Once they make you hate what you loved, it's not easy for them to make you love it again.

Chris Tucker in The Fifth Element was supposed to be a parody, not an instruction manual!

Little story time. Back when Jodie Whittaker took over the role of the Doctor I did a search for "Dr Who Sucks" and that's how I found Gary/Nerdrotic. True story. Watching Gary has saved me seasons of agony now and I'm thankful.

"Member Tennant azza Doctor? Member Donna?" All they've got left is memberberries. The barrel is scraped. The cash cow has dried up.

When you cannot create, you co-opt, and destroy... That also happens to be Satan's M.O.

Nerdrotic: "Do you seriously believe your own hype that much?" Jodie Whittaker: "I AM THE HYPE!"

I really miss being excited about Doctor Who

I always love when Gary tacos about Doctor Who.

"...fuck it, it's dead". Just cracked me up!

Its like someone you loved who cheated on you, asking you out after spending years with someone else, while having that other person's name tattooed down their arm, wearing an "I love other person" t-shirt. Its the same show but so much has happened that any love has been crushed and you don't want to be hurt like that again.

They cant undo the timeless children.

The Dr Who Twitter account hid my replies calling Rose “son” LOL

Yeah wasn't expecting anything good to happen They killed it Peter Capaldi was the last Doctor RIP DW

Tom Baker will always have been the best Doctor, regardless. His companions were the best, too.

Gary really trusted shirtless Sisqó, to carry on Doctor Who after the BBC destroyed it?

Doctor Who has become like watching a victim get tortured to death and bleed out, while the torturer sticks a band aid on the gushing open wounds and expecting the victim to live.

I only watch the classic Dr. I'm not spending any time on the modern trash version.

The Star Beast is one of the most warmly remembered comic strips from when DWM was a weekly, back in 1980. So it's a solid foundation to build the first of the three specials on.

You know how Doctor Who show is desperate when it brought back David Tenant as The Doctor once again after regeneration.

At this point, seeing Tennant as The Doctor would be more heartbreak than celebration. I'm not going to bother with this. Maybe if I hear good things about it, I'll watch it later on. But I'll definitely be watching for Gary and Az's takes on it.

Best thing about the interview was the Studio Ghibli music in the background, Sorry Doctor Who is dead, its dead Dave

Best doctors to me were Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker, so those will always be my go to DR Who episodes.

I remember watching that live stream, and at the exact "oh fuckkk" moment when we started hearing "they are an alien" I had the exact same reaction as you. And when Ncuti started saying "It's about identity" all my joy just faded.

Anyone else sick of hearing about "marginalized people"? It's eye rollingly tedious.🙄

That creature eating the ship just seems like a copy of Nibbler from Futurama.

Russel T Davies is no more a savior than feloni and Favreu are with Star Wars. This is the same mistake made with picard, people will claim its black pilled but MAYBE the aneversery special will be ok, passable, or even meh, but in the end its too little to late. David tennant is a great Doctor but i think we all knkw what comes next.

it just doesn't matter... The Doctor is not a Time Lord... Not from Gallafrey... He has unlimited regenerations (how did the Time Lords give him more if he is who gave them the power in the first place?) So no reason to ever watch this show again. I guess at least Chris Chibnal will at least be able to tell his grandkids that he single-handedly killed a show that had lasted for 60 years. What an acheivement!

I checked out before Capaldi was even done. I mean, it was already going downhill in Smith's era, but the wokeness was just unwatchable in Capaldi's. Which sucks, because I think he could have been a great Doctor. And he was, as far as that goes.

Gary we need to Taco About Your Hat!!

When I saw who was playing "Rose" and more importantly why I realized that Dr Who wasn't returning. Why can we not allow women to play women anymore? Why is there such hostility towards women that men are allowed to take their roles simply by declaring themselves to be a transwoman.

0:06 He looked like that crazy priest antagonist from JoJo's Bizarre Adventures.

