Oh wow. A whole hour and a half of creamy diarrhoea. If you honestly call THIS poo ‘content’, then you need to get your head checked. My channel has more nuanced Doctor Who reviews and my videos are thicker and dencher. Your channel is a graveyard and I’m the bullet that put you there. 💀💀☠️💀
I like how ya take the piss out of your own channel, but you're right, an hour an a half is way to fuckin long for something I already know is shit. I watched 2 eps and I was done with this season of Dr Who
That the problem, series 11 is poorly written. The actors involved are proven good actors so it's unfortunate to see the potential for new and interesting stories being totally squandered
@@themadhammer3305 how do you like peices of cinematic work where the actors write about their charicter living and enjoying, and disliking things and even episodes with them as their character helping drive the story
@@VincentGonzalezVeg well to use a previous doctor who character as an example. the actor who played Wilfred Mott had input on how the character was written, the scene where he talks about being in Palestine in 1948 was a real experience of the actor who played Wilfred. In my opinion scenes like that help make a character feel like a real person, obviously not every scene can be improvised but actor input on their character and being given a bit of Lee way to improvise usually does work quite well
Here's something an actual critic might do: Explain why the earlier seasons worked and this one didn't. Instead of assuming everyone's a sexist because of a stunt to boost ratings (that failed).
Wit, charm, and modest brilliance would be great. Oh; I guess I'm thinking above my station -- do you think Dame Helen Mirren has the makings of this Doctor?
That would legitimately be a great "first woman Doctor". Sweet old grandmas can go undetected and underestimated. So many ways to make good episodes around that.
Alas, the whole idea of Chibnal's mess has plainly been to appeal to young people -- a fresh new audience to gorw up with new Doctors and stick with them forever. An older man is fine; an older woman -- ? Hell, no! Stupid, stereotype-bound, commercially limited decisions got us here. I don't think I'm going to live long enough to see the show grow back to itself -- assuming it lasts at all.
Can we all stop and acknowledge that Chibnall has accomplished one thing that's pretty impressive. Got Davies fans and Moffat fans to agree on something. True, it's the fact that he sucks worse than either, but still!
It really annoyed me how hard people were on Moffat towards the end, sure his overarching storylines were hit and miss, but even in the weaker seasons in that respect (6,7 and 9) there were some great individual episodes.
@@andybyrd4107 Moffat's troubles started with 12 - or more accurately 12 and Clara. Clara shined with 11, because they were both equally as...manic. But 12 was far calmer and poised (guitar solos on tanks not withstanding) so the two characters just grated against each other. I liked Bill, but before too long, Moffat started trying to cram 2 episodes worth of plot into a one episode slot. But overall, I agree - it was mostly Davies fans that were trashing him for the most part. Probably because he trolled them a bit with how he handled Amy and 11 (in contrast to 10 and Rose freaking Tyler)
@@digitalutopia1 I preferred Clara with Capaldi because in her first series she was just copying Matt Smith and the show already had a character like that. I think the conversation in the cafe where they both lie to each other about being happy and everything working out should have been the last we saw of her though. That would have been poignant and meant something.
@@andybyrd4107 It's funny you say 6, 7 and 9 where the weaker season, becuase I think the exact opposite. 5, 8 and 10 were the weakest, and 6, 7 and 9 were decent overall.
I just realized the racial discrimination scene perfectly demonstrates what’s wrong with Whitaker’s doctor. Can you imagine ANY of the other doctors reacting so passively to Ryan getting assaulted the reaction should be like when the tenth doctor loses it at the dad yelling at him in that one with the alien tvs.
contrast fem who to capaldis who who punched out a guy just for making a comment towards Bill for being black. whittekers weak woman dr just stood there while far worse occurred. women are warriors against oppression, right? it seems the limp wristed bbc only want to point at racism, instead of actually portraying someone actually confronting it.
You know what’s really messed up? 13 uses similarly racist language to Ryan when she first meets him. She calls him “boy”, which is used racially against Black men in America. The racist guy in Rosa calls him “boy” as well. As soon as I heard her say that, I cringed. She could have said any other word. Lad. Fella. Gent. Anything else. But she says boy. I love when woke people trip up and expose themselves.
That's unfair, it sucks on each and every level so completely, to single any one element out for total suckage is invidious and does a gross disservice to all the other elements which suck asshole to infinity in their own right.
TimStamper Honestly that scene where Van Gogh is crying in the gallery and then when Amy comes back and realises that even with their help he still killed himself broke me as it shows how depression can't be solved with one act and the like.
yeah it's actually kind of insane how I went from being in love with this show to straight up not bothering with the new season. stopped episode 2 half way and haven't bothered to continue.
The thing that annoys me the most is that they dropped the whole lonely god complex that Davies really worked on. Tennants acting as a man who keeps running because if he stops he will relize how lonely he is is heartbreaking I know this hasn’t got much to do about the comment but I just wanted to talk about how much I love the older episodes
@@thechazzler8934 The 10th Doctor and his adventures are straight up magical. I almost feel like that attitude and vibe Tennant brought to the role gave me a whole new lease on life, a new perspective, a new morality.
@@Xerophlume Fetus, Yes, that's authentic Doctor, to me, -- loneliness, and loss. Capaldi's version of this gave me a place to put my own feelings during the years that my husband was descending into Alzheimer's and death. I swear, if Capaldi's Doctor hadn't played it all out there in front of me, I think I'd have exploded with that kind of pain, the way people can. They say every fan eventually gets the Doctor they deserve; I'd loved Tom Baker and enjoyed Pertwee, but I think Capaldi helped me save my sanity.
Just like Rian Johnson was for Star Wars. Say what you want about JJ and Force Awakens, you can tell that he genuinely love Star Wars, all its flaws and beauty. For Johnson it felt like he likes it as well maybe even love it but wants to change it completely for the sake of being different and make it "better" while ultimately leading nowhere. I feel Chibnall is the same way. Both these people either just want to be different for the sake of being different or they just don't get the franchise they have.
@@nostalgiatrip1 In some ways, there's still even a bit of the 'good' in there as well, as arguably Rogue One's the best of the new lot, with some good stuff of it's own that doesn't feel like rehashes or 'subvert expectations'.
@@gratuitouslurking8610 2/3 of the original trilogy stories were about blowing up the death star, anyone who complains about rehashing story in startwars has as much idea of what makes starwars good as Rian Johnson does. It's a space opera, just like in soap operas the overall story doesn't matter it's only there so we can see characters interact, every single Iconic moment from starwars is about characters and JJ understood that's why at the end of the force awakens all you have is questions about characters, Who's snoke? who are rays parents? where is luke? ect, while when you have an generic action story like in the last jedi the only real question is "Why are they making another movie after this?" because the rebels have lost, there is no way to recover without some stupid bullshit like finding a lost rebel fleet somewhere and there are no questions about the characters. Rogue one was a good action movie, but it's not a space opera like episodes 1 to 7, Though i would be happy for them just to abandon the main series and just make decent spin offs like this and not trying to bait people in like they did Solo: The story no one asked for.
@jason lewis Well yea, it's a trilogy, he was writing it as one, the only mainline stand alone Star wars movie is Star Wars (A New Hope) because it was never intended series. Basically everything you mentioned doesn't matter, not trying to be rude but, watch the first 3 movies and they tell you fuck all about the political state of the galaxy or how they manage to build 2 death stars so quickly. Sure the prequels gave us a shit ton of lore but, people hated them...well until TFA and TLJ came out, now I only see people talking about how good they are, disney basically sat down JJ and told him to stay the fuck away from anything that even remotely looked like the prequels, so that's why there isn't even a hint of lore in the movies. JJ did fine setting everything up, it was rian that fucked it, was TFA a master piece, no but nether was A new hope which is weakest of the original trilogy and I'm not even going to mention how god awful the phantom menace was compared to clone wars and return of the sith.
That comparison of Van Gogh and Rosa Parks episodes was spot on. Van Gogh still makes me cry everytime Bill Nighy praises him. I couldn't care less about Rosa when 13th spoke.
I loved the part where 13 kept saying "nO gUnS" but then lured a bunch of spiders into a room to starve to death and let another one painfully suffocate. Real solid moral compass.
Also: detonated DNA bombs in Tim Shaw, and then the person being targeted by Tim Shaw for murderizing pushes him off a crane, so she says "you had no right"
And then killed a TEENAGER who wanted better rights and yes he was doing something bad but she never punishes the ai who killed an innocent girl instead of getting more help
Season 10, The Doctor's companion is insulted by a racist this angers the Doctor enough for him to knock the guy out. Season 11, the Doctor's companion gets a slap in the face and the Doctor doesn't even give one of her telling off. This is an example of one of the things I really hate about the Chiball era, there's no way the Doctor would be so chilled out about someone under their care being assaulted, this was a great opportunity for the new Doctor to go dark and be a badass but nope she apparently has less teeth than Nardole..
Whittaker's Doc, however he's written, has no passion. She's just like one of those boring characters in "Broadchurch", which literally put me to sleep, the people were so dull.
@@ichabod1370 It seems that with her they were like "Well she's the first female doctor, what else does she need?" As a woman I was all for a female doctor but like she needs a personality too you know? Nobody has any personality here. The doctor, the companions, they're all so boring. What a disappointment.
@Matrix29bear so youre getting so much sex and have so many women coming your way that you feel Jodie Whittaker is unattractive? Or maybe just maybe you mocking her is your way at getting back at her for....... a) ruining the show with diversity= adding cast member that you can't relate too. b) having the cheek to bring all her womanly essence to this most manly of shows( even thought most of the recurring cast since the reboot have been female.) c) the bad writing...... this is Doctor Who we still talking about right? d) or maybe some of you hate the fact that she a woman because you can't relate to her and but you can relate to an near immortal alien with two hearts and who shows more compassion than most of you are showing in this comment section. e) your a virgin and an incel who knows deep down you don't have a chance with most women because of who you are inside and out and calling them ugly is your way getting back someone who doesn't even know your alive.
I agree with everything you've said about Chibnall, but I disagree - it does matter. The BBC should find a better show runner. One who understands the elements you pointed out.
Basically Dr. Who became the one thing that will kill any show: agressively bland. Bland writing, bland acting, bland music, bland cinematography. I'd rather watch a baseball player swing for the fences and sometimes miss than bunt every at-bat. It's just not thrilling to watch.
