@@speed65752 Yes it was a bad move. I do not know how they can fix the show now because it has completely taken away what made doctor who so spectacular and mysterious. CC needs to go!

senegal 98 it ruined the entire concept of dr who, imagine the entire 70 year mystery of Dr who, its in the fucking name its a mystery thats the intrigue, but now its ruined, its the most idiotic explanation on who the doctor is with so many plot holes. Chris Chibnall has ruined Dr who for everyone
I was thinking, "but we've seen earth in other episodes.... both in the near future and the far future. we know it lives on just fine. builds several empires in fact. were good" now of course this implies that someone else is messing around with time perhaps trying to fuck up the human race, or that the doctors own actions have messed earths future up. but i guarantee noone at the BBC is thinking that.
@Billy O'sullivan I guess I shouldn't be that critical of the show. I liked the David Tenant and Billy Piper combo, and the big "Dalect" reveal. But it seemed like they just kept trying to reinvent the character(?) after that.
Fear Her was fine it was just that that era was so strong as a whole. The better episodes of the later series are worse than the worst episodes of the 2005-2009 era.
Remember when The Doctor was known by pretty much every person or machine in the multiverse as a legendary warrior whose mere name can spread panic throughout his enemies? Clearly, the BBC don't.
The speech Matt Smith gives the alien eyeballs right after regenerating gave me chills, he was so cool! Fast forward to "you've got to do better", and I'm wondering where his balls went.
Matt Smith had that goofy kind-of ADHD side, but he could also do the moments when the Doctor's cheerful mask slips and he becomes bloody scary. Can you imagine Jody Whittaker trying to do Peter Capaldi's anti-war speech from The Zygon Inversion? Or Matt Smith's speech from The Rings of Akhaten? Or trying to even get CLOSE to David Tennant as the Timelord Victorious from The Waters of Mars (where the Doctor was vastly more scary than the evil water monsters)? Nope, me neither :/
Matt Smith, like Jodie Whitaker, had never seen an episode of Doctor Who, past or present, when he got the role. The difference is that upon landing the role, Matt Smith immediately binge watched 200 episodes of classic Doctor Who (where he discovered his love of Patrick Troughton's 2nd Doctor), the entire modern series, and did a fuck ton of research on the lore of the show, whereas Jodie Whitaker did nothing but think about how she can inject her political beliefs into the show.
There's a recording of Whittaker doing Hartnell's "One day I will be back" speech. Absolutely mortifying. Somehow, she made it sound like one of those teachers who likes to think of themselves as "inspiring," giving a moralistic pep talk to a graduating class. There's no tone of sorrow, or fondness, or... any depth or nuance at all. It's almost impressive how vapid it is.
I love how Chibnall had 57 years of possible canon material and talented British actors to work with to bring us this atrocious last few years of fan murder. Great work. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
That was the last episode I watched before giving up entirely. I'm really not sure if this is serious, or just a long running joke with some kind of genius payoff that we aren't aware of yet.
bowser515 there is a genius pay off mate. Division in society. Communities of whites, blacks, Asians all frothing at the bit because they’re either being “oppressed” or scapegoated. To busy being furious with one another to see that companies like the BBC, Amazon, Google etc are getting richer and richer, whilst their lives stay the same. I suppose it’s just a coincidence that studies have shown that the more culturally diverse a work force is, the less likely it is to unionise. Well they’re gonna widen those divides as much as possible, and they’re going to lobby the politicians for as much immigration as possible. Get those divisions nice and wide and watch them fight each other. Oh you meant for us? Yea, no pay off for us I’m afraid.
@Mr. Tessera Ah. No one ever told me "eating crayons will make you dumb" as a child. It was "eating crayons will make you sick and you'll end up in the hospital " or some nonsense.
@Mr. Tessera You are misremembering that Simson's episode. Homer didn't eat the crayon. He stuck the crayon up his nose and it somehow ended up lodged in his brain. I also think he means that people who are stupid have to eat the purple crayons to figure out that they taste like paraffin wax and not grape whereas smarter people can gauge both that the taste is terrible just by examining the crayon and also by the fact that they know crayons aren't food. I would say the same about paste eaters.
"It was very cliched. It was very routine running up and down corridors and silly monsters. It’s very much what the audience was expecting. It’s not really very challenging for them to watch. It’s a very traditional sort of thing that people would expect Doctor Who to fall into. It would be nice to have something totally different from the norm, just for a change." - Wise words from Chris Chibnall in 1986
The special effects on this show has always been far behind the times. That didnt stop the show from being great for 40 years. The effects literally have nothing to do with it being a horrendous piece of shit.
@carlos Rivas yeah, but it had the excuse of being made in the 60's. Watch any Sci Fi from that time, they're all cheesed up the whazoo, most fictional tv programs were. Most of it was in black and white, half of it today is still images, I can't comment on if it was back then, it's older than my mum. Point is, you're comparing apples to oranges, what you should be looking at is the 2005 reboot, a more grounded affair following a war veteran suffering through PTSD and hiding it behind layers of comedy and anger
