How does the Doctor not know where knock off captain jack went, when he changed the location of the telepad to go from the incinerator to a prison dimension
@@Alteori it's even funnier because he says "find me" which the doctor easily could but instead he just leaves him stranded with a bunch of murderous bird aliens who are gonna torture him forever.
@@RealReaper 😂😂😂😂 I was actually shocked he gave up that easily. Dude sacrificed himself and the Doctor was like "anyways yah". Ruby cared more about Rogue than the Doctor did. Good lord I can't take much more of this
It's endlessly entertaining and infuriating to see the double think of "England has been the most racist country in the world and reparations are due" as well as "Of course England has always been incredibly multicultural"
Both are true. England has always been an extremely racist country while also having many people from different backgrounds as part of it's empire, it's really not a hard thing to understand. England litrally enforced it's religion, culture etc on it's colonies via genocide etc. And wealthy POC from the empire would have been very commonplace mixing in higher society in England, as class is what Britain enforced most of it's beliefs on. Also look up the Battle of Bamber Bridge (1943) for how the US tried to import it's anti-black racism and segregation to the UK - the local people accepted and stood with the black soldiers against the white soldiers - the people of Bamber Bridge not only supported the black troops, and when US commanders demanded a colour bar in the town, all three pubs in the town posted "Black Troops Only" signs. - These event even led to the desegregation of the US army.
@@BackUp-nx2delook at some of the period photos from the American West. It's not common, but it does show up enough to get noticed. Usually the hair on top is much longer than a modern fade, but it's the same basic haircut. It didn't become a common hair cut until gas became a recurrent threat during WW1. It lost popularity until it became an entire generation of men's first adult haircut in 1941. Due to the wigs for 1700's England many men (and women) had a kind of "Marine Cut" with just enough hair on their scalp to pad against their wigs
@@americansupervillain4595 Saying most people in Enlgland were white at that time is as racist as saying most people in japan were japanese. What are you on about? The fact travel was more difficult a couple centuries back, therefore societies were more homogenous doesn't make it racist lol
Was literally about to type this. 😅 Abit stupid to do the ‘racism’ episode in the future where theoretically all/ most species and races are friendly and mixed together. Xenophobia would’ve made more sense. But the past where it would’ve made sense they ignored it. The Dr could’ve played a waiter for example, telling the girl how to act, discreetly. But he gets told off for talking to a white woman.
But also they're not racist and half the aristocracy is apparently black, but they are homophobic and this breaks their 'immersion' of what the past is supposed to be.
People are noticing a pattern. The Doctor shows up, he barely does anything (or even disappears for most of the episode), other characters start dying around him, the Doctor gets anxiety, someone/something else saves the day (usually through sacrifice), and the Doctor cries. Sound about right?
Well with the final episode with the greatest threat the doctor has seen the pantheon of discord. There is only one question to ask. How much is the doctor going to cry, and whose really going to save the day?
That sums up my take on the new Doctor quite well. He doesn't act like the Doctor at all most of the time. You'd never think he was a brilliant, brave, and sometimes intimidating thousands of years old alien, who normally takes charge and personally saves the day.
I believe his actual comparison was that of a human dating a dog. Missy made much the same comparison. So basically, the modern doctor is into beast-alty.
it would be like p3d0philia. The Doctor is over 2000, and that guy is what 30? That the equivalent of Harvey Weinstein and, oh i dunno, name a hollywood actress in her teens. Then again, this IS a gay Doctor. And we all know they are pro...that. "We're cumming for your children, gonna corrupt them bit by bit." *cringes*
The main reason this doctor is so horrible is because of how watered down and human they are making him. He isn’t something greater than us any more. He’s getting into relationships, constantly crying, and struggling to figure out basic solutions until the very end of each episode. He’s no longer a unique alien here to help us because he can barely even help himself. He’s being written like a side character rather than someone containing knowledge beyond anything we know.
It has been a plot point in three episodes, nearly in a row, that he doesn't watch where he steps and steps on bad things he pretty much can't deal with. It was the entire central plot of two of those episodes. He's a clown.
every time i mention this people say it's toxic that i dislike the doctor crying so much, cause it shows that he's emotionally healthy and 'healed'. apparently they, nor RTD seem to understand that you can be emotionally healed AND not cry every episode! the doctor is never the smartest in the room anymore, he waits for the plot to happen, cries about it, then is saved by coincidence or someone else. it's character assassination
He may be stupid, and sure... he cries a lot... but this is great representation for the writers. Finally, they can see themselves on screen as an overly emotional, unintelligent, over-the-top gay black man who goes on whimsical adventures all across a historically diverse England that's hand crafted for a modern audience.
It's so jarring that the doctor was head over heels for this random bounty hunter in less than what? An hour? Compared to every other point in the past where someone may have show interest in him. It took how long for him to get that close with the original Rose? Not to mention River?
Yeah, but now the Doctor isn't constrained by his cripling straightness, he can just fall in love with anyone at the drop of a hat ....... or something. LOL. Or are they making some terribly stereotyped statement about gay people? Who the hell knows? This is just how Doctor Who is now. LOL
I’m giggling now imaging a scenario where a guy gets told this and goes out expecting to fight and instead the other person comes on to them. Cue confused reactions. 😂😂😂
The dotor used to be about wanting to share the wonders of the universe with his companions. Sure, they often ended up in problems he needed to solve because of it. But he wasn't constantly trying to get laid, and he wasnt stupid.
Indira Varma the same actress as played Ellaria Sand, from game of Thrones, which is why they look similar. Naturally a half Indian Duchess in Bath in 1813 is perfectly normal, because even England's greatest physicist Sir Isaac Newton was half Indian too. At least according to RTD Doctor Who reality.
@@JontyLevine I know, but the cute chibbi animal in the video said they thought she looked like said character form game of thrones, and later called them "budget Lady Martell." I was merely saying its the same actress.
@@Krendall2yeaaaa to me, there’s “prejudice” which is hate against race…and then there’s (there’s no term for this, I think, so I’m making it up) “PRO-racism” which is overwhelming adoration and love for a certain race. But…both of these still fall under “Racism”
I was so distracted by the fact nobody noticed the Doctor pull out his "sonic screwdriver" i didn't think until now why he pulled it out He pointed it at the guy, it gave a signal, and when he went up and spoke to him he immediately assumed he was getting laid ...was it a gaydar... did the Doctor install Gaydar on his sonic screwdriver?...
"This inaccurate fictional TV show also made by this company is wrong, therefore the show about going actually back in time gets to wrongly present history becaue an intentionally inaccurate show they're parodying exists" Yeah, that makes sense. Good job with that totally logical and sensible explanation. Can The Doctor go into the Birth of a Nation timeline too? What other propaganda gets to be 'real history' in this show's universe since that's the mechanic you think makes sense. Can he go to Britain as portrayed by the Nazis during the war and the Nazi presentation is actually now really what happened? Maybe go to the US as presented by Soviet propaganda?
@@chucklebouf5379 Probably? We see constantly in Doctor Who that time is in flux, how events in the past can change the future as we know, like in The Devil's Chord. So I think it's completely possible that the Doctor could end up in those situations, and it would be up to him to fix the timeline.
I think the joke is they ended up in a canon Bridgerton universe (Bridgerton takes place in this time period but makes it unrealistically diverse and whimsical for entertainment value and preaching equality) which is why they threw out historical accuracy for this episode, but good god this whole concept for a DW episode is horrid.
Its because the BBC are incredibly racist and seem to feel that making English history less white is a virtuous act. Steven Moffat actually said "Its a BETTER history" and that by imagining it they were summoning it forth.
"which is why they threw out historical accuracy for this episode" Doctor Who doesn't need explanations like this to waive away stupidity. The show is stupid. Take Thin Ice where the Doctor shows a more diverse London to Bill and when she asks why its more diverse than she was told in school the Doctor suggests white people have kept it quiet. No. Moffat admitted outside the episode that he wanted to "show the world how he wanted it to be" i.e diverse and blaming the white man. Here is the same thing. We have an exploration of a stereotype AS historical truth. Do you think 10 year olds watching this show can separate the myth from the truth? No, they cannot. They grow up and remember this - and go on to think this how it it was.