For the 50th Anniversary some friends and I had a big house party with a projector in the back yard, hired a trock band, spent a shitload of money on food and booze. Great fun. Everyone that I know that went to that party stopped watching it years ago. We don't even talk about it anymore, it just makes shit weird and awkward, like we're embarrassed to ever have liked it. Sometimes I go back and watch Blink though, but on the quiet sneaky like when I used to smoke pot in my dad's garage.

Saw an Instagram post showing Ncuti Gatwa on location wearinng a kilt, vest and leather jacket. People were suggesting it could be Dr Who filming, but might not be. Either way, the comments were all "i know it's a kilt but i can't believe we are finally seeing a queer Doctor in a skirt." THAT is the mentality of Dr Who fans now. THAT is the audience the show is aimed at. The same people who would say you're racist for wearing a sombrero are fine with telling me that "a kilt is literally a skirt" as long as it fits their queer persepctive.

No Just No Won't even get a little bit hopeful, it's dead, dead, dead, deadski and it's not ever going to get better.

Remember the 10th Doctor remember Donna Noble remember The Celestial Toymaker😂😂😂😂

Russell has unnecessarily put his foot in his mouth so many times since he and David's return announcement. Lol

I'm done with Doctor Who unless they retcon Timeless Children.

Somehow Donna Noble returned.

I don't care. Timeless children killed it permanently.

Boy, that escalated quickly. I mean, that really got out of hand fast - Ron Burgundy 😢

I won't watch it, even though Tennant is my favorite new Who and I always liked Donna....I won't be catfished into getting involved only to be gut punched again. "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me."

You guys are more forgiving snd curious than I. I'm out with Dr. Who. They went too far with the show's ruination as with Star Wars, Star Trek, Indie, etc. It's kinda sad that I'm not even curious about it enough to give it a view.

Lol I didn't watch the Dr Karen show, I'm not going to watch a Dr fruitcake show.

I was out before when they spit on me for not liking what they were doing with Dr Who. No amounts of nostalgia bait is going to bring me back. Its not about the show itself, its about the people making it.

And there it is !!! the show has ended before it began

I'm looking back, trying to find the moment they killed _Doctor Who,_ and it's difficult, because while there are good episodes in Capaldi's run (especially the first episodes), there are also huge stinkers. The moment I keep coming back to though is _Kill the Moon._ That was their "jump the shark" moment, and everything else was the show bleeding out from the mortal wound. Them shitting on the First Doctor in _Twice Upon a Time_ is when it was fully and completely dead, with Jodie Wittaker's run them letting Chibnall _Weekend at Bernie's_ the franchise, and _The Timeless Child_ was the final desecration of the corpse.

Doctor who used to get me so excited and following HIM was such a delight, even into the Peter capaldi era I was rooting for him. They absolutely destroyed that character and a retcon of the timeless children is the only way to fix it. Not just ignoring it but erasing it.

Watching this I realize, "I don't care" and that's sad. I miss those glory days when a new season of Who came around and everyone was stoked and great TV was upon us

I know I've said it before, but I will repeat it ad nauseam. This trailer looks like an edgy, needlessly "epic" fan trailer made 10 years after the franchise died.

I stopped watching Doctor Who after the timeless child, despite it being my all-time favourite show. With the 60th coming in over 2 month I still have zero emotions to a point that I keep forgetting that it was the 60th this year.

0:31 Nerdrotic's earnest reaction/critical-review for modern Dr Who.

Honestly, I wasn’t too surprised Russell went this way. His later episodes with Donna did have some of this shit. Like when they spent a two parter belittling UNIT for trying to defend themselves and then the very next episode Donna kills a young alien and shrugs it off. He definitely had this preachy side. He’s just allowed to let it loose now.

"And marginalized people" Gary: "ah f*** its dead,it's dead!"

Doctor Who is a man. Is and always will be. And William Hartnell will always be the first doctor.

