Completely agree. Especially at how bad and nonsensical 73 yards was. And I also felt that Ncuti at the end of Dot and Bubble was the only moment he truly felt like the Doctor. I could literally picture every other Doctor reacting in that same way. But overall, this season felt like such a waste. The 9th Doctor had one season (and an actual reboot season at that), and he made the most of it. And other companions had one season, and made the most of it. 15 and Ruby did not make the most of their time. And I don't believe their relationship as meaningful.

I thought the season finale was worse than Chibnall's writing.

Ruby feels a lot like season 7 Clara imo

Really enjoyed the video. It sums up how I feel. I was so optimistic when RTD came back, and had high hopes for Ncuti as the Doctor, but there's just been so many missteps taken that I honestly do fear for the future of the show now. I'm not one of these people who cried about woke and said. R.I.P Who, but everything just feels a bit bleak now. The series as a whole felt incoherent, Ncuti never brought that gravitas and wit to the role that other modern Doctors have, and even the best episodes had sloppy writing. I'm just so disappointed. My daughter really likes it, so I'll keep watching it with her, but I don't have heart to let on to her quite how poor I found it.

I think " the twist " in devil's chord was ok but it's placement in the episode is utterly horrendous - had it been the song that defeated the mistro or at the start of the episode rather than ruining the ending I might have actually gone back to rewatch it , since the episode without " the twist " is a pretty decent follow up for the giggle.

Everything you said was completely on point. Out of all the episodes Boom was my favorite. I gotta be honest. This soured almost the whole season for me. I feel like Russell T Davies basically mocked the audience for even theorizing Ruby's origins were anything extraordinary. I saw people speculating she was related to the Doctor, or she was created by the Lord of Fiction, or she was the daughter of Toymakers sister who was the queen of Time. All those theories would've been so much better. RTD said the Timeless Child would feed into the dynamic with Ruby, it didn't. He also said he'd do something with it and based on the 60s specials I thought the events of the Flux would come up. Basically I thought This entire thing was building towards the Doctor being at fault for all this happening, since the Flux and Wilde Blue Yonder. I thought fifteens arc was supposed to be making up for ruining the Universe by letting these gods in. RTD said the tales of the Tardis would make sense after this and it didn't. How did the memory Tardis exist? Why were past versions of the Doctor meeting past companions? Dunno f#@* me right? I thought Ruby would have some kind of power over memories, create the memory Tardis to help the Doctor and give him closure with his past lives to energize him to defeat Sutekh. Nope Jesus Christ! I also thought maybe Sutekh would be her father and Her mom pointed at him to warn him to stay away from her or the Doctor by bringing him to her. Nope she was pointing at a sign. TF is going on? And apparently Sutekh was on the Tardis since Tom baker but The Tardis never tried warning the Doctor or she didn't shake it off when The Tardis exploded, imploded, got her soul placed in a human body, became a paradox machine etc? Yeah right. I just feel like all Russell did, everything he's done since he's been back has been, well because he could. "Doctor who isn't supposed to make sense dont think about it too hard." He completely just talked down to us the entire time. "Like oh If anyone's upset grow up it's Doctor who ". I can't believe everyone gave Moffat so much bs because Davies isn't any better. I grew up on Moffat so never had rose tinted glasses for RTD. And if next season's are anything like this I might have to step out. And I really don't want to. Ncuti and Millie deserved so much better.

I'm ngl this video was a good effort but I feel a bit disappointed that the analysis was so shallow and surface level. You are entitled to your opinion ofc and this video is very well made, good job on that front but I feel you could've gone deeper to really explain why you feel this way Edit: for an example so you know what I mean- your section on dot and bubble is around 1 minute long and half of it is dedicated to a minor gripe that doesn't matter and the other is dedicated to a good scene at the end. Going a little bit deeper would help us the audience understand why you like/don't like something

That's a shame that your last dr who video was taken down again. I enjoyed this review, though I havent watched much after the 10th doctor, these last few seasons don't inspire confidence to go back to the show, which is a shame.

