I think that some folks should do a rewatch and and may not find this era so objectionable. Remember there was so much smoke on social media when these episodes were broadcast and it was hard to escape the voices of discontent. Jodie being the first female Doctor, the diversity of the cast and their acting experience. After a few years drowning that out I think you’ll find the show and Jodie being as good as any other era. Even watching this reaction I have to admit that Jodie is in every way The Doctor. I would’ve loved her to have been under Moffat because I think he would’ve really brought out the magic of the character.
I'm very happy you liked this opener. So do I. Somehow, the 13th Doctor remember me a bit of the 7th, McCoy. Behind the joyful appearance, there's a mystical depth and their brain keeps working 24/7. Thanks for a great channel 🌞
The Thirteenth Doctor got off to a brilliant start with this one. You're totally right about how well Chris Chibnall wrote the human characters in this - we hit the ground running with very realistic grounded people.
glad to see you're enjoying the thirteenth doctor i got to see some filming going on as i'm based in sheffield, the actors had some pretty good chemistry
Your approach to the show is so cool, so many fans are resistant to changes but i love how you embrace it. This era is far from perfect imo but theres a lot to appreciate if you keep an open mind and allow yourself to enjoy it.
I have a really high appreciation for jodies era I think its very underrated, its very different from the rest of doctor who but I think its a breath of fresh air honestly The cinematography alone is breathtaking and it has some really good episodes and might I say some of the best episodes in my opinion
@@HamzaReactz its obviously not all amazing but its on a very similar quality from other eras like there are some ABSOLUTELY BANGERS in this era which I’m very excited to see you react to
I liked the quiet moments during Chibnall's run. In this episode, Ryan's video diary at the end, their chat after the funeral. There is less blaring soundtrack music telling us how to feel.
I loved Jodie's Doctor. I really enjoyed her era. The pandemic wreaked havoc, but I thought they did well within the restrictions. It can't have been easy to run the show under those circumstances. I think we all were upset that they killed off Grace. She was a great character. Chibnall's Broadchurch is one of my favorite series, particularly the first season.
I really appreciate your positivity and openness Hamza. You going into a new era of Doctor Who without any preconceived notions or prejudices is very impressive. Plus, whilst my favorite Doctor is whichever Doctor I am currently viewing, it warms my heart that you consider Peter Capaldi your favorite Doctor. His story arc from initially needing flash cards to show empathy to imploring his next regeneration be kind...sniffle...great stuff. I look forward to being a small part of your journey. Cheers!
"He gets people." So true! I also really loved how the "Coming soon" of this series didn't have any Daleks, Cybermen or any monsters, just a series of great actors to look forward to.
@@chanceneck8072 it’s honestly weird because nobody in Huddersfield has a strong accent, if much of one at all. It’s more dialect than accent, but Jodie is right in the outskirts (rastrick iirc)
Yeah Jodie Whittakers from Huddersfield in real life. Technically a version of the intro music (since you seen the end credits for the episode, not a spoiler to say its the intro theme) plays when the Whittaker Doctor crashes into the train but yeah the pacing of the episode is so good, most don't realise the titles weren't there until the credits roll.
I'm glad your having a good time with this. 😊 This was the highest rated out of the whole previous post-regeneration stories so far. This is the first time since 1982 from the Fifth Doctor (Peter Davison) era where the Doctor has 3 main companions it was kind of expected Grace wouldn't have joining but we didn't expect her to be killed off either we thought she end up becoming a recurring character like Jackie and Mickey or Syliva and Wilfred but i think having 4 companions would have been too crowded. While the show is set in Sheffield Jodie Whittaker herself is from Yorkshire. This is also the second time in NuWho that the TARDIS does not feature in this episode since the last episode "Midnight".
Jodie's performance is fantastic - i personally didn't like some of the story lines in her series, but i thought SHE was fantastic as the Doctor! I think you'll love her too :)
It was pretty ok/good yeah. Some minor aspects looked a bit like forced Eleventh Hour ripoff tho. Overall feel like its main issue is that some cool aspects were not explored more
I wish they kept Bill & Nordole around for an episode of two just as a bridge to the new Doctor. I think this is going to be another case where this era will be more appreciated years from now.