How to write dr who: Doctor going somewhere Troubles happen Doctor is in trouble and seems to be out of solution, ppl's life is at stake All hopes seems lost Doctor figure out the solution/knew it all along Doctor starts to take control of the situation Doctor is now with his/her commanding presence, banish the villain/got the hero moment (either with speech, intimidation, charisma, hard choice, sacrifice) Doctor is Victorious (at some point with great cost, including his/her life) Why cant they got this right?
Yeah, there’s been a lot of that happening lately. These days finding a well known science fiction property that hasn’t been reduced to this level is a real challenge.
You mean it isn't a "Saturday Morning" live-action kids show that has, somehow, lasted this long without running out of storylines and/or started repeating itself ad nauseum?
Someone in my class watches Doctor Who, so having watched the series myself, asked him what his favourite doctor was. He replied with the 13th doctor... The amount of braincells lost went so high that not even numbers could count. Considering we are both in the eight grade it is slightly excusable (young and doesn't appreciate art or media), but seriously, of all the doctors to pick. You pick the worst one yet.
Be funny if the REAL Doctor would show up and ask, "Who the hell are YOU?" Be even funnier if The Doctor was played by Sylvester McCoy. He'd still be good after all these years.
In series 4 they had a “budget” episode (midnight) and it actually had a interesting storyand kept the monster hidden which made it 10x scarier. That episode probably cost less to make than this one like wtf
Just looking at the picture you chose for "strong female character" you can see that she had zero trigger discipline and zero muzzle control. You can tell she's never been around a real firearm in her entire life.
Finally! Somebody else who sees and understands firearms incompetence in sh!t media like this. The BBC are full of these bozos who just think "Gunz R Badd" without ever even trying to learn and understand more about them. Maybe, if they (as well as loads of others) took the time to research things they are ignorant of, they wouldn't complain or whine as much. It reminds me of that failure Alec Baldwin: an anti-gun moron who, guess what, doesn't understand enough about properly handling firearms and ends up accidentally fatally shooting someone. (may his victim rest in peace)
@@xerobeta I respect your thoughts about that. Personally I've always felt that it was a thematically appropriate facade, even if they did go overboard at times with portraying him as a goofball especially in Series 7. This is considering with the Day of the Doctor introducing the War Doctor, that meant Eleven is actually supposed to be the final regeneration of the Doctor and no going back from there until the Time of the Doctor's events grants him more regenerations. That meant once he dies without those regenerations, it's over for him period, and instead of acting old and weary in thinking about all the losses he had, he decides to cope in his own way with a carefree at times childlike nature, plus the dialog of him being named by the Moment as "The man who forgets", it's clear on why he did so even how he ended up with Amy as his companion when she was a child herself and all. Not to mention when he comes to terms with who he is, like in Rings of Akhaten, his speech reflects on how he's been all this time, of having lived too long and seen too much, which reminded me of Ten when he also becomes reflective convincingly enough (to me anyway).
I wouldn't be too hasty to mock the special effects. You have to concede that this show has a long history of canvas caves. everything else is spot on of course.
What ever happened to New Earth that he visited with Rose and later Martha? Feels like they've done away with so much of the original writings. 😔 Guess our world's looking a lot bleaker now, so Doctor Who must be also.
It's not a *bad* idea per se but at least draw out the mystery a bit not straight from "what's this planet?" to "Oh, it's Earth" without any transition. Have hints, subtlety. Not sure the writer understands either.
yeah, right? like the eleventh hour, the "i'm the doctor... basically... RUN" and everyone is like OH, SHIT, WE NEED TO RUN... or the moment of the fury of a timelord... i miss those times...
@@akodaah13-e32 I just miss the Dr in general. The last season of Capaldis Dr was an absolute chore to get thru. Bill was just the worst. Every episode they had to shoehorn in her telling someone she was gay. There’s just no need for it. Let it be known like once or twice with a sly remark or something natural, we didn’t need reminders like a bat to the head every episode. We get it, y’all are woke. Great. The new “Dr” is just the worst. The Timeless Child bullshit retcons and ruins so many of the great past stories. The Dr dying on Trenzalore was a storyline that stretched from multiple seasons, it was a really big deal, and then Clara got the Time Lords to sacrifice their only way back to give him more regenerations, except the Child story line totally wiped out the impact of that. It also wipes out any real drama since he can always regenerate. They’ve just shat on 50yrs of story telling and canon so they can have a female and minority Dr and Master. So pathetic. There were so many easier ways to add a female or black time lord it’s not even funny. Hell, Jenny, The Drs Daughter, is still out there roaming the galaxy, why not just bring her back? I really tried to give this new “dr” a chance. I really did. I made it 10 min into her debut, and I just couldn’t do it. It’s not all her fault, altho admitting she did zero research into a character that’s been around for 50+ yrs was a massive mistake and it shows, the biggest problem is the writing. Chibnal is just the worst. He clearly cares way more about his politics, and bowing to the altar of Wokeness than he cares about good storytelling. I’d say the BBC is 40% at fault, Chibnal is 50% and what’s her name is 10%. She should be higher, but the BBC and Chibnal brought her in, and they control the stories, so they have to take most of the blame.
