5:55 Ruby isn’t worse than Yaz in a thousand years
And Ryan
Thats true. But Ruby still wasnt good, she has nothing on Amy, Rory, Clara, Danny Pink, Rose, Donna, Sarah Jane etc.
Given Suthek never materialized during the 73 Yards timeline, I guess all it took to pacify him was a scenic Welsh vista. Leshed to death in the time vortex? 15 could have saved a tear, and just purchased him a timeshare in Tenby or Abersoch.
I think " the twist " in devil's chord was ok but it's placement in the episode is utterly horrendous - had it been the song that defeated the mistro or at the start of the episode rather than ruining the ending I might have actually gone back to rewatch it , since the episode without " the twist " is a pretty decent follow up for the giggle.
I completely agree. should have been used to defeat the maestro. Especially as it would have been the doctor and Ruby who defeated The Maestro not Paul McCartney and John Lennon. Who didn't even know they had beaten the Maestro.
Everything you said was completely on point. Out of all the episodes Boom was my favorite. I gotta be honest. This soured almost the whole season for me. I feel like Russell T Davies basically mocked the audience for even theorizing Ruby's origins were anything extraordinary. I saw people speculating she was related to the Doctor, or she was created by the Lord of Fiction, or she was the daughter of Toymakers sister who was the queen of Time. All those theories would've been so much better. RTD said the Timeless Child would feed into the dynamic with Ruby, it didn't. He also said he'd do something with it and based on the 60s specials I thought the events of the Flux would come up. Basically I thought This entire thing was building towards the Doctor being at fault for all this happening, since the Flux and Wilde Blue Yonder. I thought fifteens arc was supposed to be making up for ruining the Universe by letting these gods in.
RTD said the tales of the Tardis would make sense after this and it didn't. How did the memory Tardis exist? Why were past versions of the Doctor meeting past companions? Dunno f#@* me right? I thought Ruby would have some kind of power over memories, create the memory Tardis to help the Doctor and give him closure with his past lives to energize him to defeat Sutekh. Nope Jesus Christ!
I also thought maybe Sutekh would be her father and Her mom pointed at him to warn him to stay away from her or the Doctor by bringing him to her. Nope she was pointing at a sign. TF is going on? And apparently Sutekh was on the Tardis since Tom baker but The Tardis never tried warning the Doctor or she didn't shake it off when The Tardis exploded, imploded, got her soul placed in a human body, became a paradox machine etc? Yeah right.
I just feel like all Russell did, everything he's done since he's been back has been, well because he could.
"Doctor who isn't supposed to make sense dont think about it too hard."
He completely just talked down to us the entire time. "Like oh If anyone's upset grow up it's Doctor who ". I can't believe everyone gave Moffat so much bs because Davies isn't any better. I grew up on Moffat so never had rose tinted glasses for RTD. And if next season's are anything like this I might have to step out. And I really don't want to. Ncuti and Millie deserved so much better.
Me it I liked All of them
I'm with you. I'm barely hanging onto this series myself.
If I was going to bring back Sutekh, even though Big Finish had already done it years ago, I would have tried to set it up better.
Given that new fans may not be aware of Sutekh, I'd have references to Egyptian mythology in a couple of the episodes instead of having Susan popping up in different time periods. It wouldn't be every episode, allowing more stand-alone episodes, but it would be there. At first just an Egyptian symbol or something that Ruby notices and the Doctor explains to her, later we see it again and we have a story involving Egyptian artefacts, which reminds the Doctor of Pyramids of Mars but doesn't seem to obviously rip off that story.
Then, finally, we find out that there is an attempt to resurrect Sutekh. One aspect of Pyramids of Mars not picked up is that as well as possessing the corpse of Laurence Scarman, Sutekh had a human helper Ibrahim Namin who seemed happy to serve him till he was killed so might there not be a cult of Sutekh hanging around fanatically devoted to him who might try and bring him back?
Sutekh's mind is very powerful, he managed to mentally get inside the Tardis in Pyramids of Mars and the Doctor says at the end that it took Sutekh 7000 years to die (from Sutekh's point of view) so he had time to think about how he might survive. If the cult still had some Osiron technology, maybe his mind could reach out through the Vortex and contact them through that technology. Even though this series takes place over a century after Pyramids of Mars, Sutekh would still be around, so just think up a reason why he had to come back at this time.
Maybe he needs a body as a vessel to inhabit, and maybe Ruby is that vessel. That would give her some significance and be a better story arc.
The woman in the cloak would be part of the cult. Leaving her to be found as part of his plan.
I've heard a saying A Ruby in the dust, how fitting would that be if she did actually end up turning people into dust?
The Doctor figures out a way to get Sutekh out of her, saving her and dooming him o the fate he was left in in the original story.
Big Finish is where the Whoniverse really is
I gotta check out Big Finish at some point. Whovians keep raving about it.
