And also that great actors who live the material can make even a mediocre script sing.

She sucks, even with a great script.

@@Meg_Lovegood But with a good writer, she could grow in the part. I'm afraid that's unlikely, in the current circumstances.

In this case "a good actress needed a great script". You thought being skeptical about Matt Smith taking over after David Tennant's run was harsh, imagine having a woman play as the doctor for the first time in 40 years. Worse is 2 years before that the ghost busters remake happened and then a year later last jedi happened. Fans just experienced classic movies get shit on by feminists. And then this happened, it may not be a feminist change when I think about it, but its sure is hard not to think that it isnt with such mediocore writing.

@@bedrocktailor3226 I'd be cautious about equating "mediocre writing" with feminism; they don't necessarily go together. For a list of really good feminist SF over the past several decades, look up the site of the James Tiptree Jr. Literary Award. Not all the authors whose works made the short list are women, and none of the work is "mediocre".

I too would have loved Victorian Clara.

We haven't had time period companions since classic who really

Noah Thompson New Who just seems a lot more... cautious (if that’s the right word) with it’s companions overall. Compared to classic who they’re staying for longer parts of each Doctor’s era (so we get less each doctor), they’re always modern era humans (as opposed to historical companions or non human companions, and always around the same age of the doctor (or at least how old that regeneration looks) or always friends/love interests (Bill was the first professor-student relationship since classic era). The most interesting (risky) companions end up being one-offs from specials that never return or awesome groups of companions that are only in a select few episodes (strax, vastra, etc).

I’ve always thought the same thing.

I would've liked if she changed a lot: every now and again Clara would be changed for another, and Prime Clara would've always been lost in the Doctor's timeline. So it could've went, Victorian Clara for a bit, then we met Prime for only a few episodes, then over and over for 12 so we, although she develops, the Doctor always knows she's going to die from that point so he still gets attached (but not in such an excessive way). Also, it's an interesting dynamic especially considering they could've done, an alien Clara, a prehistoric Clara, the Time-Lord Clara, possibly even jumping back and forth various timelines. It also could've been a better way to introduce her school-teaching in Season 8 and 9, almost as if she has to continuously adapt: but of course not too frequently, it would get too repetitive

It wasnt as much Amy as it was Rory... I always liked him more. Amy was good enough, but with her Flaws (some pointed out around Minute 4 here...) she was... problematic... tiresome...

Same with Bill!

New Who is crap.

Ppl who don't like Donna "bc she is loud"

Ow, erg, WHAT??????? Donna would be the WORST companion except for old pig nose with the "maths medal." Donna lovers seem to be people who don't like science fiction. They want the stories to be about "human frailty," or some such, instead of ideas and concepts of future scientific understanding. No, I don't know ANYONE who liked Donna. So PLEASE do not think that you speak for me, my friends, or other long time Doctor Who fans.

Yes, I feel that way too. Beautiful work.

Capaldi was great, but most of his stories were utter trash. He deserved so much better.

@@ToonamiT0M I liked them, and admired him for making them so much better with his skills and his heartfelt performances. I don't think you know "utter trash" when you see it, but thankfully that is your problem, not mine.

@@ToonamiT0M But if they were good, they were god damn good!

@@ichabod1370 I'll admit that "utter trash" was a but much. But do feel they were among the worst that Moffat had produced.

I think she was a bit of a hit or a miss. If he was good she was excellent but when she wasnt I just found her annoying.

I found her annoying in the Runaway Bride episode but when she came back and became a companion, I liked way more.

Donna was the perfect companion as a best friend character. She was not a romantic interest like a lot of New Who companions are and she didn't have a personality that just took a backseat in the relationship so in a way she was a true sidekick.

I don't get why people are against love stories in doctor. I understand when it comes to martha for example,it was definitely a bit annoying,because it was a one-sided crush. But with rose it was different. They had this strong bond between each other,both of them loved each other equally.In my opinion,it's beautiful. Rose may not be the best companion,but 10th doctor and rose were the best duo in tennant's era. How they were always smiling in each other company, hugging. How could people hate something so pure and innocent. Also,doctor literally had a relationship with river so what's the problem.