Yeah I really liked Jodie's Doctor from the start and she soon became one of my favourite Doctors alongside 5,7 & 11. And also this does seem like a breath of fresh air as much as I liked both RTD and Moffett's eras. It has a real classic vibe to it.
It's awesome to see you genuinely enjoying this era already and I agree with you! This era also brings Doctor Who back to it's roots a little bit with a whole team of companions and as you'll see the historicals, which I love! The title of this episode hits even harder when you realise it is a double meaning 😢
I really loved this episode when it first aired, as well as the second episode. I am surprised how much you liked it, I didn't think you would be as enthusiastic about it as you were, but that's cool. I wasn't the biggest fan of Jodie's run on first airing, and chibbs is a very different type of showrunner to Moffat and RTD, he rarely gave interviews or shared his thought process, and he kept literally everything so tightly under wraps in regards to spoilers that it just ended up frustrating people. But since leaving the show, he has shared a lot more about how he went about things and also the struggles his era had because of covid and other things, and it made me appreciate it a lot more, and realise that he and the crew really did care for the show. Very interested to see how you react to the rest of Jodies era.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen this episode, but from watching this I remember quite a few moments that I really like. I think Jodie is pretty good here, and the scenes following Grace’s death is great. One thing you’ll notice about this era is that it has some of the best cliffhangers in the entire show. I think there’s only one or two in this whole era that I’m not a big fan of, and the others are brilliant. Glad that you’re liking everything so far, can’t wait to watch more
I love this opener, glad you enjoyed it. Chibnall really *gets* ordinary, down-to-earth people, like you said, and I've always found the 13th Doctor to be really similar to the 1st: she's a just wanderer with a very moral clear sense of right and wrong, and she even has a group of 3 companions!
I’m glad you enjoyed it. Her vibe is quite nice there is some poorly written parts but all the same Jodie Whittakers doctor is too over hated. She’s quite likeable as the doctor ❤
By far not my favorite era of Who but never changed my opinion of Jodie, she was great. Have differing opinions on the rest of the cast but Jodie was always stellar in the role
Peter Capaldi was asked to stay by Chibnall, but he declined so hence Twice Upon A Time, which Peter doesn't like multi Doctor stories is the most fascinating part about that episode.
@HamzaReactz You're an amazing and unique reactor whom I adore, and giving you knowledge is only the right thing to do since you are a true member of our community ❤️
Not a fan of the era but it’s nice having a fresh perspective. I really like Jodi in Capaldi’s outfit, has a kinda Withnail (of “and I” fame) feel with the oversized, messy “fallen aristocrat” look.
I will follow these reactions even though I really disliked this whole era. Jodie just doesn't feel like the Doctor to me. Like AT ALL. She has no gravitas, she's never menacing. She explains stuff well. For the audience... She hardly ever shows any genuine emotions, only awkwardness. And that makes it difficult for me to relate. I'm a pretty serious guy. I can't really deal with "quirky" people. Maybe that's my problem then. I just want to clarify. There were a couple of moments with her that I ABSOLUTELY LOVED. I may mention it, when the time comes...
Really glad you liked the 13th doctor. She is massively underrated, and sexism (whether conscious or not) has clearly influenced many people's opinions. The thing that annoyed me about this on first watch was Grace's death. You're right; she's a great character and it's a shame to lose her. However, the death does provide a good catalyst for character development concerning both Graham and Ryan, so I can understand Chibnell's writing choice here.
I never understood the ranting hatred this era got. As for this episode, despite some flaws (mostly the rather Hollywood bad guy) it felt to me like a much-needed kick up the backside for the show.