I thought the season finale was worse than Chibnall's writing.
Nah did you forget the S11 one?
@@HishamA.N_Comicbroe I don't think I watched it.. was that the timeless child one I read about? At least that was somewhat of a bombshell.. this one was such an anticlimax
@amichaelthomas83
An anti climax. In an rtd era of doctor who, famously known for his anti climaxes. How dare he do what he always does
@@amichaelthomas83 No. It's the Battle of
It was a really disappointing finale. And even though Russell T. Davies is known for his anti-climaxes, this was the biggest whimpers he's ever put out in my opinion.
If you want to design a sonic screwdriver, make it resemble an actual screwdriver for once.
Heck even the revelation of Sutekh traveling on every adventure with the Doctor was a huge pill to swallow for me.
Besides I don’t want to be wholly negative to those who criticize this season, but all I can say is not everything is perfect about the show
That's a shame that your last dr who video was taken down again.
I enjoyed this review, though I havent watched much after the 10th doctor, these last few seasons don't inspire confidence to go back to the show, which is a shame.
Honestly, I'm only watching because my friends are still watching it. We all discuss the episode afterwards.
All that money and they ued a bungee cheal to buy rope to apparently keep control of an ultim ate god. Seriosuly!
It was really silly and in keeping with how dumb the finale was.
I'm out now, not even the hardest Dr Who can watch this tripe.
Don't blame you. if it weren't for the fact that my friends watch this show and we discuss it afterwards, I'd have dropped this show too.
Really enjoyed the video. It sums up how I feel. I was so optimistic when RTD came back, and had high hopes for Ncuti as the Doctor, but there's just been so many missteps taken that I honestly do fear for the future of the show now. I'm not one of these people who cried about woke and said. R.I.P Who, but everything just feels a bit bleak now. The series as a whole felt incoherent, Ncuti never brought that gravitas and wit to the role that other modern Doctors have, and even the best episodes had sloppy writing. I'm just so disappointed. My daughter really likes it, so I'll keep watching it with her, but I don't have heart to let on to her quite how poor I found it.
I remember watching Space Babies at midnight with my older brother and being so excited to watch it... just for it too completely and instantly disappoint me, and never get better aside from like 3 lines of dialogue being not dreadful
it wasn't AS bad as I remember on rewatch but still
True stuff. And yeah even tho I'm very cautious about the future, never gonna be one of those "rip" folks.
"Ncuti never brought that gravitas and wit to the role that other modern Doctors have" this is a very odd claim to make since this really isn't true at all.
@JustChrisWillDoTa I hope that you enjoy next season so that you and your daughter can both enjoy the season together.
it would of been better if Ruby was River's/Doctors child. this would of made sense of "there is a song deep inside her", her connection with the doctor, him saying "i know my granddaughter but i haven't meet my children yet. life of a timelord", also her connection with making it snow would of made some sense. would of made sense of them bringing up Susan so much. like that would be her future child that already traveled with the doctor. Also it would of made a good end to River all together.
They just needed to actually pay off the set up and not blue ball us. So many red herrings just for a wet fart ending. What you've suggested is far better than what we got.
Agreed with most of your episode analysis. All RTD's worst traits to the fore - rabbits out of the hat, love conquers all, sledge hammer political messaging - but worse still was the sheer sloppiness of the writing. 73 Yards felt chilling to begin with, but unravelled the further it went, and actually became insulting by the end - as did the series itself. The two old Rubies were played by different actresses.
My feeling is the next series will turn all this on its head and we'll discover this is all an alternative reality. Or (gulp) a dream...
By the way, I really like Ncuti as an actor and as the Doctor. Millie Gibson is not bad, but both were ill-served by the characterisations, artistic decisions (Dr-lite and the feckin musical numbers!) and awful plotlines. Ruby is ordinary so we're all special! Except the Doctor, of course, who's the feckin Timeless Child from nowhere and a (feared / hated) god even to the Time Lords.
Honestly, there's still the occasional good episode, but Doctor Who jumped the shark after Capaldi left.
What a waste.
I agree with all that. I don't like Ruby but Millie Gibson certainly acted her socks off in some scenes. And Ncuti Gatwa definitely proved he could be a good Doctor in some scenes. Yet the show only wants to showcase his ability to cry.
I honestly really enjoyed this season but with the bad finale & reduced ep count, it really just sours you on the rest of the thing. I'll definitely be checking out the Christmas special cuz Moffat but still cautious on the rest. And I'm glad the comments are filled with genuine criticism instead of "wOkE".
I hate when things are just dismissively labelled as woke. It helps no one. I'm glad you enjoyed the season and I hope you really like season two as well. Also, I'll definitely be checking out the Christmas special cus like you said - Moffat.
I enjoyed the middle of the series but the first two episodes and finale where extremely mid.