*Oi watCH IT SPACE MAN*

You have no idea how happy this makes me.

22:38

I read this comment a few seconds before the end bit happened XD

This is honestly and literally the hardest I have laughed in one year

I would literally prefer the 9th doctor to the female one because the doctor never has a massive loss any more so I think if you change some things you could make doctor who good again say if you made an episode like this (one a cyber ship has been fighting a dalek ship the dalek ships guns are wiped out then the cybermen bord the dalek ship and start killing the daleks but leave one for an experiment the cybermen atempt to convert the dalek but some thing goes wrong thay finish and what is made is a abomination the thing has blood bags hanging of it there is bleeding flesh with iron burnt it to it the thing escapes the cyber ship and goes on a rampage trying to fined the creators of it to kill them it kills a few cyber planers but just can’t get to davros to kill him cut to it killing a cyber planer the doctors ship lands in the same ship the doctor try’s to stop it and dose but one of her companions die and the doctor regenerates). If this would be a bad episode I think it could never be worse than one with some big spider bois in the real world it would be better than any chibnall episode’s and by it I mean the monstrosity.

Not beloved by a lot of the fans where I'm from.

Rómulo Figueroa I agree season 10 was my favorite season in a long time. Probably since season 5 with Matt Smith. I like that Capaldi started out with a stick up his ass and slowly mellowed our and learned how to have fun again. I haven’t actually watched much of the classic series but it seems to mirror the 1st doctors story arc a lot. So when they met in the crossover it felt like the doctors story came full circle.

You either love his run or you hate it. I’m a huge fan of season 9. It’s my 2nd favorite season after 5. I also love a lot of the episodes from 8 and 10. Wish more people liked it :((

@Rómulo Figueroa That's a matter of perspective dude.

I liked him when he was more of an asshole, morally ambiguous. I liked him like he was sort of a old timy grandpa that didn't care about peoples feelings but the endearing kind. But the problem was the writing and companions where the worst

...Theyre LITERALLY "not even trying anymore", yes.

Each to their own. I love both Murray Gold and Segun Akinola, they provide two completely different styles and Segun's style is more in line with traditional composing. He was not hired for his skin colour; he'd done a bunch of British television before this and is a talented composer. However if you prefer Murray's stuff that's completely fine; he is also a legend.

@@connormcrae2907 It could also be a creative decision from the top, removing or not using music that Akinola composed (but that's just speculation). Not familiar with his works but the series 11 really did have barely any music used and more ambient soundscaping over music. I know John Williams composed over 3 hours of music for the last star wars film but they used almost none of it.

@@ibEscartian interesting point there. Looking at the behind the scenes of Series 12 it seems that Akinola scores a certain amount before receiving an edit, but then scores a bunch of music to time with the edit of the piece. So I reckon there might be some missing tracks, but most of his music is in there. I just find some of his music more fascinating than other people do. Then again play Murray's "The Doctor Forever" and I'll be in love :D

Dont get me wrong, when the new composer was announced i was excitied and optimistic. I feel like the comparison to the new Star Wars films is very apt since i did feel that Murray's themes were being recycled to death after series 4, in the same way that the new star wars trilogy recycled and often misused old musical themes. So i was looking forward to a shake up in Doctor Who music. And i dont have a problem with the direction Akinola took the soundtrack, i just think the way its been implemented into the finished product was completely tone deaf (pun intended). At times it feels like the music in series 11 and 12 has just been applied randomly and arbitarily to the visuals.

I liked the 2020 series except the Timeless Child bit. The series before just kind of sucked. I only liked 3 episodes. But both series suffered from changing the music. I prefer Murray Gold's music and the way you would hear a theme and just know who was coming on screen like with Rose's return during the Dalek attack years ago. He could build anticipation. To me, the music was one of the weakest links of Chibnall taking over.