@@demitraferles7970 Not really. Firstly, I'm not sure how Doctor Who wasn't politically correct before. Like, you had that Silurian woman and the other woman having an on-screen snog in series 8, and Bill being black and lesbian, and some of the pro-worker (I can't think of a better word) lines that the Doctor had in series 10, like the bit in Thin Ice when he shuts down that posh racist guy. Secondly, I think it's just that the writing was not good. None of the characters felt like real people, or different people for that matter, motivations for doing anything important rarely made sense, the villains were uninteresting, let alone unthreatening and the dialogue was just truly _awful._ Even if the Doctor had been a guy as normal, she would have still been grossly unDoctorlike. She had giant spiders starve to death, murdered that Amazon worker guy in cold blood, got the Master sent to a concentration camp, and was utterly pathetic in hiding behind her so-called "social awkwardness" as an excuse not to comfort Graham about his cancer worries. The acting was similarly dull, although I suppose we can blame that on the absence of real characters to act out, and the music wouldn't even fit a department store lift. I can tell you, as someone who watched series 11 and 12, that it doesn't have anything to do with politics, especially not when the only things it really gets right are "racism is bad" and "climate change is bad". The show just happened to be shite.
Honestly Murray Gold was a genius and I think it is in fact the biggest loss of the entire show’s history. Apart from the doctors dick. I imagine the next male doctor will feel pretty good when he has that back
Racism was adressed in "Family of blood", where noone believes that Martha could be a doctor, because she's a black woman. It gives her a good moment to stand her ground and is generally pretty well written.
@@Nevir202 this is exactly why i went from criticizing garbage isekai novels with over-sexualized heroines to writing a series of garbage isekai fantasy novel with over-sexualized heroine.
Joanna Lumley was the Doctor for 90 seconds in a Comic Relief sketch. In that time she gave more personality and character to the Doctor than I saw in the entire last season. I can't tell you what Wittakers Doctor is, what quirks she has, etc. except her being female. I can't tell you about the personality of her companions other than "Old guy" "Clumsy guy" and "girl." I couldn't give you a summary of a single episode from the entire season. It was just bland.
Thanks for the heads up. I only watched young Smith as the Dr, because of young Pond's incredible acting. I somehow doubted a female Dr would do well, because Chibnal is incapable of writing a strong female role. I've heard her performances were tepid. Personally, I expect an alien of the Dr's calibre to both amuse and terrify me, which is why my respective placings would be Tennant, Eccleston, then Hartnell. The Dr is fond of our species, but brooks little nonsense from us.
Guy who looks like he should be the Doctor, woman who looks like she should be a smart and capable companion without being a Mary Sue for a change, obligatory token black guy, random East Indian chick because BBC.
@@stone-ageraccoon1157 Exactly. They have no personality other than their gender or skin colour. As a minority myself i am much more than simply those things, martha was a good example of this. She wasnt just a token black girl, she was a well developed memorable character.
It's like those low budget crappy music videos where the first scene is the same as the last scene to try and add some sense of continuity even though there isn't any. At all.
Johnny snowden stuck in the outreaches of space on a hostile alien planet and your only means of escape had no chance of reappearing. Yes, the Doctor would definitely go, "it's fine, it doesn't matter, this planet will kill us and you're thousands of light years from home, but it doesn't matter, we'll be fine." Remember when the Eleventh Doctor said: "Yes, if we lie to her, she'll get all better."
@@samuelbarber4154 it’s more the fact that the companions do not give a shit. They unwillingly got teleported into deep space, suffering oxygen deprivation, got shot at by robots, and still don’t really care or are angry towards the doctor in ANY way. They literally just accept it. There’s no character conflicts. Imagine Rose, Martha or Donna having this happen on their first “accidental” outing. The Doctor would get a right slap. Maybe it’s bc she’s a woman it would seem too old fashioned to get angry at her. Unpopular opinion I know
"i reformatted your phone" she says, matter of factly. "all my stuff's on there!" he says, obviously dismayed. "not anymore!" she replies pitilessly and obnoxiously; like she LOVES the fact he's upset. because yes, THAT'S endearing. everyone loves a bully.
I know I'm late, but I completely agree. Screwing with someone's stuff, taking joy in their dismay and showing no remorse is sociopathic behavior, not friend teasing.
@@aubreykosch4227 To be completely fair, Peter Capaldi took Matt Smith's social awkwardness and increased it to sociopathic levels without having Smith's eccentric charm to balance it out. The Doctor being sociopathic didn't start with Whittaker. At times, Capaldi felt like the Valeyard, which I would be more forgiving of if the Valeyard had actually been ACKNOWLEDGED while the Doctor was in his sociopathic phase. Instead Moffat waited until his last episode, long after Capaldi had grown out of that phase, to mention that the Valeyard existed and even then it was just a throwaway line.
The show has lost its whimsical fun creepiness. Love Jodi, but am beyond sad the writing is so horrid for her. The writers ruined this all time favorite show. Come back Neil Gaiman!
Its legitimately so frustrating too because we have seen those moments when jodi really shines through and i want so badly what she could do with someone decent to support her obvious skill as an actress
Brilliant episode, nitpix didn't mention it and i could have imagined it but i remember taking away an implication that the doctor taking him to the future was the final straw which caused Van Gogh's suicide which added to the (already heavy) emotional impact of that ending
@@Cheesusful I thought something like that too, but it seemed that it was left as a bit question unanswered - which, imho, is the best way. You are left wondering if it was because or despite of the Doctor.
when I watched the first episode of new who with my dad in 2005 the first thing he said was ‘I used to hide behind the couch when watching this’ I always thought hiding behind a couch was strange too
I kind of assumed that couches in the UK where for some reason, not up against the wall like every couch I ever saw in real life here in the states. :)
Basically, Chibbs writes plot-driven stories instead of character-driven ones. And not only do character-driven stories work better generally, it’s especially the case for Doctor Who because The Doctor, the companions, the monster and how they all interact based on the choices and themes in the episode is kind of the whole point of the show. RTD and Moffat understood that in a way I fear Chibbs never will.
No, he just wrote shite. Plot driven is good. Aristotle agrees with me. Chibnall just spews utter drek and I have no idea how he managed to do a Broadchurch.
@P A TV's still had to be plugged in and cords were shorter. Also have you ever lifted a proper square TV and not a flat screen? Those things can be as heavy as a couch.
Hide? Don't hide just switch it off. It's pure Dr Poo. And yes being a Woman is a part of the problem. The other parts being the crap stories and blatant PC BS. Turn it off and it will go away, as it should.
Also since people tended to do parties and social things at home. the couch was away from the wall, allowing sideboards and table. and a place for people to gather all around. Europeans did this traditionally. the US too but not as much.
The only heating in the room was a fire, so the settee had to be reasonably close to it if you weren't going to get hypothermia. And, yes, I hid behind ours.
My father had only watched the older Doctor Who once or twice growing up as it wasn't his type of show. I urged him to watch the Van Goph episode and he teared up at the final scene. The idea that Vincet was suffering from depression yet was able to see the impact he had in the world of art is beautiful and something to speak of even though he inevitably lost his fight. The message is strong but clear and to this day remains my favorite episode.
Chibnall: Don't challenge me, fans, because I'm a completely new showrunner. I could bring down your "Doctor Who" with a single word. Fans: You're the worst writer and showrunner we've ever met, but we don't think you're quite capable of that. Chibnall: No, you're right. Not a single word, just six. Fans: We don't think so. Chibnall: Six words. Fans: Stop it! Chibnall: Six. Chibnall goes over to BBC and shows this: Chibnal: The Doctor is the timeless child! Fans: What did he say? BBC: Oh, well, nothing, really. Fans: What did he say? BBC: Nothing. I don't know. Fans: Chibnall, Chibnall, what did you? What was that? What did he do? What did you say, Chibnall? Chibnall! You stupid...
12 revealed that he is a hybrid right towards the end so the doctor being part time lord and part whatever makes sense to me. I wish more people would look at this show with more love and understanding. It's debatably the greatest TV show in the world and the longest running so just imagine the pressure on Chris Chibnall and the new writers to deliver. They're all trying to fill gigantic shoes here and the show did grow stronger from season 11 to 12. I've grown to love Jodie and I'm still giving these writers and Chris a lot of slack. All the negative criticisms might do more harm than good.
Vincent and The Doctor - An episode that makes me fucking cry every time I see it because it's so powerful. One of the best Who episodes ever penned. Rosa - I dunno, it's racism I guess.
You know what, I didn't even realise one of the biggest reasons I disliked the new series: Daddy Murray is no longer doing the music. The music in Doctor Who has always been one of the most enjoyable parts of the show for me.
I'm so glad you mentioned the change of composers. The music in the doctor who was one of the main reasons why I loved the show but since they changed composers every scene in the new season just feels really empty.
I can't begin to describe my frustration with various situations where 13 basically just shrugs her shoulders at the villain, especially when similar confrontations created some of the best moments for previous Doctors. I want a 13 'Captain Runaway' speech or just an episode where she comes across as someone I should actually listen to. She's an incredibly passive protagonist.
"A lot of Doctor Who is getting through the schlock to get to those episodes which are really special" That's the best description of the show I've ever heard.
Chris was probably trying to take us back to old who, despite the fact that doctor who learned pretty quickly that having one companion is much easier to write a character for.
perfect analysis, actually: in order to address the division in the audience, they played it as safe as humanly possible in an attempt to not piss off either side. yet ultimately what that resulted in was not pleasing either side either - EVERYONE just saw it as almost violently mediocre.
My brother would say "that is what sjw's do to everything they touch." I like to think this is what happens when you make art for money not art for art.
@@entertain7us148 It does if you believe your political party would eat you alive if you said anything that doesn't fit the narrative. This is what is happening were I live. Everyone is acting like their poo doesn't stink. And, when someone just happens to smell it, they mark you with the scarlet letter. Thank goodness I'm illiterate.
Dryice 2199 I spose. That was truly poetic. That was my original point tho - trying desperately not to offend anyone on either side so being just mediocre enough to actually end up pissing off both sides. If that reflects any political position at all, it’s probably centrism.
"they played it as safe as humanly possible in an attempt to not piss off either side" You've got Chibnall practically boasting that a chunk of his (uniformly leftwing) cadre of writers now partly comprise of individuals hired because they ticked boxes rather than were proficient in their craft. You've got the ever noxious, charisma-free Whittaker frequently gassing on about muh feminism via interviews instead of promoting the show. You've got practically every episode of the season dedicated to ramming various facets of _far_ Left ideology down the audience's throat at the expense of the ingenious escapist entertainment they so desperately want. You've got elements of the leftwing media blatantly shilling for the show SOLELY because of _ideological_ expediency..... (phew) .....and you're intimating that Doctor Who is failing because it attempted to placate all 'sides'?! Well each to their own and all that but nah.
032 "I watched all of Who for this video" Dang a few seasons must have ate up a good week or two- "And I mean ALL OF WHO" Oh lord, how did you survive?!
Hartnell, Troughton, Pertwee-hit-or-rmiss, fast forward, Eccleston, Tennant... *The End.* All in, about 13 years. Anything else was drivel. All aboard the Tardis and mind the doors, please! 😜😂
45:00 no doctor I respected would've just stood there and said "I don't want any trouble." It's just painful how poorly they wrote poor Jody. I really hope they can right the ship, because this show has meant a lot to me.
Heck they could have aloted more time about The Doctor's gender confusion, as it has been astablashed Time Lords can change gender, the confusion could come from this being the first time for the doctor. Almost like the introduction of 11th and his confusion with taste and almost everything else about himself.

