She doesn’t do the big epic thing in front of her companions, so it seems the Overly-Talkative and socially awkward side is just a facade she puts on in front of her human friends... just something I noticed.
Yeah, that's kind of doctor's only repetitive trait, like how ten was like: "you have the library of the universe, look me up." and eleven was talking with this goofy like: "fear me, I've killed hundred of time lords." and then eleven was like: "Fear me, I killed all of them."
She and 10 are really similar 😂😂 She radiates Tennant’s energy and jokes and wacky sense of humor 😂 Jokes aside, she’s funny and a deadpan snarker like 10
13’s constantly high on regeneration, I just know it... Both Tennant and Capaldi’s regenerations were huge and destroyed the TARDIS... and both produced a Doctor Who is constantly high. Huh...

i agree. when i watched that moment i was touched. it didn't seem insensitive, on the contrary tbh. the doctor is very reserved by nature, and especially in s12, so by verbalizing her lack of control in the situation made me feel as though she was opening up to graham and making herself vunerable, just like he probably felt when he opened up to her about his cancer. council of geeks has a fantastic video on it :)
It's actually a really great scene for establishing the Doctor as a relatable human being. But here's the thing about that: _she's not human._ Not remotely. She is (supposed to be) _more than human,_ someone who has seen far worse things throughout the centuries and still manages to maintain an inspiringly upbeat attitude. Because if there's *one thing* the Doctor does better than anyone else, it's bringing out the best in the people around him... or her, but I can't recall a time when Thirteen has done that. In a vacuum, this dialog says more about the Doctor that it does about Graham, which _could_ have actually been taken in an interesting direction. Like if the Doctor was genuinely suffering from a rare crisis of confidence, and is no longer able to give inspiring speeches, perhaps as the result of losing her home planet, this would be a potential avenue to develop the character. But the arc is just abandoned after that one scene. And the Doctor's _sOciAL AwKwArDnEss_ is never brought up again. So the characterisation feels accidental, incomplete. And all it does is make her look like a bad friend to Graham for no reason. Besides, she has a time machine and there are cures for cancer in the future. She _is_ a bad friend.

She so fun, and I think she does a great job of more serious scenes as well. Such a shame about the writing, I think she’d have been incredible with another writer
The show doesn't mention it, but if you look closely you can see the Doctor get more and more hunched over as time passes. This was because Jodie hurt her back from carrying the series.
It reminds of that interview where Jodie said she deliberately lowered her height and zig zags around the room like a crazy person as part of her Doctoring. Lovely detail.
@@manofjesuschrist7351 The best doctor is not "decided". Everyone has their own opinion on the matter. I like David Tennant very much but Jodie Whittaker is also a very good doctor. The role suits her very well.
@@Ines-do7fd like you said we all have our own opinions I stopped watching the show the moment she came In I'd rather watch Capaldi all day guess I'll skip 13 and wait for the 14th even that I'm not exited for because the show lost its value after missing up in previous seasons
@@manofjesuschrist7351 Yes I understand, but if you can, I suggest you watch a few episodes of Jodie. At first I was reluctant to watch her seasons but after seeing season 11, I really enjoyed the 13th Doctor (although the writing is not very good).
She's brilliant, I love her! Also one thing I find really interesting about this incarnation - she doesn't like the idea of being alone, whenever she has to part ways with her companions (even if temporarily) she always looks so down, and she didn't take Ryan and Graham leaving well at all with her on the verge of tears at the end of the special... thankfully she still has Yaz but I can only imagine how she must feel, this Doctor definitely values friendship and the company of others, and I love that!
Her last 3 incarnations didn't exactly part with most of their companions under the best circumstances (I'd say last _8_ if it weren't for the fact that Nine broke the cycle while War never had companions as far as I know), and Ten (and Five, and Seven, and Eight) in particular ended his life in a very downer note, and while more bittersweet, Twelve still died alone. Can't blame her for not wanting to go through that again, and at worse, become Time Lord Victorious again, especially with the Valeyard being just around the corner
River, Doctor’s wife, told the Doctor to never travel alone. She knew that not only does he/she/they enjoy the company of others, but really, they need it. No matter who they regenerate into. So while the Doctor hates goodbyes and never admits to enjoying the company of their companions, do they still love and value them? ABSOLUTELY! ❤ I love that the most.