@@chanceneck8072 Oh "videos" of course... if you don't have your own opinion then you need to watch hate videos. Sure... btw do u know that these people who hated Chibnall era are making just exactly the same videos about current RTD era? Even some titles are the same 🤣
This is exactly what I was talking about the other day when I praised the authenticity of your reactions. There's not even a hint of influence from other opinions or anything, good or bad, about Jodie Whittaker, Chibnall, the tone or anything. Just honest reactions. Brilliant stuff, Hamza. The way you say 'tomatoes' bothers me a lot more than it should, but I'll forgive it!
I 100% agree that DW needs to keep changing it up. The issue I had with 13s era, similar to the 5th doctor is that the Tardis is super crowded. 13 plays hosts to her companions, mainly 100% reactionary until the Witches Familiar when we finally got a glimpse of her character stand-alone-without a reaction to an event. Her first seasons is rough, a couple good episodes. Series 12 has some of my fave tho
I recommend this order for story arch and judge her era as a whole rather than series by series. ( Best binging) 1. "The Woman Who Fell to Earth" 2. "The Ghost Monument" 3. "Resolution of the Daleks" 4. "Spyfall, Part 1" 5. "Spyfall, Part 2" 6. "Fugitive of the Judoon" 7. "The Haunting of Villa Diodati" 8. "Ascension of the Cybermen" 9. "The Timeless Children" 10. "Revolution of the Daleks" 11. "The Halloween Apocalypse" 12. "War of the Sontarans" 13. "Once Upon a Time" 14. "Village of the Angels" 15. "Survivors of the Flux" 16. "The Vanquishers" 17. "Eve of the Daleks" 18. "Power of the Doctor" The rest are filler episodes - (my best to least fav) 1. "Rosa" 2. "Can You Hear Me?" 3. "It Takes You Away" 4. "Demons of the Punjab" 5. "Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror" 6. "The Witchfinders" 7. "The Tsuranga Conundrum" 8. "Kerblam!" 9. "Arachnids in the UK" 10. "The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos" 11. "Legends of the Sea Devils" 12. "Praxeus" 13. "Orphan 55"
Glad you enjoyed it and noticed the filming is different also, bigger budget. I’ve watched Jodie’s era a few times and can say, personally there’s only 1 poor episode this season and one I find difficult to watch towards the end. Otherwise she’s awesome with great stories.
I felt pretty excited after this episode and a lot more reassured but 13 never really develops a personality after this, it’s just that post-regeneration blank slate the whole way through
I thought this one was ok. On par with Rose, but not as good as any of the other post-regeneration stories, imo. I liked the next episode more. I'm glad you're enjoying it.
Not everyone agrees with this but I think Chibnall had a series of excellent ideas just let down, for some reason, pretty consistently by average as hell execution. The plots for S12-13 were given too frantic pacing later on and the character stuff let down by a real lack of being actually dealt with or followed through with any sense of interiority which made that stuff feel constantly impersonal, while S11 was too lacking in some of the basics of the show (And also still suffered for a lack of character development). I think theres a lot to enjoy though. Jodie being one of them. I feel due to the writing her doctor was not really given as much of a stamp of individuality or even depth as most other doctors but she, to me, undeniably nails the basics of what the doctor should be. I also thought the production values were consistently strong and I find the composer underappreciated,
I gotta admit I wasn’t a fan of this era on the first watch through. But I feel like I need to watch it again just to give it another chance. But I do have a friend who’s way more into Doctor Who than me who described Chris Chibnall as “The worst thing to come out of Britain since the British Empire.” Which I think is a tad harsh.
I've always said this, while it is my (current) least favorite era of New Who, I do think 13's era gets TOO much hate. I'm not particularly fond of Series 11, it has great stuff but nothing amazing. Series 12 though is where things pick up for me, it's not in my top 5 seasons or anything, but i'm absolutely a Series 12 apologist. And Series 13... Well it's hard to describe my thoughts without spoiling so it's best you experience that whenever you get there. So yeah welcome to a very bizarre ride in Doctor Who called the Chibnall era.
