I think it got only down hill after this point. I stopped watching it with my friend group, it was not that fun anymore. One time my friend said: Are we still in school?! A lof of people i know stopped watching it. It is not a woman that is falling, but the show it self. They just better cancel if it doesnt get better!
Hooray! It's the crap Season! Hey, if anyone's interested, I'm reviewing all the Doctor Who stories on my channel, with me just having uploaded my review of: 'Death To The Daleks (1974)!' No pressure, of-course; It just might be worth checking out! :)
No one will be mad at you guys if you decide to quit the show. Majority of people did. Its just so bad and so borind that its hard to finish one episode without falling asleep or checking your phone
They changed Doctor, companions showrunner, and composer. One thing they did NOT change, to Eric's dismay, is "that fucking sound." I am not dismayed, but I do understand. :)
@@carealoo744 no, in her entire era so far 😂 Here's when she says it... 1. The Woman Who Fell to Earth (1) 2. Arachnids in the UK (1) 3. The Witchfinders (1) 4. The Battle of Ranskoor av Kolos (1) 5. Resolution (1) 6. Spyfall Part 1 (1) 7. Spyfall Part 2 (1) That's probably right, though she may have said it twice in Resolution.
Guess its the issue with having 3 companions the show is always going to be about the Doctor so each Companion only gets a certain amount of time but I feel Yaz has been pushed forward more this year not just the last episode last series was all about Ryan mainly and his relationship with his step dad
@@nutmas7185 same, like I get not knowing what to say, but at least say something like "I wish I knew what to say Graham." Something like that. Something comforting, the guy's coming to you with his genuine fears.
I've lived in Sheffield where this episode is set for almost 3 years now, so it was great seeing some locations spent a lot of time in. Also, the bit with salad man is incredibly accurate to nights out in Sheffield, to my shame
Lol. Same for me, was really odd seeing a mockup of those cranes that are down the road from Meadowhell be used as the set piece for the battle this episode.
Karl Morton IV I’m not exactly saying that...but I’ve had a some fun nights out that ended with takeaway food everywhere and me sat in a puddle looking very sad
Wait they eat salads on the North lol no seriously as someone who lives in Chesterfield a few miles from Sheffield it's great seeing it filmed some where close
Eric's reaction to that guy's thick Northern English accent was priceless lmao. Hopefully that's a good reminder that we don't all sound like that posh uppity accent you hear so often
Jodie is a fun doctor. I feel like there is maybe one too many companion ,or maybe I’m just used to getting to know the doctor and just the one companion first, and seeing that dynamic that my focus is not adept to this team tardiness.
I mean in classic who I think there was a time when they had like three companions at once. Plus I think it is cool having more than just one or two. It makes me really love the episode when 10's gang was altogether in the TARDIS driving it properly.
No matter your thoughts on the quality of the season, their reactions and discussion while watching this episode were the most involved and entertaining they've been since early Peter Capaldi. I think, like most of the audience at the end of Moffat's run, they needed something fresh to get them back into it. I feel like these reactions are about to be a whole lot of fun.
Luke Skywalker They don’t care about “political correctness” at all. They’ll notice if actually bad stories are told, but I can’t see them ever having a good story “ruined” for them by politics
@@rakoonshampoo2608 when its showed in your face in every episode I'm sure they will notice since thats one of the reasons why those stories are so bad and boring
_"It doesn't feel like Doctor Who"_ nails it IMO. Some may say it's just the way of the show. But, I've watched since the 70s, & its '05 return, while different, still felt like _Who_ to me. So, _"pbbbbbth!"_ 😝 😏 We'll see how it goes...
This season has a few good episodes, but the season overall is "eh." I don't rate it as harshly as others done since this is Chibnall's first season. You can tell he is dipping his toe into the Doctor Who pool. He has written episodes before, but they were never the respected seasons's best episodes. Without going into spoilers my biggest issue with Chibnall's Doctor Who is that none of the adventures they go on feels like they don't evolve the characters. Yaz and Ryan, even during the current season, doesn't feel they aren't much different from when they began. Graham is great though. There are good episodes, with the current season being an improvement, but it doesn't reach the highs of Russel T Davis and Steven Moffat.
The only reason they created Yaz is to make one woke episode about India. After that they forgot she even existed. How progressive... Not to mention they forgot she was a cop since she never acted like she had any kind of training.
@@Pir-o that's not why they added Yaz that doesn't even make any sense. They could have still done that episode if they didn't include her on the team. It has nothing to do with being woke it has nothing to do with being progressive it's just bad writing simple as that.
By the time Series 13 starts, the whole Blind Wave crew will be caught up with Melron. You guys are gonna need a bigger table to add Melanie on here. That’s gonna feel so weird and great to watch.
'The Woman Who Fell To Earth' is a pretty decent opener and functions as well as an introductory story can be, plus Jodie Whittaker did show some promise as Thirteen from the start. As far as introductions go for new eras of Modern Who, this doesn’t have the reinvented zing of 'Rose', 'The Eleventh Hour' or even 'Deep Breath', but it did leave me cautiously optimistic and intrigued for the rest of Series 11, even if it did end up becoming my least favourite series of Modern Who overall by the end.
@PikaCinema is it really? I watched the first two episodes (The two parts) but haven't continued beyond that. I really want to keep enjoying this show but my interest has continued to decline quite rapidly. Without spoiling it would you be able to tell me how or why it's better?
