ROFL - Exactly. Moffat makes good writing seem effortless.

Too true mate.

@@Me__Myself__and__I And people used to complain about his writing. Y'know, sometimes it seems Doctor Who showrunners are like US presidents: oftentimes the public mocks and ridicules the current one, but then someone else comes in and people think back to the "good old days" of the president/showrunner they used to relentlessly slam and roast.

@@commenterjosh2428 Nah, not quite. When Moffat took over his previous stories were some of the best & most popular in the Davies era. When Chibnall took over his previous stories were either forgotten or not very well liked. The fan base was split on Moffat. But I doubt you could find 10% of the long-time fan base who actually likes Chibnall as a writer.

@@Me__Myself__and__I Yeah, that's right.

It makes me hurt for both really it reveals so much for both of them

And if only Moffat would write for 13 maybe we can see if shes actually capable of playing the role and finally get a good script

Nah Russell T Davies was the best writer

Moffat is overrated, Russell T Davies is the best.

@@71hammyman A lot of RTD's episodes were cringefests.

So he is the real Blofeld lol.

@@giangonzales5912 He's even got the looks for it, only the scar over the eye is missing!

I can just hear this. In Moffat's voice exactly this.

Well... actually, a girl trapped in the dark not knowing where she is... that's a Steven Moffat thing that goes back to an episode of 'Press Gang' in 1989. A girl trapped under rubble after a gas explosion. That broke my heart when I was a kid...

@@petersvillage7447 😞

Well, look on the bright side. This new story cries out for fan-fiction continuation, to the extent I'd almost think it was the intention. There will be a thousand new stories in which Reinette lives again in a new body...

Why you gotta ruin it like that 😂

She's more like the OG Amy. The girl who waited.

Dream on. He certainly broke Dr Who. What, another well-meaning malfunctioning machine? How original...

@@LukasOfTheLight I think BBC America and Netflix had something to do with that.

Steven Bailey well RTD made doctor who popular, Moffat just tried to break America in series 6 which led to people discovering the show from series 1 and moffats subsequent series’s

ArtNPhotographyPics27Insta he didn’t make the show more popular he merely brought it to the attention of America

@@CardiffOneOne erm Chris Chibnall ruined the show 🙄

You would end up with a human pompadour and computer Pompadour!

@@honoradele Not if it took place after the events of the episode. In which case the human version is gone. But the computer memory core is still out there, spinning along with the empty vessel.

Or in the Library, with River and Doctor Moon (who Moffat said could be The Doctor)

@@therottenlemon5048 River would be okay with that, I think

They were doing this years ago

Not only does Moffat break your heart. He grabs it, twists it, yanks it out, break it, puts it back in and then breaks you😭

Same.

Ok, this was not what I expected! ☹️

Oh my god, so sad. This was my favorite all-time episode before Heaven Sent. This ending, having her consciousness perpetually trapped in a derelict spaceship is heart breaking. Its also brilliant writing.

These are technically not the same people. The historic Madam Du Pompadour seemingly did live a normal life after the interaction with The Doctor, but the interaction confused a ship's AI quite a lot.

@@jtbwilliams Huh... I can live with that 🤔 But the AI is still abandoned. You could argue an AI can't feel though.

@@violetthunter This one clearly does...

@@silviasanchez648 It seems that way, yeah. My heart is broken wether it's "just" an AI or Reinette's consciousness

It could be both in a way but I think there's clear indications it's only the ship but you could pick either of them to feel this way because as far as the episode went with the real madame we see her thoughts and her end could this be the computer after all these years breaking from the doctor's interaction

Thank you Violett! You can hear the music on my KZfaq channel now :)

James Jarvis This track is absolutely gorgeous!! Thank you so much James!! 💙💙💙

Not even dead: a machine thinking it's a living being, waiting for someone who doesn't know it exists. And nobody ever investigated the loss of this ship, with the people and crew.

Horrified that somebody thought the FoB one was a good idea.

@Najawin I... can’t tell if that’s sarcastic or not. Which honestly makes it all the better.

When Russel T Davies took over he showed us the the cost to those the Doctor leaves behind while he/she goes on his/her way.

@@samuelreinders5840 the FoB one was a great idea. Especially considering twelves final speech it would make sense this new doctor would hold love and hope in her heart above all else, so giving one final chance to a being that has so little time left is a fitting thing for the doc to do. Especially if it takes place post the loss of gallifrey for her

@@charlespettit7149 That thing murdered a little girl and took her form and anyone in her way. unforgiven.

Only Moffat can do something like that

How could they do this?! I already thought her story was so sad, and then they do this😢

I know...I thought I would be fine watching this. Bloody hell, what do I know?

Yes, it gave me similar vibes, but sadder.

Thanks man! The music is available to listen to on my channel now :)

@@jamesjarviscomposer that answered my earlier question. It's so fantastic I want to keep listening to it!

😮 👍👏

You worked on this? GREAT JOB. Truly exceptional.

Yep. I thought it would be some loophole the Doctor found to make contact with her once more without unraveling the timestream. Like visiting young Amelia one last time, even after her whole story had been written. I actually like this as a haunting alternative, though. :)

God, I miss Murray Gold. The music for the Thirteenth Doctor just fades into nothing compared to Gold's scores of previous stories...

@@jasongreenwood8080 The fact that they fired Murray Gold disgusts me. His music is such a huge part of what makes Doctor Who what it is.