This non-canon Doctor is unable to be liked. Jodie Whittaker played a much better character in my Chameleon Universe Doctor Who (the playlist on the channel will explain why it's called that)
Jodie's Doctor being affected by Chibnall's subpar writing reminds me of if Patrick Mahomes was coached by Rich Kotite. 13 was so enjoyable. I wish she had better writing.
@@billyswift5394 yeah, Chibnall said he wanted to let fans theorize and not say which is really true, I think this is maybe the master that killed missy and found a way to change his timeline, but idk. There’s also still the question of how the master was able to consciously control how he regenerated, because he was able to regenerate into the doctors friend and then kill that person.
She's my favorite doctor with my least favorite writer for the show. However, even the subpar doctor who writing she's absolutely stolen my heart with her doctor. I'm so happy to see other people who also adore her.
@mattthesilent777RED well, uh, obviously people can like 13. And I genuinely don't know how to explain to you how actors use subtext and body language to make up for a lack in writing- it is very common and difficult for any actor to pull off. Jodie did it swimmingly. You're allowed to dislike her, but let's please stop pretending like it's objectively correct for you to do so.
I really really hope we see her again! Big Finish, Multi-Doc special, Tales of the Tardis whatever, bring her back. Like her run or not, Jodie Whittaker is a historic bit of casting in Doctor Who and I thinks she deserves a bit more credit for it than she often gets.
If Peter Capaldi was the incarnation that brought the Doctor the closest to his dark side, Jodie balances him by being the one closest to his light. She’s so whimsical and curious, and kind. She feels like the version of the Doctor they always wished they could be. But between the time war and all the losses they faced through out their travels they just had too much of a heavy heart to embrace that lighter aspect of themselves. But with Galirfey saved and 12 finally coming to terms with his identity and the question of “am I a good man”, they were finally able to put the darkness aside for a while, and enjoy just being a joyful traveler
Well spoken! When her era started I went through a difficult time but watching 13 and her advenuteres helped me to not solely focus on the bad things which happen in life but also the good stuff like spending time with your loved ones. I´m really gonna miss her and hope that we see her again in a future special.
Kind?? Apart from that time she executed a bunch of spiders by sticking them in a vault and letting them starve? Or the time Graham admitted he's scared of his cancer returning and she's too socially awkward to console him?? Or the time she used the Master's new ethnicity against him by revealing his appearance to a bunch of Nazi's?! Completely ignored Yaz's feelings!? I dont think any other Doctor has been this incidentally cruel.
@@terminatrix92What would you have done in those situations? There was no time to deal any other way with the spiders to protect the city unless shooting them. At least she was honest about not to know what to say right now (which some people also feel in reality). Dealing with the Master is never easy and he had it coming. To be fair she could have been a better friend to Yaz but calling it "cruel" is a a bit exaggerated.
@@93Chowo I could forgive some of those tactics? But all of them?! She could have led the spiders into the tardis and dropped them on another world? Killing them humanely would have been more acceptable than starvation! Remember Eleven and the star whale?! He willing to make it brain dead over causing it more suffering. And Thirteen literally just walks away from Graham when he's asking for comfort. Even Twelve would have been kinder! Ultimately in Doctor Who there's always a better option; unless the writers aren't good enough to figure it out... My problem with Thirteen is she's so emotionally disengaged from her actions its borderline sociopathic! All jokes no consequences
@@terminatrix92 Can I remind you how the 10th Doctor drowned the children of he Racnoss? Or how the 12th Doctor at first didn´t care about that Clara´s boyfriend died and didn´t comfort her? I think the 13th Doctor isn´t the only incarnation which is "cruel" regarding their actions. The Doctor isn´t an almighty god who can just do what they want to so the outcome of situations can´t be the best but more realistic ones.
Given how 13 and 10 have a somewhat similar vibe, I can see why she's your favorite. NGL that's why I enjoyed her as The Doctor. She had that chaotic energy that 10 and 11 had, along with the eccentricity of 12.
To be honest, I love this Doctor a lot. While the writing wasn't like the previous holders torch, she was great. I also like that they tried to continue a storyline from the original doctor who from 7th's era, being the timeless child. I am also not affected much by that episode either and rather enjoyed that train of thought and how it filled in plot holes from classic who and also redefined the lore into something deeper and possible a bit darker if one gave it a really good look. I am probably in the minority when I saw I kind of liked the timeless child, as I really don't mind. Though I do understand why it is... 'disliked'.