@@GamingNinja999 They are finally doing a bigger more interesting story and most episodes so far have been pretty solid although there are still crappy ones
@@GamingNinja999 They shit on 50y of DW history just to be even more "woke". Its just as bad as the last season (0% on RT) but now they using memberberries to trick people into thinking its better. Apparently before the first Doctor he was a chubby black lady, he just forgot all about it...
@@karkatvantas9557 I liked the frog. It was the Solitract finally being at peace and feeling the freedom to choose a form it liked rather than posing as things others liked. People berated the episode in part because it chose a frog instead of, say, Susan or River, but doing so wouldn't have made thematic sense given that the Doctor already accepted the Solitract for who she was. The frog was actually a great way to cap off the Solitract's character.
@@BlueSparxLPs Also it's just weird. That's the fun of it. If that was in a Baker episode, people would love it, but because it's a Whittaker episode, people find a problem.
And so begins the most polarising doctor. I don't mind her. But at the same time it's the first time I've been excited for a regeneration, I think she needs to regen soon.
@@gummyjellyfrog yeah. I'd want them to regen the doctor and change writer. Cos if they changed writer but kept Jodie I think she'd be ooc but if they kept the writer it would stay poop
I feel like Eric got everything mixed up. He believes his first impression of Capaldi was great because Capaldi ended up being his favorite doctor but if I remember he liked the eleventh hour a lot and was pretty meh about Capaldi's episode.
The tone of this episode was so intriguing and refreshing and i was so excited for this era. Looking back i think i really like the 13th doctors era despite the massive issues it had at times.
This is actually the first episode of Doctor Who I have ever seen. I had heard of the show obviously but never bothered to watch it because I’m a completionist and thought I needed to watch ever episode beforehand to get the show but then I heard about the whole regeneration thing and thought okay maybe I’ll watch it then. Now keep in mind I’ve only seen this doctor but I freaking love her!
Well at least you started with the worst season in 50y of DW history. You can only go up from here! You should start with ninth or tenth doctor and I'm 100% you gonna enjoy it much more than this crap.
I'm so glad you are enjoying it! Season 11 was designed as sort of a jumping on point, so it's a good place to start. I love love love Jodie as The Doctor, and even though her stories haven't necessarily been my favorites, she is MY Doctor. And I definitely recommend, if you want more after you've finished/caught up, going back to season 1 and the 9th Doctor. He was my, and a lot of people's, first Doctor, and he was fantastic😊
I know this season got a lot of hate. Personally I felt it had a lot of ups and downs in terms of story quality of the episodes. High highs and low lows. The high highs for me were the 03, and 06. As a white British man, it was great to see something like them. Both episodes made me cry. For me though, the best thing about this season was the companions. I loved everyone of them especially, Bradley Walsh's character, Graham.
@@karlmortoniv2951 Yep. And also including trips to historical characters/events. Personally i'm very mixed on Chibnall's run so far but anyone claiming it's unrelated to the original concept doesn't know 'Doctor Who'.
@Steve Frankes The only reason you're hating on Jodie Whittaker's acting skill is because you know you can't even do 0.0001% as good as her even if you had years of training.
Anon Ymes Same here as far as having mixed feelings. This year feels MUCH better than last year, but the lack of faith in the intelligence of the viewer, if that’s what’s happening, is getting me down a bit. Seems like they swung too far in the other direction from Moff’s gloriously baroque narrative excesses - which I have always been a huge fan of. Obviously Moff’s isn’t the only way to do it, but Chibs ‘leave no viewer behind’ approach seems like overcompensating.
@@karlmortoniv2951 Totally agree. I'm a big Moffat fan too but I do get the criticism that his stuff can be less accessible for casual viewers. Series 11 in particular though felt like a massive over-correction (and I really don't buy Chibnall's claim after the fact that it was about setting up characters etc. - particularly given how underserved Yaz was IMO - as if it was all part of some master plan). Series 12 has indeed felt like a big improvement though (so far anyway, hopefully they can stick the landing).
I really appreciate the move to Sheffield for Chibnall’s run. As someone who lives in Sheffield I’ve loved seeing recognisable places that I see everyday in the city. I’ve never been able to connect to Doctor Who when it was centred around London and never really moved elsewhere, so I never felt connected to the locations. Hell, the last time I remember any episode set up north was the Crimson Terror, and that made Yorkshire a generic and faceless place. However, I now feel like Doctor Who appreciates me and where I live much better than any previous season. I mean, in the most recent episode I saw the Arts Tower and Western Bank library, my university’s most iconic buildings, and I can’t describe how amazing it was to see them. So, I know that a lot of people have issues with Chibnall’s run, but for me he’s one of the best things to ever happen to the show.
Sorry guys......I have to bail. It's been a joy and such a hilarious journey with yall on the previous 10 seasons but I can no longer join you. My feelings on 13 and season 11 are just not strong enough to go through it again.
@@robvanriot I came back to watch World Enough And Time/The Doctor Falls/Twice Upon A Time, because they're 3 of my favorite episodes of Doctor Who, and I wanted to see their reaction to the reveals. (The reveal of The Master was pathetic) I haven't Watched this video, but I just came to see the comments bash Series 11.
@@robvanriot Also, I just like to try and check up on them, you know? They may have ticked me off, when they revealed that they're not going to react anymore. Classic Who, but when I was watching the reactions for series 1 through 6, they kind of helped me get through some tough times.
