NOW I NEED THE GENE GENIE TO PLAY DOCTOR WHO!!! He would honestly be perfect

Agree with basically all of these, especially with you being the Doctor OwO Also, my most unpopular opinion regarding Doctor Who would probably be that I think series 2 is miles better than series 3-

So, I agree with all of these, but no, not all of the Moffat series arcs are let downs. I wonder which story I’m being incredibly biased toward right now. But this video was straight fire man, good job.

great video my guy

I think what you are missing about Classic Who is how these weren’t meant to be binged, they were to be shown mostly once. There was character development in Classic Who, obviously Hartnell, then Colin Baker meant to have it too, but was cut short. You are looking at it from modern viewpoint, while you should view it more from the point of how TV was made back then.

I just realized that The Silurians don’t actually appear until Episode 3...

I went into ashes to ashes because of the quattro and came out all Gean Genie

That classic who rant, never before have I felt so hurt and offended by something I completely agree with. I mean I love the classic show but yeah, from a modern context it is a bit outdated in it’s format and storytelling. However, when you were talking about arcs, I feel like you neglected Hartnell a bit as I think he probably had the most consistent and interesting character arc of the classic series, starting off like any arrogant and inhuman Timelord and slowly forming into a character that’s more recognisably the Doctor we all know and love. Sure it’s mostly in the background and a tiny bit retroactive but it’s definitely more tangible than whatever arc Davison had.

Tbh about the classic who stuff, yeah it’s somewhat lower in quality to the new who stuff, but I feel like you’re applying a 21st century perspective of TV against a 20th century one. It’s easy to call out Classic who to be paced poorly but that’s consuming it in the way we do now, e.g binging the whole serial at once rather than one episode, a week passes, another episode etc. Pace can’t really be directly comparable in this case

As much as I would love to write an angry paragraph explaining why you are wrong (in my opinion) we both know this is the internet and we can’t change each others minds, So instead I will respect your opinion and leave here with my dignity.

I don’t mind capaldi era. Can’t stand the kiddy tone for Matt smith though

I love classic who but new who is a lot better. Tom baker is my second favorite doctor though (my all time favorite is tennant). Also romana II is my favorite classic companion. Sarah jane is overrated

I think if you watch an entire (or even more than one part) of a classic story, at once, then the pace is slow, because it wasn't designed to be watched one part straight after the other. If you watch a story, spread throughout a day, it's much better paced (assuming you watch more than one part at once, as that's what I use to do, when I thought the pacing was bad). Some stories of course (not many, though) are still paced quite bad, but not many at all, just like the new series.

The character of Missy must have to be the next Doctor.

Yeah... Capaldi tried to regen and just exploded and died... Shame

My favourite classic Who assistants are 1) Ace 2) Leela.

Even gene hunt could not save doctor who from chibnall

the 10th doctor's arc is a massive imitation of 7's in the VNAs though granted those were novels. Embarrassing moments? Oh so like every time any of the new who doctors open their mouths... whenever they make the doctor out to be space Jesus... the many many times episodes will just throw out their narrative potential to look 'clever'... the mass amount of overt preaching... the cringe worthy fan wanking... the forced drama... also the new who companions are all far too similar and are pretty boring, the classic companions are far more interesting and unique on background alone, Ace is miles better than some god awful teenager trying to get into bed with a centuries old alien. Leela is as well. And Sarah Jane just screaming? Riight. And I bet you like bloody River Song. This is the problem with the modern show, it is a fundamentally different thing than the classic series. The classic show is a series of self contained stories that exist to develop a setting, a few central ideas and are carried together by reoccurring characters (many of whom do have arcs btw but whatever). The show has a strong thread of horror elements and has far more out there ideas and concepts. The modern show is a continuous story that is centered on soap style melodrama and constantly one upped grand scale stakes, the individual stories and settings exist only to carry the overarching dramatics. You're looking at a series of sci fi adventure stories focused on ideas and building worlds and comparing it to a long running soap opera with sci fi adventure elements. There isn't anything wrong with either thing but they simply are not the same thing.