I honestly really enjoyed this season but with the bad finale & reduced ep count, it really just sours you on the rest of the thing. I'll definitely be checking out the Christmas special cuz Moffat but still cautious on the rest. And I'm glad the comments are filled with genuine criticism instead of "wOkE".

it would of been better if Ruby was River's/Doctors child. this would of made sense of "there is a song deep inside her", her connection with the doctor, him saying "i know my granddaughter but i haven't meet my children yet. life of a timelord", also her connection with making it snow would of made some sense. would of made sense of them bringing up Susan so much. like that would be her future child that already traveled with the doctor. Also it would of made a good end to River all together.

Personally I like the three episode stretch of Boom, 73 Yards and Dot and Bubble, but everything else was either bad or just alright, I’d say this season also really needed to be longer as there was no time to get invested in Ruby or her fairly disappointing storyline.

There are two reasons why people like 73 Yards. The first is that it's the best of a bad bunch. Everybody knows it's not a great episode compared to when Doctor Who was actually good. However, compared to the rest of the trash in this season, it looks like a masterpiece. People are using the rest of this specific season as a point of comparison, not Doctor Who as a whole. The second reason is that Millie Gibson can actually act. Ncuti Gatwa can only play Ncuti Gatwa. Millie Gibson isn't just playing herself. Despite the shitty writing, she goes out of her comfort zone, which is what any actress should do.

I'm out now, not even the hardest Dr Who can watch this tripe.

POLITICAL CORRECTNESS GET`S A KICKING AS THE SHOW ROLLS INTO THE LONG GRASS, WERE NO ONE CARES WHICH RABBIT HOLE IT DROPS IN

people did call the sue tech thing in the fandom though

Why did I stop watching Doctor Who I became a fan of Doctor Who around September of 1977 when my roommate introduced the show to me. My first Doctor Who story was “The Brain of Morbius” part one. (Season 13, serial 5) The Doctor was Tom Baker, and Elisabeth Sladen was his companion Sarah Jane Smith. There were elements of Gallifreyan history and it talked about regeneration. Directed by Christopher Barry, written by "Robin Bland" (Terrance Dicks rewritten by Robert Holmes), script editor Robert Holmes, and produced by Philip Hinchcliffe. One of the greatest teams in Doctor Who history. Has to be one of the better first stories for any newcomer. I stayed a fan of Doctor Who, watching when I could and reading any book I could find about the show, pre-internet, and Doctor Who stories, pre-VHS. I had no issues with a female Doctor. Counting the War Doctor, there were 13 incarnations, which was the established limit. We know that other Timelords had survived the Time War. The Doctor knowing his time is at the end runs across a female Time Lady and takes her on as his student. At the time of his death, he passes on all his knowledge and memories by telepathic contact. That didn’t happen, because as some of us recognized at the time and we all know now showrunner Chris Chibnall was more interested in checking as many WOKE boxes as he was in the show. It seems Russell T. Davis has the same goal this time around. Not being happy with the way, a female Doctor was introduced was not enough for me to stop watching Doctor Who. I got the DVD set when it came out. (That is how I view Doctor Who) Overall I felt Jodie Whittaker did a good job as the Doctor. Any fault anyone can have with her can be placed on Chibnall. He made the same mistake that was made by John Nathan-Turner did with Peter Davison. Three companions are too much when introducing a new Doctor, especially the first female Doctor. The only person who benefited from Chibnall's time as showrunner is JNT. He will no longer be remembered by some fans as the worst showrunner in the history of the show. Timeless Child is the story that ended Doctor Who for me. Chibnall completely destroyed what canon there was, and he turned the Timelords into child molesters. “The Doctor Who Timeless Child retcon subtly erases a classic legend.” screenrant.com/doctor-who-timeless-child-retcon-other-tecteun/ I have not completely given up on Doctor Who. I am so thankful for Big Finish. I believe the only way Davis can save the show is to pull a trick from “Dallas” and bring Whittaker back for a dream episode and erase her last two seasons or use Gatwa to erase the last three.

For me only the finale was bad, RTD didn't do right, but the season in general was good, way superior than Chibnal's era

I agree that are a lot of issues with the show. The real problem, with the show, I feal like is the amount of episodes per season. And the writer, like seriously can't they just get an American writer.

I really don't know about this era honestly, I enjoyed it more then you did, but the feeling is mutual

Bro reeeeeeaaallly missed the point of 73 yards, worst take on it I’ve ever seen. Yapping about how it doesn’t make sense when it does, he just didn’t get it

lightning never strikes twice.

All that money and they ued a bungee cheal to buy rope to apparently keep control of an ultim ate god. Seriosuly!