I hate the music. I hate how every episode has some statement it is making. I hate how 13 has no personality. I hate how they are wasting historical figures for shoutouts, only using them to seem ‘woke’. What was the point of Ada Lovelace being in Spyfall?! I would have loved an episode like The Unquiet Dead with her in it but the plot was so dull and lifeless. Pretty much the only thing I like about the new seasons is Ryan and Graham.
All the best episodes have a statement they’re making, especially left wing ones, it’s a big part of the shows history, the difference is just that these episodes don’t do it very well.
@@Noah-po2cr left wing yes, but still in good taste and not literally calling the other side Nazis, racist or whatever the ism of the week is, Doctor who used to respect both sides, now it only preaches to one.
Just compare how 13 uses historical figures to how others use them, every episode I watch has some political message. 11 included Hitler for gods sake, they just put him in cupboard showed distain and carried on. That was a good episode. Hell there's a scene now where 13 describes her change as an 'upgrade' despite contradicting the fact that Timelords surpassed concepts like this a long time ago. It's all just a mess with the focus on a political message rather than having a good story. Have a good story then add in a political message.
@@jakechinn6561 yeah never liked how the 13th uses historical people to push agenda's. in the older seasons they where just well themselves part of the furniture.
pinkchihua Ada Lovelace being in spyfall was so odd, they just seemed to clutter up what started as an interesting modern day story. Also they had Lovelace and Babbage but only treated Ada Lovelace as being important, it seems like they are trying to ignore one persons achievement so they can make a woman seem like the main creator. They were both important and deserved more than to be shoehorned in to an unrelated episode. The best message doctor who has had was Martha in Elizabethan London, mentioning that people may notice that she’s black only for the doctor to effectively say people won’t care. It let Martha be something more than her race as she could actually develop a personality, while also having a great message that you shouldn’t care about someone’s race. To compare that message with today, it’s as if we’ve taken a step backwards far from the policy of letting people be people everything is aimed at going look at that minority they need help and extra representation because they definitely are incapable of doing something themselves, then getting angry at white people for thinking this isn’t fair. It’s fine to have a message, but if you’re making people take a step back and go what you have fucked up, the best message is one that someone watching in the future won’t notice like the Star Trek kiss between Kirk and Uhura, massive then but something without knowing the context doesn’t seem unusual for the plot. The recent poisoned planet episode which SPOILERS turns out to be earth because writers are predictable, was so on the nose about climate change it’s ridiculous, we know it’s a problem don’t patronise us.
What worries me about this new direction in Doctor Who is that, when the ratings inevitably slump, BBC might chalk it up to the Doctor being a woman, and not the fact that the writing is shit. A female Doctor of the same quality as Missy from Moffat's run (the standout performance of the later Moffat seasons, imo) would've been a treat.
I think what makes it unsatisfying is how the Left seems to be fixated on the theory that gender identity is 100% socialization. What this means is they are unwilling to actually depict the Doctor as actually being different because of their gender swap. Which makes the switch pointless. Nitpix is confusing liberals of the past with liberals(and Leftists) of the present.
The writing has been shit before so it's not just that it's everything that makes it awful, and the doctor being female isn't right for the character either
Like we always say, "It's not the the fact that she's a woman that's the problem, it's that she's a poorly written character that happens to be a woman." Don't use your gender as your most important feature.
What i find to be wrong is it brakes the story of the 13th doctor as seen in the show , The 13th Doctor is broken a mess unsure what is good are bad anymore. It was going to be such a great story calling back to how ppl did see the 1th doctor. but as a woman is nothing not even knowing it till told or acting like.
What I hate the most about 13, is that there is nothing that ties the season together. Have a look at the crack in time or bad wolf, those made everything for together...
My favorite example of Murray Gold's genius was the Amy/Rory motif throughout the first half of Series 7. It slowly builds on itself through several episodes until it reaches a climax of full statement with choral part when Amy and Rory jump from the roof in The Angels Take Manhattan.
@@Solisus starting the video with "this is sponsored by X" and then his message about the sponsor, would been better than this random lets pretend its natural
I love how during Moffat's tenure, everyone hated him, especially towards the end, but now he's gone, everyone's suddenly acting like he always struck gold.
Imainge you have two choices between a lunch. One lunch is some crazy type of curry/different food you haven't had before and the other is a very very plain and boring sandwich. Not even a good normal. It may look kinda good but you can tell its not gonna be. I cant speak for you but im taking the curry
Moffat certainly didn't always strike gold (in fact I'd say he only did once on his own - series 5. Yes he wrote extremely good episodes for RTD, but his biggest failure is recognising which of his big ideas are stupid, and when he wasn't the showrunner, he had someone else to reign him in), but at least he didn't constantly drill straight through the bedrock.
@@razlad2523 let's not J. K. Rowling's the doctor just yet. The tenth doctor believes he (essentially) killed all other time lords. If the Master lives, he did not commit full genocide of his own people.
I really hope that Murray Gold will come back for the 60th. I can't imagine a episode with 10, 11, 12 without The doctor forever, I am the doctor and A good man.
Chibnall is a unique story writer, in that everything he writes is lacking in story. The Doctor was always going to have more regenerations. The BBC were never going to replace the main character of the show. All Chibnall did with The Timeless Children, was to remove the need for any future stories explaining how he/she is still alive.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR BEING THE FIRST PERSON TO ACTUALLY CREDIT MURRAY GOLD. I've downloaded every Dr Who soundtrack with him on it and I just adore his work. Such an underrated composer and definetly my favorite.
From what I recall, 9, 10, 11, and 12 had reasons for being. Recovering from the war, wanting to reject a past self and just adventure, cutting loose on his enemies, and eventually accepting what was and looking older again...or something like that. Writing aside, maybe this version just doesn't have a reason to be. Maybe that's why it feels "meh."
Chibnall is notorious for over-saturating the story, with tons of things happening at once, without doing much with all of them. The kerblam episode was decent, but I wasn't really entranced with any of the others, and a lack of memorable moments. I agree he was trying to do something "different", and I enjoy something intriging that makes me think, but this series didn't scratch my itch.
I remember the Monday after Doctor Who episode Rose aired was our bin day, i happened to be going out to the shop as the guys who come along to empty the bins came round as far as my bins. Made a joke about getting eaten by a wheelie bin and they laughed even though they been getting those all day. Russell T Davis was a genius because he was able to get an every day object that you barely even notice is there, and make it suddenly scary.
Chibnall criticized DW for not really challenging the audience way back when, and you can see how that viewpoint has influenced the latest season. Thing is, it's even less challenging now. The show just presents a black and white situation and tells you which one is the right one, then the credits role. I find it kinda funny.
Forgive me for saying this, but it sounds like politics. Remember everyone, the other side is evil, and wrong. They definitely don't all have unique and varied reasons for why they believe what they do. Every single person is either with you, or against you. There is no in-between, or gray area. Just listen to our side, we'll tell you what is right and wrong, and what to believe. Note that I'm not saying which side does this. That's because everyone does this, no matter the political side they personally adhere to. inb4 I'm obviously [insert political side opposite who ever is replying to me] so anything I say should be ignored, or is dangerous, or some other bullshit.
@@GotoMaki4Micah I would have loved the Dr to be Tilda Swinton. So disappointed with this one. She got the scatterbrain, that talks to much part of her role right, but sadly in a none entertaining way. I just don't want to listen to her. After the often to serious Capaldi, Swinton would have been ideal. Alien, new to being female,... - just perfect!
Jerrica Benton I think she’s got the right charisma and style, but we haven’t seen enough of her emotional power. Nearly all other Doctors (definitely all the good Doctors) had bursts of wrath and still had childish moments. The new series is good enough (some episodes needed better writing) but we need another one to see all the potential of Whittaker. I agree other series have been more iconic in fewer episodes but I was skeptic about Peter Capaldi at first. I really disliked him at first and thought the first episodes could’ve been better... but now he’s one of my favourites because we’ve seen him as angry, slightly childish, witty and impulsive. We only need more experience watching Whittaker’s acting before we make a concrete judgement. Anyway sorry for my rant.
To be fair, she was following someone who did a bit of that. Guitar battles in the medieval times anyone? The problem is.. one of these was better written than the other and the actor is much better suited for it. Chibnall tried to pick up where it was left without being a good writer or having good writing staff and an actress who just doesn't fit that type of character. It's a shame, they could have done better with what they were given.
@@Folsomdsf2 The 12th doctor was the biggest shame of its time, and some of the moments like the one you mentioned just made me slam my face into a door.
It's a Moffat situation again. Chibnall wrote 42, The Hungry Earth/Cold Blood, and a bunch of Torchwood episodes, which are all good stories, but he's not that good a showrunner, it seems
For the first episode they should've had two competing aliens trying to kill Ryan. Why Ryan? Because he was the first person to touch the Mystery Fig. No stupid timeless bombs that don't do anything, no stupid tentacle blob that doesn't do anything.
and ride a bike to escape, scrap that whole youtube channel sht, ask doctor to save grace when she got tardis back, give doctor a death cable instead of his phone because why not,...
Oh that’s actually interesting. The aliens could come from a planet where these hunting competitions are used to give status to different people. It would give the doctor this odd three way situation of 2 characters stopping each other from killing someone because they want to kill them themselves, while the doctor is stuck in the middle just trying to stop them both and save the person. What a fun way to introduce a new companion too, by having them at the center of a ridiculous sci fi alien society thing they can really reinforce their role as the grounded half of The Who dynamic who is meant to be a vessel for the viewer. It lets the doctor have a strong conflict and allows the doctor to have time with a new companion who can also have chances to show off why they would be a good and unique new companion. As far as concepts for an episode, and more specifically a new series introductory episode, of doctor who I actually really love this idea.
@@ArlanKels Yeah I agree with that. Like simplifying the story down makes it easier and more digestible to portray and understand characters and the world they’re in. There are examples of complex that work really well (like inception and honestly really any Christopher Nolan movie) but generally speaking simplistic story let’s you highlight the other aspects more clearly. Well nonetheless the story in that episode was simple and yet somehow nonsensically dumb and it did not do a good job of using what simplicity was there to help focus on character and world building.
Why get so triggered when someone points out that people in the past were racist by our standards? We should be able to look back and laugh because we've progressed.
Yes there was more cultural racism, but forgetting that the cultural change against racism began in the 60s, so must have been doing something right. “Everyone in the past was racist” is just an oversimplification of the past to feel smug about who you are today. But whateverervereverever
I’d say five S12 a go, or at least the first few episodes of each new season, to see if it’s any good. Might be missing out in something good. Like It Takes You Away, which was a genuinely amazing story (save the frog bit, if you’re not into that) or Resolourion.
YES you hit the nail on the head , plus there has been far too many episodes where they always end up in victorian england which is very boring, love the old doctor whos from the 70s heheh
@@jeerapaul 60s were the best. We'd only seen serieses made in the States, up 'til then. After Troughton it went downhill, like the Dr had enrolled in Drama School and found the costume box. Eccleston brought that edgy, very likely psychopathic alien back and Tennant brought an even colder and lethal rage, in between some hilarious quips, against those that tried to hurt his beloved hairless apes. Since then it's regenerated back to theatrics. I waited around thirty-six years for the Dr to regenerate and, hopefully not, I'll wait as long again for his return. 🎶Ti-i-i-ime is on my side, yes it is🎵
i realized i was bored with it when i paused the rosa parks episode after the third time they zoomed in on the whites sign on the bus. i paused it to use the bathroom and i came back and forgot i was watching it. i didnt realize till 2 days later when i saw the tab...then i realized it was letting me down on some unknown level
It's my personal view but I think 1 season on 2 are pretty boring, but and so the actual one will be cool^^(no spoilers don't worry). And to be honest even if the show become boring, at least the last episode will not be frustrating, or maybe not And seriously, the end of S12 will be incredible Sorry for my poor english, long times since I wrote in that lang.
Do you mean Robert Llewellyn? I don't think he's Welsh though. Back to Reality was filmed on Rhyl beach though, I know that because I watched them film it.
doctor who used to feel like an escape but now it feels like I’m having education forced down my throat,, don’t get me wrong I agree with all their messages but it just doesn’t have the same wonder and edge it did before
Murray Gold is a genius who composed music perfect for every theme or tone in this vastly varied show. Segun Akinola made ambient background noise which was forgettable, bland and boring
Series 11 is terrible. But, it's cool if you enjoyed some of it. Yes, the other series before it. Weren't perfect. But, the creative directions were much better. There was scale and the characters were likeable.
Well the story could be slightly limited by its child-friendly tone, lack of violence, little (personal) death, etc. Then again, it just wouldn’t be Doctor Who. Torchwood does quite a good job at this, if you haven’t seen it already.
i think doctor who went downhill with the matt smith era, i truly hated the matt smith doctor, i could find no saving graces thankfully the companions could carry the show though. there was a little good blip with peter capaldi but now this travesty s just dire, there is absolutely nothing worth watching.
Brilliant mate. You've pointed out how a long running show cannot keep it's quality by hiring directors, producers and script writers who've NEVER watched the show. Your critique of this new season and direction of this show is based on your love of Doctor Who. These people running this show have no idea what they are writing about nor do they really care about good writing.
I remember the first time I saw "don't blink", I knew what the weeping angels were and what they did, as at the time it was the Matt Smith era and I had already watched "the time of angels" (well, up to the angel on the monitor scene, I then turned it off and ran away), but despite that, and despite watching it in the middle of the day, I still had to pause it halfway and stand behind my couch to get my shit together enough to keep watching. Those were the days... Edit) oh and don't even get me started on "the empty child"...
43:52 Queen Elizabeth didn't order that all Africans be arrested and exiled from England on sight. Specifically, she agreed to a request from a merchant of Lübeck, who had freed and brought home 89 British subjects confined in Spain and Portugal, for him to "acquire" African people to take back with him to Spain and Portugal... but only if their "masters" consented for him to take them away. (They didn't consent, it appears.) So, far from being a general edict to arrest and expel black people from the Realm, this was the Crown giving permission for a _specific_ individual to take slaves/servants from their British "owners", presumably so that he could sell them on as a reward for services rendered. In the centuries since, this has apparently morphed into a myth that the Queen gave a general instruction that Africans should be deported from Britain. Interesting article here: www.mirandakaufmann.com/blog/elizabeth-i-and-the-blackamoors-the-deportation-that-never-was The original letter from the Queen's Privy Council, authorising the merchant's request, is archived here: www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/pathways/blackhistory/early_times/transcripts/privy_van_senden.htm
why put quotation marks around the word masters? sounds like the creationists who defend slavery in the bible by calling it "indentured servitude" why do they always resort to pc bullshit?! she agreed with someone's request to participate in the slave trade. see? my hand didnt fall off for typing it like it is.
@@GD-lw9yv She was a nutter and awesome. She WAS more elegant, which reminded me of the original Master whomst i love dearly, but it makes sense, since her arc was about- Basically calming down.
I stopped watching Doctor Who before Peter Capaldi became the Doctor (actually right around the Matt Smith changeover), and have only seen a few episodes here and there.
Sad thing is, now series 13 is over and it didn't got any better from our first thoughts on Whittaker's Doctor. And personally I feel so frustrated about this, cause it was the first female doctor we had, and I was so excited about her! I hope we have another female doctor someday, and that she'll be well written
Oh wow. A whole hour and a half of creamy diarrhoea. If you honestly call THIS poo ‘content’, then you need to get your head checked. My channel has more nuanced Doctor Who reviews and my videos are thicker and dencher. Your channel is a graveyard and I’m the bullet that put you there. 💀💀☠️💀