@@mysterygamermgclues8864 You're right, and I can see that happening. Though this type of situation happens so much in fandoms that one can only flip a coin at this point for how the fans will turn. Which is too bad, as I love this Doctor. I don't have a problem much with this doctor as I have a writer's brain, as my mom calls it, and understand what the show was going for. I don't focus too much on the commentary of the story for real-world things, as I do for the story itself in the show. That's why I love doctor who. And so many people write for doctor who, in books and audios, and create a story within the universe that it is amazing. I just hope that the fandom doesn't give up on this show, just because of this doctor.
Jodie was a great incarnation of the Doctor, since it was really interesting for me to see a female Doctor and her personality was really fun. Like everyone said, it was those damn writers couldn't do one job.
I hate how so many people are down on Jodie just because she's the first female Doctor. She's totally made the role her own and will set the mold for future actresses who play the part.
Mostly they're down on her because she's written as more helpless than all the other Doctors, and doesn't exude as much authority as they did. Whether that's up to her being a female doctor, her particular acting style, or the writing taking an inopportune turn during her run, is up to interpretation.
@@alicequinn505 also because it shows that she is not a doctor who fan something she admitted before taking the role and she has just a mix of 10th 11th personality all in al' her carachter seems bland and unoriginal every actor who played the doctor had their own twist to it and personality but Jodie the only difference is that she is a woman and well that's it
Nobody is down on Jodie LMFAOAOAO if anything the fandom hates chibnall for making her character and cast bad and the narrative sucks the timeless child just blew up in everyone's face and retconned 50+ years of cool history
I love when the doctor references things that we know about from past regenerations. It makes me remember that she still has the old memories that we all love too. And while she’s like a different person, the energy is the same. With each regeneration, a lot of the weight and baggage from the last regeneration fades away, which makes me wonder - how does each regeneration remember old memories? She must feel them to some degree because she’s so afraid to let anyone in because her companions always either leave her willingly or die… but she also becomes brand new like they don’t affect her anymore. Thoughts anyone?
I always imagine it as some sort of a memory of a story, like when watching a movie. She knows it happened, but she can't really remember what she thought, or what she felt. Also, I'm imagining right now 12 cringing at 10's "Time lord victorious" phase. So, enjoy having this picture stuck in your head as well!
gosh I love her. I love her energy I love her!!!! the writing and acting for her is amazing. some may argue the episodes plots and pacing and everything aren't great, but the writing for 13 herself is great and Jodie just MAKES IT. Queen of being northern
The storyline was bad her acting was good but the companions needed to be better its a classic thing where a good actor is stuck with a shitty script and showrunner didn't think it would happen to doctor who but no song is immortal
I love seeing some liking towards Jodie’s doctor It may not be the best because of writing stuff, but she still did pretty good and it’s nice seeing positivity about it :D
Chris Chibnall writing. Remember how much hatred 6 got? Let's just wait for the Big Finish audios and everyone will call her the biggest comeback since (pick any inbetween 5 and 9, and after 11)
@@zyxluz4645big finish really does save doctors, I mean look at Paul McGann as 8 and his failed relaunch movie going on to be the most prolific doctor ever... 13 has so much potential and I really hope she comes back and gets to shine with better writing
Each doctor is unique. Jodie Whitaker played a socially aloof and silly yet compassionate doctor and the writing simply failed to support her performance.
8:17 HIS SMILE IS KINDA SWEET WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT CLOSE FRIENDS THEY USED TO BE AND HOW THE BOTH OF THEM PROBABLY THINK ABOUT IT AND MISS IT DESPITE HOW THEY’VE COME TO BE NOW. HE STILL LOVES HER (platonically) BUT HES NOT GOING TO CHANGE AND NEITHER WILL SHE.
The part at the end got me in the feels. She’s clearly not doing so well but then looks so happy and says "My fam," when she opens her eyes and sees every one around her.