"We can't just make Dr Who a woman for 3 years because fans will just skip it. We must retcon entire caracter so fans will skip it and everything after that"

Insert "Stop, stop! He's already dead" gif.

I'm not even a Doctor Who fan and I feel people's pain with this. To fuck up a 55 year old franchise should be a crime.

‘If she remembers me she will die!’ Or she’ll set off a shockwave that knocks out a bunch of master clones…which is what happened

I want to write the last four or so years of the show off as a bad dream and now we're getting it back. You're right that The Timeless Child nonsense has wounded the show, and has done badly. Personally though I have a head cannon that fixes this. The Master lied. Think about it, he accessed the MATRIX and spun this story out of old legends and half forgotten myths then had it discovered by the Time lords. This "Hidden True History" so soon after the Time War sends the planet into turmoil. People demanding answers as to if it's true but no body can prove it one way or the other. Into this chaos the Master steps in and kicks off a civil war. Galifrey burns at his hand. He then tries the same trick on the Doctor. To me it's all a big con and I really, REALLY hope we get to see the Master again. Just so we get a throwaway line the reveals this as what happened. That said I will share something with you here. On the BBC this trailer came up before Strictly Come Dancing (Dancing with the Stars in the US). She sent me an email about it. She was NEVER a fan of Jodie, saw about two minutes of her and described their performance as "Too week and needy". Her email this last Saturday basically read "Looks good, you should see it" It may take some time, but we will get good Who again and time heals all wounds. even this one!

This is the beginning of the end for Doctor Who. The show will tank after this.

Why should we give them a second chance?

If they wanted a female time lord so badly they just needed to pull Romana from E-Space along with K9 and have her regenerate and have a season of her looking for the doctor and maybe meeting some early versions of him. Then spin her off into her own thing if it worked. They can fix the broken origin of the Doctor but they dont have a will to do so. It does not just break him it breaks the Time Lords and their entire history including the Time War that the 50th revolved around.

Lol poor Gary your reaction is hilarious for me but I understand you frustration

They murdered DW and they know it. They are bringing back our favorites - for what 3 episodes? Then expect us to stick around for the new guy. That probably wont happen. At least with me it wont. I'll watch Donna and Ten and dip again. Watch Az or Gary spiral into insanity watching it instead because thats way more entertaining.

I'm not a big fan of Dr. Who and even I feel dead inside.

No Capaldi no thanks.

I said this to a mate of mine, this feels like its going to be a bait and switch series. They are going to give us all of this good stuff then it will go back to the usual crap when the new that (can't think of a gender neutral term for "guy"), comes in.

This is whole exercise of bringing back Tenant’s Doctor and Donna is akin to an inmate sentenced to death that is allowed one weekend of indulgence in Las Vegas. The best food, the best drink, and the best women. It doesn’t matter because come Monday, he has a date with the electric chair. I see no joy in this because it will eventually lead to Doctor Marginalized wether we like it or not.

Imagine telling Jon Pertwee that the Doctor is non-binary.

Doctor Who Cares

NPH would make an amazing Riddler

Just like my first marriage, Doctor Who is dead. While I may cherish some of the memories I will NEVER go back!

Watching these videos is my only interest in DW now. No matter how good it is, unless they write out everything that came after Capaldi I won't be back and I understand that won't happen.

Yep they are jangling those keys very hard on this one and guess what the next doctor to come will be even more insufferable than Jodie's reincarnation.

I'm not gonna lie, I agree with you guys, the Toymaker seems extremely well casted. Guy looks cool as shit. I only wish they'd have introduced him like this during a better time in the franchise. Like, 10 years ago maybe

Just got a 31 disc set of Dr Who, from Eccleston to Capaldi, with all their episodes for 50 bucks from Walmart. My only complaint is there is no episode list and I don’t know if the movie specials are included in this box set yet, but I think this is a good deal from Walmart. Whittaker has her own box set too for 40 bucks but I will not get that one for obviously reasons.