Stop excusing historical inaccuracy for ideological reasons by referencing their use of another ideologically compromised property. This is not 'the joke' this is the expressed desires of the show runners both past and present to misrepresent the past for the sake of indoctrinating their historically ignorant (and more specifically younger/impressionable and thus vulnerable audience) with their worldview. It is a morally compromised product to its core and it would do you well to recognise that distinctly uncomfortable truth, if you truly wish to be addressing the world honestly.
The BBC quite literally cannot make anything else. They put their own rules in place that prevent them from making the past of their own country accurately. I am not even joking, they have demographic quotas that basically say 'nothing can be too white'. They could portray an african village as 100% african but they cannot show a viking village as it was because of their own rules. That's why in the last episode everyone was so obviously gay, or trans or bi, or a woman, because all of those demographics 'count' and the episode has to be filled with them because they were adamant about it being an all-white society which they cannot otherwise do unless half+ of those white people tick some other box for gender, sexuality or what-have-you.
It just occurred to me that Rogue has a space gun. He wanted to kill them in the first place, why didnt he just shoot them now that they're trapped, and then let Ruby free
Incompetent writers, writing themselves into a corner. Instead of trying to improve they think people criticizing them are bullies, so they don't lissen, don't improve, never.
Easily can write it out as bullets and weapons can't travel in the field due to the air molecules bonding too tightly to fast moving objects. Was that gibberish, yes? Do I understand how the prison works anyway, no, so random stuff works!
Its fine there's an entire spaceship parked in the courtyard and apparently time travelling aliens (at least I hope they're time travelling aliens and they didn't just skip past how tv signals are being picked up centuries before the invention of a TV) leaving bodies all over the place but everyone's fine with it.
Whoever said 'diversity is our strength' in this episode? It involves time travelling so not every episode involving time travelling can be about rce. Also, people who mock ;diversity is our strength' are almost always rct.
But it is exactly how they perceive the reality. They replaced history, at least in their heads. But the reality, this very world you and me live in according to them is unbearably bigoted. They are angry at us for being so, for refusing to change according to how it has to be in their perfect reality. These shows are their ways of passive aggression. Is this really a dr who? No, it is a very bitter and angry old many trapped in his troubled mind attempting to project his resentments on the rest of us. Why are you so cold, why are you so hurtful, he asks as through his script. It could be a cry of help, if the man who needs it was ready to admit it. he does not want to. You all are wrong. Remember racist future episode? That is not the future, that is us. That is us choosing to live in danger every day rather than be next to him. And I swear, if people understood RTD and his thoughts, they would probably not watch this show at all.
it's also the sexual predator one, oh and Bridgerton, can't forget it's the Bridgerton one, that's Bridgerton for anyone who didn't read the whole comment
In the light at the end, the big finish audio story, Dorothy "Ace" McShane gives nicknames to the other doctors Example 6 - Joseph and his multicolour dreamcoat (now that's a reference) I wonder what she'd call this dumba$$ Remember she's from the 80s There's a couple of obvious ones
@PeterCamberwick I had heard it a couple times in passing, but I think that was mostly for a CODA creator I watch who was happy they had a person signing in it. Other then that I think just one or two comments randomly.
Being able to cry on cue is a great talent.. in moderation.. like Dean Winchester in SUPERNATURAL.. but this dude is just ridiculous. Women and children don’t even cry this much!!
It is because he is not playing a doctor. He is playing emotional Ncuti Gatwa. RTD found an actor by his heart, to watch him dance and sing. And he is, he is dancing, he is singing.
I love how we had none of this when the Doctor was female. You know, when it actually made sense for the Doctor to be gay because we had seen so many years of the Doctor being attracted to women regardless of the incarnation. Where was all of this representation energy back then?
We didn't see it because loads of straight white dudes think two attractive lesbians is hot, and of course the BBC doesn't want to make straight white dudes happy.
A few years ago, about halfway through Jodie Whitaker’s second season, out of complete desperation, I tweeted a message to Russel T. Davies. It read, “Dear Mr Davies, please save the Doctor.” I should have just kept my big dumb mouth shut…
In one discussion I finally got the semi-reasonable answer why some people like this, I quote: "the writing this season has been pretty good for those of us who want the same fun trips that we got to watch back when we were kids. A+ season for sure". In other words, the kids who can't see deeper than surface level of characters still like it. It reminds them of thoughtless childhood. That's mind-boggling for me, but at least I can understand that ignorance. Like with some comedies that are hilarious with the logic switched off, but also feel absurd if you start to think...
Basically "brain turned off" content. But why not watch the originals then if it doesn't really matter and all you need at minimum is a quirky plot or something to listen to in the background?
@@BlazeGamerZX yeah, me neither ... Not sure many kids would either. If I recall my childhood, I did not like being talked down to. Still don't, so not exactly an age-specific issue, but still ...
Fifteen: *needs to differentiate himself from the other shapeshifters* Also Fifteen: *shows Rogue all of the faces he’s had, faces which mean nothing to him and only confirm that the Doctor **_is_** a shapeshifter* Also, do Time Lords now store images of their previous incarnations inside them? I could understand the _Atraxi_ displaying his faces because they would’ve scanned the Doctor’s biology and matched it to UNIT’s records, but Rogue’s ship doesn’t _have_ anything like that.
When I was watching the episode and Rogue "arrested" the Doctor my first thought was the Doctor could just tell him to do a medical scan, the two hearts alone would clear him as not being one of the bird people and if they wanted him to be flirty they could do the flirting while they do the scans. Also I know the some Doctors don't like killing if they can avoid it, but when Ruby was on the trap they could have just knocked out the birds then turned the trap off then send them off. Rogue had a laser gun, it probably has a stun setting as that is something that has been shown before, or the Doctor could have modified it with his sonic screwdriver to be non lethal. Give each bird a knock out zap, get Ruby to safety, then send the birds off. This Doctor is not at all clever, he likes to make his own problems and then cry over them.
I mean, he kinda did something similar with Captain Jack in the Empty Child episodes, so ... no clue why they couldn't do that here. Or do the writers think gay black guys aren't as smart as white guys? I ... don't think that's quite the message they wanted to convey so ...
Honestly, Ruby is the only one that made this episode tolerable for me. I always hated the “fallen in love at first sight and moving too fast” trope; ironic that it’s a Disney show and Frozen and Enchanted poke fun of that trope, the 1800s are more racially accepting in their fancy parties, and furries will cosplay the world to death. To makes this episode more worse looking back, how Alteori made me see the Doctor look like a predator now 💀
Im pretty sure i heard that rouge was Kristoff. So hes literally the one telling anna off about falling in love at first sight. And then another of his characters falls in love in the first hour with crybaby here. I cant even call him the doctor as he does nothing that makes him 'The Doctor'.
"The WORST Doctor Who Episode" I have not sat through 4 Parts of the Toymaker one, 6 Parts of Space Pirates, 4 Parts of Power of Kroll, 45 Minutes of "The Care Taker" and Series 7b to see somebody claim this Episode is the worst. It's okay, dare I say decent at best. Like if you are serious with claiming "Man this had to be one of the most painful things I have watched." then man I am jealous truly, because this is not even the worst of this Series of Who, let alone this new era.
This episode is a PRIME example of how terrible the writing is on so many levels! The main problem with RTD's Mocktor 'Ho, is that it sets-up rules and stakes, then completely breaks its own rules and discards any attempts at stakes willy-nilly, for no real reasoning behind any of it! OY! I think that's one of my biggest complaints about RTD's Mocktor 'Ho.
@23:15 fun thing is they used the design of the great condor spaceship from "Les mysterieuses cites d'or" Lost cities of gold. With Esteban, Zia, Tao and Mendoza!