Agreed with most of your episode analysis. All RTD's worst traits to the fore - rabbits out of the hat, love conquers all, sledge hammer political messaging - but worse still was the sheer sloppiness of the writing. 73 Yards felt chilling to begin with, but unravelled the further it went, and actually became insulting by the end - as did the series itself. The two old Rubies were played by different actresses. My feeling is the next series will turn all this on its head and we'll discover this is all an alternative reality. Or (gulp) a dream... By the way, I really like Ncuti as an actor and as the Doctor. Millie Gibson is not bad, but both were ill-served by the characterisations, artistic decisions (Dr-lite and the feckin musical numbers!) and awful plotlines. Ruby is ordinary so we're all special! Except the Doctor, of course, who's the feckin Timeless Child from nowhere and a (feared / hated) god even to the Time Lords. Honestly, there's still the occasional good episode, but Doctor Who jumped the shark after Capaldi left. What a waste.

20:52 along with your 73 yards point, yeah it doesn't basically say "oh yeah there's 2 Sutekh's now" 24:08 yeah Doctor Who's always had supernatural elements but I think it should keep them low level or at least still kind of sci-fi

I cannot understand a complaint such as, "Sutekh appeared in the classic series, so new viewers today won't know who he is and will be confused." Well guess what... In Pyramids of Mars in 1975, all viewers watching then HAD NO IDEA WHO SUTEKH WAS!!! Those viewers watched the story and learned. Gosh, sort of the way new viewers watching Empire of Dreck LEARNED! Otherwise, good wrap-up review.

I Liked All of Them Season One Was Amazing

It was not a bad series, it just wasn't a great series. The start and ending flopped it, but the middle was perfectly acceptable Who.

Hopefully Series 2 will not make the same mistakes as Series 1? Hopefully 15 won't continue to be a big cry-baby? The writers/production will learn from the mistakes of Series 1. NEWSFLASH: Series 2 has already completed filming! Only special effects, music and the like left to accomplish. Series 2 had no chance of learning from the mistakes of Series 1. It's going to be a continuation. 😢

Completely agree

I've given up on the show again. The chibnall era made the turn it off, and trying to sit through the garbage they put out this season did not bring me back. It's over. It's done. Get it off TV. Let it rest for another decade and maybe someone who actually cares about it can bring it back and make it worth watching again.

Considering this is the only negative Season 1 review I've seen, it's safe to say the reviews are mostly positive.

I enjoyed the middle of the series but the first two episodes and finale where extremely mid. On one side I am glad to see better representation but RTD also has this problem of "Overcorrecting" such as the Davros retcon where he created a problem that didn't really exist before, the Sonic screwdriver stuff, the awful "Male presenting time lord" line which made me as a trans person cringe or the sutekh cultural appropriation line which made me roll my eyes. He does good things on the casting and I loved the sutble twist about racism in dot and bubble but he also does what I like to call stupid RTD shit from time to time. Sadly I feel this more naunced criticism gets lost because there is a huge market for youtube channels screaming about "Everything I don't like is woke reeee!" Also eight episodes is far too little, I miss having a good meaty two parter that wasn't just the series finale plus with two doctor light episodes we never had a lot of time to get to know 15.

Agreed.

Morya farty😂

I stopped watching it after jodie left i liked jodie as a doctor her story line i didnt like but this series with the new doctor I really hate dont like thr new doctor at all. Wjll never watch it again only seen one episode of the new series as the doctor wasnt in it he told fans to touch grass we did

As classic fan I always assume when someone says RTD1 was their favourite that that is where they started and they're getting the standard *my era* boost. For me it's always the Moffat era - Hinchcliffe and Moffat. So fortunately I wasn't expecting anymore than an improvement over Chibnall, no rose tinted glasses on me. So I wasn't expecting a lot - but I actually still was disappointed - I prefer Chibnall. It's still better than season 24 though.