I mean RTDs and Moffats eras were laden with politics, but the difference was, they were (for the most part) cleverly integrated into the plot, rather than "amazon bad, Hindus can marry muslims, and let's stop a space future racist" I mean RTD wrote stories in series 1, about humanity stagnating from fake news, then from game shows, and an two partner abour fat, farting, power hungry, capitalistic and tyrannical aliens in 10 downing street, but his era was subtle, chibnalls isnt Doctor who has always been political, especially classic who

@@matthewlacey4198 if what you got from those episodes is, "Amazon bad, Hindus can marry Muslims, and stopping a space racist" you sincerely missed the point and everything that happened both with the partition as well as the American civil rights moments lol. None of those episodes are even about what you said. The only thing we do agree with is Dr who has always been political. Rosa, is a hopeful message that kindness perseveres even against the worst of people, ending with the Rosa asteroid all in a fresh look at American civil rights. The racist isn't even the focus of the episode, the focus is that when faced with history all the Dr is stuck doing is witnessing and sometimes taking part in. "Hindus can marry Muslims" did you even watch the episode that's literally not it at all? This like the Rosa episode is when faced with bloody history, not even the Dr can save the family of someone she cares for, and is stuck just watching while it breaks her hearts whole. The episode is not about Amazon, the main point is that automation stagnating humanity and leading to us no longer being in control essentially. Similar in a way to smile, except it is how a bad person can turn something essential against us. Once again, did you even pay attention when watching the episodes?

@@charlespettit7149 but why include a villain in Rosa if he was gonna be a bland space racist? I'd have preferred no villain at all, pure historical, same for Demons of the Punjab, it didnt need weird guardian angel aliens, go pure historical there too, just tighten up 13s speech at the end and you've got that hopeful story you referred to The Kerblam episode was flawed in so many ways, let's be honest, she sees an exploited worker's plan to reform capitalism, and what does she do? Stands idly by while he blows himself up, and aligns herself with the corrupt, exploitative system which led him to that point, it's almost as bad as her wanting to give the giant spiders a "humane" death by suffocation and starvation, rather than the Trump caricature's suggestion of a bullet to the head, yeah it's more direct and involved but its quicker and more humane I just dont agree with how 13s morality and ethics are written, Punjab and Rosa should've been pure historicals, I'd have respected Chibnall's creative vision a little more if he changed the formula up slightly I do admit that my summaries of the episodes were oversimplifications, but I was pointing out the things I didn't like, rather than what I thought worked

@@matthewlacey4198 I believe that is kind of the point and beauty of Rosa. No matter what, no matter how hateful this person is, they are that inconsequential. No matter how much they try and plan they never win and cannot do anything to stop progress. And I think that goes for real life as well. No matter how much these people hate, they just don't matter at all. The thijarians we're very important to the theme of the episode. The episode starts essentially with a lost memory between yaz and her grandma. And the doc against her better judgment wants to help. Not sure if you know about partition, but many many people and families were destroyed with no one to look over them or remember, much like the thijarian home world. So their penance is to watch over the dead with no one left to. Quite fitting and sad for the context of the episode imo. And you know, that episode made me look more into partition. Which I'm sure more people did too and that's the point of media to bring these up and make you think imo. Her speech on love is one of the most beautiful and brilliant bits of Dr who since it's restarted, it's not the Dr yelling at some aliens or humans making them afraid. It's the Dr, doing what he set out to, inspire hope and help people, as well as be that silent watcher. And I think the aliens are important as well, much like twice upon a time, it shows the Dr isn't alone in what she does. It's funny you bring up the spiders, I'm a big fan of star trek and the prime directive I believe is much the similar as what the Dr follows. And so letting creatures created thru the folly of someone live out the rest of their time instead of just slaughtering them is very fitting for the doctors character, do you know how many genocides the Dr has seen? Do you think she wants to see another?

@@matthewlacey4198 thank you for admitting you very much oversimplified what the episodes are about, and in the process missed the mark. Also, she didn't stand idly by, she begged him not to. He went there himself knowing they would blow. He was very much unhinged and seriously no talking sense into him even though the doctor had another beautiful speech. Also, she definitely doesn't align herself with this malignant corporation. She even turns down a position. However, what she does do is give them a better viewpoint on people and what workers need which is very much important for companies to realize, especially after/still during the COVID pandemic. Literally the last thing they say to her is they will hire more workers and better rights etc which is as best as could happen there. I enjoyed the kerblam episode personally except Kiras death 😢. The first season is very important in building this new doctor and where she stands. With resolution imo cementing her as the Dr and showing how far she'd go to stop the Daleks and save someone. All bundled together with a very touching story of a bad father trying to make right, and a son who's lost so much yet still inspired by a friend to keep trying. And in so doing he rekindles the relationship with his father which is very touching.

and her father just died, too, from the virus. she's so strong

Ditto. This was my favorite all time episode until Heaven Sent came out, now its #2. Such a perfect story for Tennant, could you see any of the other Doctor's pulling this episode off? Just like Heaven Sent was perfect for Capaldi. Such great writing.

Moffat wrote it lol

@@alexdlocoa Of course.

But without her Lonely Angel...

Hes best as a hobby writer, not a show runner. He likes to take his time making every minute count, not filling up an entire season.

@@grey8288 I must say I disagree. While he certainly has some annoying "Moffatisms", as a show runner he took the show to some very exciting new places. In general I found his format more exciting than Davies's or Chibnall's.

@@alexandertaylor7316 Watching paint dry is more fun than watching Chibnall's.

Maybe he just needed some time off from Who. He could be show runner again and get in more guest writers to do the ideas and heavy lifting. Move away from massive story arcs and just do a couple seasons of really good individual tails. Having Moffat involved to select the scripts that get made, do story editing and basically keep everything together so that its fun and makes sense would be great.

@@alexandertaylor7316 agreed. However, I will always love the RTD era as it gave me the Doctor that made me a Whovian. Good ol' sandshoes.

me too. very emosh

Because he's just that good at writing and because he could.

So, did you? Honest question. I know I did...