On one side I am glad to see better representation but RTD also has this problem of "Overcorrecting" such as the Davros retcon where he created a problem that didn't really exist before, the Sonic screwdriver stuff, the awful "Male presenting time lord" line which made me as a trans person cringe or the sutekh cultural appropriation line which made me roll my eyes.
He does good things on the casting and I loved the sutble twist about racism in dot and bubble but he also does what I like to call stupid RTD shit from time to time. Sadly I feel this more naunced criticism gets lost because there is a huge market for youtube channels screaming about "Everything I don't like is woke reeee!"
Also eight episodes is far too little, I miss having a good meaty two parter that wasn't just the series finale plus with two doctor light episodes we never had a lot of time to get to know 15.
Completely agree with everything you just said. The overcorrecting has the exact same effect on me. It just always pulls me out of the episode. Like the show is stopping to make a point regardless of whether it actually fits in the episode or not.
I also did like the subtlety of the racism in dot and bubble. I had been spoiled on it by my one friend who's a massive Dr Who fan and given this is Russell T. Davies who likes to overcorrect, I was a little worried about how it was going to be handled. But it was done quite well and in my opinion led to Ncuti Gatwa's best piece of acting in the series.
And yeah we need more episodes and more two-parters. Some of the best stories in Doctor Who are two-parters. A lot of people think David Tennant's first series as the Doctor is quite weak but everyone loves the two-parter episodes.
Personally I like the three episode stretch of Boom, 73 Yards and Dot and Bubble, but everything else was either bad or just alright, I’d say this season also really needed to be longer as there was no time to get invested in Ruby or her fairly disappointing storyline.
Completely agree on Ruby. And boom was great. 73 yards started strong but lost me and Dot and Bubble had a weak middle but a good beginning and end in my opinion.
@@liamnidas I personnaly dont like the ending of Dot but the rest of the episode is great
Completely agree. Especially at how bad and nonsensical 73 yards was. And I also felt that Ncuti at the end of Dot and Bubble was the only moment he truly felt like the Doctor. I could literally picture every other Doctor reacting in that same way.
But overall, this season felt like such a waste. The 9th Doctor had one season (and an actual reboot season at that), and he made the most of it. And other companions had one season, and made the most of it. 15 and Ruby did not make the most of their time. And I don't believe their relationship as meaningful.
I agree with what you said but really disagree on the 73 Yards take.
what? 73 Yards was excellent.
It's crazy how much more meaningful the relationship between Nine and Rose feels in comparison to Fifteen and Ruby.
Sadly I really hate 73 Yards
73 Yards starts strong and then falls apart and goes in so many different directions
As much as I dislike the Chibnall era, that Rasputin scene was better than the entirety of S1 v3
I don't like the ratings for the new season. Do you think the series needs a temporary break?
It's not just in a bad way it's dead and buried.
I like 73 Yards, yet I agree with your argumentation and overall I think you're wright. TV Show is go downhill... so like always - thank God for extended Universe (I mean other media).
I cannot understand a complaint such as, "Sutekh appeared in the classic series, so new viewers today won't know who he is and will be confused." Well guess what... In Pyramids of Mars in 1975, all viewers watching then HAD NO IDEA WHO SUTEKH WAS!!! Those viewers watched the story and learned. Gosh, sort of the way new viewers watching Empire of Dreck LEARNED! Otherwise, good wrap-up review.
The problem isn't that people won't know who he is and would be confused. The problem is that people won't know that he is a returning villain that is being RE-introduced to us as this massive plot twist. Sure, you could argue the Daleks and the Cybermen were reintroduced like this, but I'll argue this point: The Daleks and the Cybermen had been introduced at the middle of the season and served as a Chekov's gun for the finale. We had an entire episode to reintroduce these enemies and _why_ they were dangerous and show us _who_ they are only using that episode, without having to rely on Classic Who footage or lore (for instance, the Daleks being a threat in the Time War, and the Cybermen being alternative versions of an "old enemy" the Doctor faced).
Meanwhile, Sutekh just appears as a dog (which he wasn't in Pyramids of Mars), the Doctor says he did cultural appropriation of the Egyptians (which he didn't, the Egyptians saw Horus and the Osirians as gods and worshipped him) and that he had to ascend to godhood (he didn't, he was just that good). I think another commenter said it perfectly: "If you have the characters watching Pyramids of Mars in a memory TARDIS to reintroduce the villain, you've failed to reintroduce the villain."
Edit: Also, I forgot to mention this, but if you're trying to market this series as this new jumping on point for new viewers, don't bring up a villain that only appeared once. Like, you maybe you could get away by using Omega, since I believe he appeared a few times during the Fifth Doctor's tenure, but... Actually, what am I typing? Don't bring anyone from the past eras, make a new villain! Introduce a new threat to the Whoniverse. Russel managed to do most of that with Series 1 in 2005, with the Slitheen and the ghosts with Charles Dickens, and that weird thing from Satellite Five. Maybe do that again instead of picking up threats from the earlier seasons, or in this case, earlier shows.
