Doctor Who

Is it worth a watch or is it just a woman meme?
Ive seen bits and pieces of pic related doctor and he seemed pretty good.

    Yes, the 2005 onwards revival is really good (Kino, dare I say) and definitely worth checking out
    I was a casual enjoyer of reruns of the original DW when I was young, and I thought the revival was great - even hardcore fans really enjoyed it
    But when Peter Capaldi comes in and Matt Smith goes out, ditch the show if you don't want your fond experience to be ruined in hindsight, because the writing plummets afterwards

      Capaldi is the best doctor but has the worst writing. Something both these normalgays left out.
      Watch episodes like Listen and Heaven Sent in season 8 and 9.

    Matt Smith was great for a couple of seasons but Moffat is fricking unbearably up his own ass about Clara that it ruined the series entirely.

      Yeah Clara is the hard stop point
      I would say figure out which season she comes in and Amy & Rory go out and stop at the one before that.

        You don't even have to do that because series 7 (the series that happens) was split into two mini seasons with the first half giving amy and rory a clean exit.
        Just watch series 7 part 1 and drop it once you've watched "the angels take Manhattan" which is one of the last decent episodes of nuwho anyway.

      Moffat swings hard for the fences each and every time, so when he connects he well and truly knocks it into the carpark, but I'll be the first to admit he strikes out just as hard. Having said that I still like his overall style and can often find something to like. Didn't hate the later seasons of Sherlock, though I understand why people would find them hard to tolerate.

      "Up its own ass" is a perfectly valid description of his shit at the best of times, let alone when it goes wrong, and Moffatt himself admits he was spreading himself too thin to the detriment of his work.

      That woman though, holy shit I've never seen a more attractive human being. I'd happily watch her in the most crap of series.

      The old ones are boring, don't let zealots fool you.
      2005 are great, but the season 1 doctor is terrible, he is uncharismatic as frick, which is why the replaced him after s01. Rest of the seasons are great and worth watching.. untill the doctor becomes a troony and grows a vegana, and around that time it will also become canon that the first doctor was actually a black girl. Jesus. Just skip those new seasons and pretend they don't exist. They were so bad they cause the show to get canceled.
      Fricking wokie ruin everything and jodie is an insufferable c**t.

      >The old ones are boring, don't let zealots fool you.
      Not true, but there are a lot of crap episodes. You can take solace in the fact there's literally too much of that shit for a human being to reasonably watch, so start with a best of list and follow threads like origin of the Daleks and Davros, etc. There's a lot of great lore to be gleaned from the old series, and melodrama mattered more than effects back then, because it had to.

      Case in point:

        Not a big fan of the classic era, the pacing is far too slow in most episodes I have seen, but what a kino scene. I wish the Doctor and Davros had more of these back and forth conversations in the revived series.

            For me it was the moment the 13th Doctor was revealed. I was always against the idea of a female doctor in principle. I remember people saying to give it a chance and it's possible she wasn't just picked because of politics. This of course turned out to be false but I don't care either way. The Doctor is a man. Anything post-Capaldi isn't canon.

    Watch series 1 - 4+specials for maximised kino.
    Only Americans and British zoomers like Matt Smith because that's when they discovered (and proceeded to ruin) the show. Despite that there still some aspects of the Matt Smith era that are pretty great and worth watching but be warned, they never reach the highs of the 2005-2009.
    Capaldi era is when the writing takes a major noticeable dip in quality, despite that Capaldi is probably the best actor you could imagine playing the Doctor. So if you're already invested up until this point you might as well continue to watch for the 1 or 2 good episodes sprinkled throughout.
    Post Capaldi Doctor Who is no man's land. A barren wasteland of talentless writing, peaching, and disdain for the source material. There's a reason no one cares about this show anymore.

        All three NuWho showrunners are big fans of the show, especially Chris Chibnall who went on TV in the 1980s to complain about it.

        They don't hate the source material at all, Doctor Who is unique here where fans are running the show but Doctor Who is different to everyone and they want to put their own stamp on it.

    Why did this show have tons of gay references BEFORE gay marriage and shit was legalized?

    • 9 months ago
      Anonymous

      Because 'gay marriage' was never as important as you were told it was. The trend toward acceptance of decadent lifestyles wasn't started because the government allowed gays to marry. Decades of propaganda did that for them. The government signing off on it was simply the final nail, hammered in once everyone was already on board.

          Well I was talking about specifically Western countries. The rest of the world has always hated them for the most part. Although even in Western countries I have noticed a slow trend towards people no longer tolerating gays. Or at least the LGBT ideology.

          Getting married isn't decadent, frickwit. You're wanting to continue forbidding homosexuals from wholesome relationships because you're a revolting piece of shit.

          I never said I opposed gay marriage. Regardless the truth of the matter is that most homosexuals don't want to get married. The ones who actually do and live peaceful private lives are the least of my concern.