@@srilemobitelsrile8809 I just watched that one the other day. Love me some Amy Pond as a kiss a gram. I miss the music that used to play as his plan was nearing the end and he saves the day. Now that Whitaker and Chibby are out, I pray they do a “Dallas” it was a dream style reboot of their time running things. Start the dream after Capaldis first season. Just make Missy a daughter of the Master the same way Jenny was made from the Dr and all will be right with the world. Ratings can go back up, and us displaced Whovians can finally come home.
I have watched every episode, every season of Dr. Who for most of my adult life. I loved this show. It was the only must watch tv for me. 4 doctors at least . After 1 and 1/2 season of this dumpster fire…. I was gone and never looked back. It makes me sad to think about the end of a era.
The “Go away now” at the end of this particular video was particularly aggressive….and heart breaking. My brother loves Doctor who, and I only took an interest in the later parts before this new garbage. There were some genuinely cool moments in Doctor Who, and I’m fucking pissed that there are people who think this kind of thing is your k to do to massive, sometimes very easily agitated fandoms, all to appeal to a whiny, insecure minority of people who need to be constantly stroked to make themselves feel good.
Wow, I wish I was a fly on the wall when the writer pitched the scene where two people sucking on a thumb is supposed to be a dignified gesture of awesomeness.
Remember when Matt Smith's Doctor teased saying something similar to 'Sup Fam' as his catchphrase, but then his companions shamed him out of it because it was terrible? Well now the Doctor is saying 'Fam' unironically.
Well first is was a direct recycling of the joke with “fam” being played off as a joke. But even then, they couldn’t risk offending anyone out there that unironically says “fam” so they made it so the companions actually LIKED it.
You know, for the first 8 minutes of this I honestly thought "Doctor Impersonator" meant that there was a sub-plot of another timelord impersonating the doctor.
I like the current doctor, but it was sure an odd moment when she complemented Hyphen's tail. Wouldn't that be like her saying to a human female "Great breasts"?
Executives: "How do we write a good episode?" Screenwriter: "Oooh, I know! Global Warming and Capitalism Bad!" Executives: "Ahhh, we knew we could rely on your genius!"
Wow so anyone in the whole of time and space can time travel and teleport if they just have a gift voucher... Suddenly the Tardis is entirely obsolete!!
The whole series seemed bad. Look what they did to the Master. I liked all of the Doctos except this one and Matt Smith, who had a similar personality of being drugged up with speed, also his sidekick had more of a role and she was annoying. I tried to like her but it is to much of a chore. I rather have had a series based solely on the War Doctor. I loved the episodes with him. Back when they had better writing, directing and graphics. Dr Who used to be great.
I started with Christopher Eccelston & Matt Smith, so I have some sort of nostalgia for them, though Nine is a bit bland & Eleven is a bit too fast to watch without having a migraine.
Watching that cube-thing being assembled I couldn't avoid thinking of the Lament Configuration, and that they had been teleported to Cenobite Hell. But I was wrong. We are the ones that were teleported to Cenobite Hell, and the people in Dr. Who are the Cenobites.
A theory has formed in my mind: The current Dr. Who exists only so The Drinker can review it. They have invented a whole new type of entertainment, proxy pasta, and I love it.
If just for 2 or 3 months I would ask... _" Doctor... Who? "_ Yeah I discovered the franchise only a few months ago. The older episodes are masterclass.
How to Sum Up The "Chibnall Era" of Doctor Who: The only era in all of Doctor Who where people were actively rooting for the Dalek to save the universe and kill the main cast. But not even the Daleks could save this show now.
@@silentpoet75 Could do, but the Daleks' obsession with purity and supremacy would forbid them from that. Then again, hearing the Daleks exchange insults with other races like in Doomsday would be cool.
When season 13 ends I picture the following scene: Whittaker wakes up after regeneration. She re-regenerates as Whittaker... She starts out as a typical doctor, finding herself but wondering, because it seems all to familiar... Then she looks into a mirror, realizes, that she just stayed the same with visible disappointment (if there has ever been any good use of deepfake, that would be it, because I doubt that Whittaker will play this). She realizes, that she has just started as this doctor again, looks into the camera (4th wall break) and says: "Oh no... not that shit again!" and wills herself into another regeneration. Or even better: They get Capaldi for another shot... He wakes up from what has seemed to be regeneration-indicated lost of consciousness... He realizes that he just had the worst fever dream ever. "Damn, this regeneration feels like it takes an eternity!" and then he regenerates and the REAL season 11 starts. (that's my favourite)
"Uhhhh so we need Ryan to be offscreen for a bit while we write the other parts, what can we do about that?" "I dunno, just have him sit in the corner sucking his thumb."
So I guess the "End of the solar system" episode with the 9th Doctor never happened. He said that Earth would thrive and prosper...but this just gives it a middle finger
specialunit 042 I do agree that 11 could’ve been better but I don’t understand why you don’t like 12 because yes it could’ve been better but many amazing episodes were written during 12’s tenure.
When Ryan gets hit the doctor says they aren't looking for trouble. When Bill faces racism the doctor right hooks the guy. Sheer contrast in how much more basic and boring doctor who has become.
@ryan norris you call me a snowflake yet you're the one getting all pissed lmao If you don't like the series 11 and 12 then that's on you A lot of us actually like it Go take your whining to someone who cares
@ryan norris where exactly did I get pissed off? All you've done so far is attack like a cornered animal You're all bark and no bite Have a terrible day ;)