Diarrhea.
Yes. This is what I want. Feed my hate for bad writing.
That the problem, series 11 is poorly written. The actors involved are proven good actors so it's unfortunate to see the potential for new and interesting stories being totally squandered
@@themadhammer3305 how do you like peices of cinematic work where the actors write about their charicter living and enjoying, and disliking things and even episodes with them as their character helping drive the story
@@VincentGonzalezVeg well to use a previous doctor who character as an example. the actor who played Wilfred Mott had input on how the character was written, the scene where he talks about being in Palestine in 1948 was a real experience of the actor who played Wilfred. In my opinion scenes like that help make a character feel like a real person, obviously not every scene can be improvised but actor input on their character and being given a bit of Lee way to improvise usually does work quite well
Here's something an actual critic might do: Explain why the earlier seasons worked and this one didn't. Instead of assuming everyone's a sexist because of a stunt to boost ratings (that failed).
@@mariokarter13 What are you talking about?
Imagine if the Doctor would have been a lovely old lady that gets out of situations with wit and charm
Ngl I'd actually like to watch that
Wit, charm, and modest brilliance would be great. Oh; I guess I'm thinking above my station -- do you think Dame Helen Mirren has the makings of this Doctor?
That would legitimately be a great "first woman Doctor". Sweet old grandmas can go undetected and underestimated. So many ways to make good episodes around that.
@@aliceiscalling I know!!! just imagine her quickly taking her sonic screw driver out of her purse and saving the day!!
Alas, the whole idea of Chibnal's mess has plainly been to appeal to young people -- a fresh new audience to gorw up with new Doctors and stick with them forever. An older man is fine; an older woman -- ? Hell, no! Stupid, stereotype-bound, commercially limited decisions got us here. I don't think I'm going to live long enough to see the show grow back to itself -- assuming it lasts at all.
Can we all stop and acknowledge that Chibnall has accomplished one thing that's pretty impressive. Got Davies fans and Moffat fans to agree on something. True, it's the fact that he sucks worse than either, but still!
It really annoyed me how hard people were on Moffat towards the end, sure his overarching storylines were hit and miss, but even in the weaker seasons in that respect (6,7 and 9) there were some great individual episodes.
@@andybyrd4107 Moffat's troubles started with 12 - or more accurately 12 and Clara. Clara shined with 11, because they were both equally as...manic. But 12 was far calmer and poised (guitar solos on tanks not withstanding) so the two characters just grated against each other.
I liked Bill, but before too long, Moffat started trying to cram 2 episodes worth of plot into a one episode slot.
But overall, I agree - it was mostly Davies fans that were trashing him for the most part. Probably because he trolled them a bit with how he handled Amy and 11 (in contrast to 10 and Rose freaking Tyler)
@@digitalutopia1 I preferred Clara with Capaldi because in her first series she was just copying Matt Smith and the show already had a character like that. I think the conversation in the cafe where they both lie to each other about being happy and everything working out should have been the last we saw of her though. That would have been poignant and meant something.
@@andybyrd4107 It's funny you say 6, 7 and 9 where the weaker season, becuase I think the exact opposite. 5, 8 and 10 were the weakest, and 6, 7 and 9 were decent overall.
Alon More What do you mean?
I just realized the racial discrimination scene perfectly demonstrates what’s wrong with Whitaker’s doctor. Can you imagine ANY of the other doctors reacting so passively to Ryan getting assaulted the reaction should be like when the tenth doctor loses it at the dad yelling at him in that one with the alien tvs.
contrast fem who to capaldis who who punched out a guy just for making a comment towards Bill for being black.
whittekers weak woman dr just stood there while far worse occurred.
women are warriors against oppression, right?
it seems the limp wristed bbc only want to point at racism, instead of actually portraying someone actually confronting it.
You know what’s really messed up? 13 uses similarly racist language to Ryan when she first meets him. She calls him “boy”, which is used racially against Black men in America. The racist guy in Rosa calls him “boy” as well.
As soon as I heard her say that, I cringed. She could have said any other word. Lad. Fella. Gent. Anything else. But she says boy. I love when woke people trip up and expose themselves.
@@hothotheat3000 that's a real stretch. Even if that's true it's not even an American show.
@boris steve I'm not surprised. Just disappointed
@@hothotheat3000 The term boy doesnt have the same racial connotations here, that's a silly point.
So it doesn't suck because it's political, it sucks because it sucks.
the political bits could have been bloody awesome had it been handled properly, even if people disagree with some of the political opinions expressed.
That's unfair, it sucks on each and every level so completely, to single any one element out for total suckage is invidious and does a gross disservice to all the other elements which suck asshole to infinity in their own right.