Jonathan Groff is NOT Shooty Twatwa's boyfriend, thankfully. Groffy has been with Corey Blake since 2018. Other ahistorical elements include: "Wallflower" being used to describe a woman who can't attract attention at a party. The first literary use was recorded in 1820. "Okay" was not invented as a word until US President Martin Van Buren tried to make "Oll Korrect" (posh slang for "good" at the time) a thing in his failed 1840 reelection campaign, using the slogan "Martin van Buren is OK". Van Buren lost, but the word stuck. Kneeling to propose marriage (never mind that it's an interracial gay relationship, which was literally a DOUBLE crime in 1813 England) didn't become a thing until the Victorian Era, which is 20+ years later than this. Yes, medieval knights knelt to PLEDGE LOYALTY, but that's not proposing marriage. It's where the proposal idea came from, but it wasn't happening in 1813.
There is one phrase that RTD and the rest of his production team have followed like a religion for this season.... "Forget about it, it doesn't matter if it makes sense"
The doctor finds a dead person and instead of rushing back to ruby he rather gets frizky in the tardis like priority??? You promised ruby mum you will look after her
Did he? Did he really? Not until this episode..... That "flashback" was not from a previous episode. It was totally new and never mentioned previously....
They reference Bridgerton, because it is all they know… and all their target audience knows. Bridgerton is to Period Drama, what this episode of Dr Who is to Dr Who. The past is gone, the future no longer exists. There is only the eternal present, and the party is always right.
Going back to your whole force field question.... forget the whole get out of your shoes thing... the doctor throws a book and hits the scanner keyboard, right? what kinda dollar tree bounty hunter is this guy? wouldnt someone he trapped in this thing be able to pull out a gun and shoot him?
to be fair they WOULD still be trapped if they did that, and with the owner of said contraption dead.... trapped until they either die or are somehow found in an invisible ship...and see i did more thinking there then this season of the show has ever done
@@Guardian582 trapped, until you figure a way out. You might be able to step out of your shoes you might get lucky and have the remote roll out of dead guys and towards you. you might wound him, and threaten a killing blow unless released, you might be able to throw tings willy nilly til you hit the right button... plenty of options!
I want to tell fans of this DW to go wayyy back and watch episodes like The Empty Child, The Waters of Mars, Silence in the Library, Vincent and the Doctor, and The Doctor's Wife. And then watch the newest episodes again to get complete quality and tonal whiplash.
I've seen clip of the older episodes. The pit, the clockwork robots, and even some of the original series. Nothing this season has done could even compare to what has been done before.
10:07 some would say something to the effect of “witches were hanged, not burned”. But me I have yet to receive an answer for why accuracy is important for that detail?
47:25, swear you can hear tapping, like this little foxy is setting up 'lines' or something Alteori chopping up TUMS, "I SWEAR TO CTHULU!! THIS SHOW WILL BE THE DEATH OF ME! *snooort snoort snort*"
They made up a silly sci-fi setting to do the racism stuff and don't use the actual time period episode where it would have made way more sense and fit. Also could you imagine the Doctor acting this way towards Rose or River he'd be called a pushy creep the double standards because he's gay now is infuriating.
Did anyone else know the game in the background was steller blade off the way the NPC boobs looked like, before the main character even showed her face?
You know where this will end up if the show doesn't get cancelled soon. They're going to finally use the Valeyard. And despite how much we've wanted the Valeyard for decades, they'll do it in the worst possible way. They'll use David to play a him so that they can kill him off as an F U to anyone that still likes any White Doctors or any Old Continuity. It'll be the symbolic murder of the franchise, once it's as low as we think it could get.
Drinking game : 44:50 , Every time something stupid append you do one of the following: - Fill a shot - Drink a shot - Try to foreshadow what'll happens next, if you're wrong 2 shots for you ! PSA : Do **not** do that, you probably end up being drunk and completely wasted.
I remember a school trip to Austria back in the 70s we went to a local outdoor pool. The kids were staring at the black kids, teacher said that they had never seen a black. Point being 1800 england apart from major cities there were very few blacks. And definitely none in the upper classes. Ps Why does the dr. Wear wigs? Suddenly wears outfits that fit the time.
@vertigo2894 did I say like? Pointing out a fact. And why does a very small number of Asians with money at the time correspond to people not seeing many blacks outside major cities? In the 1970s ?
@@Rhinoskin62 Are you aware that history isn't so streamlined? King Henry was had a blk musician given backpay and even gave him a gift for his wedding lol! Besides, Doctor Who is a fantasy show, not a documentary. If skin colour bothers you that much then I don't know what to tell you. They have to do some time travel, it can't always focus on rce.
@vertigo2894 you don't understand the back ground to the Dr. The BBC wanted it to be historically correct aimed at children. And it's never been a fantasy show, only Disney who don't understand it wanted fantasy. As for history the numbers were less than .01none in socal standing unless placed there as servants and curiosity because of the standing of the land owner. As for that period out of a population of 10 million there were around 20 thousand blacks, not any other democratic. In London and other cities. If any thing the numbers didn't increase untill the 20th century and this was mainly Indian for working in textile. For context mixed relationships were Frowned on up to the 70s and of course the Infamous no blacks, Irish or dogs on boarding houses.
As soeeone who has never heard of Bridgerton, I kept thinking they were talking about the name of some place rather than a UK show. Also glad someone finally mentioned how Doctor was just dancing in possibly the most serious situation he's been in. Being in a trap. And not because of arrogance/conidence like how 12 would sometimes act when cornered because he knows he can get out, but out of sheer carelessness followed by panic once the threat of being dropped into another area gets closer
My initial thoughts upon seeing not-captain Jack push Ruby out of the triangle trap: 1. Ok, so why aren't the bird people shoving each other out of the trap with their super strength? 2. Wait, the trigger is in here with them now? Snap not-Captain Jack's neck so he can't push the button!
Because THIS Doctor wants to body surf anyone he meets apparently. Another episode that is constructed like a Who episode but leaves something lacking.
Ruby talks in episode 7 about how she's travelled the universe She's been to... London... Wales... Bath... and London again... separating it out with a derelict spaceship and a foggy planet covered in mines... and a dull city that could have been anywhere on Earth after a weird government change...
...okay, one question - why the hell do they reference Bridgerton so much? I know it's a book series, and has a show on netflix because the books are kinda popular, but is it really such a phenomenon that they'd make multiple references to it in another TV show?
Because it represents the idea of history they wished was the norm. Shows like Bridgerton aren't bad for being historical fantasies. They never pushed the idea of historical accuracy as far as I'm aware. But in this revisionist climate, the insane want it to be the default reference for these historical periods. So they salivate at the idea of promoting it anything like it. They know the upcoming generation will internalize these shows and see anything outside it as r/cist for its lack of diversity. So willing or not, these things are being used for cultural erasure.
The Mocktor doesn't act "queer." He acts like what a less capable Captain Jack would be like with access to the Doctor's technology but not to any of his experiences. He just wants to sleep with anyone and everyone, and he's scared to tears of bloody everything.
Your review shows the differing viewers between Bridgeton which is basically an alternate version of history in which 1800's England is a society which doesn't see colour. But due to its romantic aspect likely isn't aimed at the Doctor who viewer who are used to the Dr going back to actual historical events.
I still don't get how showing his prior forms invalidates the doctor as he could have just been one of the aliens who literally take the identity of others and every one of the doctors iterations vanishes from the timeline after it is done. Wouldn't that incriminate him even more?
To start, let me just say I absolutely LOVE that you are showing gameplay from Stellar Blade as your filler!! "Modern" television/movies have made it abundantly clear that historical accuracy is not important in the least. The is the BBC, the company that brought you a black Anne Bolen, who was historically white.
@@vertigo2894 I... Did... Did I say something is wrong with Bridgerton? 😅 It's definetally not for everyone, I enjoyed the series for what it is personally, but I was just saying the internet service, Netflix being described as a TV Signal being beamed across the stars is funny. You can't even share passwords anymore how did the time traveling alien cosplayers get access to Bridgerton via the cosmic TV signal to then later travel back in time during the era Bridgerton is set in?