@L1z43vr Completely agree. Perfectly put.
Ruby feels a lot like season 7 Clara imo
Mostly agree. RTD's attitude towards the fans with any criticism is very off putting and his writing is quite weak especially compared to 2005. The new Doctor is also weak spending more time crying and whining and I also didn't like the bi-generation. Worse yet for me was the way they handled Sutekh and how easy it was in defeating him. The end of this season remains one of the weakest to date sadly. Sad but true and I have heard others say the same thing- the best story of this season was the one that didn't feature the Doctor. When could that be said anywhere in the shows past before Jodie's era?
There are two reasons why people like 73 Yards. The first is that it's the best of a bad bunch. Everybody knows it's not a great episode compared to when Doctor Who was actually good. However, compared to the rest of the trash in this season, it looks like a masterpiece. People are using the rest of this specific season as a point of comparison, not Doctor Who as a whole.
The second reason is that Millie Gibson can actually act. Ncuti Gatwa can only play Ncuti Gatwa. Millie Gibson isn't just playing herself. Despite the shitty writing, she goes out of her comfort zone, which is what any actress should do.
"Ncuti Gatwa can only play Ncuti Gatwa." this is just blatant racism isn't it?
Millie Gibson really did give her all in some scenes
@friendlyotaku9525 It's not racist at all. It's a fairly common criticism levied at some actors. Like how people say that Dwayne Johnson only plays Dwayne Johnson. Or that Ryan Reynolds only plays Ryan Reynolds. Or that Mark Wahlberg only plays Mark Wahlberg. I'm wondering why you think it's racist.
@@liamnidas it is a racist criticism.
I'm ngl this video was a good effort but I feel a bit disappointed that the analysis was so shallow and surface level. You are entitled to your opinion ofc and this video is very well made, good job on that front but I feel you could've gone deeper to really explain why you feel this way
Edit: for an example so you know what I mean- your section on dot and bubble is around 1 minute long and half of it is dedicated to a minor gripe that doesn't matter and the other is dedicated to a good scene at the end. Going a little bit deeper would help us the audience understand why you like/don't like something
Great to see you here. This video popped right next to yours lol.
I actually do agree with you and it's something I've struggled with a little. Ultimately, if I'd gone any deeper with my analysis I wouldn't have released the video on time. If I was a bigger channel and I knew that there was an audience waiting for me then I'd have considered going deeper and making a longer video, and releasing later. Plus, whilst my video doesn't have the best editing in the world, it does still take me quite a while. And a longer video with more thoughts would eat up even more time. So I'm actually quite happy to hear you liked that element. There's also the fact that my last Doctor Who video got taken down by the BBC so I also didn't want to risk making a really long video just for it to get taken down again. Honestly, I was really worried that would happen to this video.
Also, the example you've given is really good. I will say that I did mention at the beginning of the video that there would be some criticisms that might seem minor or like nothing to others but were a big deal to me, Lindy not being able to walk is one of them. For me, it crossed the line. It was too silly for me to take the rest of the episode seriously. Cus, like other parts of the series, it just doesn't make sense that she can't walk properly, and just because the Doctor and Ruby both find it unbelievable doesn't suddenly rectify that. It's also the only way, before the ending where the little ball tries to kill Lindy, that Russell T. Davies tries to manufacture tension in the episode since the only time Lindy is in any danger is when she nearly walks right into the monster's mouth. It was just far too silly for me.
Also, whilst I didn't go deeper on both those points. They were both part of a wider point. Lindy not being able to walk as part of Russell T. Davies's weak writing and penchant for going really silly this season and things not making sense. And the other about Ncuti's acting. Because I criticised his Doctor a fair bit but that scene at the end is by far his best piece of acting as the Doctor this season.
Anyway, I rambled a little. Thank you for the criticism. It's good to help me improve and I'll try and take it onboard and hopefully the next video is better because of it. And again, thanks for complimenting the editing. That's another area I often stress about.
@@liamnidas Ay man don't worry we all get better and oh my god do I sympathise with the copyright struggle from the BBC, those guys take the mick man. I'm sure your next video will be better and I pray that you don't have to deal w that process again trust me its the worst part of youtube literally sucks all the fun out of it. Good effort on the video my friend
@@dwfan91- Same to you man. Wishing the best with your channel.
I really don't know about this era honestly, I enjoyed it more then you did, but the feeling is mutual
Hopefully, it can turn around next season, but this season hasn't filled me with lots of confidence.
Yeah. Unit has become some kind of cresh, it seems
This season got a lot wrong, and exicution was terrible, but it does one thing right. Thank Yeshua for Murray Gold.
lightning never strikes twice.