They tried to do too much in one episode. For starters, a season opener has to establish The Doctor and their companion. Eleventh Hour had lots of supporting players, but Amy and Eleven were unquestionably the leads. Here, we have THREE companions who get introduced, not enough time to develop them all, not enough time to build unique relationships with The Doctor and each of them. It’s the difference between Avengers taking their time and DC jumping into the deep end with no prior setup. You get to know The Doctor via the relationship with the companion, and the relationship just isn’t there. I just didn’t buy it. And my God, the music SUCKS.
@@nothanks5752 No kidding. I counted once to see how many actors who were on Broadchurch were also on Doctor Who or one of its spinoffs and I think there were around 25.
“Ryan Sinclair, don’t you dare!” Still love that meme. This season is solid, with a few standout episodes and some which could have used another scripting pass. Chibnall seems to be pulling it all together, so I’m still enjoying the ride.
The only thing that Chibnall is pulling is shit out of his ass. What a talentless hack... If you enjoyed anything from this ride dear good... some people have extremely low standards. Those are the lowest rated season in 50y of DW.
Yeah, i enjoyed this season. Is it as good as some other seasons of New Who? Maybe not, but I think its hated on way too much. Season 7 wasn't that great either, despite standout moments like Day of the Doctor
sereis 11 is boring leftist feminist agenda driven non who-lore rubbish. i might check in to see if you guys react with similar thoughts in series 11 so far series 12 is better mostly due to less preachy and back to who lore...
@@bluepolarbear Yea, let people who enjoy the series have their say and let people who dislike the series have their say without anyone with an opposing view chipping in with sly digs at them. All's fair in love and war.
The individual episodes in this season were okay. Nothing really stood out but I think the show suffered a bit from the sudden shift away from a season narrative. It wasn't necessarily a bad choice but definitely a very jarring one.
its suffered from terrible writing, cardboard characters, terrible music, being overly woke and extremely boring. The showrunner is a hack who acts like he hates DW and everything that was established in the last 50 years. He wanted to create new villains only to fail at creating even a single one so they had to roll back to memberberries... what a goddman hack.
@@Pir-o That's a harsh opinion. I quite enjoyed the stories and the characters. They were different for sure but I don't think they were terrible. You're free, of course, to not enjoy or watch it but it seemed to do fine because we still have the same characters/showrunner this season which by all accounts I've seen has been quite good.
Excited for certain episodes and events, reckon some even this season will create some great discussion. Plus, really wanna see how they react to the huge step up in visual effects.
@@romaina.6241 I'd say so. How good the show is, is up for debate, but even if you think it's the worst series of TV of all time, the effects are undeniably great for TV, and better than Doctor Who has ever had.
@@romaina.6241 I know what you mean, that wasn't as good as we've been used to, but I'm going to have to call biased if you don't think overall the last 2 seasons have been way better for effects
@@duggs4456 I think that the visual effects are really good when it comes to non living objects. But it's been good for a few seasons now. In terms of living creatures (when it's not prosthetics) it's pretty bad actually. I feel like that one monster was worse than the one in the Vincent Van Gogh episode for example. And it was about 10 years ago.
Sheffield, where this was shot and I live, has its own police box! And Park Hill, where we have an apartment, had the TARDIS parked outside when filming was taking place. Sheffield was a world centre of steel and coal and has to remake itself without losing its working class roots. Jodie's accent is Sheffield (ish)
Ignoring the idiots complaining about "wokeness", this season is widely viewed as one of the worst of who not because it was so bad but because it was so meh. Nothing happens in this series. Thats the main issue
implying that terrible woke writing wasn't on of the reasons those season were so bad? Also " viewed as one of the worst of who not because it was so bad" Yeah no... it was terrible. Its those are the worst rated season in all of DW history. it was bad, meh and boring and woke at the same time
@@Pir-o Piro Man doctor who has always been "woke" or whatever so thats not a new thing at all. I can think of much worse episodes from previous series and imo there isnt a downright awful episode just no good ones either. It just lacks any creativity and theres no cohesive story
I wasn't a fan of Series 7, but after rewatching it through you guys I liked it more (although I still think it's the weakest of the Moffat era). So I'm hoping the same happens here. I really like the cast, and I like the new look the show's going for, but for me it's the writing that lets this series down. For what it's worth though, I think Series 12 has _so_ _far_ been an improvement over 11.
Here it is... the begging of the end. Cant wait to see their excitement go down with every single episode. Those next seasons are a real dumpster fire. Terrible writing, terrible acting, terrible music. What a waste... To think a show so amazing could turn to shit sooooo quickly...
And here come all those insecure crybabies who can't handle the fact that most people hated the thing they liked... Gotta love those people who have ZERO standards for their entertainment. They just consume every shit you give them and applause like stupid seals... and ofc call you names cause terrible writing needs to be protected and they can't handle different opinions. News flash - those next season are the worst rated season in 50 years of DW history. The new season just hit 0% on RT lol. I had no idea that this was even possible.
@PikaCinema Graham is literally the only person who can act this season... and music was pure cringe. Go check Harry's Haunted House reviews for examples of that terrible acting if you want. And season 12 just hit 0% on RT and it shits on 50 years of DW history and lore just to make it even more "woke". So yeah... maybe it was "amazing" for you but for everyone else it was amazingly terrible. The only thing that apparently changed is that they sprinkle memberberries for idiots to clap like stupid seals.