BRAVO!!! You nailed it 100%!!! 😁You expressed everything I have thought and felt about this episode (and touched upon my opinions in how it connects to other eps in RTD's run), and then some! Awesome Sauce! 🤩
Yes, Alteori! You hit the nail on the head about certain parts of the world and the mixing of different races. I have lived in South Korea for a year and some change. I'm currently stationed here! What I noticed was that South Korean males do think different race women are attractive and would consider taking them on a date. However, they will never ever marry you or make your relationship official unless you are korean and fall into their mother's beauty standards. But with korean women, they are so down with the mix! Omg, especially with strong black men. Like I can't tell you how many times I've seen a beautiful korean woman locking arms with a tall, masculine American guy in Seoul. Not only that, there are African women (mostly from Cameroon) running hair shops illegally. I would have to look into their laws more, but this lady that used to do my hair had cameras everywhere, and her shop wasn't labeled or showed up on the map down here. She told me that she had been running the shop for 6 years and that they aren't allowed to be official citizens there or have an official business. Thats why they keep moving. I hope people start traveling more so they can get to know more about different cultures and not just think things are what their fantasies tell them its like. Anyways, I love your commentary. ❤🫰🏾😁
7:49 in past seasons, they would commwnt on this by being taught by a legendary dance instructor or practicing in the Versailles Palace. Referencing fun yet uneventful adventures they had for character building.
Pisses me off so much when shows and movies nowadays which have scenes or base the whole work at a certain time period and region have NO historical accuracy...Seems like the only place nowadays where you can actually get an accurate depiction of which time period or area you're in is eastern tv shows and movies because they don't feel the need to add in random ethnicities for the sake of ''equality''...
I don't watch Bridgerton, but I do enjoy Doctor Who (up to the Capaldi run)... but I don't watch Doctor Who to watch Brodgerton, it's like eating fish flavored steak.
I have watched one episode of Bridgerton since I love period dramas like pride and prejudice, sense and sensibility etc. But to me bridgerton felt like what a 13 year old wattpad writer thinks Pride and prejudice is. If people enjoy that, it’s totally fine. But the string quartet versions of modern pop songs completely threw me off, as did the costumes.
Russell T Davies sat in an office and went "Oooh the kids watch Bridgerton, let's make an episode outta that" ... with no thought as to what comes next.
At first it infuriated me how actual professional script writers were trying to change history and people said 'no they're not. Come on man🙄🙄🙄'. I mean, you know for a FACT they're trying to make Jesus black. Now people are waking up to this and I will take what I can get.
Man... And think about all the preimum paint they can sell! Thanks, I hate it lmao, but you're right, no wonder so few people were all that concerned about it... Yummy
Another very important thing that makes the scene ridiculous is that england didn't abolish slavery until 1834. So the idea that a party of the extremely wealthy in 1813 england had wealthy black people is quite the stretch.
England didn't abolish slavery in its colonies until 1834. Slavery in England itself had died out long before then. In 1706 it had been ruled that any black slave brought to England by their master from elsewhere was immediately free.
Wanna know the real reason why River Song worked as a Romantic partner for The Doctor, despite him not wanting to have it? It wasn’t just because she could live long. I personally think it was because it was backwards. When one knew more of the other, the other knew less of the one.
She was a match for him because she was a female 'doctor'. She was always smarter than anyone in the room, she had answers when no one else did, she was his mirror image.... Not human!!!
According to RtD or whoever it’s because they don’t want it to look like a gun like it was with the previous Doctors, that is their quote. Try to make sense out of that.
There are so many problems with current DW but the worst is actually something RTD and co. like to think they’re addressing when in fact they are engaging with in full throttle. That is racism. I fail to see how stupid RTD can be. If you replace people in settings and times where they would not have been, one is denying truth and to do so is to deny suffering and injustice. And the largest group who suffered throughout history I would argue were people of colour. By suggesting black people would have been equally prevalent in the dance halls and manor houses of the wealthy circa early 1800’s is plain silly but worst a disgusting act of revisionism. Do the makers of DW seriously want to have children believe that black people were never treated as second/third/fourth rate citizens? Does the DW team not accept that racists behaviours and attitudes were rife and for centuries. Do the makers of DW think it inappropriate to represent the truth so that future generations can learn from past mistakes. Rewriting history is dangerous and unethical. Is something that should always be avoided. Here, in Australia, after the colonisation and mass murder of the Aboriginal Indigenous people, the narrative of what took place changed dramatically. Children in schools’ read history texts written by white British authors who had not ever stepped foot on the continent. Even in the late 1900’s mistruths were told and today still often are. Thousands alone in the rural area where I live were shot on sight. Over five thousand. Do the masses today know this or even care. Three points Mr. RTD… 1. Do not misrepresent history. 2. Educate with truths not your own ideals or agenda. 3. Teach don’t preach. I would like to add and acknowledge all groups that faced victimisation and degradation throughout history including women, the poor (which basically was the masses), the illiterate, people of certain political, religious and sexual persuasion. Is this important? Yes, but… Do the majority of viewers want such issues in every DW episode and to be shoved in our faces? No. Do we want to change the truth of historical accuracy through deliberate misrepresentation? No. Would we like RTD to ride off into the distance and have him replaced with writers who will write DW as a family show, where adventure and sci-fi content is given priority? Absolutely yes. Is this likely to happen? Sorry folks but we all know that is a rhetorical question.
It's obvious that the writer wanted to do something akin to a romance fanfic and a stuck in an alien element to fit into in Doctor Who. Like those aliens clearly added later in the script process in Demons of the Punjab
I've seen a lot of this reconning of the past. It's amazing. This is why AI thinks everyone was black, even the SS... And this makes people more racist. You should listen to GenAlpha speak, super racist. Thanks wokeness. You erased all the progress we made in the late 90's early 00's.

It's endlessly entertaining and infuriating to see the double think of "England has been the most racist country in the world and reparations are due" as well as "Of course England has always been incredibly multicultural"
Marxists tactics
It's pretty schizophrenic ain't It? If you are going to push a narrative just stick to one.
Motte and Bailey
I mean they say the same thing about the good ol american "melting pot"
Both are true. England has always been an extremely racist country while also having many people from different backgrounds as part of it's empire, it's really not a hard thing to understand.
England litrally enforced it's religion, culture etc on it's colonies via genocide etc. And wealthy POC from the empire would have been very commonplace mixing in higher society in England, as class is what Britain enforced most of it's beliefs on.
Also look up the Battle of Bamber Bridge (1943) for how the US tried to import it's anti-black racism and segregation to the UK - the local people accepted and stood with the black soldiers against the white soldiers - the people of Bamber Bridge not only supported the black troops, and when US commanders demanded a colour bar in the town, all three pubs in the town posted "Black Troops Only" signs. - These event even led to the desegregation of the US army.

I think they are agreeing with you. The writers are lazy, incompetent and fell asleep during any history class they may have taken.
@pleasegoawaydude Show evidence of anyone in England in the 1800's with side shaved hairstyles.
@@BackUp-nx2delook at some of the period photos from the American West. It's not common, but it does show up enough to get noticed. Usually the hair on top is much longer than a modern fade, but it's the same basic haircut.
It didn't become a common hair cut until gas became a recurrent threat during WW1.
It lost popularity until it became an entire generation of men's first adult haircut in 1941.
Due to the wigs for 1700's England many men (and women) had a kind of "Marine Cut" with just enough hair on their scalp to pad against their wigs
Funny how we got racism on a futuristic planet in the previous episode while in 1813 England it's all good mate

It's like the writers and producers are trying to rewrite history regarding England's racist past.
@@americansupervillain4595 Saying most people in Enlgland were white at that time is as racist as saying most people in japan were japanese. What are you on about? The fact travel was more difficult a couple centuries back, therefore societies were more homogenous doesn't make it racist lol
Was literally about to type this. 😅
Abit stupid to do the ‘racism’ episode in the future where theoretically all/ most species and races are friendly and mixed together. Xenophobia would’ve made more sense.