Facts
Not only can lightning strike twice but when something has been struck by lightning once it actually has and even higher chance of being struck by lightning a second time 🤓
people did call the sue tech thing in the fandom though
Then they're much smarter people than I am
20:52 along with your 73 yards point, yeah it doesn't basically say "oh yeah there's 2 Sutekh's now"
24:08 yeah Doctor Who's always had supernatural elements but I think it should keep them low level or at least still kind of sci-fi
It can have supernatural stuff here and there. But I watch Doctor Who because it's a sci-fi show. How many alien enemies were there even in this season?
Hopefully Series 2 will not make the same mistakes as Series 1? Hopefully 15 won't continue to be a big cry-baby? The writers/production will learn from the mistakes of Series 1. NEWSFLASH: Series 2 has already completed filming! Only special effects, music and the like left to accomplish. Series 2 had no chance of learning from the mistakes of Series 1. It's going to be a continuation. 😢
He cries because after spending time on earth as 14 his trauma is weighed down he moved on from that trauma and it made him more open to his feelings and sensitive if you payed any attention then you would understand
Yeah I doubt that season 2 will be very different to season one. The only positive change would be more of Fifteen.
That's not the issue. It doesn't matter if it makes sense or not for him to cry. It matters if the audience connects with his emotions and the majority don't seem to have because he cries so much that it has lost its impact.
I at least felt like i was watching octor Who again on some episodes... But yeah, weaker
As a gay man, I feel so bad for Ncuti Gatwa. The constant crying feels like a subliminal stereotype that's ruining the portrayal of the Doctor. And no it isn't his fault, its RTD's who I would say should know better but he's made homophobic jokes with the 9th Doctor. Also I have little respect for that man for ruining Christopher Eccelston's career after he was pointing out how creepy that Jack Harkwhatever actor was.
I agree that are a lot of issues with the show. The real problem, with the show, I feal like is the amount of episodes per season. And the writer, like seriously can't they just get an American writer.
They need more episodes. And please more two-parters. If need be, just have four two-parters.
Completely agree
It was not a bad series, it just wasn't a great series. The start and ending flopped it, but the middle was perfectly acceptable Who.
It really wasnt, i was so hopeful as well
I mean - had this been after series 10 it'd be the worst series. It's worse even than series 2 with fear her and love and monsters.
I'll put money on it's ranking when it comes in on DoctorWhoTV as being above 11, 12 and 13, but below all the others.
@@wingedferret5713 Same! I said this in another comment but I remember watching Space Babies with my cynical older brother all excitedly and being so shocked at just how awful it was, Devil's Chord was good, Boom was good aside from the awful ending, 73 yards was weird and didn't make sense, and I can't remember what I thought of the ones after that but you get the idea, if other people liked it that's fine but personally, ehhh
It's a very disappointing season
@wingedferret5713 I think we all were. What a letdown
Okay if we can't have crippled Davros because "making disabled persons villains are wrong"... why we can have non-binary villains as Maestro? I mean LGBTQ community already higly marginalized around the world, I don't think showing one of them as demonic entity trying to suck out all the music from Universe doing these people any favors. I'm not trying to say whom we can or can't show as villains - only to demonstrate RTD's logic is far from flawless.
I Liked All of Them Season One Was Amazing
I'm glad you enjoyed it and, even though I didn't, I hope you like the next season too.
@@liamnidas Thank you
Agreed.
I LOVED IT! It was Fantastic!
I've given up on the show again. The chibnall era made me turn it off, and trying to sit through the garbage they put out this season did not bring me back. It's over. It's done. Get it off TV. Let it rest for another decade and maybe someone who actually cares about it can bring it back and make it worth watching again.
"Get it off TV" because you don't enjoy it so everyone else should go without?
If it weren't for my friends watching this season, I'd have dropped this show
@friendlyotaku9525 That's a very fair response
@@liamnidas I mean yeah it's fine if you don't enjoy it but it would be unfair to deprive others of it.
I stopped watching it after jodie left i liked jodie as a doctor her story line i didnt like but this series with the new doctor I really hate dont like thr new doctor at all. Wjll never watch it again only seen one episode of the new series as the doctor wasnt in it he told fans to touch grass we did
Don't you think it funny the best episode are when the doctor wasnt in them
19:09 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Considering this is the only negative Season 1 review I've seen, it's safe to say the reviews are mostly positive.
Most reviews I've seen have been negative, at least on RUclips. That said I would say the response has been more mixed than anything. It's got a score of 6.1/10 on IMDb and on rotten tomatoes critics have it at 95% fresh whereas audiences have it at 27% rotten.
I would say critics overall liked it but audiences were very split. Although everyone agrees it's better than the Chibnall era of the show.
@@liamnidas It's certainly more consistent than Chib.
@@CyberController- Undeniably more consistent. We don't ever want to relive that era.
Bipolar disordered Doctor as the result of bi-generation 😁/ 😭
I’m just going to say, some of your criticisms are just bad. I also think that this is the worse Season of since 2005, not counting Chibnial.