"You're doing it mate" is somehow an extremely funny line to me. I thought this was a good opener for an enjoyable series. Series 11 feels very classic who-ish though, and that didn't please everyone. If you take that, and the established fact that The Doctor Who fandom is a pretty negative one, you get an underrated series. Looking forward to more reactions!
@@Pir-o since when was rt trustworthy? It's rigged by haters. Ever notice how the latest two series have a LOT more reviews than previous series and classic Seasons?
6:54 - Only just realised that Graham’s friend had already appeared in the first episode. He showed up again in the most recent episode. Didn’t realise he had already appeared. Curious to know how Blind Wave will feel about this series and the new era. I don’t think Series 11 is the worst as others do. It’s basically mid tier for me. I don’t think it’s bad but at the same time, I don’t think it’s the most memorable either. I think this opener is genuinely good though. Feels refreshing after the Moffat era but I wish Series 12 had taken its place.
Season 11 felt like Chibs and Co. were worried about confusing small children, so they made sure to explain everything at a Very Basic Level. Maybe they had an edict from on high to step away from Moff’s more baroque storytelling. The current season is better, but they do still contrive to have Jodie explain the theme of the week, as though to a mentally challenged person. I’m still loving the show, though. I adore all the actors and do not want anyone to leave just yet. 😔
Besides 4, 5, and 10, there isn't really an episode this series I'm actively not looking forward to seeing them react to. Particularly excited for Rosa and Demons, and of course Resolution
thegentleassassin For me it’s The Ghost Monument, Demons of the Punjab, It Takes You Away, Resolution, Spyfall, and Fugitive I’m excited to see them react to.
They are the weakest episodes of Series 11. The finale is definitely the worst as it is very boring, episode 5 is slightly better but the characters are off and episode 4 is just bad writing for the story.
everytime I see this episode and the first appearance of her screwdriver I can't help but think "heeyyyy ! which cyberman did you steal this finger from ?" x)
Two things. 1. Spielberg and Moffat HAVE worked together, moffat wrote the screenplay for Spielberg's TINTIN film. 2. Eric's impression of Pintel from pirates of the caribbean was ON POINT!
i never watched this again after watching it for the first time (i didn't like it, was too slow for me) but rewatching it kinda with you guys here actually made me like it, i think this series will be one that we might like better in future years as a rewatch. there's definitely still hope that jodie's run will be loved. i can't stand the first half of s5 with Matt Smith, and i still can't watch the Venice ep because I hate it so much
I've always felt that the actors are doing their best with the shows poor writing and direction from Chibnall. It is very noticeable from the get go that it's lacking compared to people like Steve Moffata era. Doesn't help they go all sjw with this doctor in her first season, it's one of the reasons the rating are at an all time low for DW and the BBC just seems oblivious. I'm slightly pissed because Jodie is a cracking actress and she could be so much better.
@@thepandorica1660 Jodie's run started at a massive 10.96 million and has dropped viewers every episode to 6.65 at the end of her first season. Then this season started at 6.89 and dropped every episode again down to the current number of 5.22 million. Go google it, check wikipedia or go to the bbc they will all show the same. Also not even close to being "the second highest of the modern series when it comes to views" The viewing figures have been higher for other Doc's at least seven times with the record viewers at 13.31 million for Tennant in series 4 episode Voyage of the Damned.
I know not everyone likes Jodie as Thirteen and that's fair enough. I personally think she's great and I can't wait to see what the guys think. Also, you've now been introduced to one of my three favourite companions, Graham.
I think even those of us who aren't so hot on this season will agree that Graham is an absolute delight. Bradley Walsh is really putting in a lot of work and a lot of raw charisma to pull off a lot of the dialogue he's given to work with.
I’ve never understood the hate of series 11. Sure, it’s very up and down. But I really liked the music. I thought the first three episodes were strong. And the premise of the series finale was amazing. In a lot of ways, New Who didn’t really get going until the second half of series 3, in terms of consistent quality. People forget the three episodes of farting aliens (series 1) all the gooey eyes between Piper and Tennant in series 2. And how template/cookie cutter it was for a while. First episode, new companion. Second episode, future. Third, back in time. Halfway through series, an episode where the series Big Bad is introduced. And I personally didn’t like most of series 7 (the first half a long goodbye for the Ponds, the second half, saying Impossible Girl over and over again).
I think people are used to the Moffat new doctor episodes. In one episode alone, Smith and Capaldi proved why they are the new Doctor. Eccleston was good in Rose, but it wasn't until Dalek where he began to be a great Doctor. Tennant really didn't do much in The Christmas Invasion, but it was School Reunion that Tennant became the Doctor to me. You're not the only one that didn't care for Season 7. Moffat has said in interviews that Season 7 was his least favorite season due to the uncertain nightmare that was the 50th Anniversary.
Lol what. The farting was a terrible choice but aside from that, those 3 episodes are by far superior to anything that came from series 11. The music in series 11 is bland and monotonous, it's practically the same music throughout. The first episode was awful. A cheap version of Predator. It introduced the Doctor terribly having her fall through a roof and instantly spout techno babble until the end of the episode. She has no chemistry with her companions and by the end of the series, we don't understand why these people like the Doctor and travel with her. They never question her or doubt her. They're basically puppy dogs. The second episode was the one with the flying blankets right? The third episode had potential but ended up being a one note flat entry using racism for conflict in the story without actually exploring racism as a context. Let me improve the episode. Take the bland villain and make him an ancestor of the bus driver. Make it so he wants to stop Rosa Parks because he is persecuted in the future because of what his ancestors did. Actually have some depth to the story. Rosa had no depth. It existed only to show racism, not explore it. Also funny you say the concept for the finale was good because you can't praise the execution. A bland villain with a weak motive, no actual stakes throughout the entire episode. A weird unfocused subplot with two alien things. It's basically an underdeveloped version of Stolen Earth. Series 11 was terrible.