@ryan norris who said I'm in love with the stories? Just because I like them doesn't mean I think they're perfect and no I'm not calling it art, I know it's far from it, but still doesn't mean I can't enjoy watching it You call me a little shit yet you're first instinct when I responded was to go full stupid and insult me Get a life you troll
It's really saddening that it's come to this. Not to sound sappy, but the Doctor's speech at the end of the Van Gogh episode helped me a lot, during a dark time in my life...
it would have been better if that speech had come from maybe Ryan or Yaz though, the doctor is a character that although does present a lot of speeches, those sappy speeches aren't something the doctor usually comes up with. Even if their personalities changed, I think Jodie changed this doctor too much, although characters like David Tennant and Matt Smith were very different doctors, they held the same essence that the writers for Jodie failed to uphold.
Same here that “life is a pile of good things and bad things” speech really has got me through the toughest times. Feel like Chibnall has completely forgotten about the emotion/darkness in doctor who
No, no; I felt the same way. A friend of mine committed suicide a few years after the episode aired; that speech helped me immensely while I was trying to cope.
So let me get this straight. A resort, working in the far ruined future sends magical transporting invitations BACK in time. People use these invitations in the past to send themselves and the people around them unwittingly into the FUTURE to this "vacation spot." The resort needs money (from time travelers? Is modern money still valuable in the future? Can I take my roman empire currency and use it in today's best resorts?) so it can fund terraforming Earth back to being habitable. Because for some reason, the resort has the ability to pay a likely alien species to help save the planet. (How does this resort make/provide food to its clients?) They couldn't just send a warning back through time, with information on how to build their technology to counter global warming? Here's the technology you need capable of mass producing food, space level protection, time travel and more. Oh, and just make this climate mcguffin so the world doesn't get ruined and have humans evolve into monsters of what must have been millions of years. The whole "Dystopia is NOW" shtick that people are pushing is getting so old...
To be fair, I don’t think they send the invites back in time. The Doctor must’ve gotten them the last time he/she was in that time period. That doesn’t make it any better mind you, how the hell do the things manage to transport them to the resort through time if they’re not built for it. At best they’re not connected to the teleporters on the resort but then it would just send them based on coordinates and they’d end up on regular earth in Siberia at whatever time they’re in right now. They’d have to be just at the right time by complete chance for it to work. And well if they work that way then the plot crumbles the second that old guy dies and they could’ve just teleported back to the resort if they had packed cubes with them.
hey! i figured out how to stop imaginary climate change. just pay more global taxes to issreal and everybody will not die in 6 years. its simple. just gib gib more money.
And the tragedy is that Colin Baker wasn't actually bad... the writing was at a nadir and through a confluence of backroom issues, he never got a proper chance to really grow into the role. But he did do some good work in some awful episodes.
Why you all so keen on hating her? I think she's excellent. Her take on the doctor is rather complex. Maybe you have to suffer trauma to see it i don't know.
Best line on new Who Oh I'm real handy me...at least that's what me boyfriend says... And yes, that was of course a male security guard talking about his boyfriend. Cadburys creme egg anyone?
At one time the Tardis was so impregnable that the Daleks and the Cybermen could not force thier way in. Now robot Amazon delivery types and even f****ing gift cards can break the force field. Dr. Who ................ something SO GOOD that is now SO VERY VERY BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You don't understand, it's all a TARDIS plano to suicide itself because it can't stand listening to the Doctor and the "diversity fam" talking inside it.
Plot holes and stupidity: - No oxygen outside, but two fires burning in the tunnel. Fires need oxygen. - Monsters breathe out oxygen. Doc refills her entire oxygen tank from just two breaths from a monster. - They all go down the tunnel, but don’t close the hatch behind them, allowing the monsters to follow.
I have something to ask. Why did her oxygen tank run out of oxygen so quick ? Do they ever explain that because I don't remember. Plus it's hard to understand anything without subtitles.
I actually started rewatching the Christopher Eccelston series which largely revitalized the franchise, and in the second episode, they've already established that humanity managed to survive and preserve the Earth for more than 5 billion years - overcoming "global warming", of all things. The series is bit too campy and smiley, but it had a great blend of optimism, futurism with a profound enough sense finality. Which, compared to the Doctor who lectures three randoms in the TARDIS about the potential of all of humanity ... what the actual heck.
@Joshua Simpson Oh shit you're right. I totally forgot about that. Would be great if I could watch the series without having the buy a streaming service that doesn't exist for another six months though ;-;
Yeah, throughout most of those episodes it was "look what the humans created, why have things gone so sour?" and then it's realised to be the Daleks always getting in there
I am imagining a struggling young actress who almost quit and finally a part on the BBC and told everyone about it. Then she had to tell them which episode... ouch.
Remember when a hostile planet were no human can survive with a resort on it was treated seriously, as in they DIDN'T go out onto the planet's surface and the idea that something can survive out there was bloody terrifying, hmmmmmm nope.