For starters while yes I agree 15 cries too much, that isn’t his only quality. Ncuti does a great job showing a lot of the different emotions of the Doctor. When it comes to this Doctor we haven’t gotten much for a character study of him and that I think is unfortunate, I get it is annoying, but I wouldn’t write her off.
When it comes to your complains about Ruby, you could apply that to most Doctor Who companions. They never really go into building up the relationship, what matters typically is the dynamic they have. I’d say Ruby works really well with 15, although the exit felt very forced.
To be 15 and Ruby helped carry a lot of this season, because the Christmas Special and The 1st Episode weren’t good. I liked the 2nd Episode for the most part. LOVED BOOM and it is a CLASSIC MUST WATCH. I agree with your issues with 73 Yards because they never answer any questions and completely switch to a different villain. Also this is a minor thing, but stop saying that Roger is the most dangerous Prime Minister because remember when The Master destroyed the Earth. I think Dot and Bubble needed more time because they never get me to care about any other than Ricky because they are a bunch of rich spoiled brats, it could of been good but that made it ok. Then when it comes to Rogue, it was fine, was it dumb that shows keep trying to ignore the very big racism from the Elitist British people, yes. Doctor Who tends to do this at times, and when needing to handle stories in the past I get it. Also Rogue isn’t just New Jack, my big issue with him is he feels more like another Doctor and they moved past him being a bounty hunter far too quickly. When it comes to Legend of Ruby Sunday and Empire of Death I feel Sutekh’s return is similar to The Master where they build him up but it felt ending Empire was like most Doctor Who Finales rushed. It isn’t an excuse, but let’s stop acting like that is unique. Also about Rose, she is the most waisted character in Doctor Who, I feel like she is brought in, just to be their.
With the Ruby Mystery, this was a bad ending. If it was something that Ruby would only focus on than maybe, but when she makes it snow something the Doctor hasn’t seen before, or something that scares a god, then that is just bad.
I liked the video, even if I didn’t agree with some of your criticisms, I want the show to be better and hope in the future it is.
15 cries a lot and yeah, that is the point. he's a more emotionally vulnerable Doctor and I love that!
Ncuti Gatwa really could be a great Doctor but I agree they keep boxing him in and making him one note.
Also agree about Roger. They did the same thing with Sutekh. "He's the most dangerous enemy I've ever face" or something like that. I wonder when we'll hear that again.
Glad you liked the video even if we didn't fully agree. But it's good that we can disagree on things and still discuss them rationally because we both want the show we love to improve.
@friendlyotaku9525 I'm glad you liked it but for me it was too often. It's not going to feel as impactful or powerful when he next cries because he does it so frequently.
@@liamnidas he is emotionally vulnerable and that is okay
Waaa new thing bad
That's childish
@@liamnidas yes it is, yet it is the opinion you hold
@@tom_4615 Mate you need to learn to be more respectful of other people. Look at the other comments on this video. There are plenty of people who disagree with me yet they have the maturity to discuss their disagreements with me. They don't just mock and be condescending.
@@liamnidas actually I don’t need to do anything.
Your points were nitpicks, i see these types of “arguments” for every new era of the show and even though you might not realise, you only prefer rtds original run because of nostalgia
Morya farty😂
Glad you liked it
@@liamnidas I'm a grown man but jokes like that will never not be funny to me haha
As classic fan I always assume when someone says RTD1 was their favourite that that is where they started and they're getting the standard *my era* boost.
For me it's always the Moffat era - Hinchcliffe and Moffat.
So fortunately I wasn't expecting anymore than an improvement over Chibnall, no rose tinted glasses on me.
So I wasn't expecting a lot - but I actually still was disappointed - I prefer Chibnall. It's still better than season 24 though.
👎👎👎👎
Well your profile doesn’t look like a 2005er at all ;)
I think even some people's lowest expectations got unexpectedly shattered.
@@redfieldblair My profile doesn't look anything. and pure nonsense, deserves to get responded in this way, specially ignorant people who think profile image is the sign of what the person loves or what's great.
The Moffat era was good, but nothing can compare to how amazing series 4 was. I'd argue there wasn't a single weak episode in the season. There's a reason that the Doctor-Donna pairing was brought back for the specials. That was the highlight of the show
For me only the finale was bad, RTD didn't do right, but the season in general was good, way superior than Chibnal's era
*only* the finale? What about Space Babies? And the singing trolls?
@@redfieldblair space babies is ok, and devil chord I love it
@@MarcosSantos-dj6lk I'm envious, you must be having fun more often that most.
@@redfieldblair was fun not the best season, but was good ''73 Yards'' and ''Dot and Bubble'' was my favorites
See now for me it’s all about the ending. Original Blade runner 3*, directors cut 5*, so both those episodes fell flat for me.