I think folks were expecting series 11 to be like series 1-10. And when it wasn’t (music; dynamic with companions), it was wrong. I looked forward to the music, since the same composer had done a two part documentary about volcanoes that I had seen. And the music wasn’t a space opera like series 1-10, but it was atmospheric and experimental and that’s a good thing. The only thing wrong with the finale was that it was resolved too quickly. If it was a special 90 min episode, it would have more room to breathe. Really, the only serious problems with the entire series was the writing of episode 4 and the lack of stakes in the Tsuranga episode.
@@scottredding7357 I just gave you a list of problems which you ignored. And how can you have the nerve to shit on the Slitheen but be fine with the Pting.... that makes no sense to me.
The problem isn't that it went up and down. The problem was that it stayed right in the middle, and never budged an inch. Maybe that formula would work in most sitcoms, but not in Doctor Who.

Of the new companions, Graham is easily the best. He reminds me of an older Arthur Dent.
Jodie is a fun doctor. I feel like there is maybe one too many companion ,or maybe I’m just used to getting to know the doctor and just the one companion first, and seeing that dynamic that my focus is not adept to this team tardiness.
I mean in classic who I think there was a time when they had like three companions at once. Plus I think it is cool having more than just one or two. It makes me really love the episode when 10's gang was altogether in the TARDIS driving it properly.
No matter your thoughts on the quality of the season, their reactions and discussion while watching this episode were the most involved and entertaining they've been since early Peter Capaldi. I think, like most of the audience at the end of Moffat's run, they needed something fresh to get them back into it. I feel like these reactions are about to be a whole lot of fun.
It hurts knowing this is kinda true since I'm such a Capaldi/Moffat fanboy Lmao
I think you're definitely correct about that, but I'm worried this season pretty quickly squandered the fresh attention it had managed to garner.
Luke Skywalker They don’t care about “political correctness” at all. They’ll notice if actually bad stories are told, but I can’t see them ever having a good story “ruined” for them by politics
their excitement will go down with every single episode that's for sure. Just as the rating of those new seasons.
@@rakoonshampoo2608 when its showed in your face in every episode I'm sure they will notice since thats one of the reasons why those stories are so bad and boring
_"It doesn't feel like Doctor Who"_ nails it IMO. Some may say it's just the way of the show. But, I've watched since the 70s, & its '05 return, while different, still felt like _Who_ to me. So, _"pbbbbbth!"_ 😝 😏 We'll see how it goes...
This season has a few good episodes, but the season overall is "eh." I don't rate it as harshly as others done since this is Chibnall's first season. You can tell he is dipping his toe into the Doctor Who pool. He has written episodes before, but they were never the respected seasons's best episodes. Without going into spoilers my biggest issue with Chibnall's Doctor Who is that none of the adventures they go on feels like they don't evolve the characters. Yaz and Ryan, even during the current season, doesn't feel they aren't much different from when they began. Graham is great though. There are good episodes, with the current season being an improvement, but it doesn't reach the highs of Russel T Davis and Steven Moffat.
Yaz and Ryan dont feel like people, they’re more wooden than an actual block of wood, graham is only marginally better
None of the seasons with jodie are very good. The later ones are better but that doesnt make them good.
25:15 “Yaz didn’t do much”. Yup she gets the Rory treatment
I honestly think that's a discredit to Rory lol.
The only reason they created Yaz is to make one woke episode about India. After that they forgot she even existed. How progressive... Not to mention they forgot she was a cop since she never acted like she had any kind of training.
Oh, Rory got far more to do than Yaz. Rory had done more by his second episode than Yaz has done in the past 18 episodes.
Don't insult Rory like that😂
@@Pir-o that's not why they added Yaz that doesn't even make any sense. They could have still done that episode if they didn't include her on the team. It has nothing to do with being woke it has nothing to do with being progressive it's just bad writing simple as that.
By the time Series 13 starts, the whole Blind Wave crew will be caught up with Melron. You guys are gonna need a bigger table to add Melanie on here. That’s gonna feel so weird and great to watch.
Well, shane probably won't be there. Eric maybe. It'll be a while anyway, who knows.
shane has officially resigned sooo
Sorley De Cesare I just saw all of that.
'The Woman Who Fell To Earth' is a pretty decent opener and functions as well as an introductory story can be, plus Jodie Whittaker did show some promise as Thirteen from the start. As far as introductions go for new eras of Modern Who, this doesn’t have the reinvented zing of 'Rose', 'The Eleventh Hour' or even 'Deep Breath', but it did leave me cautiously optimistic and intrigued for the rest of Series 11, even if it did end up becoming my least favourite series of Modern Who overall by the end.
@PikaCinema Agreed!
@PikaCinema is it really? I watched the first two episodes (The two parts) but haven't continued beyond that. I really want to keep enjoying this show but my interest has continued to decline quite rapidly. Without spoiling it would you be able to tell me how or why it's better?
@@GamingNinja999 They are finally doing a bigger more interesting story and most episodes so far have been pretty solid although there are still crappy ones
@PikaCinema you just placing one shit next to a bigger shit and say that it doesn't smell just because its sprinkled with memberberries...
