The Fall of Doctor Who - Part 2 (The Chasm)

Consider this an extremely late 'follow-up' to my original Fall of Doctor Who video ( • The Fall of Doctor Who ) - except I mainly focus on the first two episodes of Ncuti Gatwa's first series and how I never expected things to stoop so low....

I really really liked Jinx in the show. I think her overacting was just another part of the character and I didn't mind it (though I understand if others don't like the amount of 'scenery chewing'). What put the episode in the bin for me was the writing..... In the end, for me, it was good acting, good charactization but .... not a lot for those actors to actually use

@GallifreyanAvenger93 16 күн бұрын

That's fair enough. My primary focus is the writing but Jinx just was a bit too much for me. They were giving it their all, I can't deny that. Characterisation of the Doctor and Ruby is a bit thin to me. (I have watched 73 Yards and even at that, beyond abandonment issues, there's not much on the script page to flesh out Ruby in my opinion)

@Cardinal_Hordriss 3 күн бұрын

I wasn't keen on Space Babies but I've enjoyed the stories that followed. I thought Monsoon was great as Maestro and loved the creepy vibe of 73 Yards. It's hard to know how to judge the fan response because so many went in determined to hate it. RTD returning caused a backlash, Gatwa being cast caused some incredibly toxic backlash as did the announcement that Monsoon would be in it and that was long before series actually aired. People even complained about the wheelchair ramp on the TARDIS ffs. There's so much hate rising in the world right now, particularly against anything pertaining to the black and LGBTQ communities from actual legislation to stop kids being told gays exist to the ridiculous and baseless scare about CRT being taught in schools. You can't help but wonder if the negative response to a gay, black Doctor is part of the same thing. I'm not saying there aren't real reasons to be critical of it but it seems way higher than Chibnall's era and I'd say the new series has definitely improved on that. Also when people start slamming something as woke you have to wonder what they mean because what the word actually means is a positive thing. It's hard not to think of Fox News, The Daily Wire or people like Ron Desantis when people start complaining about representation. Not that this video was particularly like that but in reference to how some fans have responded to the series which was mentioned towards the end.

This is surreally dreadful. You’d think the actors themselves, at some point during the script reading, would look up in confusion and say “sorry, this is total shite, we just can’t do this.” If not for the sake of the show, then at least their own careers.

@ACC_org_uk 23 күн бұрын

Where's there's shite, there's brass. Gatwa is prepared to do his shallow mincing and operatic routine while reciting shitty dialogue for more money than any of his predecessors were ever paid. And what crap it is - talking babies under threat from their accumulated snot which has become sentient in the form of a monster; a sexless pianist who kills people by draining their musical talent from them. That's crap of the patronising sort which belongs on CBBC.

I didnt even make it to the end. As soon as he said "now for the twist" and started randomly singing i turned it off. I nearly turned it off mid way through when the Dr was staring of into the sky monologuing awkwardly about how they were doomed. He stopped talking, kept staring into the sky and the clip just hung there. Wtf was going on

Have to agree. I really disliked the Jodie years (not because of her, if anything, her take on the Doctor was the only thing working) but this season has ranged from fine to great. Not perfect but a huge return to form (for 2005 reboot fans anyway). I'm all for criticism but I do think the way some people have been complaining about this season, it's as if they've convinced themselves that Doctor Who is some macho Indiana Jones meets Star Trek sci-fi advenutre. There's always been a camp, silly, heavy-handed element to the show. The main villain has a plunger for an arm for crying out loud. I'm convinced if characters like Lady Cassandra, Captain Jack and the Adipose were introduced this year, the same people would be saying the show is a disgrace.

The Doctor is the last Time Lord as far as we know, which may exclude Susan and others who escaped Gallifrey, but we're not really sure. Also, the Doctor isn't really a Time Lord but a foundling from somewhere unknown so he really isn't the last Time Lord. The Doctor has a real name, which isn't so secret anymore and it's an adopted name anyhow, not a birth name. The Doctor is scared of monsters and Gods, but is likely immortal given the Doctor has been killed countless times (not that this seems to have traumatised him/her). Let's face it, canon is completely ruined, and this series is just ridiculous now - a pathetic parody of itself. Perhaps this is why TV shows shouldn't last for 60 years. 😞 Thanks for the review.