But the past where it would’ve made sense they ignored it. The Dr could’ve played a waiter for example, telling the girl how to act, discreetly. But he gets told off for talking to a white woman.
But also they're not racist and half the aristocracy is apparently black, but they are homophobic and this breaks their 'immersion' of what the past is supposed to be.
People are noticing a pattern. The Doctor shows up, he barely does anything (or even disappears for most of the episode), other characters start dying around him, the Doctor gets anxiety, someone/something else saves the day (usually through sacrifice), and the Doctor cries. Sound about right?
Well with the final episode with the greatest threat the doctor has seen the pantheon of discord. There is only one question to ask. How much is the doctor going to cry, and whose really going to save the day?
Not even remotely, what are you talking about?
That sums up my take on the new Doctor quite well. He doesn't act like the Doctor at all most of the time. You'd never think he was a brilliant, brave, and sometimes intimidating thousands of years old alien, who normally takes charge and personally saves the day.
Remember when Doctor didn't get into relationships with humans because in comparison to him they had such short life spans? No? Writers didnt neither.
I believe his actual comparison was that of a human dating a dog. Missy made much the same comparison. So basically, the modern doctor is into beast-alty.
it would be like p3d0philia. The Doctor is over 2000, and that guy is what 30? That the equivalent of Harvey Weinstein and, oh i dunno, name a hollywood actress in her teens.
Then again, this IS a gay Doctor. And we all know they are pro...that. "We're cumming for your children, gonna corrupt them bit by bit." *cringes*
Yeah, that went out the window a long time ago when they made damn near every companion have the hots for him.
he got engaged in the 6th hartnell story so I guess we’re remembering something that was over 60 years ago
The main reason this doctor is so horrible is because of how watered down and human they are making him. He isn’t something greater than us any more. He’s getting into relationships, constantly crying, and struggling to figure out basic solutions until the very end of each episode. He’s no longer a unique alien here to help us because he can barely even help himself. He’s being written like a side character rather than someone containing knowledge beyond anything we know.
I don’t know how this show just keeps continuing to disappoint- but it’s reaching a point of physical pain, man…
It has been a plot point in three episodes, nearly in a row, that he doesn't watch where he steps and steps on bad things he pretty much can't deal with. It was the entire central plot of two of those episodes. He's a clown.
every time i mention this people say it's toxic that i dislike the doctor crying so much, cause it shows that he's emotionally healthy and 'healed'. apparently they, nor RTD seem to understand that you can be emotionally healed AND not cry every episode! the doctor is never the smartest in the room anymore, he waits for the plot to happen, cries about it, then is saved by coincidence or someone else. it's character assassination
They removed Morals. Just like in star trek, star wars and all the others. Because they have none.
He may be stupid, and sure... he cries a lot... but this is great representation for the writers. Finally, they can see themselves on screen as an overly emotional, unintelligent, over-the-top gay black man who goes on whimsical adventures all across a historically diverse England that's hand crafted for a modern audience.
It's so jarring that the doctor was head over heels for this random bounty hunter in less than what? An hour? Compared to every other point in the past where someone may have show interest in him. It took how long for him to get that close with the original Rose? Not to mention River?
Yeah and he left Rose with the clone that would grow old and die with her, because he could never do that, he would outlive her for millenia and more.
Yeah, but now the Doctor isn't constrained by his cripling straightness, he can just fall in love with anyone at the drop of a hat ....... or something. LOL. Or are they making some terribly stereotyped statement about gay people? Who the hell knows? This is just how Doctor Who is now. LOL
Also Yaz (one of the 13th doctors companions) doesn't even get a kiss or any affection 💀💀💀
Bounty hunter or Booty hunter. Cause that's how they played this out.
17:22 There was a time when someone said “I think you and I should step outside” it meant that they wanted to beat you up.
Was that time...oh...around the year 1813? 🤔
It could have been taken that way 😂
I’m giggling now imaging a scenario where a guy gets told this and goes out expecting to fight and instead the other person comes on to them. Cue confused reactions. 😂😂😂
There's a time it didn't mean they wanted to beat you up?
Either that or (given the time this thing is set in) they'd draw swords...
The dotor used to be about wanting to share the wonders of the universe with his companions.
Sure, they often ended up in problems he needed to solve because of it.
But he wasn't constantly trying to get laid, and he wasnt stupid.
"Guys, let's make our first black AND gay Doctor the horniest, most emotionally fragile, and dumbest in the whole series! That'll show those bigots!"
Indira Varma the same actress as played Ellaria Sand, from game of Thrones, which is why they look similar.
Naturally a half Indian Duchess in Bath in 1813 is perfectly normal, because even England's greatest physicist Sir Isaac Newton was half Indian too.
At least according to RTD Doctor Who reality.
Why would an actor appear? in two different things?? playing two entirely different characters??? That's just daft lmao.
@@JontyLevine I know, but the cute chibbi animal in the video said they thought she looked like said character form game of thrones, and later called them "budget Lady Martell." I was merely saying its the same actress.
Ah yes. The episode where the doctor tries to get lucky and leaves his companion to die
The same guy who, in the past, risked his life to save those around him countless times and had no care for sexuality or being superior.
'When you're trying to be inclusive, you're actually being extremely insulting', so, like every other time they do it?
Since actions speak louder than words, they act what they believe.

What is the insult?
Or, to put it more simply, "I think not being racist is the new racism." (Jeff Winger; Community)
@@Krendall2yeaaaa to me, there’s “prejudice” which is hate against race…and then there’s (there’s no term for this, I think, so I’m making it up) “PRO-racism” which is overwhelming adoration and love for a certain race.
But…both of these still fall under “Racism”
I was so distracted by the fact nobody noticed the Doctor pull out his "sonic screwdriver" i didn't think until now why he pulled it out
He pointed it at the guy, it gave a signal, and when he went up and spoke to him he immediately assumed he was getting laid
...was it a gaydar... did the Doctor install Gaydar on his sonic screwdriver?...
I wouldn't be surprised at this point. What we consider too stupid to put on tv these writers deem comedic genius.
This episode is based on the British show "Bridgeton", which is historically very inaccurate.
It's a real thing? O fuck 😂
"This inaccurate fictional TV show also made by this company is wrong, therefore the show about going actually back in time gets to wrongly present history becaue an intentionally inaccurate show they're parodying exists"
Yeah, that makes sense. Good job with that totally logical and sensible explanation. Can The Doctor go into the Birth of a Nation timeline too? What other propaganda gets to be 'real history' in this show's universe since that's the mechanic you think makes sense. Can he go to Britain as portrayed by the Nazis during the war and the Nazi presentation is actually now really what happened? Maybe go to the US as presented by Soviet propaganda?
@@chucklebouf5379iam a tad bit confused, my friend, are you supporting or contrasting the og commenters argument?
@@chucklebouf5379 Probably? We see constantly in Doctor Who that time is in flux, how events in the past can change the future as we know, like in The Devil's Chord. So I think it's completely possible that the Doctor could end up in those situations, and it would be up to him to fix the timeline.
But then why not say the aliens have recreated Bridgeton like scenes.
I like the Sonic "screwdriver" he has... sorry, I mean the TV remote that gets lost in the couch easily.
I miss River. That was a great relationship for the doctor
Hell I'll take the lady he fell in love with when he turned himself human that one episode.
I feel like River would be jealous, because the doctor seems to do a lot more flirting with Rouge than he ever did with her.
Yeah, me too. Her chemistry with Tenant, Smith, and Capaldi was great.
@@MamaMOB hell i’d rather take “SEXY” then this
The thing is, he had episodes of not knowing or not even being with her or wanting to.
The Doctor falling in love...fine.
But to be all in on someone while ignoring the dangers happening around is just no.
Last time the Doctor fell in love it took a cloone and a univer ending threat ("bad wolf" remember).😂
@samueldiaz9084 "I think you need a Doctor."