Hold on... you're 19??! No offense intended, but i thought u were older cuz ur much more mature than other 19 yr olds i work with- With that over, i do like Jodie as a Doctor. However, like much of the fanbase, i dont like the writing that much. And finally, yes, Jodie is a yorkshire woman. As a yorkshire woman myself, i absolutely loved it hear a Yorkshire Doctor
I don't think Chibnall is good with character work/development per say, I still think Russell takes the cake on that for me.. but he has a specific type of "everyday person" writing that really suits the non sci-fi elements of the show.
I was very opposed to a female doctor. Not a female master because I could see the master as female. But the doctor has always been very bloke-ish. I pictured all sorts of female stereotypes, jokes about undergarments or monthly crankiness, as though “female” would be so “groundbreaking”that it would be annoying. Look she’s female! She wears mascara! (None of those things makes someone female… I can say as a kid who was a tomboy from the start). God bless Chris Chibnall and Jodie. From the start Jodie was simply the doctor. Not “the female doctor”. Just the doctor. As much as any of the others. I do have some issues with this era but they are not due to Jodie and this era had some great episodes (this is one). There is one coming up that most fans don’t like but I love. More later.
Jodie era is my least favourite era of the show but it still enjoyable to watch. Get ready mate. This era will change everything you thought you knew about The Doctor.
This episode is definitely a good episode. Unfortunately this is significantly better than most episodes in the era imo. The characters get really lame over time and I think getting rid of the Grace was a detrimental decision. Jodie Whittaker is a fantastic actor and this episode shows that, but she gets plagued by some terrible character writing later on. Hopefully you do enjoy this era, it’s just not for me
It’s the acting I can’t stand in this era, Ryan is just so abysmal?m, Yaz isn’t much better and Jodie’s hardly the most believable. It’s all just strangely amateur whilst looking visually amazing
I agree for the most part, I think Jodie is good, but I can see the issues with the other 2 acting. Need to mention that in the next video because I felt that with Ryan but couldn’t tell what the issue was. Looking back at it, it was the acting :)
@@HamzaReactz he just taints every episode he appears in for me. There are some episodes that are good enough I can see past it for the most part. But the majority I just can’t rewatch.
I ran out of steam with moffats time and looked forward to the change.... sadly, when jodie stsrted, it just didnt seem right to me.. aimed at too young an audience with pretty bad writing/music/acting/directing all round.... maybe youll find something to like in this, some do as you can see by the comments... good luck
I disagree with that. Everything you said about what you didn’t like about Moffat era is what I loved about it. Moffat was the best writer this show had. His writing of this show was well written, better than anything Chris did.
It’s sad because absolutely nothing develops from here. “Maybe it’s just post-regeneration, too early to tell”. Nope, that’s her from here on out. That’s all the thought given to her character and the others for that matter. This is the best episode to come from this era, it really becomes a slog to sit through 😢
You watched the END of the Who with Capaldi. You will see. They will start to go against 55 years of settled DW lore and start to change it because of politics. By the way, ALL the writers for these seasons had NO, NONE, NADA sci-fi writing experience and they were ALL political writers. See where that gets you??
"None sci-fi writing experience" Hm, let's check some of RTD works before Doctor Who... "Coronation street: Viva Las Vegas!"(😳), "Grand"(drama), "Queer as Folk"(drama), "Linda Green"(comedy-drama), "Bob and Rose"(romantic drama), Casanova(drama) - sure "proper sci-fi"😂
Oh FFS, every time a reaction channel reaches this point, there are people like you trying to condition them into hating what's coming. Who's really trying to push their political agenda here? Yep, YOU are.🙄
Sorry, Master. We'll make sure he hates everything you hate and likes everything you enjoy. All hail the hive mind opinion. All hail the hive mind opinion... Not really. Ffs, why do you even present yourself like that? 🙄
This story is fine. I still never like the late gender swapping and just chose to see Missy as someone different. Jodie Whittaker was a bad pick to change my opinion. She was clearly out of her depth and her comments really alienated a lot of fans basicially accept gender swapping and female taking the leads or f you was how she cane across. Tosin Cole is also incredibly wooden and an awful actor. Chris Chibnall is a very agenda shoving and overdoses it alot to the point i switched off after this season. I watched big episodes after this season but there os one storyarc that is mentioned next episode that is the single most hated thing in the entire show and why this era I will never revisit and just pretend like it doesn’t exist
@@sallyatticum when it comes to this era it will always be the most despised era on the show with how it shat on the entire history of the show. Bad acting can be forgiven but the bigger plot this era unforgivable
"I think Chibnall is VERY good with character work"... uh-oh. I mean... time will tell. As you make your way through the coming seasons, you may come to find those words were perhaps a teensy-tiny-ikkle-wit premature! 🤣
I think that some folks should do a rewatch and and may not find this era so objectionable.