@@GamingNinja999 They shit on 50y of DW history just to be even more "woke". Its just as bad as the last season (0% on RT) but now they using memberberries to trick people into thinking its better. Apparently before the first Doctor he was a chubby black lady, he just forgot all about it...
"The Woman Who Fell to Earth"
double meaning
I was expecting Grace to say “It’s The End but The Moment has been prepared for” and a white ghostly figure merges with her and a new person appears
But the white ghostly figure is actually a talking frog, for some fucking reason
@@Wolf6119 There absolutely was a reason for the frog.
The Watcher! He was the doctor all the time.
@@karkatvantas9557 I liked the frog. It was the Solitract finally being at peace and feeling the freedom to choose a form it liked rather than posing as things others liked. People berated the episode in part because it chose a frog instead of, say, Susan or River, but doing so wouldn't have made thematic sense given that the Doctor already accepted the Solitract for who she was. The frog was actually a great way to cap off the Solitract's character.
@@BlueSparxLPs Also it's just weird. That's the fun of it. If that was in a Baker episode, people would love it, but because it's a Whittaker episode, people find a problem.

Welcome to the most horrible and boring version of Who ever. It just gets worse and worse.
And so begins the most polarising doctor. I don't mind her. But at the same time it's the first time I've been excited for a regeneration, I think she needs to regen soon.
Chibnall and Whittaker have a third series, so not anytime soon.
@@AbuLaith1963 :(
I felt the same at first but I’ve grown to like her.
Regeneration wouldn't help if chibnall is still the writer
@@gummyjellyfrog yeah. I'd want them to regen the doctor and change writer. Cos if they changed writer but kept Jodie I think she'd be ooc but if they kept the writer it would stay poop
What? I thought you guys loved Eleventh Hour. Arguably best intro for one
I feel like Eric got everything mixed up. He believes his first impression of Capaldi was great because Capaldi ended up being his favorite doctor but if I remember he liked the eleventh hour a lot and was pretty meh about Capaldi's episode.
The tone of this episode was so intriguing and refreshing and i was so excited for this era.
Looking back i think i really like the 13th doctors era despite the massive issues it had at times.
I'm glad they like Graham. Graham is great!
It's a crime not to like Graham
This is actually the first episode of Doctor Who I have ever seen. I had heard of the show obviously but never bothered to watch it because I’m a completionist and thought I needed to watch ever episode beforehand to get the show but then I heard about the whole regeneration thing and thought okay maybe I’ll watch it then. Now keep in mind I’ve only seen this doctor but I freaking love her!
Dark Jedi Knight you should definitely go and watch the earlier seasons this season isn’t really the best representation of the show
Well at least you started with the worst season in 50y of DW history. You can only go up from here!
You should start with ninth or tenth doctor and I'm 100% you gonna enjoy it much more than this crap.
Ignore all comments from others (including me!) Just watch at your own pace, take from it what you will and ENJOY
I'm so glad you are enjoying it! Season 11 was designed as sort of a jumping on point, so it's a good place to start. I love love love Jodie as The Doctor, and even though her stories haven't necessarily been my favorites, she is MY Doctor. And I definitely recommend, if you want more after you've finished/caught up, going back to season 1 and the 9th Doctor. He was my, and a lot of people's, first Doctor, and he was fantastic😊
I know this season got a lot of hate. Personally I felt it had a lot of ups and downs in terms of story quality of the episodes. High highs and low lows. The high highs for me were the 03, and 06. As a white British man, it was great to see something like them. Both episodes made me cry. For me though, the best thing about this season was the companions. I loved everyone of them especially, Bradley Walsh's character, Graham.
The original concept? Three companions and the Doctor travelling around in a blue box doing stuff. Seems bang on to me.
@@karlmortoniv2951 Yep. And also including trips to historical characters/events. Personally i'm very mixed on Chibnall's run so far but anyone claiming it's unrelated to the original concept doesn't know 'Doctor Who'.
@Steve Frankes
The only reason you're hating on Jodie Whittaker's acting skill is because you know you can't even do 0.0001% as good as her even if you had years of training.
Anon Ymes Same here as far as having mixed feelings. This year feels MUCH better than last year, but the lack of faith in the intelligence of the viewer, if that’s what’s happening, is getting me down a bit. Seems like they swung too far in the other direction from Moff’s gloriously baroque narrative excesses - which I have always been a huge fan of. Obviously Moff’s isn’t the only way to do it, but Chibs ‘leave no viewer behind’ approach seems like overcompensating.
@@karlmortoniv2951 Totally agree. I'm a big Moffat fan too but I do get the criticism that his stuff can be less accessible for casual viewers. Series 11 in particular though felt like a massive over-correction (and I really don't buy Chibnall's claim after the fact that it was about setting up characters etc. - particularly given how underserved Yaz was IMO - as if it was all part of some master plan). Series 12 has indeed felt like a big improvement though (so far anyway, hopefully they can stick the landing).
I really appreciate the move to Sheffield for Chibnall’s run. As someone who lives in Sheffield I’ve loved seeing recognisable places that I see everyday in the city. I’ve never been able to connect to Doctor Who when it was centred around London and never really moved elsewhere, so I never felt connected to the locations. Hell, the last time I remember any episode set up north was the Crimson Terror, and that made Yorkshire a generic and faceless place. However, I now feel like Doctor Who appreciates me and where I live much better than any previous season. I mean, in the most recent episode I saw the Arts Tower and Western Bank library, my university’s most iconic buildings, and I can’t describe how amazing it was to see them. So, I know that a lot of people have issues with Chibnall’s run, but for me he’s one of the best things to ever happen to the show.
dr103 That’s so true. I don’t think we’ve seen Cardiff in Doctor Who since Utopia, have we? It really needs to appear more.