TimStamper Honestly that scene where Van Gogh is crying in the gallery and then when Amy comes back and realises that even with their help he still killed himself broke me as it shows how depression can't be solved with one act and the like.
Omg same
It was so good I keep on misremembering it as a Tennant episode.
yeah it's actually kind of insane how I went from being in love with this show to straight up not bothering with the new season. stopped episode 2 half way and haven't bothered to continue.
The thing that annoys me the most is that they dropped the whole lonely god complex that Davies really worked on. Tennants acting as a man who keeps running because if he stops he will relize how lonely he is is heartbreaking
I know this hasn’t got much to do about the comment but I just wanted to talk about how much I love the older episodes
@@thechazzler8934 The 10th Doctor and his adventures are straight up magical. I almost feel like that attitude and vibe Tennant brought to the role gave me a whole new lease on life, a new perspective, a new morality.

@@Xerophlume Fetus, Yes, that's authentic Doctor, to me, -- loneliness, and loss. Capaldi's version of this gave me a place to put my own feelings during the years that my husband was descending into Alzheimer's and death. I swear, if Capaldi's Doctor hadn't played it all out there in front of me, I think I'd have exploded with that kind of pain, the way people can. They say every fan eventually gets the Doctor they deserve; I'd loved Tom Baker and enjoyed Pertwee, but I think Capaldi helped me save my sanity.
@@thechazzler8934 so annoying that she calls them family... dude the doctor would never let that happen
I loved that from Eccleston by the way - “That won’t last, he’s gay and she’s an alien.”