Lilly Who agreed! I think Capaldi had the right to this long speech as speeches was his thing. And it was his last scene as The Doctor therefore I think the length of seen was so rightly given to Capaldi. Best Doctor in my opinion 🙂🙃

Lilly Who Wish we had one more season with Capaldi!

Capaldi reminded me of Jon Pertwee, who was "my" Doctor. It's a pity that Moffat turned Doctor Who into the Clara and her Amazing Friends show.

Jason Clark He WAS reminiscent of the earlier Doctors. What I wouldn’t give to have had one more years with Capaldi. Wish they could erase this last season. New show runner, new Doctor. Let’s have a do over!!!!

Cam Prout yes. He earned that speech. It was one of the best.

I dont know, its way to dramatic und schmalzy

Ten "reward" was epic

Try and remember that the very first plays in ancient Greece were monologues and that the first actor ever filmed did a death scene. This death scene was funny because the film ran out before the actor finished dying. Considering these starting points, you have to expect these kinds of scenes. It is also very Shakespearian.

@@berranari1 Try and remember that they also wore masks and performed on the street in ancient Greek theatre, plus that in Shakespeare's time, women were said to not be able to act, so men did all the women's roles, this is why putting random, unrelated facts into a sentence does not add up to causating a monologue before a regeneration scene, because the first Doctor died from being so old in real life, so they needed a new Doctor the Second time. It then became a feature of the character when changing actors. This has nothing to do with ancient Greek theatre, Tudor Theatre, which did not have women in and was all done in rhymes, or black and white cinema, that was so constrained by the technology of the time. None of those facts have anything to do with plot devices because someone died, wanted more money, or they got someone better in.

@Hannah Smith me too ! One of my favorite tardis team was with the 2nd Doctor, Jamie (a compagnon from the past , 18th century scotland) and Zoe (a compagnon from the future, the 21th century - wich was the future in the 60's). I'd really like to see something like that again in New Who explored in a different way maybe

Oh I dunno, they'd probably overdo a companion from the past being amazed by television / smartphones etc, but companions from the present get taken to a spaceship hundreds of years in the future and just go "meh" most of the time.

@@michaelmartin9022 yea

However, the old Who was in the form of series, not single episodes. I think that works better.

Maybe it's just in hibernation, for a while. I hope, anyway . . .

I want to think of it as "the trip" Where the show tripped.

I like to believe that the Doctor did die during that explosion.

It became a zombie version of itself. And zombies are really really really boring.

Just as I was about to say it...

it's actually set in 2015 lol

Bowties Nope, 2020.

My first though was this is just a rewrite of Doctor Who and The Silurians.

Same, I'm honestly surprised that this person likes series 8 but doesn't like 9 and 10. I was definitely the same opinion as him about the declining quality of series 6 and 7. But just because character development happens off-screen doesn't make it not believable. At the end of series 8, the Doctor accepts that he doesn't need to try so hard to be "good" and can relax a bit. Thus, after a time skip, we see him relaxed and letting loose. Similarly, Clara lost Danny after series 8, and he was basically the only thing tying her to Earth. She already had "addiction issues" to travelling with the Doctor. So without Danny, and perhaps as part of her grief, she becomes increasingly reckless and self-destructive. I also liked series 8 more than 9 or 10, but I wouldn't by any means say the latter two were bad. But I'm on the "Hell Bent was good, actually" side so we'll never see eye-to-eye.

I think he was the best storyteller in the new Who era. Since Jodie Foster it is just Dr. Woke for me and after watching 10 minutes into the 60s special I decided for myself, that Dr. Who ended with Cabaldi.

So you like the Chibnall era because is so simple and politics?

I quit watching after Tom Baker left - I don't like soap opera's.

Strange, I feel the same way. Always hated Series 1, then decided to give Rose (the pilot) a chance years later, and I thought it was incredibly well made on second viewing. Helps to have a new perspective on things.