I laughed out loud - for real - when you reacted to that they-them geezer in the first bit. Vintage Gary. p.s. was that Stark Tower they land on in the trailer? Lol

How to gracefully bring back Palpatine.... "Somehow, Palpatine has returned!" Surprise!!! 😅

I remember being at a con back in 2014 where some girls I ran into had driven overnight, from out of state, with VIP tickets that had cost like $500, all so they could have lunch with David Tennent. Unfortunately, it’s that level of Tumblr crazy that killed this show

Let's put in a Baby Yoda, that worked for Disney, but make it furry and white.

I've been a Who fan all my life, since the 80's, and attended multiple cons through the years, meeting almost all the actors involved in classic Who. I watched the new series but it was always a bit too close to soap opera for me to fully embrace it and I abandoned it before Capaldi's last season. I honestly thought it would be easy to walk away and focus on stuff I like but the problem is, no-one else sees the difference between classic Who and shit modern soap opera Who. My relatives all still ask me about the latest seasons and when I say I don't watch it I then have to explain in detail why, and explain that it was just not being made for me anymore, and explain that I left BEFORE the female Doctor to emphasize that I'm not a sexist 😒. Same with work colleagues as well. When this trailer dropped I was actually at a convention in Wales. I don't really do Dr Who cons much anymore but like to do them for the big anniversary years as it's good to see a lot of the classic actors. But despite there being 99% classic series guests there were so many videos playing at the con of the new series, lots of compilations of mushy sentimental rubbish and grandiose speeches by the Doctor. Even the other attendees had queer and trans teens who were there only for the sexuality side of modern Who. It's just not easy to be a classic Who fan only when the world is fixated on the new stuff and the new fans are fixated on identity sexuality and race.

That little alien is literally a copy of baby Yoda.

Apparently the trailer came out 4 days ago and I'm only just hearing about it now, says it all really.

I'll never forget nor forgive what they them did to The Doctor!

It’s interesting to watch the BBC come to realize how much they screwed up Doctor Who. Oh well

That dude used ALL the Reddit words to describe his Doctor.

Well, it LOOKS, ok. What are they hiding... (rhetorical question) * goes safely back to currently listening to Eight *

At _best_ this is a Picard Season 3 brief fanservice anomaly. But there's no keys jangly enough, or berries memberry enough, to tempt me back for a "Somehow, Donna's memories returned" retcon.

The betrayal of the last doctor being so useless that she required a cohort of companions, took us from a dedicated viewers to completely abandoning a loved show. When the agenda pile-driving became core and sci-fi basically disappeared, we surrendered that we would not be witness to the deconstruction of something brilliant. Great trailer or not -- they cannot be trusted, and if Disney has anything to do with the franchise, they noone with a mustard seed of conscience should watch this show. Stop giving Disney and their agendas any money at all.

There's nothing they could do that would make me excited about "Doctor Who" again.

Cute alien is their baby Yoda. Desperation.

As good as this looks + how great to see David + Katherine back! I am still strangely un-thrilled. I can't get rid of that bad taste....

So Donna's Daughter is being played by a trans person ,is the character trans too? Couse if not ,that's a no no in identify politics v

Lmao the , they, bit

sorry, dr who died with me at the david capaldi christmas special and he died.

I have all the David Tennent and Matt Smith Doctors' on Bluray and that's enough for me. The Doctor died years ago.

I can't believe they're still under the illusion that this is not dead...after all they killed it

as an original (very young ) Who fan and having been BETRAYED I quote country and western, "My give a Damn is busted!" Maybe they can rebuild with a new viewer base ,but all I want to do is get a stake some garlic and kill this monstrosity and then urinate on the corpse.

It doesn't matter who they bring back if they're going to quintuple down on the insufferable, artless, political pandering that's eaten every once-beloved franchise

So much hopium (I could hear it in your voices). So much disappointment incoming. You got the trans kid and Ncuti Gatwa to look forward to.