While this era hasn't been my favorite, it's still so great and wholesome to see many 13 fans! I think Jodie Whittaker has been a really good doctor and a nice breath of fresh air
13 is great, love almost every episode of hers “Are you two seeing each other?” “I don’t think so. Are we?” Doctor being a lesbian (and me here loving it)
This scene is basically: "are you flirting?" "That depends, are you interested?" Amazing. I hope that one of the actors fought for Chibnall to include this scene, because this is quality writing that Chibs usually just doesn't do.
I created a Doctor Who universe where the Doctor is always a woman and they are all infinitely better than Jodie. But I must also point out that like personality and race, the Doctor's sexual orientation also changes in regeneration. Some of my female Doctors are heterosexual and some are homosexual
@@sheersternfeld1914 Don't quote me on it but I'm sure I read that Chibnall put this in as just a bit of levity, it was this that triggered the avalanche of Thasminites. I feel it was more to show how the Doctor wasn't really paying attention to their 'cover story' and was a bit of a goof. And of course it shows Yaz's mum.. Najia (I love that running joke) being right to the point direct! 😲😲
The World: "So, what can we look forward to with this 13th Doctor?" Chibnall and Jodie: "Well.... try and imagine David Tennant's 10th Doctor... played by Alice from 'The Vicar of Dibley.' "
yeah...no. 13 has brought life and fun to the Doctor yes, in comedy very similar to 10, yes. But to say she is just 10 played by someone else? Show me her pain, show me her fury, show me the lonely traveler who's been alive longer than anyone else who has so much bottled up pain they can't bare to share it with anyone and are afraid to hurt anyone they come close to, show me the unforgiving lord of time. 10 was a comedian, but behind his laughter was sadness, and pain. A sadness that 13 does not show. If you really need to compare her, I guess she's like 11? But in truth, she's just 13, she really is her own Doctor. 10 is jolly, but broken. 13 is carefree and hopeful. One line separates 10 and 13 so clearly. "No second chances. That's the sort of man I am." And 13 isn't that Doctor. The line to describe 13? One of 12's final lines. "Doctor, be kind."
Ugh I loved her seasons so much. She reminded me of a great combination of Smith's and Tenant's doctors as well as her own flair. I think she was refreshing after 12's attitude. Ugh ill miss her so much
Stop blaming the writing .... Chibbs has written for several actors playing The Doctor and Torchwood....Whitticker is just not a good actress and has no feeling for the part
Well yes but that would break the tradition of new Who of having each Doctor only staying on for 3 series and a Christmas special. Well with the exception of 9
Oooh, how much I want to travel with her! I could give the Doctor a Long list of where/when I want to go. Plus, of all the Doctors, I think I would have the best chemistry with her because I‘m very much like her. 😊❤️
Chibs has stated since that he wrote 13 as being on the spectrum. As a guy with ASD and a massive 13 fan it made me want to go all the way back to the beginning and see her in an even more awesome light. :)
I genuinely love Jodies Doctor and its sad that the writing of chibnall somehow lets her down. Is it to much if i hope that we´see maybe a little of her doc in the upcoming RTD2 Era? I think those Episodes would be brilliant!
coming back to this right before Ncuti Gatwa’s first solo special and i’m remembering how much fun the memes from this era were. Dirt eating, Scrunch Nose(TM), Ed Sheeran, the BENNI lady from that one episode… like, genuinely, watching these series live and interacting with the more positive side of the fandom during it was a BLAST and I can’t wait to rewatch them as more of a part of a set with the rest of the series than as its “own thing” and see how genuinely fun it was after being separated from it for a few years. also, great video, it really got to the highlights and reminded me of all of these things i totally forgot about

She so fun, and I think she does a great job of more serious scenes as well. Such a shame about the writing, I think she’d have been incredible with another writer
She does a pretty decent job with what she has to work with
I agree
It does get boring but she pulls it off so well
imagine Russel T. Davies' writing with her acting
@@sans1099 that would be amazing
The show doesn't mention it, but if you look closely you can see the Doctor get more and more hunched over as time passes. This was because Jodie hurt her back from carrying the series.
Well you're right, cause she couldn't with those damn writers
I’d imagine the doctor also wasn’t used to being a woman so she’d probably be hunched over from normal back pain
It reminds of that interview where Jodie said she deliberately lowered her height and zig zags around the room like a crazy person as part of her Doctoring. Lovely detail.
Lucky John Bishop eventually showed up to take a bit of the load off
He did WHAT?!