Sorry guys......I have to bail. It's been a joy and such a hilarious journey with yall on the previous 10 seasons but I can no longer join you. My feelings on 13 and season 11 are just not strong enough to go through it again.
You lasted longer than me. I stopped watching after the Crimson Horror, Once I found out they were giving up on minisodes after the 50th.

I haven't Watched this video, but I just came to see the comments bash Series 11.
@@robvanriot Also, I just like to try and check up on them, you know?
They may have ticked me off, when they revealed that they're not going to react anymore. Classic Who, but when I was watching the reactions for series 1 through 6, they kind of helped me get through some tough times.
You should check out "Ryan Sinclair dont you dare" remix ("you'll do it if you keep on trying ft. Graham"). Priceless.
They tried to do too much in one episode.
For starters, a season opener has to establish The Doctor and their companion. Eleventh Hour had lots of supporting players, but Amy and Eleven were unquestionably the leads. Here, we have THREE companions who get introduced, not enough time to develop them all, not enough time to build unique relationships with The Doctor and each of them. It’s the difference between Avengers taking their time and DC jumping into the deep end with no prior setup.
You get to know The Doctor via the relationship with the companion, and the relationship just isn’t there. I just didn’t buy it. And my God, the music SUCKS.
you lot really need to watch Broadchurch. well... at least season 1.
Seasons 2 and 3 of Broadchurch may not be as strong as the first one, but they're both still worth watching -- especially season 3.
Jack Simpson yes! Especially to see how many actors they’d recognize.
@@nothanks5752 No kidding. I counted once to see how many actors who were on Broadchurch were also on Doctor Who or one of its spinoffs and I think there were around 25.
Totally agree. Broadchurch is a must watch.
There are a couple episodes this season I'm super excited for you guys to get to!
Also Eric is right, Graham is the shit.
“Ryan Sinclair, don’t you dare!” Still love that meme. This season is solid, with a few standout episodes and some which could have used another scripting pass. Chibnall seems to be pulling it all together, so I’m still enjoying the ride.
You're doin' it mate!

Wow! Been watching since the beginning and you've now officially passed me out. Here's your medal 🏅
I love the style of the video's thumbnail that highlights Season 11.
The individual episodes in this season were okay. Nothing really stood out but I think the show suffered a bit from the sudden shift away from a season narrative. It wasn't necessarily a bad choice but definitely a very jarring one.
its suffered from terrible writing, cardboard characters, terrible music, being overly woke and extremely boring. The showrunner is a hack who acts like he hates DW and everything that was established in the last 50 years.
He wanted to create new villains only to fail at creating even a single one so they had to roll back to memberberries... what a goddman hack.
@@Pir-o That's a harsh opinion. I quite enjoyed the stories and the characters. They were different for sure but I don't think they were terrible. You're free, of course, to not enjoy or watch it but it seemed to do fine because we still have the same characters/showrunner this season which by all accounts I've seen has been quite good.
When people deny it is overly woke, then no one is going to take you seriously.

Sheffield was a world centre of steel and coal and has to remake itself without losing its working class roots. Jodie's accent is Sheffield (ish)

"You're doing it mate" is somehow an extremely funny line to me. I thought this was a good opener for an enjoyable series. Series 11 feels very classic who-ish though, and that didn't please everyone. If you take that, and the established fact that The Doctor Who fandom is a pretty negative one, you get an underrated series. Looking forward to more reactions!

6:54 - Only just realised that Graham’s friend had already appeared in the first episode. He showed up again in the most recent episode. Didn’t realise he had already appeared. Curious to know how Blind Wave will feel about this series and the new era. I don’t think Series 11 is the worst as others do. It’s basically mid tier for me. I don’t think it’s bad but at the same time, I don’t think it’s the most memorable either. I think this opener is genuinely good though. Feels refreshing after the Moffat era but I wish Series 12 had taken its place.
Season 11 felt like Chibs and Co. were worried about confusing small children, so they made sure to explain everything at a Very Basic Level. Maybe they had an edict from on high to step away from Moff’s more baroque storytelling. The current season is better, but they do still contrive to have Jodie explain the theme of the week, as though to a mentally challenged person. I’m still loving the show, though. I adore all the actors and do not want anyone to leave just yet. 😔
This is where the downward spiral begins.🙏
Besides 4, 5, and 10, there isn't really an episode this series I'm actively not looking forward to seeing them react to. Particularly excited for Rosa and Demons, and of course Resolution
thegentleassassin For me it’s The Ghost Monument, Demons of the Punjab, It Takes You Away, Resolution, Spyfall, and Fugitive I’m excited to see them react to.
They are the weakest episodes of Series 11. The finale is definitely the worst as it is very boring, episode 5 is slightly better but the characters are off and episode 4 is just bad writing for the story.
Fun fact: Bradley Walsh (Graham) worked with Peter capaldi and Paul mgann in the 2001 film "Hotel!"
You guys should start watching Broadchurch!
I was not expecting a GassyMexican reference, excellent work Calvin!