When the doctor regenerates, there's always a period where he doesn't know who he is, where he is or what he's supposed to be doing, and he's kind of running around like a chicken with its head cut off.

I never thought Doctor Who would take the cliche "the real monster is man" so literally.
With a tagline as twatish as "Space for All" I think the real monster is man... the successful, white, male kind.
I was thinking, "but we've seen earth in other episodes.... both in the near future and the far future. we know it lives on just fine. builds several empires in fact. were good"
now of course this implies that someone else is messing around with time perhaps trying to fuck up the human race, or that the doctors own actions have messed earths future up. but i guarantee noone at the BBC is thinking that.
Why not? They've done it so. Many. Times.
I mean, the episode Midnight did it so well

"White Men being Deadbeat-Dads."
Yeah, tell that to Gon Freecss.
The speech Matt Smith gives the alien eyeballs right after regenerating gave me chills, he was so cool!
Fast forward to "you've got to do better", and I'm wondering where his balls went.
Well, he WAS. The Eleventh Doctor deliberately faked his own death in order to let people forget the word "warrior" being associated with his name.
Matt Smith and David Tennant arcs were freaking epic. The pros for both vastly outweighed the cons, plus the emotional payoffs were intense.
Matt Smith had that goofy kind-of ADHD side, but he could also do the moments when the Doctor's cheerful mask slips and he becomes bloody scary.
Can you imagine Jody Whittaker trying to do Peter Capaldi's anti-war speech from The Zygon Inversion? Or Matt Smith's speech from The Rings of Akhaten? Or trying to even get CLOSE to David Tennant as the Timelord Victorious from The Waters of Mars (where the Doctor was vastly more scary than the evil water monsters)? Nope, me neither :/
From *other* roles Whitaker has done, I could see it. Not from her performance as the Doctor, though.
Matt Smith, like Jodie Whitaker, had never seen an episode of Doctor Who, past or present, when he got the role.
The difference is that upon landing the role, Matt Smith immediately binge watched 200 episodes of classic Doctor Who (where he discovered his love of Patrick Troughton's 2nd Doctor), the entire modern series, and did a fuck ton of research on the lore of the show, whereas Jodie Whitaker did nothing but think about how she can inject her political beliefs into the show.

Somehow, she made it sound like one of those teachers who likes to think of themselves as "inspiring," giving a moralistic pep talk to a graduating class. There's no tone of sorrow, or fondness, or... any depth or nuance at all. It's almost impressive how vapid it is.

The Indian episode was hilarious
It was like a history lesson, but for people who know what the purple crayon tastes like.
That was the last episode I watched before giving up entirely. I'm really not sure if this is serious, or just a long running joke with some kind of genius payoff that we aren't aware of yet.
bowser515 there is a genius pay off mate. Division in society. Communities of whites, blacks, Asians all frothing at the bit because they’re either being “oppressed” or scapegoated. To busy being furious with one another to see that companies like the BBC, Amazon, Google etc are getting richer and richer, whilst their lives stay the same. I suppose it’s just a coincidence that studies have shown that the more culturally diverse a work force is, the less likely it is to unionise. Well they’re gonna widen those divides as much as possible, and they’re going to lobby the politicians for as much immigration as possible. Get those divisions nice and wide and watch them fight each other.