She was actually great just completely screwed over by the writers. We had potential for one of the best doctors
YES AH SOMEOME SAID IT!
The best doctor is David Tennant (10th doctor ) and always will be , 13th is stealing personality from 10th and 11th
@@manofjesuschrist7351 The best doctor is not "decided". Everyone has their own opinion on the matter. I like David Tennant very much but Jodie Whittaker is also a very good doctor. The role suits her very well.
@@Ines-do7fd like you said we all have our own opinions I stopped watching the show the moment she came In I'd rather watch Capaldi all day guess I'll skip 13 and wait for the 14th even that I'm not exited for because the show lost its value after missing up in previous seasons
@@manofjesuschrist7351 Yes I understand, but if you can, I suggest you watch a few episodes of Jodie. At first I was reluctant to watch her seasons but after seeing season 11, I really enjoyed the 13th Doctor (although the writing is not very good).
She's brilliant, I love her! Also one thing I find really interesting about this incarnation - she doesn't like the idea of being alone, whenever she has to part ways with her companions (even if temporarily) she always looks so down, and she didn't take Ryan and Graham leaving well at all with her on the verge of tears at the end of the special... thankfully she still has Yaz but I can only imagine how she must feel, this Doctor definitely values friendship and the company of others, and I love that!
Her last 3 incarnations didn't exactly part with most of their companions under the best circumstances (I'd say last _8_ if it weren't for the fact that Nine broke the cycle while War never had companions as far as I know), and Ten (and Five, and Seven, and Eight) in particular ended his life in a very downer note, and while more bittersweet, Twelve still died alone. Can't blame her for not wanting to go through that again, and at worse, become Time Lord Victorious again, especially with the Valeyard being just around the corner
River, Doctor’s wife, told the Doctor to never travel alone. She knew that not only does he/she/they enjoy the company of others, but really, they need it. No matter who they regenerate into.
So while the Doctor hates goodbyes and never admits to enjoying the company of their companions, do they still love and value them? ABSOLUTELY! ❤
I love that the most.
This non-canon Doctor is unable to be liked. Jodie Whittaker played a much better character in my Chameleon Universe Doctor Who (the playlist on the channel will explain why it's called that)

Literally the only scene with her that I found genuinely funny
I love Jodie’s Doctor so much. It pissed me off that the writers did her dirty like that.
Jodie's Doctor being affected by Chibnall's subpar writing reminds me of if Patrick Mahomes was coached by Rich Kotite.
13 was so enjoyable. I wish she had better writing.
Jodie is great in the role. Too bad the writing let’s her down. The new Master is really good also
@@billyswift5394 i hate the fact that they just threw away missy’s redemption arc like i was so happy to see missy and 12 together
@@billyswift5394 yeah, Chibnall said he wanted to let fans theorize and not say which is really true, I think this is maybe the master that killed missy and found a way to change his timeline, but idk. There’s also still the question of how the master was able to consciously control how he regenerated, because he was able to regenerate into the doctors friend and then kill that person.
I agree. Duane captures the cold calculating thinking of Simm and throws in some of Gomez’s insanity!
Ikr I actually kind of like her. She's just working with a really poor script. It's ao unfortunate
I think the series writing is mediocer chibnel said that classic who was bad look at the stupid bastard now
"Can we have the lights and siren on?"
"NO"
_depresso espresso intensifies_
She's my favorite doctor with my least favorite writer for the show. However, even the subpar doctor who writing she's absolutely stolen my heart with her doctor. I'm so happy to see other people who also adore her.
For real. My two favorite doctors (12 and 13) came from my two least favorite writers, lol
No one can like this Doctor - bad writing means bad Doctor
@mattthesilent777RED well, uh, obviously people can like 13. And I genuinely don't know how to explain to you how actors use subtext and body language to make up for a lack in writing- it is very common and difficult for any actor to pull off. Jodie did it swimmingly.
You're allowed to dislike her, but let's please stop pretending like it's objectively correct for you to do so.
Same! Jodie was fantastic! Chibnal DID have some good moments... just overshadowed with all the major bad ones.
@@CorgiButtOnWheels NO ONE CAN LIKE JODIE FULL STOP! But then again, even Chibnall's mess was neater than RTD2's mess
"Never did this when I was a man!" - 13, a terrible quote to take out of context.