Yaz doesn't do much full stop 🤦♀️...I dont know wtf happened with this season but stick with it the next one is better...so far 😁
everytime I see this episode and the first appearance of her screwdriver I can't help but think "heeyyyy ! which cyberman did you steal this finger from ?" x)
Two things.
1. Spielberg and Moffat HAVE worked together, moffat wrote the screenplay for Spielberg's TINTIN film.
2. Eric's impression of Pintel from pirates of the caribbean was ON POINT!
i never watched this again after watching it for the first time (i didn't like it, was too slow for me) but rewatching it kinda with you guys here actually made me like it, i think this series will be one that we might like better in future years as a rewatch.
there's definitely still hope that jodie's run will be loved. i can't stand the first half of s5 with Matt Smith, and i still can't watch the Venice ep because I hate it so much
I've always felt that the actors are doing their best with the shows poor writing and direction from Chibnall. It is very noticeable from the get go that it's lacking compared to people like Steve Moffata era. Doesn't help they go all sjw with this doctor in her first season, it's one of the reasons the rating are at an all time low for DW and the BBC just seems oblivious. I'm slightly pissed because Jodie is a cracking actress and she could be so much better.
What rating? The Series is the second highest of the modern series when it comes to views.
@@thepandorica1660 Jodie's run started at a massive 10.96 million and has dropped viewers every episode to 6.65 at the end of her first season. Then this season started at 6.89 and dropped every episode again down to the current number of 5.22 million. Go google it, check wikipedia or go to the bbc they will all show the same.
Also not even close to being "the second highest of the modern series when it comes to views" The viewing figures have been higher for other Doc's at least seven times with the record viewers at 13.31 million for Tennant in series 4 episode Voyage of the Damned.
Guys. Chris Chibnall was the showrunner on the first two seasons of Torchwood.
I know not everyone likes Jodie as Thirteen and that's fair enough. I personally think she's great and I can't wait to see what the guys think.
Also, you've now been introduced to one of my three favourite companions, Graham.

Well here we go let's get this over and done with
6:33 i am ded
IT'S TIME FOR MY BABY JODIE!!!
I’ve never understood the hate of series 11. Sure, it’s very up and down. But I really liked the music. I thought the first three episodes were strong. And the premise of the series finale was amazing. In a lot of ways, New Who didn’t really get going until the second half of series 3, in terms of consistent quality. People forget the three episodes of farting aliens (series 1) all the gooey eyes between Piper and Tennant in series 2. And how template/cookie cutter it was for a while. First episode, new companion. Second episode, future. Third, back in time. Halfway through series, an episode where the series Big Bad is introduced. And I personally didn’t like most of series 7 (the first half a long goodbye for the Ponds, the second half, saying Impossible Girl over and over again).
I think people are used to the Moffat new doctor episodes. In one episode alone, Smith and Capaldi proved why they are the new Doctor. Eccleston was good in Rose, but it wasn't until Dalek where he began to be a great Doctor. Tennant really didn't do much in The Christmas Invasion, but it was School Reunion that Tennant became the Doctor to me. You're not the only one that didn't care for Season 7. Moffat has said in interviews that Season 7 was his least favorite season due to the uncertain nightmare that was the 50th Anniversary.
Lol what. The farting was a terrible choice but aside from that, those 3 episodes are by far superior to anything that came from series 11. The music in series 11 is bland and monotonous, it's practically the same music throughout. The first episode was awful. A cheap version of Predator. It introduced the Doctor terribly having her fall through a roof and instantly spout techno babble until the end of the episode. She has no chemistry with her companions and by the end of the series, we don't understand why these people like the Doctor and travel with her. They never question her or doubt her. They're basically puppy dogs. The second episode was the one with the flying blankets right? The third episode had potential but ended up being a one note flat entry using racism for conflict in the story without actually exploring racism as a context. Let me improve the episode. Take the bland villain and make him an ancestor of the bus driver. Make it so he wants to stop Rosa Parks because he is persecuted in the future because of what his ancestors did. Actually have some depth to the story. Rosa had no depth. It existed only to show racism, not explore it. Also funny you say the concept for the finale was good because you can't praise the execution. A bland villain with a weak motive, no actual stakes throughout the entire episode. A weird unfocused subplot with two alien things. It's basically an underdeveloped version of Stolen Earth. Series 11 was terrible.
I think folks were expecting series 11 to be like series 1-10. And when it wasn’t (music; dynamic with companions), it was wrong. I looked forward to the music, since the same composer had done a two part documentary about volcanoes that I had seen. And the music wasn’t a space opera like series 1-10, but it was atmospheric and experimental and that’s a good thing. The only thing wrong with the finale was that it was resolved too quickly. If it was a special 90 min episode, it would have more room to breathe. Really, the only serious problems with the entire series was the writing of episode 4 and the lack of stakes in the Tsuranga episode.
@@scottredding7357 I just gave you a list of problems which you ignored. And how can you have the nerve to shit on the Slitheen but be fine with the Pting.... that makes no sense to me.
The problem isn't that it went up and down. The problem was that it stayed right in the middle, and never budged an inch.
Maybe that formula would work in most sitcoms, but not in Doctor Who.
Nice end card music XD
So happy to see the boys see my hometown
This season is pretty meh. Don't let it ruin 13 for you, she's really good.
As much as this season is hated for its writing, Graham is an actually well put together character
"Now we move on to Chris Chibnell... What does he do?" Ruins the entire show would be the short answer.