Don't you think it funny the best episode are when the doctor wasnt in them

Waaa new thing bad

I’m just going to say, some of your criticisms are just bad. I also think that this is the worse Season of since 2005, not counting Chibnial. For starters while yes I agree 15 cries too much, that isn’t his only quality. Ncuti does a great job showing a lot of the different emotions of the Doctor. When it comes to this Doctor we haven’t gotten much for a character study of him and that I think is unfortunate, I get it is annoying, but I wouldn’t write her off. When it comes to your complains about Ruby, you could apply that to most Doctor Who companions. They never really go into building up the relationship, what matters typically is the dynamic they have. I’d say Ruby works really well with 15, although the exit felt very forced. To be 15 and Ruby helped carry a lot of this season, because the Christmas Special and The 1st Episode weren’t good. I liked the 2nd Episode for the most part. LOVED BOOM and it is a CLASSIC MUST WATCH. I agree with your issues with 73 Yards because they never answer any questions and completely switch to a different villain. Also this is a minor thing, but stop saying that Roger is the most dangerous Prime Minister because remember when The Master destroyed the Earth. I think Dot and Bubble needed more time because they never get me to care about any other than Ricky because they are a bunch of rich spoiled brats, it could of been good but that made it ok. Then when it comes to Rogue, it was fine, was it dumb that shows keep trying to ignore the very big racism from the Elitist British people, yes. Doctor Who tends to do this at times, and when needing to handle stories in the past I get it. Also Rogue isn’t just New Jack, my big issue with him is he feels more like another Doctor and they moved past him being a bounty hunter far too quickly. When it comes to Legend of Ruby Sunday and Empire of Death I feel Sutekh’s return is similar to The Master where they build him up but it felt ending Empire was like most Doctor Who Finales rushed. It isn’t an excuse, but let’s stop acting like that is unique. Also about Rose, she is the most waisted character in Doctor Who, I feel like she is brought in, just to be their. With the Ruby Mystery, this was a bad ending. If it was something that Ruby would only focus on than maybe, but when she makes it snow something the Doctor hasn’t seen before, or something that scares a god, then that is just bad. I liked the video, even if I didn’t agree with some of your criticisms, I want the show to be better and hope in the future it is.

I didn’t really like this season because it’s not like doctor who at all and it needs to be changed back to what it was before and never do this again.

every time you say MY OPINION am gonna sip tea. the my opinion drinking game. the crying is emotiive and hits at really special moments and really translates his feeling. Your issue with a man crying is....odd. He's absolutely not boring or bland, so ya completely wrong there. Tom bakers doctor once said "theres no point in being grown up if you cant be childish sometimes" he's not childish all the time, and we've seen a sneak peack at the darkness coming out every so often. The musical number was awesome, and its strange you dont like musicals when most scifi shows are essentially musicals, music makes the theme. Space babies was a very very very silly episode ahah. The music number was very silly and fun, and you can keep repeating the line, theres lots of songs that do that, its a thing. it happens because the magic is still in the air. The 4th wall breaks are really fun, its not "crap" Boom was great! finally we agree. your minor thing is blah, we know he's going to be ok, but he doesn't. We are seeing is episode. 73 yards was very much out side the box and hugely imginative, the atmosphere, the story, the music, the villian was spectacular. PART OF THE MSYERY IS not knowing what she said, not specificly knowing was such a great idea to creatre suspense. the not knowing everything gives it extra, and your not suppose to make sense of it, this is the new era and new rules of reality of things not making sense. its a great episode. "nothing special about ruby" we've had enough hero companions, we've had the chosen one ARC, so why cant we just have a normal person? the idea of them projecting that SHE'S SO SUPER IMPORTANT makes sense in this new reality. anyway, am done here. Ive got a general idea of what your critising and alot of it is either really petty stuff or just stuff you can'[t seam to grasp. good day sir.

I disagree Season 1 / Series 14 is a Good season

For a show about change some Doctor Who fans really don't like change, huh.

Gatwa's Doctor is a wimpy sad and cringy man who should be wiped from the canon. That's what will happen when I'm showrunner

Jodie, Tennant 2 and Gatwa aren't canon, never have been, never will be. We must hate them and soon they will be wiped

If dont like change was a person

So...your criticism of the finale is that they brought back one of the best remembered and most iconic villains of the last 60 years, but you, supposedly a fan, didn't know who he was? Get over yourself! Your ignorance does not change the fact that for most of us who've actually watched the classic series, this was a big deal! Also, the fourteenth Doctor 's story is done, that's been made clear. Forget him. Also, the greatest era of Doctor Who was the Tom Baker era. Educate yourself, child! And we classic fans are not "a subsection of the fan base". We ARE the fan base!