I love it
I really really hope we see her again! Big Finish, Multi-Doc special, Tales of the Tardis whatever, bring her back. Like her run or not, Jodie Whittaker is a historic bit of casting in Doctor Who and I thinks she deserves a bit more credit for it than she often gets.
I would looooove her back in the show somehow ❤
If Peter Capaldi was the incarnation that brought the Doctor the closest to his dark side, Jodie balances him by being the one closest to his light. She’s so whimsical and curious, and kind. She feels like the version of the Doctor they always wished they could be. But between the time war and all the losses they faced through out their travels they just had too much of a heavy heart to embrace that lighter aspect of themselves. But with Galirfey saved and 12 finally coming to terms with his identity and the question of “am I a good man”, they were finally able to put the darkness aside for a while, and enjoy just being a joyful traveler
Well spoken! When her era started I went through a difficult time but watching 13 and her advenuteres helped me to not solely focus on the bad things which happen in life but also the good stuff like spending time with your loved ones. I´m really gonna miss her and hope that we see her again in a future special.
Kind?? Apart from that time she executed a bunch of spiders by sticking them in a vault and letting them starve? Or the time Graham admitted he's scared of his cancer returning and she's too socially awkward to console him?? Or the time she used the Master's new ethnicity against him by revealing his appearance to a bunch of Nazi's?! Completely ignored Yaz's feelings!? I dont think any other Doctor has been this incidentally cruel.
@@terminatrix92What would you have done in those situations? There was no time to deal any other way with the spiders to protect the city unless shooting them. At least she was honest about not to know what to say right now (which some people also feel in reality). Dealing with the Master is never easy and he had it coming. To be fair she could have been a better friend to Yaz but calling it "cruel" is a a bit exaggerated.
@@93Chowo I could forgive some of those tactics? But all of them?! She could have led the spiders into the tardis and dropped them on another world? Killing them humanely would have been more acceptable than starvation! Remember Eleven and the star whale?! He willing to make it brain dead over causing it more suffering. And Thirteen literally just walks away from Graham when he's asking for comfort. Even Twelve would have been kinder! Ultimately in Doctor Who there's always a better option; unless the writers aren't good enough to figure it out... My problem with Thirteen is she's so emotionally disengaged from her actions its borderline sociopathic! All jokes no consequences
@@terminatrix92 Can I remind you how the 10th Doctor drowned the children of he Racnoss? Or how the 12th Doctor at first didn´t care about that Clara´s boyfriend died and didn´t comfort her? I think the 13th Doctor isn´t the only incarnation which is "cruel" regarding their actions. The Doctor isn´t an almighty god who can just do what they want to so the outcome of situations can´t be the best but more realistic ones.
Unpopular Opinion: Her era wasn't unbearable and was enjoyable.
Agreed, just finished it and I have absolutely no idea why people hate her. I was balling my eyes out when she regenerated.
I agree too!
She's my favorite doctor
She's one of my favourite doctors

Yhhhh
I love her so much. I never thought I would like a Doctor more than Ten, but I think she’s managed to become my favorite.

Given how 13 and 10 have a somewhat similar vibe, I can see why she's your favorite.
NGL that's why I enjoyed her as The Doctor. She had that chaotic energy that 10 and 11 had, along with the eccentricity of 12.
“I could get a purple one, then sit on it” please why is that adorable >/
Thirteen: _(says just about anything out of nowhere)_
Graham: You're just making sounds, now!

@@decafjewel41doctor who audio stories
To be honest, I love this Doctor a lot. While the writing wasn't like the previous holders torch, she was great. I also like that they tried to continue a storyline from the original doctor who from 7th's era, being the timeless child. I am also not affected much by that episode either and rather enjoyed that train of thought and how it filled in plot holes from classic who and also redefined the lore into something deeper and possible a bit darker if one gave it a really good look. I am probably in the minority when I saw I kind of liked the timeless child, as I really don't mind. Though I do understand why it is... 'disliked'.
yeah i don't mind either but hey who knows a lot of them may agree with it in the future depending on how it goes on past this point.
@@mysterygamermgclues8864 You're right, and I can see that happening. Though this type of situation happens so much in fandoms that one can only flip a coin at this point for how the fans will turn.
