- Doctor Who review of season 1 episode 8 finale as Ncuti Gatwa ends season 1 with Millie Gibson on Disney+. This season of Doctor Who was in partnership with the BBC and Disney, but while the budgets improved, the story seems to have entered a different dimension. Brining back Sutekh for the Doctor Who finale from Classic Doctor Who was menat to get fans back, but was the story wrapped up in a satisfying way? Did Ruby's mum save the world?

Doctor Who review of Season 1 episode 8 the season finale. The BBC and Disney partnered to build up to this episode to save Disney+, and failed. With lots of plot threads left specially for this episode, you at least expected AN ANSWER. No, nothing, not a single care in order to make the story satisfying for the audience. This episode reaked to me of you've already sat through the messaging I wanted to send you, and so now why should I care at the end. This episode gets worse at it goes along just because you realise where the story is going. All the plotlines, every episode, none of it meant anything. It was just bad writing. I wasn't even a fan of the previous episodes, but somehow still managed to be disappointed by the story. This episode, is indefensible. But what did you think of what you saw? Let me know your thoughts down below, and as always, thanks for watching :)
I had more fun watching your reviews than the actual show
can you say Ncutis name correctly?
I think Ncuti’s speech was the closest we got to Doctor (barely) but this should have been episode 1.
Like eleventh hour jank
Thank you! Your reviews provide a LOT more entertainement than the actual series!!! But how you stomach it all...?
Has anyone else noticed that cultural appropriation only swings one way?
You're being colonized.
Some might say even replaced.
It only EVER swings one way with these people.
@@DeadlyPlatypus I've found, when they start screaming and calling you a conspiracy theorists, racist, bigot, ect...you're over the target. If they do one thing great...it's projection
@@DeadlyPlatypusThe normies took too long to realise. Us "crazy Internet people" have been saying it for years.
@@DeadlyPlatypus Colonized implies that Africa is colonizing us. You only need to look at the continent to see they're straining at tying their own shoelaces, let alone come up with such a well thought out strategy. It is our own elites and the virtue signal brigades who are letting them in and do what they want. So re plac eme nt, yes, coloni zing, not really.

I can't believe that RTD, the person who brought back Dr Who, the person that created the Sarah Jane Adventures because he loved Liz Sladen so much, would crap all over her memory with such a dismissive line about her and Tom Baker in what is generally rated as one of the best stories in Tom Baker's tenure.
What a scumbag.
being g a y e r you are means you have shckit all over over everything...
Agreed its amazing how a writer can come back and destroy his legacy! RTG acts like it's the 80's or something! No one cares if your gay or straight , if you're black or white just tell a good story!!!!
Brave man insulting a dead woman.
In Ecclestones last two episodes when the Doctor, Rose and Jack where trapped in reality game shows ie Big Brother. They met a woman, and asked, "don't the controllers know what is happening in the shows".
The woman answers "the masters don't watch the shows"
This is BBC and Disney.
I like how Sutekh spends literally thousands of years waiting until a doctor arrives who so bad at his job that he thinks now let’s just try it 😅
And he's so bad at his job that he has now resurrected every foe and threat to existence that he has ever faced and killed back to life. Fans of this series more than I know how bad this is and that they can't continue after this, but boy it would be a laughing riot if they let that rock.
Honestly, If they had explained it that way it would have made the episode so much better. Sutekh was waiting for an incarnation of the Doctor that was so incompetent that he was sure to be able to beat him.
What Sutekh didn't expect is that the Doctor is so important to the universe that his incompetence spread to everyone else in the universe that included Sutekh himself.... DUN DUN DUN....
I think that is 100% the case. Every preceding doctor (except the last two), had something definable (or indefinable) about their character where their opponent would either make a misstep, change their operations based on the Doctor's involvement, or flat out fail, or get kicked off the planet. I haven't seen that happen with this guy. In fact, if he was to apply for a job, the skill level would be above his ability, and only morons would hire him. But, you know, he does check all the boxes, and that's all I have to say about this decade.
Yeah sounds right.
They killed death before, I think in Torchwood, and the result was a living nightmare where everyone remained alive no matter how badly they were injured. Heck, they had a guy blow himself up and still be alive after.
They could create a Tardis out of thin air by just "remembering harder", but he had to travel to another planet.. for a spoon?
...only try to realize the truth.
What truth?
There is no spoon.
Maybe he could get rid of SpoonTech if he did something else harder?
The Doctor says a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.
There was a stupid throw away line about the things inside the Memory Tardis not being "real" enough to work for what he needed it for.
BUT it doesn't make sense that he had to find some random woman to give him a damn spoon cause from what we saw objects didn't just fall apart cities still seemed to exist without people inside them... Just fly to some random empty building and empty a freaking silverware drawer.
Not just any planet, the IKEA planet
So Sutekh was guilty of cultural appropriation of the Egyptians but it’s OK for the Doctor to wear a kilt?
One of the Egyptian gods was guilty of cultural appropriation of Egyptian culture.
I thought the Egyptians took their aesthetic from the Osirians
@@ryanfoster2869of course they did. This new series is celebrating ignorance 🤡
@@ryanfoster2869 I think that this is what the doctor ment to say, but there's a fine line between cultural apropriation, and a gesture of adoration.
"I don't want people to associate disabled people as evil!"
"I don't want people to play with the sonic screwdriver like a gun!"
"HERES A 13 YEAR OLDD MOBILITY SEGWAY WITH MOUNTED MACHINE GUNS!!!!!!!!!!"