That woke people are crayon-eating morons? That they're crazy? I'm sorry, but you've lost me.
@Mr. Tessera Ah. No one ever told me "eating crayons will make you dumb" as a child. It was "eating crayons will make you sick and you'll end up in the hospital " or some nonsense.
@Mr. Tessera You are misremembering that Simson's episode. Homer didn't eat the crayon. He stuck the crayon up his nose and it somehow ended up lodged in his brain.
I also think he means that people who are stupid have to eat the purple crayons to figure out that they taste like paraffin wax and not grape whereas smarter people can gauge both that the taste is terrible just by examining the crayon and also by the fact that they know crayons aren't food. I would say the same about paste eaters.

"It was very cliched. It was very routine running up and down corridors and silly monsters. It’s very much what the audience was expecting. It’s not really very challenging for them to watch. It’s a very traditional sort of thing that people would expect Doctor Who to fall into. It would be nice to have something totally different from the norm, just for a change." - Wise words from Chris Chibnall in 1986

Looks like the BBC Special Effects Dept have got their hands on Homer's makeup-shotgun. Setting: Ridiculous.
Well, even Double Negative seems like didn't give shit about this episode, as they have plenty more interesting TV series to work on.

Doctor going somewhere
Troubles happen
Doctor is in trouble and seems to be out of solution, ppl's life is at stake
All hopes seems lost
Doctor figure out the solution/knew it all along
Doctor starts to take control of the situation
Doctor is now with his/her commanding presence, banish the villain/got the hero moment (either with speech, intimidation, charisma, hard choice, sacrifice)
Doctor is Victorious (at some point with great cost, including his/her life)

@@xerobeta that fair i think 9 and 10 was the perfect balance inbetween being childness and mature.

@@xerobeta I respect your thoughts about that. Personally I've always felt that it was a thematically appropriate facade, even if they did go overboard at times with portraying him as a goofball especially in Series 7. This is considering with the Day of the Doctor introducing the War Doctor, that meant Eleven is actually supposed to be the final regeneration of the Doctor and no going back from there until the Time of the Doctor's events grants him more regenerations.
That meant once he dies without those regenerations, it's over for him period, and instead of acting old and weary in thinking about all the losses he had, he decides to cope in his own way with a carefree at times childlike nature, plus the dialog of him being named by the Moment as "The man who forgets", it's clear on why he did so even how he ended up with Amy as his companion when she was a child herself and all. Not to mention when he comes to terms with who he is, like in Rings of Akhaten, his speech reflects on how he's been all this time, of having lived too long and seen too much, which reminded me of Ten when he also becomes reflective convincingly enough (to me anyway).
The worst part about this is that it's just The Time Machine by HG Wells. Just worse.

“Earth in the future” that twist is so stupid and done to death and I’m pretty it’s been used in other doctor who episodes

@@akodaah13-e32 I just miss the Dr in general. The last season of Capaldis Dr was an absolute chore to get thru. Bill was just the worst. Every episode they had to shoehorn in her telling someone she was gay. There’s just no need for it. Let it be known like once or twice with a sly remark or something natural, we didn’t need reminders like a bat to the head every episode. We get it, y’all are woke. Great. The new “Dr” is just the worst. The Timeless Child bullshit retcons and ruins so many of the great past stories. The Dr dying on Trenzalore was a storyline that stretched from multiple seasons, it was a really big deal, and then Clara got the Time Lords to sacrifice their only way back to give him more regenerations, except the Child story line totally wiped out the impact of that. It also wipes out any real drama since he can always regenerate. They’ve just shat on 50yrs of story telling and canon so they can have a female and minority Dr and Master. So pathetic. There were so many easier ways to add a female or black time lord it’s not even funny. Hell, Jenny, The Drs Daughter, is still out there roaming the galaxy, why not just bring her back? I really tried to give this new “dr” a chance. I really did. I made it 10 min into her debut, and I just couldn’t do it. It’s not all her fault, altho admitting she did zero research into a character that’s been around for 50+ yrs was a massive mistake and it shows, the biggest problem is the writing. Chibnal is just the worst. He clearly cares way more about his politics, and bowing to the altar of Wokeness than he cares about good storytelling. I’d say the BBC is 40% at fault, Chibnal is 50% and what’s her name is 10%. She should be higher, but the BBC and Chibnal brought her in, and they control the stories, so they have to take most of the blame.