        Gay marriage made it a lot worse. Now, you suddenly have problems like, what do you teach kids in sex ed., if sex isn't about reproduction? This directly leads to weird things like teachers teaching their kids how to use grindr, or literal porn being put into textbooks. Because now sex isn't about penis in vegana, it's about hedonism. And the more hedonistic it is, the more sex it is. So it's the school's task to teach kids how to be as sexually degenerate as possible. Like, this literally flows directly from "gay marriage/sex = good".

        • 9 months ago
          Anonymous

          It has certainly complicated a lot yeah I'll give you that. Personally, I don't think the state should ideally be teaching kids sex ed at all. Those sort of conversations ought to happen between child and parent. Decedent lifestyles should be limited to the privacy of one's own property and rightly shunned by wider society. I'm not saying gay marriage had no impact on society's tolerance of decadence. I agree it's made it far worse. But I also think it was inevitable given the decades of propaganda leading up to that point.

          Basically, I don't think undoing gay marriage will magically fix things.

      Best and redpilled. The good episodes of Doctor Who are really good but there's only like five good episodes in the entirety of the show. Fortunately the show is very episodic so you can just jump into the five good episodes without watching the rest of this trash.

    I’d say 50 percent of episodes from 2005 onwards are worth watching up until Peter Capaldis last season where it gets atrocious. I barely remember Bill. Then Jodi… most episodes are not rewatchable…it goes into being total un-entertaining dreck. That’s being generous for the show. The classic episodes were in the 00s, I’m really sad the writers let it rot and got obsessed with identity politics.

    Classic Series has extreme variations in quality but is usually always entertaining.
    Series 1-4 and the specials of the revival is very good with only a few dud episodes.
    Series 5 is still just as good but there is a distinct difference in style
    Series 6-8 is Moffatt in full control. Random people and events come out of nowhere and a lot of shit just doesn't make sense. Really feels like "Frick it, we're doing it anyway" become a more common sentiment the farther you get in Moffatt's tenure.

    The 2005 revival is a good starting point. It just dwindles in quality during 12’s era due to the writing, as the actor himself is within the top 3 of Doctors and he was utterly devoted to the role.

    9 & 10 have the most complex characterisation which is the most interesting. The 9th Doctor is quite literally suicidal and it’s rather subtle at times about it. During this era the score/music is very good which often carries the more campy and silly aspects.

    Completely avoid 13’s era, I’m not being hyperbolic when I say that era has no redeeming quality to it. It’s so bad that it was almost cancelled a second time, that’s until they had to bring back the original showrunner that brought it back in 2005 along with his most popular Doctor (10) to be reincarnated as the 14th Doctor.

        Anyone who said RTD was going to erase TTC is a genuine moron. He adores the idea of it, and had he been showrunner at the time, he would have completely ignored the 13 regeneration limit.
        Remember when he tried to retcon it in the SJA and change it to "507"?
        >he was just teasing clyde tho
        Sure, you can interpret it like that, but RTD said otherwise and defended it by saying the 13 regeneration limit was only said "one or twice". He utterly hates everything about Gallifrey and the Doctor's background because he considers it baggage that pulls away casual viewers.

          RTD also deliberately made it very unclear in the early NuWho days whether the new series was an actual continuation of Classic or not, to the point that many tumblrinas unironically believed that the connection was confirmed only when they first show the Classic Doctors' faces in John Smith's journal in S3.
          RTD also claimed that the Time War could allow him to retcon the past at his will and ignore events from Classic, just like it was his excuse for not writing the Doctor as the Doctor because muh PTSD. the ultimate irony is that it was his era that was then immediately retconned by Moffat.

          everybody forgets (or ignores) that it was the same producer (Hinchcliffe) who introduced the Morbius Doctors and then the 13 regeneration limit. he always intended both to be canon and thus Baker to be the penultimate Doctor, but the following producers arbitrarily retained only one.
          "canon" really is only the showrunners' whim, and the same people that swallowed every retcon from JNT, RTD and Moffat and kept making fun about the wiki autists cried and pissed and shat themselves about "destroying canon" when Chibnall did it.

              "William Hartnell IS the first Doctor and I wilfully ignore these eight previous Doctors" seems like a pretty big retcon to me.

              The best part about the random black child is that it isn't human, so it isn't even a black child. Its a fricking alien that just looks like a black child.

                It's a moronic argument to say the TTC is a big deal because they said 'X' in the early years of the show.
                It's a massive difference, you're talking about something that retcons nearly 60 years of lore and comparing to something that retcons not even 6 years of lore (and not intentionally either I'll add given that this was the 1960s and writers had to rely on memory instead of being able to look back at old episodes).

                that is precisely the problem. plainly ignoring the previous writers' work IS wrong. you cannot claim it is for Chibnall but wasn't for JNT. the main difference is that Chibnall found a catch-all solution while JNT just left the problem there.

                no. because that claim came second.
                that's how it works: the earliest get priority on canon. the follower must deal with it. he can recontextualise previous claims but he cannot simply contradict them. JNT was wrong to do so and all others were for following him. all it would have taken was for any of them to explicitly recontextualise the Morbius Doctors with whatever explanation to correct THEIR mistake of having contradicted it.