73 yards poses so many explicit questions to the viewer and answers none - in fact the one answer it did give (apart from everyone guessing it after the first time jump), that the watcher was Ruby just raised more questions.
Likewise Dot and Bubble fell apart after the death of Ricky, firstly why genetically engineer slugs to kill people alphabetically? You don’t need the slugs we can see in what the dot can do. And why alphabetically? Computers are really good at multitasking.
Also is the point that they’re all racists or that technology has destroyed their empathy in general? Her killing of Ricky means she’s a psychopath, an equal opportunity psychopath. It felt like the episode had two points it wanted to make but couldn’t pick one and so botched both.
I didn’t really like this season because it’s not like doctor who at all and it needs to be changed back to what it was before and never do this again.
grow up, things need to change so that the show don’t get stuck
I’m 31 years old, Let me remind you.
" it’s not like doctor who at all" pretty sure it stars a regenerating alien who travels through time and space in a time and space machine shaped like a 1960s Police Box, saving planets and civilizations alongside a companion. That's Doctor Who!
Russell T. Davies is certainly taking us in a very different direction to before.
For a show about change some Doctor Who fans really don't like change, huh.
Change can both be good and bad. Just because something has changed and just because that show has changed, doesn't mean it is above criticism. If we criticise it that means that it can continue to change hopefully for the better.
every time you say MY OPINION am gonna sip tea. the my opinion drinking game. the crying is emotiive and hits at really special moments and really translates his feeling. Your issue with a man crying is....odd. He's absolutely not boring or bland, so ya completely wrong there. Tom bakers doctor once said "theres no point in being grown up if you cant be childish sometimes" he's not childish all the time, and we've seen a sneak peack at the darkness coming out every so often. The musical number was awesome, and its strange you dont like musicals when most scifi shows are essentially musicals, music makes the theme. Space babies was a very very very silly episode ahah. The music number was very silly and fun, and you can keep repeating the line, theres lots of songs that do that, its a thing. it happens because the magic is still in the air. The 4th wall breaks are really fun, its not "crap" Boom was great! finally we agree. your minor thing is blah, we know he's going to be ok, but he doesn't. We are seeing is episode. 73 yards was very much out side the box and hugely imginative, the atmosphere, the story, the music, the villian was spectacular. PART OF THE MSYERY IS not knowing what she said, not specificly knowing was such a great idea to creatre suspense. the not knowing everything gives it extra, and your not suppose to make sense of it, this is the new era and new rules of reality of things not making sense. its a great episode. "nothing special about ruby" we've had enough hero companions, we've had the chosen one ARC, so why cant we just have a normal person? the idea of them projecting that SHE'S SO SUPER IMPORTANT makes sense in this new reality. anyway, am done here. Ive got a general idea of what your critising and alot of it is either really petty stuff or just stuff you can'[t seam to grasp. good day sir.
"The musical number was awesome" but they never gave an explanation to it
"The 4th wall breaks are really fun" it was better when it wasn't like every episode possibly multiple times? like yes I know it did 4th wall breaking before but this season they do it to an annoying degree
"we've had the chosen one ARC, so why cant we just have a normal person" because they make it so she isn't, she can literally make it snow randomly, idk about you, but I can't do that. Maybe I'm dumb, but Boom didn't make me cry.
@@tzarg "The musical number was awesome" but they never gave an explanation to it." Aftereffects of Maestro's meddling with music returning to the world, that's what causes it.
And they don't break the fourth wall in every episode.
If you've turned me saying in my opinion into a drinking game then you should easily be able to understand why I didn't like Ncuti Gatwa constantly crying. It's the exact same thing. Happens too often.
Most sci-fis are not essentially musicals because they don't have songs and dances in them. Don't know what you mean by most sci-fis are essentially musicals.
You're referring to a chorus in a song. Yes, most songs have a chorus that they repeat throughout the song. But most songs have other verses where they say something completely different to the chorus. That is why the musical number failed because it lacked variety.
Ruby's mom being ordinary would have been fine had they not spent ages setting it up to be extraordinary. Even Gods wanted to know who Ruby's parents were and why it was always snowing.
@tzarg Completely agree
@friendlyotaku9525 Still happened far too much, especially in comparison to previous Doctor Who seasons
Why did I stop watching Doctor Who
I became a fan of Doctor Who around September of 1977 when my roommate introduced the show to me. My first Doctor Who story was “The Brain of Morbius” part one. (Season 13, serial 5) The Doctor was Tom Baker, and Elisabeth Sladen was his companion Sarah Jane Smith. There were elements of Gallifreyan history and it talked about regeneration. Directed by Christopher Barry, written by "Robin Bland" (Terrance Dicks rewritten by Robert Holmes), script editor Robert Holmes, and produced by Philip Hinchcliffe. One of the greatest teams in Doctor Who history. Has to be one of the better first stories for any newcomer.
