or at least don't give me a PowerPoint presentation in the TARDIS. As I said I really like her But Chinbal is not doing a good job. Keep the Doctor change the prescription in my opinion.

Tony would win a Tech competition, if we are going on the comics. Superior Iron Man, the Endo-sym Armor is based on symbiote aliens (like Venom), without any of the symbiote weaknesses, and it obeys only his mental commands. He can put it on her and lock her in place if he desired to. Not to mention he was able to cure blindness (of Daredevil) with the modern day tech level, as well as make it so that everyone could be their idealized self (though since he was evil at the time, he gave a free trial by way of a smartphone app, then charged outrageous amounts, but we are talking purely tech level here). The Doctor's greatest technological feat is the Sonic, be it Screwdriver, Sunglasses, or currently marital aid.

There was actually a Marvel Doctor Who series!: tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Doctor_Who_(1984) Edited: I had put together a tenuous strand tying The Doctor to Marvel comics by way of their Star Trek crossovers, appearances of Daleks and Sonic Screwdrivers in Transformers (and Transformers vs Star Trek to glue it all back together), but researching a little further it would seem Marvel and DW (Also TFs) simultaneously existed in the 80s Death's Head comics which makes the whole thing much simpler... and disappointingly easy. Ah well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYWQmHiGec-lZ5o I think the only way Iron Man gets a fighting chance is if he's wearing his Asgardian Uru Armor, or if it's the timeline where he also becomes the Sorcerer Supreme.