I think the joke is they ended up in a canon Bridgerton universe (Bridgerton takes place in this time period but makes it unrealistically diverse and whimsical for entertainment value and preaching equality) which is why they threw out historical accuracy for this episode, but good god this whole concept for a DW episode is horrid.
Its because the BBC are incredibly racist and seem to feel that making English history less white is a virtuous act. Steven Moffat actually said "Its a BETTER history" and that by imagining it they were summoning it forth.
"which is why they threw out historical accuracy for this episode"
Doctor Who doesn't need explanations like this to waive away stupidity. The show is stupid. Take Thin Ice where the Doctor shows a more diverse London to Bill and when she asks why its more diverse than she was told in school the Doctor suggests white people have kept it quiet. No. Moffat admitted outside the episode that he wanted to "show the world how he wanted it to be" i.e diverse and blaming the white man.
Here is the same thing. We have an exploration of a stereotype AS historical truth. Do you think 10 year olds watching this show can separate the myth from the truth? No, they cannot. They grow up and remember this - and go on to think this how it it was.
Stop excusing historical inaccuracy for ideological reasons by referencing their use of another ideologically compromised property. This is not 'the joke' this is the expressed desires of the show runners both past and present to misrepresent the past for the sake of indoctrinating their historically ignorant (and more specifically younger/impressionable and thus vulnerable audience) with their worldview. It is a morally compromised product to its core and it would do you well to recognise that distinctly uncomfortable truth, if you truly wish to be addressing the world honestly.
The BBC quite literally cannot make anything else. They put their own rules in place that prevent them from making the past of their own country accurately. I am not even joking, they have demographic quotas that basically say 'nothing can be too white'. They could portray an african village as 100% african but they cannot show a viking village as it was because of their own rules. That's why in the last episode everyone was so obviously gay, or trans or bi, or a woman, because all of those demographics 'count' and the episode has to be filled with them because they were adamant about it being an all-white society which they cannot otherwise do unless half+ of those white people tick some other box for gender, sexuality or what-have-you.
historical accuracy was already out, did we just forget indian man Newton?
It just occurred to me that Rogue has a space gun. He wanted to kill them in the first place, why didnt he just shoot them now that they're trapped, and then let Ruby free

Episode set in the future: Racisim is a problem.
Episode set in the Past: Diversty is our strength.
Wot?
Have to lie, to say that we suddenly had a problem with things... almost like it's our race that is the problem.
Whoever said 'diversity is our strength' in this episode? It involves time travelling so not every episode involving time travelling can be about rce. Also, people who mock ;diversity is our strength' are almost always rct.
But it is exactly how they perceive the reality. They replaced history, at least in their heads. But the reality, this very world you and me live in according to them is unbearably bigoted. They are angry at us for being so, for refusing to change according to how it has to be in their perfect reality.
These shows are their ways of passive aggression. Is this really a dr who? No, it is a very bitter and angry old many trapped in his troubled mind attempting to project his resentments on the rest of us. Why are you so cold, why are you so hurtful, he asks as through his script. It could be a cry of help, if the man who needs it was ready to admit it. he does not want to. You all are wrong. Remember racist future episode? That is not the future, that is us. That is us choosing to live in danger every day rather than be next to him.
And I swear, if people understood RTD and his thoughts, they would probably not watch this show at all.

Being able to cry on cue is a great talent.. in moderation.. like Dean Winchester in SUPERNATURAL.. but this dude is just ridiculous. Women and children don’t even cry this much!!
It is because he is not playing a doctor. He is playing emotional Ncuti Gatwa. RTD found an actor by his heart, to watch him dance and sing. And he is, he is dancing, he is singing.

I love how we had none of this when the Doctor was female. You know, when it actually made sense for the Doctor to be gay because we had seen so many years of the Doctor being attracted to women regardless of the incarnation. Where was all of this representation energy back then?
We didn't see it because loads of straight white dudes think two attractive lesbians is hot, and of course the BBC doesn't want to make straight white dudes happy.
Good question. Doubt they have a satisfactory answer.
i’ve been watching doctor who for 17 years and i deadass prefer 13th to 14 which makes me sad seeing how downhill this show has gone
A few years ago, about halfway through Jodie Whitaker’s second season, out of complete desperation, I tweeted a message to Russel T. Davies. It read, “Dear Mr Davies, please save the Doctor.” I should have just kept my big dumb mouth shut…
Should’ve tweeted to Steven Moffat
In one discussion I finally got the semi-reasonable answer why some people like this, I quote: "the writing this season has been pretty good for those of us who want the same fun trips that we got to watch back when we were kids. A+ season for sure". In other words, the kids who can't see deeper than surface level of characters still like it. It reminds them of thoughtless childhood. That's mind-boggling for me, but at least I can understand that ignorance. Like with some comedies that are hilarious with the logic switched off, but also feel absurd if you start to think...
Even as a kid I wouldn't watch this show. This show isn't entertaining in the least.
@@BlazeGamerZX Yeah, me too. I guess for them it's sort of mix of nostalgia and remembering good feelings from actually good seasons)

Fifteen: *needs to differentiate himself from the other shapeshifters*
Also Fifteen: *shows Rogue all of the faces he’s had, faces which mean nothing to him and only confirm that the Doctor **_is_** a shapeshifter*
Also, do Time Lords now store images of their previous incarnations inside them? I could understand the _Atraxi_ displaying his faces because they would’ve scanned the Doctor’s biology and matched it to UNIT’s records, but Rogue’s ship doesn’t _have_ anything like that.
When I was watching the episode and Rogue "arrested" the Doctor my first thought was the Doctor could just tell him to do a medical scan, the two hearts alone would clear him as not being one of the bird people and if they wanted him to be flirty they could do the flirting while they do the scans. Also I know the some Doctors don't like killing if they can avoid it, but when Ruby was on the trap they could have just knocked out the birds then turned the trap off then send them off. Rogue had a laser gun, it probably has a stun setting as that is something that has been shown before, or the Doctor could have modified it with his sonic screwdriver to be non lethal. Give each bird a knock out zap, get Ruby to safety, then send the birds off. This Doctor is not at all clever, he likes to make his own problems and then cry over them.
I mean, he kinda did something similar with Captain Jack in the Empty Child episodes, so ... no clue why they couldn't do that here. Or do the writers think gay black guys aren't as smart as white guys? I ... don't think that's quite the message they wanted to convey so ...
Honestly, Ruby is the only one that made this episode tolerable for me. I always hated the “fallen in love at first sight and moving too fast” trope; ironic that it’s a Disney show and Frozen and Enchanted poke fun of that trope, the 1800s are more racially accepting in their fancy parties, and furries will cosplay the world to death. To makes this episode more worse looking back, how Alteori made me see the Doctor look like a predator now 💀
Im pretty sure i heard that rouge was Kristoff. So hes literally the one telling anna off about falling in love at first sight.
And then another of his characters falls in love in the first hour with crybaby here. I cant even call him the doctor as he does nothing that makes him 'The Doctor'.
Cringe is the only word that can be used to describe this doctor and series.
Oh sweetie I can think of a whole load more 😶
"The WORST Doctor Who Episode"
I have not sat through 4 Parts of the Toymaker one, 6 Parts of Space Pirates, 4 Parts of Power of Kroll, 45 Minutes of "The Care Taker" and Series 7b to see somebody claim this Episode is the worst. It's okay, dare I say decent at best. Like if you are serious with claiming "Man this had to be one of the most painful things I have watched." then man I am jealous truly, because this is not even the worst of this Series of Who, let alone this new era.
This episode is a PRIME example of how terrible the writing is on so many levels! The main problem with RTD's Mocktor 'Ho, is that it sets-up rules and stakes, then completely breaks its own rules and discards any attempts at stakes willy-nilly, for no real reasoning behind any of it!

Jonathan Groff is NOT Shooty Twatwa's boyfriend, thankfully. Groffy has been with Corey Blake since 2018.
Other ahistorical elements include:
"Wallflower" being used to describe a woman who can't attract attention at a party. The first literary use was recorded in 1820.