@@UnchainedEruption I always loved 9th Doctor and 10th is my favorite, but now I'm rewatching 11th now and I like it better then I did before ✨

Dr who absolutely proves what the plan is and the same people who whine about white people engaging in cultural appropriation are the same people who want to replace straight white male characters, first with women and then with blacks or non white blokes, Jodie Whitakker was mot an upgrade she was a downgrade she's not as good an actor and not believable as an intelligent action driven dr They tested the waters with the master making him missy (who was at least an ok actress) and then that terrible Pakistani bloke who is just awful and then when that passed they replaced Peter (after having his companion tear him down as an old straight white man for over a season) then they have jodie and chibnal shit on the legacy with the timeless child and now they wanna brin tenant back for a bit to crap on his legacy then replace him with a black gay guy The BBC the scum left media are nothing but a bunch of misandrist racist scumbags a d I hope they burn in hell for trying to destroy the west

I was going to say that tin that picture of him standing with the Tardis prop behind him, that picture that appears regularly in dr who review videos, he looks like the stereotypical geography teacher who turns out to be a sex offender. I think it's the creepy upturned smile that does it. He does look a bit like Johnathan King. Now that;s creepy. I'm not saying Chris Chibnall is a sex offender, I'm just saying he looks like the stereotypical creepy pervert teacher, that's all.

This comment just gave me a smile that looked like I farted in a elevator 😂

We could treat it as just an observation rather than an attack, then we could all agree on it :D

He IS the fart. But unlike even the worst fart, he has yet to waft away.

That's Rude. . . But Chibnall is a Slitheen!

Steven Berkoff seems like a total asshole. Or maybe he just realised that he signed up for a Chris Chibnall script and decided "fuck this!"

tbh i don’t see why paul mcgann couldn’t have just been in the 50th if eccleston refused (although i do like john hurt’s performance)

@@Creek932 Moffat wanted McGann as a backup, but the BBC wanted someone with more star power.

Cant exactly blame eccleston for not coming back after how they shafted him

Yeah, it was a smart idea they didn't use the Victorian Clara. . . Tough enough explaining things like time dilation to a modern audience. Trying to explain some of the high concepts to the audience, threw an 18th century victorian lens, would have gotten real old, real fast.

Aidan -- Not by everyone. Moffat and Capaldi between them meant to grow the Doctor up, and they did, which was lovely for some older fans (like me), but upset many other fans. Capaldi's run is, at base, all about death, loss, and the recognition of a certain degree of futility (which is kind of what getting old brings with it), so for some of us who were going through that ourselves in our later lives, Capaldi was -- damn near perfect. I can understand why younger fans (in years, and maybe at heart) found that upsetting and hard to connect with.

I loved capaldi so much. Oh and missy. The. Best. Master. EVER. I loved her character so much...i cried when she died...

Completely agree. It was a great return to form, and while the second half wasn’t as strong, I’d never was bad (except Pyramid at the End of the World) World Enough & Time more than makes up for it!

I also loved Capaldi’s opening theme

@Johanns Rogers I agree

Nothing with Matt Lucas in has ever been one of the best anythings. Fullstop, mate.

Damn, I agree and can't stand the hate on it. I think the crisis of the 12th really make sense and is actually heartbreaking and beautifull. And music... Sheperds boy or Clara tracks are great

I honestly loved the Capaldi Era like it was really good especially with Bill

Mickey at least ended up with 10 loving him like a brother. 9 was in a lot of pain and very jealous/envious, so he put Mickey down to build himself up. But 10 was always so excited to see him and wanted the best for him, and part of that was guilt that he and Rose had fallen for each other.

Amy's infatuation with the Doctor is very obviously a result of the disconnect from reality and probable abandonment issues she gained as the girl who waited, it detracts from her likability at first sure but it's not without reason. By episodes 6/7 of S5, we see Amy make it irrefutably clear she'd choose a life with Rory over a life in the TARDIS. Rory then gets used to really put the Doctor in his place and remind him how mortal the companions are, like the episode where our original Amy basically dies, or even back in Vampires of Venice where he first sees the dangers of space and time. I mean look, Gladiator Rory holding a baby is fucking awesome and even I knew he'd grown as a man, watching S7 debut at 8 years old. The Doctor and Rory making peace struck me as a really great unspoken display of positive masculinity, two people introduced in less than positive circumstances but united by a person they both cared for very deeply, and being mature and graceful enough to put those things aside to enjoy a true companionship. Rory and the Doctor's relationship is an evolution on the Rose/10/Mickey dynamic, where the Doctor can instead take upon the role of friend and supporter instead of being an intruder in the TARDIS Trio triangle, it's a relationship born of pure connection, no premeditated romantic or sexual goals, just respect and chemistry.