I like this first one. I love the callback to the spoon.

Yes! People say I am nuts, but I thought this era was a throwback to classic Who. 13 reminded me a lot of 5.
The Woman who fell to earth.

Ah yes, the episode that features one of my favourite lines that lives rent-free in my head... "EAT MY SALAD, HALLOWEEN."
This is exactly what I was talking about the other day when I praised the authenticity of your reactions. There's not even a hint of influence from other opinions or anything, good or bad, about Jodie Whittaker, Chibnall, the tone or anything. Just honest reactions.
Brilliant stuff, Hamza.
The way you say 'tomatoes' bothers me a lot more than it should, but I'll forgive it!
😂😂😂😂 I actually normally say it the way I’m suppose to, but the one time I say it differently, it of course happens to be on camera 😂
And that’s very nice of you to feel that way about my reactions, thanks for watching :)
Great era and Doctor, excited to see your reactions
Thanks for watching :)
I 100% agree that DW needs to keep changing it up. The issue I had with 13s era, similar to the 5th doctor is that the Tardis is super crowded. 13 plays hosts to her companions, mainly 100% reactionary until the Witches Familiar when we finally got a glimpse of her character stand-alone-without a reaction to an event.
Her first seasons is rough, a couple good episodes. Series 12 has some of my fave tho
Don't know if it's just because she's new, but you seem to be having a lot of fun with this new era
Well, as good as Smith and Capaldi were, it's refreshing to be here after so so much of Moffat 😅
I recommend this order for story arch and judge her era as a whole rather than series by series.
( Best binging)
1. "The Woman Who Fell to Earth"
2. "The Ghost Monument"
3. "Resolution of the Daleks"
4. "Spyfall, Part 1"
5. "Spyfall, Part 2"
6. "Fugitive of the Judoon"
7. "The Haunting of Villa Diodati"
8. "Ascension of the Cybermen"
9. "The Timeless Children"
10. "Revolution of the Daleks"
11. "The Halloween Apocalypse"
12. "War of the Sontarans"
13. "Once Upon a Time"
14. "Village of the Angels"
15. "Survivors of the Flux"
16. "The Vanquishers"
17. "Eve of the Daleks"
18. "Power of the Doctor"
The rest are filler episodes - (my best to least fav)
1. "Rosa"
2. "Can You Hear Me?"
3. "It Takes You Away"
4. "Demons of the Punjab"
5. "Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror"
6. "The Witchfinders"
7. "The Tsuranga Conundrum"
8. "Kerblam!"
9. "Arachnids in the UK"
10. "The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos"
11. "Legends of the Sea Devils"
12. "Praxeus"
13. "Orphan 55"
I plan to watch it how it is on iPlayer, but thanks for sending me the list :)
Glad you enjoyed it and noticed the filming is different also, bigger budget.
I’ve watched Jodie’s era a few times and can say, personally there’s only 1 poor episode this season and one I find difficult to watch towards the end. Otherwise she’s awesome with great stories.