Which is too bad, as I love this Doctor. I don't have a problem much with this doctor as I have a writer's brain, as my mom calls it, and understand what the show was going for. I don't focus too much on the commentary of the story for real-world things, as I do for the story itself in the show. That's why I love doctor who. And so many people write for doctor who, in books and audios, and create a story within the universe that it is amazing.
I just hope that the fandom doesn't give up on this show, just because of this doctor.
@@kotahope3850 yeah. though with some those youtubers spreading negativity it may be hard.
@@mysterygamermgclues8864 Yep...
I know the writing is all wibbly wobbly, but I still love Thirteen regardless 👍
Jodie was a great incarnation of the Doctor, since it was really interesting for me to see a female Doctor and her personality was really fun. Like everyone said, it was those damn writers couldn't do one job.
David Tennant: Judoon Platoon on the Moon
Jodie Whittaker: Judoon Platoon by the Lagoon
I hate how so many people are down on Jodie just because she's the first female Doctor. She's totally made the role her own and will set the mold for future actresses who play the part.
hear hear! seconded.
Dat ain’t the reason chief
Mostly they're down on her because she's written as more helpless than all the other Doctors, and doesn't exude as much authority as they did. Whether that's up to her being a female doctor, her particular acting style, or the writing taking an inopportune turn during her run, is up to interpretation.
@@alicequinn505 also because it shows that she is not a doctor who fan something she admitted before taking the role and she has just a mix of 10th 11th personality all in al' her carachter seems bland and unoriginal every actor who played the doctor had their own twist to it and personality but Jodie the only difference is that she is a woman and well that's it
Nobody is down on Jodie LMFAOAOAO if anything the fandom hates chibnall for making her character and cast bad and the narrative sucks the timeless child just blew up in everyone's face and retconned 50+ years of cool history
I like how all the doctors take pleasure in doing simple things with their companions. It’s very sweet.
I love when the doctor references things that we know about from past regenerations. It makes me remember that she still has the old memories that we all love too. And while she’s like a different person, the energy is the same. With each regeneration, a lot of the weight and baggage from the last regeneration fades away, which makes me wonder - how does each regeneration remember old memories? She must feel them to some degree because she’s so afraid to let anyone in because her companions always either leave her willingly or die… but she also becomes brand new like they don’t affect her anymore. Thoughts anyone?
I always imagine it as some sort of a memory of a story, like when watching a movie. She knows it happened, but she can't really remember what she thought, or what she felt.
Also, I'm imagining right now 12 cringing at 10's "Time lord victorious" phase. So, enjoy having this picture stuck in your head as well!
I made iced tea
*possibly*
gosh I love her. I love her energy I love her!!!! the writing and acting for her is amazing. some may argue the episodes plots and pacing and everything aren't great, but the writing for 13 herself is great and Jodie just MAKES IT. Queen of being northern
The storyline was bad her acting was good but the companions needed to be better its a classic thing where a good actor is stuck with a shitty script and showrunner didn't think it would happen to doctor who but no song is immortal
The acting great the writing sucks they Dumb it Down for kids no kid nowadays is interested in this show
Yes! Someone else gets it! I think she is just absolutely fantastic and i love the direction the show has taken.
The only word to describe her is ✨️Precious✨️
I love seeing some liking towards Jodie’s doctor
It may not be the best because of writing stuff, but she still did pretty good and it’s nice seeing positivity about it :D
She's so ADHD and alien. But also an inventor and a threat. Love her ❤️
13 is honestly one of my favourites (second only to 10) i loved jodie and i hope she knows how loved she was as the doctor
I love that she's a 3 part combination of 10, 11 and 12😂😂
5:27 - this entire sequence lives rent free in my head xD
I see her as a combo of Matt and David with her own little twist.
the 6th and 13th doctor basically share the same uphill battle where they have to fight against their own story to excel
i dont see why so many people hated on her, she is funny
Probably comes from episodes like orphan 55 which got a 3.8/10 rating.
Yeah I think most folks are too harsh on her. Just because she's not the greatest ever doesn't mean she's the worst. She's really quite good
Chris Chibnall writing. Remember how much hatred 6 got? Let's just wait for the Big Finish audios and everyone will call her the biggest comeback since (pick any inbetween 5 and 9, and after 11)
@zyxluz4645 yeah, I also hope we get a multi Doctor story with her that would redeem her in the series itself!