This is the problem with only old men writing the show. I don’t think just men are bad writers, lots of women writers suck too. But i think they need more writers. I love capaldi as the doctor and he deserved better

After basically having Rose stolen from him, I was happy to see Mickey ended up marrying someone equally hot like Martha in the end.

Rory to me was a better companion than Amy. He asked questions he was active. He would rather help people who were injured than just stare wistfully at the doctor. Amy didn’t even ask questions she was just there to blindly, admire everything the dr did.

I was fine with everything, until they said that only when river and the doctor touch time continues, and then river touches a robot that looks like him, and time continues... I mean, how easy is it to trick the universe?

The universe wasn't tricked though, it was always the Teselecta that was at the lake, and time was damaged because she failed to do what she was supposed to do in a fixed point, i.e. shoot the robot. I personally loved season 6 for the most part, except for the very end where the fat blue head starts chanting 'Doctor Who?' - that was very cringey.

@@ReactionVideoDotAvi If he was a robot all along, why didn't he came out of the robot after the robot was shot at the first episode of the season? If he would have done it, Rory, Amy and River wouldn't have had to go through his death.

The whole point of the exercise was to fake his death ("I've got too big"), he needed witnesses for that because The Silence wouldn't be able to pass that information to anybody and River wouldn't remember it.

@@ReactionVideoDotAvi Ok, not gonna lie, that makes sanse, but it's really hard to understand that from watching the episode

Matt Smith speech was better and felt my organic and sincere compared to Capaldi's.

@@MRJDXTRA It's not a competition. Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi were two very different Doctors, and the circumstances of their regeneration were very different. Their respective speeches were a result of where they were mentally. Matt Smith's speech reflected hope as he had very narrowly avoided dying, having been gifted a brand new regeneration cycle at the last moment. Capaldi's speech on the other hand was more of an acceptance of his inevitable regeneration, when all he actually wanted was to rest and die as himself. You cannot compare the two speeches and say one is better than the other. They're both beautiful in their own way.

Capaldi is a good actor, but he got rotten stories, although not nearly as horrific as lately.

Season 7 was the worst. Not cause of Clara but because of A)trash writing B)The 11th Doctor is.. rubbish C) terrible villains D)more bad writing imo

My thoughts exactly! Never did I laugh, cry and yearn to join them as much as during seasons 1 to 4. The whole dynamic between the doctor and his companions....beautiful.

It certainly was. I really enjoyed the Moffat era too (which might turn out to be an unpopular opinion in this comment section...) but I grew up on the Davies era. The nostalgia is strong with that one :)

A. R. D. Thorne I certainly did enjoy the Moffat era. Matt Smith did a great job as the Eleventh Doctor (although Tennant is my favorite), it was mainly the writing I had problems with. It took me a while to get used to new feel to the show and the new doctor when I first watched season 5 because I was still in grief over the lose of ten but looking back that is a pretty solid season, probably the best in elevens era. However season 6 and 7 pretty much made no sense because they were both giant plot holes. I liked what Moffat was trying to go for with the grand twisting mysterious plots however there was never any payoff because there was rarely an explanation that made sense. I think he was a bit too ambitious and kept digging himself into a hole. On top of that I think there was definitely more character development overall in the RTD era and they were treated better overall. I also enjoyed the time with Peter Capaldi as well and unlike others was actually convinced that there was real character development under his run. Some of it happens off screen so you have to read between the lines a bit but still.

the golden era was also not due to the best time for Doctor Who, but also a great universe with Torchwood and TSJA, now theres none of that, just a poor shell of one show that was once great

This American sounding guy just doesn't get it. It is weird that he likes Dr Who at all. I am guessing that he likes to criticize things. Dr Who is what it is. It was never a grand production nor was it about superb acting. I never liked Dr Who when I was a kid, I only got into it when I was much older. I am guessing that this guy was the other way around. I liked Star Wars and Spider-Man, when I was a kid, not Dr Who. I haven't seen Dr Who in the last 2 years, but I liked most of what I've seen of it. I liked Eccleston, Tennant, Smith and Capaldi. It is cool that this series has gone on for so long.