So basically, the wrong Dr Who fanboy got the job.
Just like Rian Johnson was for Star Wars. Say what you want about JJ and Force Awakens, you can tell that he genuinely love Star Wars, all its flaws and beauty. For Johnson it felt like he likes it as well maybe even love it but wants to change it completely for the sake of being different and make it "better" while ultimately leading nowhere. I feel Chibnall is the same way. Both these people either just want to be different for the sake of being different or they just don't get the franchise they have.
Yeah, I don't really know what does Chibnall liked from Doctor Who, he is just writing as if it is any other show.
@@nostalgiatrip1 In some ways, there's still even a bit of the 'good' in there as well, as arguably Rogue One's the best of the new lot, with some good stuff of it's own that doesn't feel like rehashes or 'subvert expectations'.
@@gratuitouslurking8610 2/3 of the original trilogy stories were about blowing up the death star, anyone who complains about rehashing story in startwars has as much idea of what makes starwars good as Rian Johnson does.
It's a space opera, just like in soap operas the overall story doesn't matter it's only there so we can see characters interact, every single Iconic moment from starwars is about characters and JJ understood that's why at the end of the force awakens all you have is questions about characters, Who's snoke? who are rays parents? where is luke? ect, while when you have an generic action story like in the last jedi the only real question is "Why are they making another movie after this?" because the rebels have lost, there is no way to recover without some stupid bullshit like finding a lost rebel fleet somewhere and there are no questions about the characters.
Rogue one was a good action movie, but it's not a space opera like episodes 1 to 7, Though i would be happy for them just to abandon the main series and just make decent spin offs like this and not trying to bait people in like they did Solo: The story no one asked for.
@jason lewis Well yea, it's a trilogy, he was writing it as one, the only mainline stand alone Star wars movie is Star Wars (A New Hope) because it was never intended series.
Basically everything you mentioned doesn't matter, not trying to be rude but, watch the first 3 movies and they tell you fuck all about the political state of the galaxy or how they manage to build 2 death stars so quickly.
Sure the prequels gave us a shit ton of lore but, people hated them...well until TFA and TLJ came out, now I only see people talking about how good they are, disney basically sat down JJ and told him to stay the fuck away from anything that even remotely looked like the prequels, so that's why there isn't even a hint of lore in the movies.
JJ did fine setting everything up, it was rian that fucked it, was TFA a master piece, no but nether was A new hope which is weakest of the original trilogy and I'm not even going to mention how god awful the phantom menace was compared to clone wars and return of the sith.
That comparison of Van Gogh and Rosa Parks episodes was spot on. Van Gogh still makes me cry everytime Bill Nighy praises him. I couldn't care less about Rosa when 13th spoke.
I loved the part where 13 kept saying "nO gUnS" but then lured a bunch of spiders into a room to starve to death and let another one painfully suffocate. Real solid moral compass.
Also: detonated DNA bombs in Tim Shaw, and then the person being targeted by Tim Shaw for murderizing pushes him off a crane, so she says "you had no right"
That made NO sense
And then killed a TEENAGER who wanted better rights and yes he was doing something bad but she never punishes the ai who killed an innocent girl instead of getting more help
woke left don't have a moral compass that's the problem

Season 10, The Doctor's companion is insulted by a racist this angers the Doctor enough for him to knock the guy out. Season 11, the Doctor's companion gets a slap in the face and the Doctor doesn't even give one of her telling off.
This is an example of one of the things I really hate about the Chiball era, there's no way the Doctor would be so chilled out about someone under their care being assaulted, this was a great opportunity for the new Doctor to go dark and be a badass but nope she apparently has less teeth than Nardole..
Whittaker's Doc, however he's written, has no passion. She's just like one of those boring characters in "Broadchurch", which literally put me to sleep, the people were so dull.

b) having the cheek to bring all her womanly essence to this most manly of shows( even thought most of the recurring cast since the reboot have been female.)
c) the bad writing...... this is Doctor Who we still talking about right?
d) or maybe some of you hate the fact that she a woman because you can't relate to her and but you can relate to an near immortal alien with two hearts and who shows more compassion than most of you are showing in this comment section.
e) your a virgin and an incel who knows deep down you don't have a chance with most women because of who you are inside and out and calling them ugly is your way getting back someone who doesn't even know your alive.

Separate from mainstream scifi, but cloned from political broadcasts.

Basically Dr. Who became the one thing that will kill any show: agressively bland. Bland writing, bland acting, bland music, bland cinematography. I'd rather watch a baseball player swing for the fences and sometimes miss than bunt every at-bat. It's just not thrilling to watch.
Maybe for a while, with the timeless child it seems to have escalated to pissing off fans :/
That's what this era of cancel culture's done. No one wants to offend anyone, so it's all sterile. Nothing pushes the envelope, or is exciting.
In short, it became politically correct. That's what kills creativity.
@@demitraferles7970 Not really. Firstly, I'm not sure how Doctor Who wasn't politically correct before. Like, you had that Silurian woman and the other woman having an on-screen snog in series 8, and Bill being black and lesbian, and some of the pro-worker (I can't think of a better word) lines that the Doctor had in series 10, like the bit in Thin Ice when he shuts down that posh racist guy.
Secondly, I think it's just that the writing was not good. None of the characters felt like real people, or different people for that matter, motivations for doing anything important rarely made sense, the villains were uninteresting, let alone unthreatening and the dialogue was just truly _awful._ Even if the Doctor had been a guy as normal, she would have still been grossly unDoctorlike. She had giant spiders starve to death, murdered that Amazon worker guy in cold blood, got the Master sent to a concentration camp, and was utterly pathetic in hiding behind her so-called "social awkwardness" as an excuse not to comfort Graham about his cancer worries.
The acting was similarly dull, although I suppose we can blame that on the absence of real characters to act out, and the music wouldn't even fit a department store lift.
I can tell you, as someone who watched series 11 and 12, that it doesn't have anything to do with politics, especially not when the only things it really gets right are "racism is bad" and "climate change is bad". The show just happened to be shite.

I only watched young Smith as the Dr, because of young Pond's incredible acting.
I somehow doubted a female Dr would do well, because Chibnal is incapable of writing a strong female role.
I've heard her performances were tepid.
Personally, I expect an alien of the Dr's calibre to both amuse and terrify me, which is why my respective placings would be Tennant, Eccleston, then Hartnell.

Yes, the Doctor would definitely go, "it's fine, it doesn't matter, this planet will kill us and you're thousands of light years from home, but it doesn't matter, we'll be fine." Remember when the Eleventh Doctor said: "Yes, if we lie to her, she'll get all better."
@@samuelbarber4154 it’s more the fact that the companions do not give a shit. They unwillingly got teleported into deep space, suffering oxygen deprivation, got shot at by robots, and still don’t really care or are angry towards the doctor in ANY way. They literally just accept it. There’s no character conflicts. Imagine Rose, Martha or Donna having this happen on their first “accidental” outing. The Doctor would get a right slap.

I know I'm late, but I completely agree. Screwing with someone's stuff, taking joy in their dismay and showing no remorse is sociopathic behavior, not friend teasing.

@@aubreykosch4227 To be completely fair, Peter Capaldi took Matt Smith's social awkwardness and increased it to sociopathic levels without having Smith's eccentric charm to balance it out. The Doctor being sociopathic didn't start with Whittaker. At times, Capaldi felt like the Valeyard, which I would be more forgiving of if the Valeyard had actually been ACKNOWLEDGED while the Doctor was in his sociopathic phase. Instead Moffat waited until his last episode, long after Capaldi had grown out of that phase, to mention that the Valeyard existed and even then it was just a throwaway line.
The show has lost its whimsical fun creepiness. Love Jodi, but am beyond sad the writing is so horrid for her. The writers ruined this all time favorite show.

They can’t GET you behind the couch. If you just hide your face behind a pillow, they can see you but you can’t see them. LOGIC! 🤓

I kind of assumed that couches in the UK where for some reason, not up against the wall like every couch I ever saw in real life here in the states. :)
yeah but when I was a kid when the weeping angels came along i was hiding behind the sofa as well lol
Basically, Chibbs writes plot-driven stories instead of character-driven ones.
And not only do character-driven stories work better generally, it’s especially the case for Doctor Who because The Doctor, the companions, the monster and how they all interact based on the choices and themes in the episode is kind of the whole point of the show.
RTD and Moffat understood that in a way I fear Chibbs never will.
It's not f******** rocket science - GET RID OF CHIBNALL NOW!!!......
what plot?
No, he just wrote shite.
Plot driven is good. Aristotle agrees with me.
Chibnall just spews utter drek and I have no idea how he managed to do a Broadchurch.
Amen to that.
Tvs were smaller back then, so the couches were closer and not up against the wall so people could see. There you go, plenty of room to hide now.
@P A TV's still had to be plugged in and cords were shorter.
Also have you ever lifted a proper square TV and not a flat screen? Those things can be as heavy as a couch.

Hide?
Don't hide just switch it off.
It's pure Dr Poo.
And yes being a Woman is a part of the problem.
The other parts being the crap stories and blatant PC BS.
Turn it off and it will go away, as it should.
Also since people tended to do parties and social things at home. the couch was away from the wall, allowing sideboards and table. and a place for people to gather all around. Europeans did this traditionally. the US too but not as much.
The only heating in the room was a fire, so the settee had to be reasonably close to it if you weren't going to get hypothermia. And, yes, I hid behind ours.