"Okay" was not invented as a word until US President Martin Van Buren tried to make "Oll Korrect" (posh slang for "good" at the time) a thing in his failed 1840 reelection campaign, using the slogan "Martin van Buren is OK". Van Buren lost, but the word stuck.
Kneeling to propose marriage (never mind that it's an interracial gay relationship, which was literally a DOUBLE crime in 1813 England) didn't become a thing until the Victorian Era, which is 20+ years later than this. Yes, medieval knights knelt to PLEDGE LOYALTY, but that's not proposing marriage. It's where the proposal idea came from, but it wasn't happening in 1813.
There is one phrase that RTD and the rest of his production team have followed like a religion for this season....

You might be able to step out of your shoes you might get lucky and have the remote roll out of dead guys and towards you. you might wound him, and threaten a killing blow unless released, you might be able to throw tings willy nilly til you hit the right button... plenty of options!
@@CasualObserver68 alot of MIGHTS in there, none of which are guaranteed to be there
5:30 Note: “Asian” in British demographics generally means Indian Subcontinent origin, not East Asian like in the US
Yeah I figured so. People forget that India is part of Asia 😅
I want to tell fans of this DW to go wayyy back and watch episodes like The Empty Child, The Waters of Mars, Silence in the Library, Vincent and the Doctor, and The Doctor's Wife. And then watch the newest episodes again to get complete quality and tonal whiplash.
I've seen clip of the older episodes. The pit, the clockwork robots, and even some of the original series. Nothing this season has done could even compare to what has been done before.
Love and monsters was better then this season
10:07 some would say something to the effect of “witches were hanged, not burned”.
But me I have yet to receive an answer for why accuracy is important for that detail?
They do know that our TV Signals would take multiple decades to reach any neighboring system? Oh why am I even asking...
47:25, swear you can hear tapping, like this little foxy is setting up 'lines' or something
Alteori chopping up TUMS, "I SWEAR TO CTHULU!! THIS SHOW WILL BE THE DEATH OF ME! *snooort snoort snort*"
They made up a silly sci-fi setting to do the racism stuff and don't use the actual time period episode where it would have made way more sense and fit.
Also could you imagine the Doctor acting this way towards Rose or River he'd be called a pushy creep the double standards because he's gay now is infuriating.
I was wondering why they even partnered the first gay doctor with a woman companion
EXACTLY!
Well they have pushed that he was ALWAYS gay so.. Captain Jack really missed out.
@@justinhammer3196so they are going to bring back Captain Jack?
@@Tallacus This new character seems to be Captain Jack in every way but name tbh. But I would be okay if the real Captain came back.
Because she’s White and he’s Black.
How... how does the Doctor get so easily captured... how. 23:30 I believe it's at, but just... what? And the "dance" he does... I just hate it.
Did anyone else know the game in the background was steller blade off the way the NPC boobs looked like, before the main character even showed her face?
You know where this will end up if the show doesn't get cancelled soon.
They're going to finally use the Valeyard. And despite how much we've wanted the Valeyard for decades, they'll do it in the worst possible way. They'll use David to play a him so that they can kill him off as an F U to anyone that still likes any White Doctors or any Old Continuity. It'll be the symbolic murder of the franchise, once it's as low as we think it could get.
But they retconned it because the valyard was promised all of the doctors remaining regenerations...no longer a thing as he has infinite regens..
This is gonna be a worse low then when there was the long break of Doctor Who for years
Drinking game : 44:50 , Every time something stupid append you do one of the following:
- Fill a shot
- Drink a shot
- Try to foreshadow what'll happens next, if you're wrong 2 shots for you !
PSA : Do **not** do that, you probably end up being drunk and completely wasted.
I remember a school trip to Austria back in the 70s we went to a local outdoor pool. The kids were staring at the black kids, teacher said that they had never seen a black.
Point being 1800 england apart from major cities there were very few blacks. And definitely none in the upper classes.
Ps
Why does the dr. Wear wigs? Suddenly wears outfits that fit the time.
So you like that do you? There were dark South Asians in England with money back then.
@vertigo2894 did I say like? Pointing out a fact. And why does a very small number of Asians with money at the time correspond to people not seeing many blacks outside major cities? In the 1970s ?
@@Rhinoskin62 Are you aware that history isn't so streamlined? King Henry was had a blk musician given backpay and even gave him a gift for his wedding lol! Besides, Doctor Who is a fantasy show, not a documentary. If skin colour bothers you that much then I don't know what to tell you. They have to do some time travel, it can't always focus on rce.
@vertigo2894 you don't understand the back ground to the Dr. The BBC wanted it to be historically correct aimed at children. And it's never been a fantasy show, only Disney who don't understand it wanted fantasy.
As for history the numbers were less than .01none in socal standing unless placed there as servants and curiosity because of the standing of the land owner.
As for that period out of a population of 10 million there were around 20 thousand blacks, not any other democratic. In London and other cities.
If any thing the numbers didn't increase untill the 20th century and this was mainly Indian for working in textile.
For context mixed relationships were Frowned on up to the 70s and of course the Infamous no blacks, Irish or dogs on boarding houses.
As soeeone who has never heard of Bridgerton, I kept thinking they were talking about the name of some place rather than a UK show.
Also glad someone finally mentioned how Doctor was just dancing in possibly the most serious situation he's been in. Being in a trap. And not because of arrogance/conidence like how 12 would sometimes act when cornered because he knows he can get out, but out of sheer carelessness followed by panic once the threat of being dropped into another area gets closer
I am shocked they did not write in an among us joke to go with cosplay
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What was the worst thing to happen to Dr Who? It became a Disney show.
I think RTD broke @Alteori 's suspension of disbelief.
My initial thoughts upon seeing not-captain Jack push Ruby out of the triangle trap:
1. Ok, so why aren't the bird people shoving each other out of the trap with their super strength?
2. Wait, the trigger is in here with them now? Snap not-Captain Jack's neck so he can't push the button!
Because THIS Doctor wants to body surf anyone he meets apparently. Another episode that is constructed like a Who episode but leaves something lacking.
It's like the writer hates the franchise and is trying to kill it off.
Of course it's the black gay Doctor who does so and not any of the previous ones. Way to stereotype, modern writers. 👍
He's a 304
Ruby talks in episode 7 about how she's travelled the universe
She's been to... London... Wales... Bath... and London again... separating it out with a derelict spaceship and a foggy planet covered in mines... and a dull city that could have been anywhere on Earth after a weird government change...
...okay, one question - why the hell do they reference Bridgerton so much? I know it's a book series, and has a show on netflix because the books are kinda popular, but is it really such a phenomenon that they'd make multiple references to it in another TV show?
I think the BBC has a stake in it probably.
Because it represents the idea of history they wished was the norm. Shows like Bridgerton aren't bad for being historical fantasies. They never pushed the idea of historical accuracy as far as I'm aware. But in this revisionist climate, the insane want it to be the default reference for these historical periods. So they salivate at the idea of promoting it anything like it.
They know the upcoming generation will internalize these shows and see anything outside it as r/cist for its lack of diversity. So willing or not, these things are being used for cultural erasure.
Mainly because they really want the audience to make the association with something else popular.
The Mocktor doesn't act "queer." He acts like what a less capable Captain Jack would be like with access to the Doctor's technology but not to any of his experiences. He just wants to sleep with anyone and everyone, and he's scared to tears of bloody everything.
Your review shows the differing viewers between Bridgeton which is basically an alternate version of history in which 1800's England is a society which doesn't see colour. But due to its romantic aspect likely isn't aimed at the Doctor who viewer who are used to the Dr going back to actual historical events.
"annoying'... that's the word that comes to my mind in most of the scenes in this episode.
It is utterly annoying.
I still don't get how showing his prior forms invalidates the doctor as he could have just been one of the aliens who literally take the identity of others and every one of the doctors iterations vanishes from the timeline after it is done. Wouldn't that incriminate him even more?