Despite what I said the guy is a huge Dr Who fan. I recommend the video he made ranking all the Dr. Who versions.

You mean like most of the anime characters? No thanks. Dont get me wrong i like anime but not flashbacks please. Just keep him talking like a doctor

I thought the monologue was very fitting for Capaldi's regeneration. Because if there's one thing his doctor was good at, it was monologueing.

fair enough guys, although the monologue's a little forgettable to me. While I loved Capaldi era I remember Smith's regeneration speech word for word, and he didn't even stick with me as much. Maybe his was too long? I don't know, I spitball ideas a lot

Theyre LITERALLY "not even trying anymore", yes...

Right. The problem with Moffat is a typical artist problem; he's very imaginative and quirky, but he has no filter, he struggles to give half a shit about pacing, consistency, canon, logic. He invents cool new aliens for one episode, and immediately pisses on all the rules he himself invented in the next episode. He's like a very imaginative child telling a story that goes from tigers to space aliens to pirates to wizards. Even jokes; Moffat would have an entire stupid scene, shit on lore, confuse the audience, all as a setup to a terrible goddamn joke. He did okay under Russel T. Davies because, I presume, as head-writer, Davies had the power to edit and veto Moffat's work. But once he got full control on his own and they got through the episodes he had probably at least drafted while under Davies, he went off the rails. Davies, meanwhile, was probably a little stodgy and conservative. Moffat was a good influence on him to push the boundaries, but Davies still kept the show mostly true to the old series (I'm sure David Tennant, a fanatic for the classic series, also had influence--I know he got them to change the credits).

The problem with Moffat was he wasn't a show runner, he was better at writing one off stories where he could dedicate his time to it. Then saying that his stories always seemed out of place in RTDs Doctor Who, esp the library double where he must have known he was taking over from RTD. Moffats best season was his first as well, less layer upon layer of over done story arc tripe,, once series 6 started it became an absolute mess only saved by the other writers with their decent episodes. By the time Capaldi came in it was so ridiculous even the yanks switched it off.

TheRebel lets all not forget that Moffat also had to check with RTD when writing an episode to make sure a character wasn’t out of place or something or doing something RTD feels they wouldn’t do. It wasn’t all Moffat.

Theyre LITERALLY "not even trying anymore", yes.

Peter Capaldi isn't as good an actor as the fans make him out to be. People try to deflect blame onto either Clara or the writing instead of just acknowledging that Capaldi himself was the problem. For his entire first season and a good chunk of his second, he wasn't the Doctor. He was a fanboy PLAYING the Doctor and often came across as the Valeyard instead, which would have been fine if they'd brought Michael Jayston back in Season 8 to parallel Capaldi's sociopathic portrayal. Unfortunately, they didn't ask Jayston to reprise his role and if you don't know about the Valeyard's existence, Capaldi being a sociopathic arsehole makes no sense. John Hurt, supposedly the darkest Doctor, never came across as sociopathic and was a better Doctor in one episode than Capaldi was in his entire debut season. Even Colin Baker, who gets a lot of shit from the fanbase, could balance out his sociopathic moments with his flamboyant demeanour and I'm probably one of the only people who thinks that John Nathan Turner actually made the right decision by giving Baker such a ridiculous costume. I know Baker himself disagreed but it's a testament to his talent as an actor that his hatred for the costume was never visible in his performances. He swaggered around in it like it was the most normal thing in the world which really helped to emphasise that the Doctor is an alien. Capaldi's more minimal dress sense made him look like a normal human, so his sociopathy and social awkwardness didn't come across as alien or even as someone on the autism spectrum, something that Matt Smith could pull off in his sleep. Capaldi came across like any other man who has an antisocial personality disorder and his social awkwardness felt like an excuse to justify his behaviour. Because of Matt Smith and Colin Baker's dress sense combined with their larger than life personas, they actually came across as either an alien or at least an autistic person. Ironically, I think Capaldi being a lifelong fan was actually part of the problem. He was so terrified of getting the Doctor wrong after dreaming of getting the role for 5 decades that his insecurity bled through into his performance. To compensate, he tried to throw together as many previous Doctors as possible, including the Valeyard, and hoped that it would work. The problem with that approach is that you would require an actor of Laurence Olivier's calibre to combine 13 personalities into a cohesive whole whilst also bringing something new to the table. Capaldi is certainly no Olivier and frankly, I think even Olivier would have been spreading himself too thin if he attempted such a feat. There were simply too many Doctors for one person to juggle and without having a split personality disorder to explain it, I doubt any performer could pull it off.