Then she looks into a mirror, realizes, that she just stayed the same with visible disappointment (if there has ever been any good use of deepfake, that would be it, because I doubt that Whittaker will play this). She realizes, that she has just started as this doctor again, looks into the camera (4th wall break) and says: "Oh no... not that shit again!" and wills herself into another regeneration.
Or even better: They get Capaldi for another shot... He wakes up from what has seemed to be regeneration-indicated lost of consciousness... He realizes that he just had the worst fever dream ever. "Damn, this regeneration feels like it takes an eternity!" and then he regenerates and the REAL season 11 starts. (that's my favourite)

It's really saddening that it's come to this. Not to sound sappy, but the Doctor's speech at the end of the Van Gogh episode helped me a lot, during a dark time in my life...
it would have been better if that speech had come from maybe Ryan or Yaz though, the doctor is a character that although does present a lot of speeches, those sappy speeches aren't something the doctor usually comes up with. Even if their personalities changed, I think Jodie changed this doctor too much, although characters like David Tennant and Matt Smith were very different doctors, they held the same essence that the writers for Jodie failed to uphold.
Same here that “life is a pile of good things and bad things” speech really has got me through the toughest times. Feel like Chibnall has completely forgotten about the emotion/darkness in doctor who

So let me get this straight.
A resort, working in the far ruined future sends magical transporting invitations BACK in time. People use these invitations in the past to send themselves and the people around them unwittingly into the FUTURE to this "vacation spot."
The resort needs money (from time travelers? Is modern money still valuable in the future? Can I take my roman empire currency and use it in today's best resorts?) so it can fund terraforming Earth back to being habitable. Because for some reason, the resort has the ability to pay a likely alien species to help save the planet. (How does this resort make/provide food to its clients?)
They couldn't just send a warning back through time, with information on how to build their technology to counter global warming?
Here's the technology you need capable of mass producing food, space level protection, time travel and more. Oh, and just make this climate mcguffin so the world doesn't get ruined and have humans evolve into monsters of what must have been millions of years.

To be fair, I don’t think they send the invites back in time. The Doctor must’ve gotten them the last time he/she was in that time period. That doesn’t make it any better mind you, how the hell do the things manage to transport them to the resort through time if they’re not built for it. At best they’re not connected to the teleporters on the resort but then it would just send them based on coordinates and they’d end up on regular earth in Siberia at whatever time they’re in right now. They’d have to be just at the right time by complete chance for it to work.
And well if they work that way then the plot crumbles the second that old guy dies and they could’ve just teleported back to the resort if they had packed cubes with them.