My father had only watched the older Doctor Who once or twice growing up as it wasn't his type of show. I urged him to watch the Van Goph episode and he teared up at the final scene. The idea that Vincet was suffering from depression yet was able to see the impact he had in the world of art is beautiful and something to speak of even though he inevitably lost his fight. The message is strong but clear and to this day remains my favorite episode.
Chibnall: Don't challenge me, fans, because I'm a completely new showrunner. I could bring down your "Doctor Who" with a single word.
Fans: You're the worst writer and showrunner we've ever met, but we don't think you're quite capable of that.

12 revealed that he is a hybrid right towards the end so the doctor being part time lord and part whatever makes sense to me. I wish more people would look at this show with more love and understanding. It's debatably the greatest TV show in the world and the longest running so just imagine the pressure on Chris Chibnall and the new writers to deliver. They're all trying to fill gigantic shoes here and the show did grow stronger from season 11 to 12. I've grown to love Jodie and I'm still giving these writers and Chris a lot of slack. All the negative criticisms might do more harm than good.
Vincent and The Doctor - An episode that makes me fucking cry every time I see it because it's so powerful. One of the best Who episodes ever penned.
Rosa - I dunno, it's racism I guess.

You know what, I didn't even realise one of the biggest reasons I disliked the new series: Daddy Murray is no longer doing the music. The music in Doctor Who has always been one of the most enjoyable parts of the show for me.
Definitely. The OST now is decent but I'm not a huge fan of when it gets all atmospheric and stuff.
You might have already seen the dr who at the promos youtube concert of the music.
I'm so glad you mentioned the change of composers. The music in the doctor who was one of the main reasons why I loved the show but since they changed composers every scene in the new season just feels really empty.

I can't begin to describe my frustration with various situations where 13 basically just shrugs her shoulders at the villain, especially when similar confrontations created some of the best moments for previous Doctors. I want a 13 'Captain Runaway' speech or just an episode where she comes across as someone I should actually listen to. She's an incredibly passive protagonist.
"A lot of Doctor Who is getting through the schlock to get to those episodes which are really special"
That's the best description of the show I've ever heard.
So Dr. Who is a live-action anime with mostly filler, got it.

True but I doubt that anyone watches harems for the plot and character development
perfect analysis, actually: in order to address the division in the audience, they played it as safe as humanly possible in an attempt to not piss off either side. yet ultimately what that resulted in was not pleasing either side either - EVERYONE just saw it as almost violently mediocre.

Dryice 2199 I spose. That was truly poetic. That was my original point tho - trying desperately not to offend anyone on either side so being just mediocre enough to actually end up pissing off both sides. If that reflects any political position at all, it’s probably centrism.
"they played it as safe as humanly possible in an attempt to not piss off either side"
You've got Chibnall practically boasting that a chunk of his (uniformly leftwing) cadre of writers now partly comprise of individuals hired because they ticked boxes rather than were proficient in their craft.
You've got the ever noxious, charisma-free Whittaker frequently gassing on about muh feminism via interviews instead of promoting the show.
You've got practically every episode of the season dedicated to ramming various facets of _far_ Left ideology down the audience's throat at the expense of the ingenious escapist entertainment they so desperately want.
You've got elements of the leftwing media blatantly shilling for the show SOLELY because of _ideological_ expediency.....

I recommend to watch the whole video, he has really good points and facts.
I hate the music. I hate how every episode has some statement it is making. I hate how 13 has no personality. I hate how they are wasting historical figures for shoutouts, only using them to seem ‘woke’. What was the point of Ada Lovelace being in Spyfall?! I would have loved an episode like The Unquiet Dead with her in it but the plot was so dull and lifeless.
Pretty much the only thing I like about the new seasons is Ryan and Graham.
All the best episodes have a statement they’re making, especially left wing ones, it’s a big part of the shows history, the difference is just that these episodes don’t do it very well.
@@Noah-po2cr left wing yes, but still in good taste and not literally calling the other side Nazis, racist or whatever the ism of the week is, Doctor who used to respect both sides, now it only preaches to one.
Just compare how 13 uses historical figures to how others use them, every episode I watch has some political message.
11 included Hitler for gods sake, they just put him in cupboard showed distain and carried on. That was a good episode.
Hell there's a scene now where 13 describes her change as an 'upgrade' despite contradicting the fact that Timelords surpassed concepts like this a long time ago.
It's all just a mess with the focus on a political message rather than having a good story. Have a good story then add in a political message.
@@jakechinn6561 yeah never liked how the 13th uses historical people to push agenda's. in the older seasons they where just well themselves part of the furniture.
pinkchihua Ada Lovelace being in spyfall was so odd, they just seemed to clutter up what started as an interesting modern day story. Also they had Lovelace and Babbage but only treated Ada Lovelace as being important, it seems like they are trying to ignore one persons achievement so they can make a woman seem like the main creator. They were both important and deserved more than to be shoehorned in to an unrelated episode.
The best message doctor who has had was Martha in Elizabethan London, mentioning that people may notice that she’s black only for the doctor to effectively say people won’t care. It let Martha be something more than her race as she could actually develop a personality, while also having a great message that you shouldn’t care about someone’s race.
To compare that message with today, it’s as if we’ve taken a step backwards far from the policy of letting people be people everything is aimed at going look at that minority they need help and extra representation because they definitely are incapable of doing something themselves, then getting angry at white people for thinking this isn’t fair.
It’s fine to have a message, but if you’re making people take a step back and go what you have fucked up, the best message is one that someone watching in the future won’t notice like the Star Trek kiss between Kirk and Uhura, massive then but something without knowing the context doesn’t seem unusual for the plot. The recent poisoned planet episode which SPOILERS turns out to be earth because writers are predictable, was so on the nose about climate change it’s ridiculous, we know it’s a problem don’t patronise us.
13 is just a lazy mash up of both 11 and 10 but with none of the heart or charisma that they had
*"Everyone in the 60's entertained themselves with something dumb like sticks or racism"*
*"It's not like they could switch the channel and watch something MORE INTERESTING"*
True, because they didn't know how to get to the moon or pass anti-discrimination laws or create music.

What worries me about this new direction in Doctor Who is that, when the ratings inevitably slump, BBC might chalk it up to the Doctor being a woman, and not the fact that the writing is shit. A female Doctor of the same quality as Missy from Moffat's run (the standout performance of the later Moffat seasons, imo) would've been a treat.
I think what makes it unsatisfying is how the Left seems to be fixated on the theory that gender identity is 100% socialization.
What this means is they are unwilling to actually depict the Doctor as actually being different because of their gender swap. Which makes the switch pointless.
Nitpix is confusing liberals of the past with liberals(and Leftists) of the present.
The writing has been shit before so it's not just that it's everything that makes it awful, and the doctor being female isn't right for the character either

Writing aside, maybe this version just doesn't have a reason to be. Maybe that's why it feels "meh."
Chibnall is notorious for over-saturating the story, with tons of things happening at once, without doing much with all of them. The kerblam episode was decent, but I wasn't really entranced with any of the others, and a lack of memorable moments.

Russell T Davis was a genius because he was able to get an every day object that you barely even notice is there, and make it suddenly scary.
Autons is a Robert Holmes creation, and Moffat is who make every day objets into monsters.
Chibnall criticized DW for not really challenging the audience way back when, and you can see how that viewpoint has influenced the latest season. Thing is, it's even less challenging now. The show just presents a black and white situation and tells you which one is the right one, then the credits role. I find it kinda funny.
Forgive me for saying this, but it sounds like politics. Remember everyone, the other side is evil, and wrong. They definitely don't all have unique and varied reasons for why they believe what they do. Every single person is either with you, or against you. There is no in-between, or gray area.

She got the scatterbrain, that talks to much part of her role right, but sadly in a none entertaining way. I just don't want to listen to her.

Jerrica Benton I think she’s got the right charisma and style, but we haven’t seen enough of her emotional power. Nearly all other Doctors (definitely all the good Doctors) had bursts of wrath and still had childish moments.

I really disliked him at first and thought the first episodes could’ve been better... but now he’s one of my favourites because we’ve seen him as angry, slightly childish, witty and impulsive. We only need more experience watching Whittaker’s acting before we make a concrete judgement. Anyway sorry for my rant.

To be fair, she was following someone who did a bit of that. Guitar battles in the medieval times anyone? The problem is.. one of these was better written than the other and the actor is much better suited for it.

No stupid timeless bombs that don't do anything, no stupid tentacle blob that doesn't do anything.
and ride a bike to escape, scrap that whole youtube channel sht, ask doctor to save grace when she got tardis back, give doctor a death cable instead of his phone because why not,...
Oh that’s actually interesting. The aliens could come from a planet where these hunting competitions are used to give status to different people. It would give the doctor this odd three way situation of 2 characters stopping each other from killing someone because they want to kill them themselves, while the doctor is stuck in the middle just trying to stop them both and save the person. What a fun way to introduce a new companion too, by having them at the center of a ridiculous sci fi alien society thing they can really reinforce their role as the grounded half of The Who dynamic who is meant to be a vessel for the viewer. It lets the doctor have a strong conflict and allows the doctor to have time with a new companion who can also have chances to show off why they would be a good and unique new companion.
As far as concepts for an episode, and more specifically a new series introductory episode, of doctor who I actually really love this idea.