I swear, it feels like that instant ability skill sounds like the show Chuck...
To start, let me just say I absolutely LOVE that you are showing gameplay from Stellar Blade as your filler!! "Modern" television/movies have made it abundantly clear that historical accuracy is not important in the least. The is the BBC, the company that brought you a black Anne Bolen, who was historically white.
>Netflix original, Bridgerton
>Internet Streaming Service
>TV Signal beaming across the stars
Are the TV Signals being beamed Internet wifi? 😳
What's the problem? A fantasy show can't contain blk people?
Good point!
What is wrong with Bridgerton?
@@vertigo2894 I... Did... Did I say something is wrong with Bridgerton? 😅 It's definetally not for everyone, I enjoyed the series for what it is personally, but I was just saying the internet service, Netflix being described as a TV Signal being beamed across the stars is funny.
You can't even share passwords anymore how did the time traveling alien cosplayers get access to Bridgerton via the cosmic TV signal to then later travel back in time during the era Bridgerton is set in?
"I can't do this..."
I appreciate you so much. I'm entertained.
But I get the frustration. I can't stand stupid writing or lazy storytelling either.
BRAVO!!! You nailed it 100%!!! 😁You expressed everything I have thought and felt about this episode (and touched upon my opinions in how it connects to other eps in RTD's run), and then some! Awesome Sauce! 🤩
Yes, Alteori! You hit the nail on the head about certain parts of the world and the mixing of different races. I have lived in South Korea for a year and some change. I'm currently stationed here! What I noticed was that South Korean males do think different race women are attractive and would consider taking them on a date. However, they will never ever marry you or make your relationship official unless you are korean and fall into their mother's beauty standards. But with korean women, they are so down with the mix! Omg, especially with strong black men. Like I can't tell you how many times I've seen a beautiful korean woman locking arms with a tall, masculine American guy in Seoul. Not only that, there are African women (mostly from Cameroon) running hair shops illegally. I would have to look into their laws more, but this lady that used to do my hair had cameras everywhere, and her shop wasn't labeled or showed up on the map down here. She told me that she had been running the shop for 6 years and that they aren't allowed to be official citizens there or have an official business. Thats why they keep moving. I hope people start traveling more so they can get to know more about different cultures and not just think things are what their fantasies tell them its like. Anyways, I love your commentary. ❤🫰🏾😁
7:49 in past seasons, they would commwnt on this by being taught by a legendary dance instructor or practicing in the Versailles Palace. Referencing fun yet uneventful adventures they had for character building.
Pisses me off so much when shows and movies nowadays which have scenes or base the whole work at a certain time period and region have NO historical accuracy...Seems like the only place nowadays where you can actually get an accurate depiction of which time period or area you're in is eastern tv shows and movies because they don't feel the need to add in random ethnicities for the sake of ''equality''...
Hearing the glass in the background killed me. "wow she's actually drinking to make it through this one. It's not a joke"
I don't watch Bridgerton, but I do enjoy Doctor Who (up to the Capaldi run)... but I don't watch Doctor Who to watch Brodgerton, it's like eating fish flavored steak.
I have watched one episode of Bridgerton since I love period dramas like pride and prejudice, sense and sensibility etc. But to me bridgerton felt like what a 13 year old wattpad writer thinks Pride and prejudice is. If people enjoy that, it’s totally fine. But the string quartet versions of modern pop songs completely threw me off, as did the costumes.
Russell T Davies sat in an office and went "Oooh the kids watch Bridgerton, let's make an episode outta that" ... with no thought as to what comes next.
Having seen Disparu's roast reviews, I'd say the next episode is worse.
18:45 “You shouldn’t have listened to me!” That hit hard. Too real.
At first it infuriated me how actual professional script writers were trying to change history and people said 'no they're not. Come on man🙄🙄🙄'. I mean, you know for a FACT they're trying to make Jesus black. Now people are waking up to this and I will take what I can get.
Jesus was a middle-eastern man, you insane southern hick.
Middle eastern not Black. @@pleasegoawaydude
At most Jesus is a deep tan but black as if he was from Africa or the Caribbean? That's like saying Cleopatra was black.
It's a fantasy show. You prefer the rct fantasy shows?
The Aliens are mummifying those People? According to those historic Brits, that's some serious Gourmet Sh**😂
Man... And think about all the preimum paint they can sell!
Thanks, I hate it lmao, but you're right, no wonder so few people were all that concerned about it... Yummy
Another very important thing that makes the scene ridiculous is that england didn't abolish slavery until 1834. So the idea that a party of the extremely wealthy in 1813 england had wealthy black people is quite the stretch.
England didn't abolish slavery in its colonies until 1834. Slavery in England itself had died out long before then. In 1706 it had been ruled that any black slave brought to England by their master from elsewhere was immediately free.
Wanna know the real reason why River Song worked as a Romantic partner for The Doctor, despite him not wanting to have it?
It wasn’t just because she could live long.
I personally think it was because it was backwards. When one knew more of the other, the other knew less of the one.
She was a match for him because she was a female 'doctor'.
She was always smarter than anyone in the room, she had answers when no one else did, she was his mirror image....
Not human!!!
why is the sonic screw driver a tv remote?
According to RtD or whoever it’s because they don’t want it to look like a gun like it was with the previous Doctors, that is their quote. Try to make sense out of that.
Oh God... I didn't know sharktopus existed. I can't stop laughing at the name and I have to watch it.
I think I did a review on it lol
@Alteori gonna seach for it. I found your channel bc of the b movies reviews and I love watching them. But I do understand how infuriating they are. 😅
There are so many problems with current DW but the worst is actually something RTD and co. like to think they’re addressing when in fact they are engaging with in full throttle. That is racism.
I fail to see how stupid RTD can be. If you replace people in settings and times where they would not have been, one is denying truth and to do so is to deny suffering and injustice. And the largest group who suffered throughout history I would argue were people of colour. By suggesting black people would have been equally prevalent in the dance halls and manor houses of the wealthy circa early 1800’s is plain silly but worst a disgusting act of revisionism. Do the makers of DW seriously want to have children believe that black people were never treated as second/third/fourth rate citizens? Does the DW team not accept that racists behaviours and attitudes were rife and for centuries. Do the makers of DW think it inappropriate to represent the truth so that future generations can learn from past mistakes.
Rewriting history is dangerous and unethical. Is something that should always be avoided. Here, in Australia, after the colonisation and mass murder of the Aboriginal Indigenous people, the narrative of what took place changed dramatically. Children in schools’ read history texts written by white British authors who had not ever stepped foot on the continent. Even in the late 1900’s mistruths were told and today still often are. Thousands alone in the rural area where I live were shot on sight. Over five thousand. Do the masses today know this or even care. Three points Mr. RTD…
1. Do not misrepresent history.
2. Educate with truths not your own ideals or agenda.
3. Teach don’t preach.
I would like to add and acknowledge all groups that faced victimisation and degradation throughout history including women, the poor (which basically was the masses), the illiterate, people of certain political, religious and sexual persuasion. Is this important? Yes, but…
Do the majority of viewers want such issues in every DW episode and to be shoved in our faces? No. Do we want to change the truth of historical accuracy through deliberate misrepresentation? No. Would we like RTD to ride off into the distance and have him replaced with writers who will write DW as a family show, where adventure and sci-fi content is given priority? Absolutely yes. Is this likely to happen? Sorry folks but we all know that is a rhetorical question.
Excellent comment 💪🇬🇧
@@MKR5210 You are very kind. Thank you.
It's obvious that the writer wanted to do something akin to a romance fanfic and a stuck in an alien element to fit into in Doctor Who. Like those aliens clearly added later in the script process in Demons of the Punjab
I've seen a lot of this reconning of the past. It's amazing. This is why AI thinks everyone was black, even the SS... And this makes people more racist. You should listen to GenAlpha speak, super racist. Thanks wokeness. You erased all the progress we made in the late 90's early 00's.
Farces don't last
At 56:00, my mind immediately went towards that "Montage" song from Team America.