_"It's like watching a Greta Thunberg speech performed by Tommy Wiseau on acid"_ - outstanding, sir! 👍
Nobel Prize worthy line indeed!
I'd actually tune in to watch that, unlike Doctor Poo.. er, Who.
That is the line of the week.
"How dare you. You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words."
Perhaps Greta is talking about Chibs and Dr Who?
hey! i figured out how to stop imaginary climate change. just pay more global taxes to issreal and everybody will not die in 6 years. its simple. just gib gib more money.
I have to say, that the beer foam analogy with the imposters "eccentric" personality, may be the best analogy I've ever heard, at least off hand.
When you showed a clip of the creatures, at first I thought you were humorously showing a clip from some cheesy 1950s scifi flick. lol
That thing wasn't a reject from Cats, it's Barf from Space Balls.
It's barf from space balls if he was made by the Cats crew.
That sir would be an insult to Barf and Spaceballs.
That was my thought, too!
Wokeballs, sir.
Shit, there goes the planet.
There's only one positive I can see with the new Doctor. It's the fact that the 6th doctor is no longer the general consensus of the worst doctor.
And the tragedy is that Colin Baker wasn't actually bad... the writing was at a nadir and through a confluence of backroom issues, he never got a proper chance to really grow into the role. But he did do some good work in some awful episodes.
@@mikeb8674 Absolutely. Colin Baker is a great actor and I would have loved to see him in better stories.
@@mikeb8674 .. I liked Colin Baker. I wish they didn't fire him (Although I loved Sylvester McCoy. The only Doctor I ever met in real life!)
I think she's a good Doctor stuck with some bland scripts. Every episode feels like an episode 7.
Why you all so keen on hating her? I think she's excellent. Her take on the doctor is rather complex. Maybe you have to suffer trauma to see it i don't know.
This episode literally made me stop watching doctor who for over a year
Best line on new Who
Oh I'm real handy me...at least that's what me boyfriend says...
And yes, that was of course a male security guard talking about his boyfriend.
Cadburys creme egg anyone?
At one time the Tardis was so impregnable that the Daleks and the Cybermen could not force thier way in. Now robot Amazon delivery types and even f****ing gift cards can break the force field.
Dr. Who ................ something SO GOOD that is now SO VERY VERY BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol.Bullets bounced of it,Dalek blasters bounced off it now all they need to do is FedEx them a hand grenade.
Not even the TARDIS gives a care any longer. She probably let out a groan when the "Fam" returned.
I think every 3 minutes of this video I was going "The fuck?"
You don't understand, it's all a TARDIS plano to suicide itself because it can't stand listening to the Doctor and the "diversity fam" talking inside it.
@@TheMetalOverlord The Tardis probably misses her Doctor husbando.
Why is their vacation teleporter the Tesseract?
Berserk Shirt Bear
My thoughts exactly.
I sense L'Engle books were read. Preferably not only "A Wrinkle in Time."
because blue cube of power means good, like giant space beam from the sky means bad. 🤣🤣🤣
Like the rest of the show, the writers are brain dead fuckwits who couldn’t think of anything themselves...
You just made me imagine Loki using the Tesseract and ending up on the vacation planet like 😒🙄🤦♀️
Bruh I've never even watched doctor who and just hearing a quick review enraged me.
Man, from the thumbnail, I expected this to be on an ooold episode from the 80s, but no, which makes it so much worse
Plot holes and stupidity:
- No oxygen outside, but two fires burning in the tunnel. Fires need oxygen.
- Monsters breathe out oxygen. Doc refills her entire oxygen tank from just two breaths from a monster.
- They all go down the tunnel, but don’t close the hatch behind them, allowing the monsters to follow.
I have something to ask. Why did her oxygen tank run out of oxygen so quick ? Do they ever explain that because I don't remember. Plus it's hard to understand anything without subtitles.
The planet destroyed through War and a toxic atmosphere.
Yet they have trees...
@@nolongerinuse1511 I noticed that too and it was soo bad.
@@KillMePete These idiots don't know the show they're working on. Of course the character isn't going to be consistent when they don't give a damn.
@@MustafaTurgutDenizer actually I'd guess that it could be that she has two hearts so her metabolism / oxygen use might be higher?
And of course they had to randomly shoehorn adults role playing as babies, green haired weirdos and furries into an episode.
They are all liberals of the future. Except for the owner of the facility as she is the ire of righteous indignation.
Why not just take them from an insane asylum or the humanities department of a local college?
Its a weird mix of characters tbh.
Furries will like to officially distance ourselves from this particular episode and especially hyphen with a fuck you
"Allow me to elaborate."
For a second, I thought you were gonna talk about how you wound up at the hospital from drinking toilet cleaner.
"ANYWAYS, STARFOX EXPLAINS..."
I fucking died laughing at that
Am I the only one who saw this "Starfox" thing and heard "I'm a MOG! Half man, half dog. I'm my own best friend!"
Heh, and i thought i was the only one.
why not, but it looks like the unholy brood of a cat reject, and a fox reject. Then, why not a COX ? xD
Same. I think it looks like a mix of amy schumer and that thing.
My thoughts exactly
Personally I thought it looked like Barf from Spaceballs. But that’s mainly because it also gave my stomach that involuntarily response.
I actually started rewatching the Christopher Eccelston series which largely revitalized the franchise, and in the second episode, they've already established that humanity managed to survive and preserve the Earth for more than 5 billion years - overcoming "global warming", of all things. The series is bit too campy and smiley, but it had a great blend of optimism, futurism with a profound enough sense finality.
Which, compared to the Doctor who lectures three randoms in the TARDIS about the potential of all of humanity ... what the actual heck.
That era kind of made the future out to be horrible...
@Joshua Simpson Oh shit you're right.
I totally forgot about that.
Would be great if I could watch the series without having the buy a streaming service that doesn't exist for another six months though ;-;
Yeah, throughout most of those episodes it was
"look what the humans created, why have things gone so sour?"
and then it's realised to be the Daleks always getting in there
I bet there will be an episode where giants eggs-on-toasts will terrorize the planet and the doctor has to stop them.
@@arifakyuz7673 That actually sounds like doctor who
Affirmative action and identity based casting doesn't make the best media.
Can you imagine it?
Who would have thunk?
1:24 They look like the characters from an RPG when they start a random fight
Actress:"I was in doctor who." Friend:"Oh... jeez, are you ok?"
I am imagining a struggling young actress who almost quit and finally a part on the BBC and told everyone about it. Then she had to tell them which episode... ouch.
'Doctor Impersonator and the Yes-Men' is totally going to be the name of my next grunge band.
*”Heaven Sent” was nearly 6 years ago.*
*Oh, how the mighty hath fallen.*
Remember when a hostile planet were no human can survive with a resort on it was treated seriously, as in they DIDN'T go out onto the planet's surface and the idea that something can survive out there was bloody terrifying, hmmmmmm nope.