I'm of the opinion that the less complex the story, the more complex it can be.
If that makes sense.
@@ArlanKels
Yeah I agree with that. Like simplifying the story down makes it easier and more digestible to portray and understand characters and the world they’re in. There are examples of complex that work really well (like inception and honestly really any Christopher Nolan movie) but generally speaking simplistic story let’s you highlight the other aspects more clearly.
Well nonetheless the story in that episode was simple and yet somehow nonsensically dumb and it did not do a good job of using what simplicity was there to help focus on character and world building.
Im still upset about Dirk gently getting cancelled.
Yeah me too
I've just binge watched both seasons and my hopes and dreams of watching season 3 were crushed the same day. Such a rollercoaster of emotions!
read the graphic novel 'Green Valley' written by the same writer as DG
Season 2 was much worse anyway

And the books are brilliant, Chloe.
“Everyone just entertained themselves, with sticks... and racism.” Lmfao.
Everything is sexist and everything is racist and you just have to point it out
Goveber buy it Sarkesian law
Why get so triggered when someone points out that people in the past were racist by our standards? We should be able to look back and laugh because we've progressed.
Yes there was more cultural racism, but forgetting that the cultural change against racism began in the 60s, so must have been doing something right. “Everyone in the past was racist” is just an oversimplification of the past to feel smug about who you are today. But whateverervereverever
@@ThemeParkChomp That's how jokes tend to work. Oversimplify something to maximize the reaction.
Season 11 has ruined Dr Who, for me.
Worst writing ever.
Worst acting ever.
Worst Showrunner ever.
Reckon I'll be waiting for the next Showrunner.
Did you forget about the 6th Doctor? You know.... the one that strangled his companion and never apologized for it.
@@Ubermensch9240 I don't care. I'd rather watch the worst episodes of the Classic series than endure season 11 again.
@@Ubermensch9240 6 is decent
Artie Rupinen honestly the sixth doctor’s existence gives me hope... if the series can survive that shit I’m hoping it can survive chibnall
I’d say five S12 a go, or at least the first few episodes of each new season, to see if it’s any good. Might be missing out in something good. Like It Takes You Away, which was a genuinely amazing story (save the frog bit, if you’re not into that) or Resolourion.
Who else is rewatching to cope with "the timeless child?"
It sounds like she's doing a bad david tennant impression..
I wanna like it but it’s on 69 likes and I don’t wanna ruin it
I stopped watching after matt smith left, david tennant was my FAVOURITE doctor, still is.
This looks like an utter mess.....no thanks
YES you hit the nail on the head , plus there has been far too many episodes where they always end up in victorian england which is very boring, love the old doctor whos from the 70s heheh
@@jeerapaul
60s were the best.
We'd only seen serieses made in the States, up 'til then.
After Troughton it went downhill, like the Dr had enrolled in Drama School and found the costume box.
Eccleston brought that edgy, very likely psychopathic alien back and Tennant brought an even colder and lethal rage, in between some hilarious quips, against those that tried to hurt his beloved hairless apes.
Since then it's regenerated back to theatrics.
I waited around thirty-six years for the Dr to regenerate and, hopefully not, I'll wait as long again for his return.

Oh joy. One of those fans.
The latest season of DW had me do something I've never done before while watching the show that made me stop watching.
I fell asleep from boredom.
Aaagh same
Which episode made you fall asleep?
i realized i was bored with it when i paused the rosa parks episode after the third time they zoomed in on the whites sign on the bus. i paused it to use the bathroom and i came back and forgot i was watching it. i didnt realize till 2 days later when i saw the tab...then i realized it was letting me down on some unknown level
@@cryofist ya lie!! That happened to me!!! Omg! And that's why I came to this video.
It's my personal view but I think 1 season on 2 are pretty boring, but and so the actual one will be cool^^(no spoilers don't worry).
And to be honest even if the show become boring, at least the last episode will not be frustrating, or maybe not
And seriously, the end of S12 will be incredible
Sorry for my poor english, long times since I wrote in that lang.
Red Dwarf really had a diverse cast. Not only were two of the cast black, one of them was WELSH. Shocking.
It was also very cheap looking, but the charm of the cast made it shine!
Unfortunately the SJW's ruined it with their virtue-signalling quotas for token toaster characters.
Do you mean Robert Llewellyn? I don't think he's Welsh though. Back to Reality was filmed on Rhyl beach though, I know that because I watched them film it.
@@darrenbradleytwin according to wiki he is of welsh ancestry but he was born in Northampton
When I was a child I would watch Dr. Who then Red Dwarf soon channel 9(PBS) late at night. Some of my favorite memories.
doctor who used to feel like an escape but now it feels like I’m having education forced down my throat,, don’t get me wrong I agree with all their messages but it just doesn’t have the same wonder and edge it did before
same even though im a super die hard socialist i hate it when media preaches my own morals to me
I mean that's on par with the original show too, which was made in part to educate British youth
It's WOKE'D God save the Doctor"
Thank you for mentioning Murray Gold and the new music being shit, hardly anyone does
Ron Grainer and Delia Derbyshire will be spinning in their graves!!!!
Murray Gold is a genius who composed music perfect for every theme or tone in this vastly varied show. Segun Akinola made ambient background noise which was forgettable, bland and boring
Only good music in this series was the indian style ending theme in ghosts of the Punjabi
That's what happens when you hire people based on quotas
Series 11 is terrible. But, it's cool if you enjoyed some of it. Yes, the other series before it. Weren't perfect. But, the creative directions were much better. There was scale and the characters were likeable.
The previous guy sucked too, and of course had to have a black, lezbo companion.

@@abdulmalik2388 shut up with your nfsw shit -.-
Well the story could be slightly limited by its child-friendly tone, lack of violence, little (personal) death, etc. Then again, it just wouldn’t be Doctor Who. Torchwood does quite a good job at this, if you haven’t seen it already.
i think doctor who went downhill with the matt smith era, i truly hated the matt smith doctor, i could find no saving graces thankfully the companions could carry the show though. there was a little good blip with peter capaldi but now this travesty s just dire, there is absolutely nothing worth watching.
Brilliant mate. You've pointed out how a long running show cannot keep it's quality by hiring directors, producers and script writers who've NEVER watched the show. Your critique of this new season and direction of this show is based on your love of Doctor Who. These people running this show have no idea what they are writing about nor do they really care about good writing.
Actually Chris Chibnall is a lifelong Doctor Who fan.
Still can’t write for jack shit tho lolllll
I remember the first time I saw "don't blink", I knew what the weeping angels were and what they did, as at the time it was the Matt Smith era and I had already watched "the time of angels" (well, up to the angel on the monitor scene, I then turned it off and ran away), but despite that, and despite watching it in the middle of the day, I still had to pause it halfway and stand behind my couch to get my shit together enough to keep watching.
Those were the days...
Edit) oh and don't even get me started on "the empty child"...
Are you my mommy?

43:52 Queen Elizabeth didn't order that all Africans be arrested and exiled from England on sight. Specifically, she agreed to a request from a merchant of Lübeck, who had freed and brought home 89 British subjects confined in Spain and Portugal, for him to "acquire" African people to take back with him to Spain and Portugal... but only if their "masters" consented for him to take them away. (They didn't consent, it appears.) So, far from being a general edict to arrest and expel black people from the Realm, this was the Crown giving permission for a _specific_ individual to take slaves/servants from their British "owners", presumably so that he could sell them on as a reward for services rendered. In the centuries since, this has apparently morphed into a myth that the Queen gave a general instruction that Africans should be deported from Britain.
Interesting article here:

The original letter from the Queen's Privy Council, authorising the merchant's request, is archived here:

Losing the 11th doctor’s first companions made me cry so much
Missy was the best version of the master =) but the way the female doctor is written...oh my..
I'm sorry, I can't agree in a universe where John Simm exists
@@wanderingrandomer OK, He was also excellent. But hey Missy your so fine you blow my mind hey Missy
@@GD-lw9yv I thought Missy was pretty insane
@@GD-lw9yv She was a nutter and awesome. She WAS more elegant, which reminded me of the original Master whomst i love dearly, but it makes sense, since her arc was about- Basically calming down.
There was Roger Delgado and then a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away comes the second best Master (take your pick which one)
The 13th doctors introduction was too rushed in my opinion. Even the companions were confused for a while.
MeghanIsBored exactly!
watching this video was better than watching the current season of doctor who
I stopped watching Doctor Who before Peter Capaldi became the Doctor (actually right around the Matt Smith changeover), and have only seen a few episodes here and there.
Sad thing is, now series 13 is over and it didn't got any better from our first thoughts on Whittaker's Doctor. And personally I feel so frustrated about this, cause it was the first female doctor we had, and I was so excited about her! I hope we have another female doctor someday, and that she'll be well written