I stayed a fan of Doctor Who, watching when I could and reading any book I could find about the show, pre-internet, and Doctor Who stories, pre-VHS. I had no issues with a female Doctor. Counting the War Doctor, there were 13 incarnations, which was the established limit. We know that other Timelords had survived the Time War. The Doctor knowing his time is at the end runs across a female Time Lady and takes her on as his student. At the time of his death, he passes on all his knowledge and memories by telepathic contact.
That didn’t happen, because as some of us recognized at the time and we all know now showrunner Chris Chibnall was more interested in checking as many WOKE boxes as he was in the show. It seems Russell T. Davis has the same goal this time around.
Not being happy with the way, a female Doctor was introduced was not enough for me to stop watching Doctor Who. I got the DVD set when it came out. (That is how I view Doctor Who) Overall I felt Jodie Whittaker did a good job as the Doctor. Any fault anyone can have with her can be placed on Chibnall. He made the same mistake that was made by John Nathan-Turner did with Peter Davison. Three companions are too much when introducing a new Doctor, especially the first female Doctor.
The only person who benefited from Chibnall's time as showrunner is JNT. He will no longer be remembered by some fans as the worst showrunner in the history of the show.
Timeless Child is the story that ended Doctor Who for me. Chibnall completely destroyed what canon there was, and he turned the Timelords into child molesters. “The Doctor Who Timeless Child retcon subtly erases a classic legend.” screenrant.com/doctor-who-timeless-child-retcon-other-tecteun/
I have not completely given up on Doctor Who. I am so thankful for Big Finish. I believe the only way Davis can save the show is to pull a trick from “Dallas” and bring Whittaker back for a dream episode and erase her last two seasons or use Gatwa to erase the last three.
Chibnall has undoubtedly cemented himself as the worst show runner of Doctor Who. Even if Russell T. Davies completely ruins Doctor Who, he'll still have the Ninth and Tenth Doctor runs whereas Chibnall will forever be stuck with his sole run as show runner.
I disagree Season 1 / Series 14 is a Good season
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I didn't but hopefully even if I don't like the next one I hope that you continue to enjoy Ncuti's era as the Doctor.
POLITICAL CORRECTNESS GET`S A KICKING AS THE SHOW ROLLS INTO THE LONG GRASS, WERE NO ONE CARES WHICH RABBIT HOLE IT DROPS IN
THANK YOU
Bro reeeeeeaaallly missed the point of 73 yards, worst take on it I’ve ever seen.
Yapping about how it doesn’t make sense when it does, he just didn’t get it
Then explain it to me
If dont like change was a person
Change can be positive, but it can also be negative. It's important to criticise things for the sole purpose of helping them to change.
Hold on, you mean to tell me that, the ending of "Dot and Bubble" where "The Doctor" throws a fit at people being racist towards him. That's what made him feel like The Doctor to you? MY DUDE, The Doctor had no encounter with people being racist towards him, his whole ass life. Hell that moment for me, made him look and feel like a powerless human instead of a powerful timelord. That's not how The Doctor would respond, not at all.
So...your criticism of the finale is that they brought back one of the best remembered and most iconic villains of the last 60 years, but you, supposedly a fan, didn't know who he was? Get over yourself! Your ignorance does not change the fact that for most of us who've actually watched the classic series, this was a big deal! Also, the fourteenth Doctor 's story is done, that's been made clear. Forget him. Also, the greatest era of Doctor Who was the Tom Baker era. Educate yourself, child! And we classic fans are not "a subsection of the fan base". We ARE the fan base!
Sutekh appeared in one (really good) episode 50 years ago, and this season is literally supposed to be a jumping on point for Disney+ people, how would THEY know about it? I'm pretty sure that's his point, yes, as someone that watched Pyramids of Mars, his return was a big deal, but you can see his point
@@tzarg Not really. Sutekh is one of the most well remembered villains in Who history, and Pyramids is generally considered one of the best stories. Every Who fan I know could pretty much recite the dialogue from every scene by heart.
@@tonyingram1337 I was the only person in my entire family who even knew the episode existed.
Also, that doesn't change the fact that for knew viewers, who joined on Disney+, won't know who Sutekh is, or what all the memory TARDIS pieces are from
All of which I consider irrelevant. It's a sixty year old show. If they don't know something, a two minute Google search will educate them. As far as long term fans are concerned, Sutekh is well known.
This comment sounds entitled as fuck, and that’s coming from a massive Classic Who and 4th Doctor fan. Giving the rest of us a bad name.
Jodie, Tennant 2 and Gatwa aren't canon, never have been, never will be. We must hate them and soon they will be wiped
Gatwa's Doctor is a wimpy sad and cringy man who should be wiped from the canon. That's what will happen when I'm showrunner
You think they're gonna allow some childish moron to be showrunner?? You need some maturity first. Literally talking like some Dalek instead of a real person.
"wiped from canon" 🤓🤓👆
He did cry too much