I felt pretty excited after this episode and a lot more reassured but 13 never really develops a personality after this, it’s just that post-regeneration blank slate the whole way through
I’ll be honest, I don’t enjoy this era or this episode. But it’s always nice to see someone appreciate something you don’t like 😁
I thought this one was ok. On par with Rose, but not as good as any of the other post-regeneration stories, imo.
I liked the next episode more.
I'm glad you're enjoying it.
can't wait till you meet mr plasterer, plasterer plasterer plasterer plasterer plasterer plasterer, nobodyyyyyy loves soup more than meeee.
Oh your good at this
Not everyone agrees with this but I think Chibnall had a series of excellent ideas just let down, for some reason, pretty consistently by average as hell execution. The plots for S12-13 were given too frantic pacing later on and the character stuff let down by a real lack of being actually dealt with or followed through with any sense of interiority which made that stuff feel constantly impersonal, while S11 was too lacking in some of the basics of the show (And also still suffered for a lack of character development). I think theres a lot to enjoy though. Jodie being one of them. I feel due to the writing her doctor was not really given as much of a stamp of individuality or even depth as most other doctors but she, to me, undeniably nails the basics of what the doctor should be. I also thought the production values were consistently strong and I find the composer underappreciated,
I gotta admit I wasn’t a fan of this era on the first watch through. But I feel like I need to watch it again just to give it another chance.
But I do have a friend who’s way more into Doctor Who than me who described Chris Chibnall as “The worst thing to come out of Britain since the British Empire.”
Which I think is a tad harsh.
Yeah seems a bit harsh 😂
I've always said this, while it is my (current) least favorite era of New Who, I do think 13's era gets TOO much hate. I'm not particularly fond of Series 11, it has great stuff but nothing amazing. Series 12 though is where things pick up for me, it's not in my top 5 seasons or anything, but i'm absolutely a Series 12 apologist. And Series 13... Well it's hard to describe my thoughts without spoiling so it's best you experience that whenever you get there.
So yeah welcome to a very bizarre ride in Doctor Who called the Chibnall era.
Hold on... you're 19??! No offense intended, but i thought u were older cuz ur much more mature than other 19 yr olds i work with-
With that over, i do like Jodie as a Doctor. However, like much of the fanbase, i dont like the writing that much.
And finally, yes, Jodie is a yorkshire woman. As a yorkshire woman myself, i absolutely loved it hear a Yorkshire Doctor
Don’t expect most people my age to be mature in Yorkshire. Id say most of them never actually end up being that 😂
And yeah as a Yorkshire person, I love that we have a Yorkshire doctor :)
I don't think Chibnall is good with character work/development per say, I still think Russell takes the cake on that for me.. but he has a specific type of "everyday person" writing that really suits the non sci-fi elements of the show.
I was very opposed to a female doctor. Not a female master because I could see the master as female. But the doctor has always been very bloke-ish. I pictured all sorts of female stereotypes, jokes about undergarments or monthly crankiness, as though “female” would be so “groundbreaking”that it would be annoying. Look she’s female! She wears mascara! (None of those things makes someone female… I can say as a kid who was a tomboy from the start). God bless Chris Chibnall and Jodie. From the start Jodie was simply the doctor. Not “the female doctor”. Just the doctor. As much as any of the others. I do have some issues with this era but they are not due to Jodie and this era had some great episodes (this is one). There is one coming up that most fans don’t like but I love. More later.
Thanks for sharing your opinion on her and having a female doctor :)
I loved this episode, solid introduction to a new era, unfortunately i think this may be the peak of it for me.
A bit of a mixed era
I don’t hate the Thirteenth Doctor / Chibnall era… but for me, the best episodes of the era are easily this one and the very last one 😂 long way to go
Fair enough 😂
Hamza: "I like her"
Us: "Oh dear..."
Ngl, I kinda prefer 13th in 12th's clothes than her actual clothes
So far, me too :)
But I like the new outfit aswell :)
Jodie era is my least favourite era of the show but it still enjoyable to watch. Get ready mate. This era will change everything you thought you knew about The Doctor.