Sacha dhawan was the only great actor.

Special Agent Kingston did you not like moffats era?

@@Brandon.Reacts i can't talk for him, but he never said that he didn't like it, just that RTD's was better, which in my opinion is also true. I liked all of the seasons in both eras but I prefer RTS's one. 4->3->2->5->6->8->10->1->7->9. Change my mind. (This is both quallity and enjoyment)

​@Michael F Thanks :) but the start of the list is a preety popular opinion. just the 2nd half is more unpopular... I know some of those seasons are objectivly better then others, but I rated them based on my enjoyment from them.

​@@timrosswood4259 Yeah, him and Jodie (and Stephen fry of course) were the only talents. I just wish they'd give 13 another chance, but not under Chibnall. funnily enough in "Kerblam" Yaz and Ryan were... good. Good! Yaz shows compassion at the end, and suddenly Mandip has talent. Ryan is a different and better personality, not a plot device, and Tosin shines. That's how important the lead writer is in a show.

Aidan Milford Same.

Aidan Milford Mine as well. He was coming into his own by the time he left. The perfect doctor.

Hang on, you're claiming Nine had worse writing than Ten and Eleven? I'm afraid I wholeheartedly disagree. Series one is fantastic and has some of the strongest episodes of the entire revived show. The characterization of the Doctor and Rose is incredibly compelling, as is their developing relationship across the series. Everything is so wonderfully set up and delightfully paid off, the character's have clear journeys, and it's got a sense of freshness to it. Even Aliens of London/World War Three, despite the farting Aliens, has better written character drama than anything from Chibnall's run. It also has the best RTD finale, whereas the others would lean too heavily on contrived deus ex machinas. If Doctor Who had been cancelled after that first series, it would still have been an incredible piece of television.

@@JackWolf10 s1 had 5 episodes that were brilliant, probably some of the best who ever written, however (imo) it didn’t have the consistency of series 3,4 or 5.

@@JackWolf10 series 1 is amazing but lots of episodes are kinda boring

Haha exactly what i was thinking

I've always thought Rory was kind of underrated

Caitlin Khong Really? Back in the day people hyped the shit out of Rory lmao

Amy,rory and river song were best companions i hated the jodie whittaker companions cuz they dont listen

Mmmmmmmmm Martha.

Hated Martha. Another in love with the doctor companion ...

Your completly right and even the doctor realises this by saying at the end of season 6 I became to big it’s time I step back into shadows then tries to delete himself from records

The doctor will become some pansexual, African American one legged non binary person.

It's not even the political elements, it's how hamfisted and poorly written in they are. Look at series 1, The Long Game is a whole 'fake news' story but upon rewatches, doesn't seem lazy The finale builds on this and talks about humanity stagnating The ood in series two and four both touch on slavery but isn't hamfisted Whereas look at demons of the Punjab, I think word for word the doctor says "a Muslim can marry a hindu" which is very much 'tell dont show'

But then he reappears at the end of the series with no explanation as to how he escaped that alien world.