            Ignoring canon from 30-odd years ago is one thing, what Chibnall did was on a whole other level. If you consider series 11-13 canon, they ruin story arcs from as recently as the Moffat era, all just to follow up on a now 40+ year old plothole no one really cared about.

            >disdain for the source material
            Why is this so common these days? Writers who hate sci-fi writing sci-fi, writers who hate fantasy writing fantasy, writers who hate comics writing comic book adaptations... Why is everyone working on things they hate and trying to change them instead of working on things they actually like?

            Because it's supposed to be intentionally subversive. The good thing is people finally seem to be getting sick of it. For example, the Mario movie was met with mostly praise from Mario fans because it was faithful to the source material and wasn't made by people with a disdain for Super Mario or gaming as a whole.

        This one was the most unnecessary one out of all the spin-offs, it had no characters previously established in the show that the audience could connect to, and it only existed because Moffat wanted a Paternoster spin-off but was too tied up and just started spit-balling ideas to other writers and someone took the whole Coal Hill idea way too seriously. No wonder it only lasted one series.

      the supposedly "obscure" Wilderness era had a frickton of spin-offs with literal whos managing to sell their books just by featuring their OCs in one Doctor Who novel and then claiming their own books are "spin-offs". the market was there and there were plenty of ready-to-use ideas available.

        It's still happening even now. There are literally children's books about an OC half-black granddaughter of the Brigadier that somehow are managing to sell.

    Moffat era also hasn't aged too well. Lots of disappointing conclusions and handwaved resolutions especially later in the run. Hate Series 7.
    Chinballs is just boring as frick and didn't care about the show, he was just there to keep it on life support.

    Eccleston and all the stuff before him is worth a watch, mostly. Tennant and everything after is.... hit and miss and pretty much just a meme aimed at women by people who have no idea what the majority female audience actually wants. The most recent series seems like it was made entirely for BBC journalists and no one else.

            how could you tell? he never lingers to ensure they don't come back or to prevent the liberated people from chasing and punishing the invaders.
            >for the second the daleks always come back no matter what
            the real issue was then to establish it was so easy to kill ALL Daleks with a simple switch, while perfectly knowing they would come back anyway. the moral dilemma is thus based on false premises. when the Fourth Doctor was in position of genociding the Daleks it was genuinely uncertain whether they would come back or not because of Uncle Terry's shenanigans.

              how could I tell? because he returns to earth constantly and they don't come back except for the 11 hour of course, for you second point ok I agree except for the entire episode was about the doctor realizes he's been making people into weapons and has been for a long time, then he sees "himself" do it and snaps, but still good point it was a dubious dilemma at best, 4th not sure if he should or not was much better no doubt

              Also if you like Torchwood, then definitely check out their Torchwood range. Torchwood is their best range and it's better than the TV stuff. Some of it can be truly dark and grim though such as the one where a father is forcing his daughters to be raped by weevils to create hybrid babies.

              They've also got an official RTD authorised continuation to the TV series called Aliens Among Us, which takes place after Miracle Day.

    Series 1-4 are gold. I would argue that Series 5 (Matt Smith’s first series) is just as good. Series 6 and 7 is where the writing starts going downhill but still has great moments. Series 8 - 10 is where the quality takes a nosedive but still had a good episode once in a blue moon. Series 11 - 13 is completely unwatchable. Avoid.

    Oh yeah also watch the classic show you zoomer.

                many did. they were told to frick off because the BBC proper REALLY didn't want to pay for more Doctor Who. only two managed to do it because they secured money from someone else: Segal with the Americans and RTD with BBC Wales. that's the actual reason.
                and if you don't believe me remember that the BBC was 100% OK with the initial full reboot project of the TVM and all the bullshit in the Leekley bible. because they just didn't care.

              RTD had to compete with Matthew Graham and Mark Gatiss for the position of showrunner, so clearly the BBC thought he was capable.

      >River Song
      If the British acting community wasn't so incestous River Song could have been a babe instead of what we got.

        She got shot. Horrible death, yeah, but not compared to Owen being slowly dissolved by boiling radiation.

    I don't mind historically inaccurate black people in historical episodes at all. Just don't mention it in the script. When you draw attention to it, you're making the audience think about it. You're not supposed to be thinking about that shit it's just for fun.

    I like moffat but the show got tired under him. As all shows eventually do. He probably stayed a little too long. And his successor just didn't do what the show needed with a reboot