Forever
This episode is definitely a good episode. Unfortunately this is significantly better than most episodes in the era imo. The characters get really lame over time and I think getting rid of the Grace was a detrimental decision. Jodie Whittaker is a fantastic actor and this episode shows that, but she gets plagued by some terrible character writing later on. Hopefully you do enjoy this era, it’s just not for me
It’s the acting I can’t stand in this era, Ryan is just so abysmal?m, Yaz isn’t much better and Jodie’s hardly the most believable. It’s all just strangely amateur whilst looking visually amazing
I agree for the most part, I think Jodie is good, but I can see the issues with the other 2 acting. Need to mention that in the next video because I felt that with Ryan but couldn’t tell what the issue was. Looking back at it, it was the acting :)
@@HamzaReactz he just taints every episode he appears in for me. There are some episodes that are good enough I can see past it for the most part. But the majority I just can’t rewatch.
I ran out of steam with moffats time and looked forward to the change.... sadly, when jodie stsrted, it just didnt seem right to me.. aimed at too young an audience with pretty bad writing/music/acting/directing all round.... maybe youll find something to like in this, some do as you can see by the comments... good luck
I disagree with that. Everything you said about what you didn’t like about Moffat era is what I loved about it. Moffat was the best writer this show had. His writing of this show was well written, better than anything Chris did.
@rtaylor7384 sorry, I've not written it right.... the comments were regarding chibnalls time....
The era of suck.
It’s sad because absolutely nothing develops from here. “Maybe it’s just post-regeneration, too early to tell”. Nope, that’s her from here on out. That’s all the thought given to her character and the others for that matter. This is the best episode to come from this era, it really becomes a slog to sit through 😢
You watched the END of the Who with Capaldi. You will see. They will start to go against 55 years of settled DW lore and start to change it because of politics. By the way, ALL the writers for these seasons had NO, NONE, NADA sci-fi writing experience and they were ALL political writers. See where that gets you??
"None sci-fi writing experience"
Hm, let's check some of RTD works before Doctor Who... "Coronation street: Viva Las Vegas!"(😳), "Grand"(drama), "Queer as Folk"(drama), "Linda Green"(comedy-drama), "Bob and Rose"(romantic drama), Casanova(drama) - sure "proper sci-fi"😂
🤣We have moved on from your silly culture war.
Oh FFS, every time a reaction channel reaches this point, there are people like you trying to condition them into hating what's coming. Who's really trying to push their political agenda here? Yep, YOU are.🙄
Sorry, Master. We'll make sure he hates everything you hate and likes everything you enjoy. All hail the hive mind opinion. All hail the hive mind opinion...
Not really. Ffs, why do you even present yourself like that? 🙄
This story is fine. I still never like the late gender swapping and just chose to see Missy as someone different.
Jodie Whittaker was a bad pick to change my opinion. She was clearly out of her depth and her comments really alienated a lot of fans basicially accept gender swapping and female taking the leads or f you was how she cane across.
Tosin Cole is also incredibly wooden and an awful actor.
Chris Chibnall is a very agenda shoving and overdoses it alot to the point i switched off after this season. I watched big episodes after this season but there os one storyarc that is mentioned next episode that is the single most hated thing in the entire show and why this era I will never revisit and just pretend like it doesn’t exist
😂
Wow, are people still bitching about this? Move on! Get a life!
I really don’t see the issue with a time lord being a woman, whether it’s the master or doctor. But you’re entitled to your own opinion :)
@@HamzaReactz it just came to late where it felt forced to me. If classic who didn’t exist i dont think it would’ve bothered me.
@@sallyatticum when it comes to this era it will always be the most despised era on the show with how it shat on the entire history of the show. Bad acting can be forgiven but the bigger plot this era unforgivable
"I think Chibnall is VERY good with character work"... uh-oh. I mean... time will tell. As you make your way through the coming seasons, you may come to find those words were perhaps a teensy-tiny-ikkle-wit premature! 🤣
Damn 😂