Still, the Doctor doesn't even mention it. No questions about Missy leaving 12, nothing.

glowing mash and beans exactly

@@dracopug Well, to he fair, I don't think they explained how the master got to the cyberman ship in s10, or how missy got from there to earth in s8...

I hope it will turn out that this Dhawan's master is an earlier incarnation. It would be really sad if Chibnall had just thrown out Missy's completely.

I honestly think that series 9 is the best in the modern Who quality wise. Yes, there was that one stupid episode with rheum monster, first return to Gallifrey was completely wasted on Clara (though idea of a person having invincibility due to their death being already predetermine is kinda cool) and Clara probably should've left in x-mas special, but other then that every episode was rather strong. I could gather way more complaints against series 1-4 and 7-8.

I literally prefer the 9th doctor to the female one I’m not sexist it’s the writing is terrible and the scripts are just cringy and I think the female doctor could be good but they sqewd it up now the doctor he has to have a massive lose for the doctor because now he just never has a lose like get rid of a main companion (if I were gonna make a doctor who episode I would make the it start in a space conflict with the daleks go agenst the cyberman then the cyberman bord the dalek ship then the cybermen kill most of the daleks but thay convert one and it is a abomination it has blood bags hanging of it and instead of it wanting to kill everyone it try’s to kill the cyber planners and dravros for creating him he kills a few cyber planers but the doctor comes in and distroys the monstrosity but the cyber ship there on gets damaged and a conpanion of the doctor dies leave the doctor in a state of dipression for a few episodes on). If it seems bad I think it would be better than an episode about some big spidey bois

Series 1-5 and half of 6 were great the rest was absolutely horrific cringe overcomplicated and just plain crap

Yes, retcon that whole season. Even though I like Graham, his wife Grace and even Ryan somewhat.

Living History Marvel UK Reset/Reboot, But i'm just dreaming of S.T.R.I.K.E/U.N.I.T Otherworld, Captain Britain & Helicarriers

@@druunderwood5602 You mean bring back the Marvel UK imprint? That would be great if they could get the rights to reprint some of their older strips.

Hey if they do erase history and sweep everything after Series 9 under the rug, I would actually consider watching a new Doctor Who episode again.

@@UnchainedEruption Nah, just all of the Chibnall trash. Throw it out. Never happened. That's 11, 12 and the soon to be 13. All of it in the dumpster where it belongs and fire Chibnall as well. Hire someone who's not a self-loathing SJW.

I agree that Clara should’ve left at the end of season 8 and it wouldn’t of even been a hard thing to script in

@@Leakedloki I think it might have been interesting to have her leave at the end of series 8 but return for a few appearances in series 9 (sort of like Martha in series 4) to fully send off her character. With the way series 8 ends, I think Clara's story would feel a little unfinished if she was gone for good after that.

Jake D'Amour yeh you roght

It wasnt as much Amy as it was Rory... I always liked him more. Amy was good enough, but with her Flaws (some pointed out around Minute 4 here...) she was... problematic... tiresome...

this is true

Why does that read like a Trump tweet lol

Yea

@@leacwm ladies and gentlemen we got him

he wrote the "Countrycide" episode off of Torchwood, that was a great episode and the writing was fine, his work on Broadchurch was good too, too bad all his on work on doctor who has been completely awful, doctor who feels like a completely different show now with no connection to anything from before aside from a few references, sure, if you just sat back and watched season 11 and 12 with no expectations or knowledge of what the show was before, it might be an okey(at best) experience, but actually watching some RTD era episodes really puts things in perspective and makes you realize how inferior the new episodes are. it's really heartbreaking to see how much the show has fallen from grace since the RTD era, I found it hard to admit for awhile, but this video brought that point home for me.

Yeah I liked that it's set up with "what aspect of language has survived over thousands of years." I hate to have to explain the joke, but the script is aware that "it speaks emoji" is cringe. However, there's no denying that emoji are simple hieroglyphics that will be around as long as humans have faces, so the feeling of the scene is "ugh, of course it speaks emoji."
