Doctor Who Series 9 is a Disaster

Күн бұрын

After over 2 and a half years in the making I can finally say I managed to review every episode of Doctor Who Series 9, a series that I used to be very fond of growing up but as you'll see throughout this video, I very slowly realised I was very very VERY wrong. If you manage to make it to the end of this video it's greatly appreciated as I get not every has a spare 5 hours to watch my nonsense but to those who do thank you very much. ENJOY!

Skaro had already been destroyed before the Time War took place. Seven had destroyed the planet. How it came back later is anybody's guess.

@AroAceGamer 5 ай бұрын

In EU material, it turned out that it wasn't even Skaro that Seven destroyed, but a decoy placed by the Daleks who foresaw the incident during The Dalek Invasion of Earth in the 22nd Century. A scheme going all the way back to Destiny of the Daleks where the Fourth Doctor lands on that same fake Skaro where Daleks were fighting a phony war against the Movellans to trick both the Doctor and Davros at the same time. It's all very convoluted...

Nah, not sitting through someone screaming like a child for 4 hours. From what I have seen, you completely miss the point of DW. The running joke that is Davros and the Master always come back without explanation actually angers you? Grow up. Your grasp of the shows rules of time travel are sketchy too, you're treating it like BTTF time travel when in reality it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly, timey wimey stuff. "Of course Davros wouldn't have the Sonic in Journey's End because at that point in the causal nexus 12 had not interacted with that flux point." I just made that up, but it's exactly the kind of throwaway line the show would use. See if you can't swallow a line of BS like that, you don't get DW. I agree, series 9, and the Moffat era in general isn't perfect. However to become seething with rage over minor plot elements you fail to suspend your disbelief for is not a normal reaction. This video tries to be Jay Exci's "The Fall of Doctor Who" but without the well articulated arguments, story comprehension and you know... the jokes.

Tbf, even if that is true about the causal nexus, the fact that the fans are having to come up with their own headcanon for it says WAY more than it should about the quality of the writers.

@@Obscurite1221 Cause he realised that essentially... Gallifrey returned as no more than that of a plot device to re-do Clara's death moment, which was already handled better by Sarah Dollard in Face the Raven, making Time-War retcon inferior in every single way imaginable, that Rassilon had been ruined as a character and Time-Lords are now simply victims even though this contradicts everything Russell T. Davies had written during the reboot's original tenure concerning how they became corrupted from their own ambitions matching the distructional madness of The Daleks. Nothing feels earned, everything feels wasted and we're supposed to pat Moffat on the back and act as if somehow he's the best writer when he purposely neglects the depth that Russell T. Davies had provided? Moffat's fans are much like himself - style over substance. You see this in his tenure of Doctor Who - you see it in his contempoary series of Jekyll, you see it in his version of Sherlock and the dreadful Neflix Dracula. Moffat is the empitome of style over substance and I'm sick of hearing him being over-praised when Jamie Mathieson, Toby Whithouse and Sarah Dollard can write circles around him when it comes down to character development and a coherent plot.

@@Obscurite1221Heaven Sent is great, Hell Bent verifiably reduces Time-Lords into goody goody victims by lazily pinning all their evil ambitions on simply Rassilon alone when again majority of the council voted in favor of his tactics and goals cause the nature of the time war twisted them. Argumentum ad-populum doesn't change the fact Moffat's halfassed retcons completely contradict and negate everything that was written prior fundamentally breaking that lore beyond repair replacing it with something that's childish in comparison. Also yes, more often than not people tend to gravitate towards style over substance you've proved my point. McDonald's isn't healthy for you and yet it's more popular than a five star resturant. Why? Style over substance. Branding over substance. Dichotomies - an explicit good or bad, anything inbetween is usually considered messy for a lot of people and not popular.

@MrFancyDragon 5 ай бұрын

Personally, my issue with Series 9 is that it sits at a bookend of a 5 season run of Doctor Who where there is no way to jump in and get into it. Clara came in Series 7b and stayed for the next Doctor, making series 8 directly “connected” in the sense that you have to watch 7b to know Clara. This era had already started at Series 5 so… 5 seasons is a very hefty order to ask anyone to remotely get into the show. Series 9 just ain’t beginner friendly. It doesn’t help at all that nearly every story takes up more than one episode. It’s a tall order and it drags too long.

@TA-zq3ez 5 ай бұрын

Lmao what. His companion is about to die, he literally can't do anything about it, and you are complaining that 12 is begging for her life? Why is showing compassion for a person he loves wrong for his character? I'm willing to bet every incarnation has a scene like this. 10 begs for Donna's life to the supreme dalek for instance. Your criticisms are getting worse and worse the more I get into the video.

@TA-zq3ez 5 ай бұрын

Daleks only have 1 emotion which is hate, which you showed with the 9th Doctor explaining it in Dalek. Missy says that emotions fire the gun. So why is it hard to comprehend that daleks use their hatred to fire? How could you not acknowledge that?

@laosylucy 5 ай бұрын

(i've not actually seen the video yet so this could be addressed but) I don't think it's ever CONFIRMED that the child Davros scene was on Skaro but it's a fair assumption. In Genesis of the Daleks, the Kaled people assume that the 4th Doctor, Sarah, and Harry, are Thals because they don't know about alien life yet. If their civilisation hadn't figured out space travel yet, its hard to believe that the battle child Davros was in wasn't on Skaro. It'd mean Davros would have to have been transported from a different planet before reaching adulthood (which is possible but its just a bit more complicated and not really shown). So I think its safe to assume that the child Davros scene was on Skaro during a Kaled v Thal battle. I agree with everything else you said though! I personally love series 9 and especially this two-parter and (again ive not seen the video) these are some wild nitpicks for the video to make lol