@@zyxluz4645big finish really does save doctors, I mean look at Paul McGann as 8 and his failed relaunch movie going on to be the most prolific doctor ever... 13 has so much potential and I really hope she comes back and gets to shine with better writing

13: "Hi! Yaz's mom!"
Also 13: _Please don't slap me, please don't slap me, please don't slap me_
5:29 being immediately followed by 5:44 is genius.
Each doctor is unique. Jodie Whitaker played a socially aloof and silly yet compassionate doctor and the writing simply failed to support her performance.
8:17 HIS SMILE IS KINDA SWEET WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT CLOSE FRIENDS THEY USED TO BE AND HOW THE BOTH OF THEM PROBABLY THINK ABOUT IT AND MISS IT DESPITE HOW THEY’VE COME TO BE NOW. HE STILL LOVES HER (platonically) BUT HES NOT GOING TO CHANGE AND NEITHER WILL SHE.
Love how she just talks
She always puts 100% into her roles, She is a great entertainer and i love watching her in everything she is in.
The part at the end got me in the feels. She’s clearly not doing so well but then looks so happy and says "My fam," when she opens her eyes and sees every one around her.
While this era hasn't been my favorite, it's still so great and wholesome to see many 13 fans! I think Jodie Whittaker has been a really good doctor and a nice breath of fresh air
they lied to us. it's 13 minutes and one second. i feel cheated on
i have made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgement! forgive me for committing this hateful act against humanity! 😤😂
Actually it’s 13:02
It's 13 min, 1 second, and 3 fractions of a second, so it's all good
timey-wimey
I loved her to death, hopefully she'll come back for some Big Finish adventures or a multi-Doctor story.
13 is great, love almost every episode of hers
“Are you two seeing each other?”
“I don’t think so. Are we?”
Doctor being a lesbian (and me here loving it)
This scene is basically:
"are you flirting?"
"That depends, are you interested?"
Amazing. I hope that one of the actors fought for Chibnall to include this scene, because this is quality writing that Chibs usually just doesn't do.
I created a Doctor Who universe where the Doctor is always a woman and they are all infinitely better than Jodie. But I must also point out that like personality and race, the Doctor's sexual orientation also changes in regeneration. Some of my female Doctors are heterosexual and some are homosexual
@@sheersternfeld1914 Don't quote me on it but I'm sure I read that Chibnall put this in as just a bit of levity, it was this that triggered the avalanche of Thasminites.
I feel it was more to show how the Doctor wasn't really paying attention to their 'cover story' and was a bit of a goof. And of course it shows Yaz's mum.. Najia (I love that running joke) being right to the point direct! 😲😲
The World: "So, what can we look forward to with this 13th Doctor?"
Chibnall and Jodie: "Well.... try and imagine David Tennant's 10th Doctor... played by Alice from 'The Vicar of Dibley.' "
How dare you be this accurate
omg Alice is such a good character lmao
More Matt Smith's than Tennant's.
yeah...no. 13 has brought life and fun to the Doctor yes, in comedy very similar to 10, yes. But to say she is just 10 played by someone else? Show me her pain, show me her fury, show me the lonely traveler who's been alive longer than anyone else who has so much bottled up pain they can't bare to share it with anyone and are afraid to hurt anyone they come close to, show me the unforgiving lord of time. 10 was a comedian, but behind his laughter was sadness, and pain. A sadness that 13 does not show. If you really need to compare her, I guess she's like 11? But in truth, she's just 13, she really is her own Doctor. 10 is jolly, but broken. 13 is carefree and hopeful.
One line separates 10 and 13 so clearly. "No second chances. That's the sort of man I am." And 13 isn't that Doctor. The line to describe 13? One of 12's final lines. "Doctor, be kind."
13 is such a mood
Jodie is my Doctor, and she is glorious in the role.

Dirt eating, Scrunch Nose(TM), Ed Sheeran, the BENNI lady from that one episode… like, genuinely, watching these series live and interacting with the more positive side of the fandom during it was a BLAST and I can’t wait to rewatch them as more of a part of a set with the rest of the series than as its “own thing” and see how genuinely fun it was after being separated from it for a few years. also, great video, it really got to the highlights and reminded me of all of these things i totally forgot about