Disabled people are not to be perceived as evil or dangerous or scary, so we have disabled peoole shooting out of wheelchairs and Segway and not yet shooting out of their walker Gatlin gun combination equipment.
I'm surprised Disparu didn't notice that the segway is directly in line with the PEOPLE STANDING IN FRONT OF IT.....🤣🤣🤣
Mobility Segway that was positioned RIGHT BEHIND ONE OF THE UNIT SOLDIERS when they were firing on the TARDIS.
@@troffle Trying to steal someone's comment but it shows in order of posting....
Real smart. You should be the next Dr Who writer... they love ripping off ideas.
Holy shlt, I didn't even notice that! RTD's lack of self awareness is almost as impressive as his lack of talent.
Can we stop referring to RTD as a writer? Because a 2-year old has had more creative accidents in their pants than this.
It's so sad, this was promised to be a fantastic new version of Doctor Who one that will crack the U.S. and wow legions of new fans but because of some of the acting and most of the writing it's not going to keep older fans invested.
@@markgrehan3726 Who told you that? Did you get some special message from Russ , the BBC or Disney? The message I and everyone else got was "Screw you and the horse you rode in on!". Message delivered and carried out.
True. After this fact even his first run seasons stink… I was just showing my mate Doctor Who for the first time, and the amount of times he just paused and laughed about bad writing…. Made me really embarrassed for hyping it up do much. It seems apart from a few happy accidents, and Actors who carried the show… the writing has always been worst than a highschool grade.
ChatGPT would do a better job.
@@markgrehan3726 Americans aren't going to like this either. I have always had the strongest impression that they have loved Who for its essential Britishness, and even the most diehard *actual* fan can see this is "Disney Who". The fact that RTD wrote this for American markets and dumbed it right down to this degree shows more about his personal views of Americans than actual reality. He should have written it for people who don't want to be talked down to, who are tired of being preached at, and who want to see wit and intelligence - because that is what will stand out on an American network today.
It's like the Acolyte and Dr.Who have had a gay-off
In this competition nobody wins, we all lose :(
They both had a ‘mask off’ moment and we can’t unsee what has been seen!
I have a feeling that this all follows some gy prn storyline that rtd wanted to recreate.
And a black off
Yes and both lost.
He thought bringing back Sutekh will appeal to the old fans. The same old fans he literally told can leave and not watch the show? That's a great strategy.
The TARDIS has advanced sensors that can detect anything, yet somehow it missed an invisible being hanging onto it for billions of years? That means Sutekh would be everywhere, since the TARDIS rebooted the entire universe in "Rhe Big Bang." What a colossal joke this show has become.
Tom Baker and Elizabeth Sladen would wipe the floor with this current pair
Tom Baker was the best.
Young actors without the years of experience !!!
@@JamesAnderson-dp1dt testify my brother! ;o)
@@philnewton-england7795 zero charisma, zero empathy, zero character.
@@philnewton-england7795 Hey in fairness, I actually think the Ruby actor is pretty good and she is REALLY doing her best, you can tell she is, she's trying so hard.
It's just that the material given to her is absolute trash... She did her best but she got nothing to work with... And her solo episode was the best episode because she's a way better actress than Cutie so... yeah.
It's remarkable how consistently trash their content for Doctor Who, Star Wars, and Indiana Jones was. Disney, you are amazingly dense, mind blowingly petty, and the fact that anyone entrusted you with a pen and paper to write this cultural garbage is unbelievable. GOOD JOB!
Seems the only thing Disney has been good at lately is completely destroying beloved IP's...
You forgot Willow...
Also NO ONE has talked about the Percy Jackson show that came out earlier this year, nobody. So I can only assume it's not very good.
Also "Wish." they butchered their own anniversary movie.
And Buzz Lightyear.
And all of their "Life action remakes."
.... Everything Disney touches turn to s
@@MoonPhantommaybe Percy Jackson is really good and that's why no one is talking about it
@@Hexensohn Fair enough, I have not seen it so I don't know.
I just find it curious how this is a pretty big property.. Or at least I assume it is, I was never into it but seen other people talk about it on the internet.
And there's just nothing at all... Honestly, my way of gauging if something is a big success or not is if I see any memes from it.
Invincible has A LOT of memes all around the place, so I know it's successful.
Same with "The Boys." and "Wednesday." for a while I saw the memes just floating around.
I have seen zero Percy Jackson memes... So yeah.
And they all know EXACTLY what they were doing and how this all would end.. nobody’s that’s stupid, right?
This just proves that “Evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made.” ....JRR Tolkien.
And ironically, this episodes gets this thematic idea totally wrong, by having the god of Death create life (Susan Twist) throughout the universe.
@@SimonMoon5 Gotta say it again. Sutekh was not the god of Death, that was Anubis. Sutekh was not the god of Dust, that was Geb.
The Dust thing was never in the classic series.
In the myth, Set was the god of deserts, storms, disorder, violence and foreigners. So RTD is also an incompetent stupid failure of a researcher and writer.
Doctor Who with Rose: We'll do a big reveal that the reason she saw bad wolf everywhere was because she was seeding the time stream with clues to create herself and save the Doctor
Doctor Who with Martha: we'll do a big reveal that she wasn't walking the earth to assemble a weapon, but just to spread the word about the doctor so the shared faith of humanity can restore the doctor so he can win the day with compassion
Doctor Who with Donna: We'll do a big reveal that the reason the ood called her the doctor donna was because she became part Timelord and the doctor has to remove her best memories to save her
Doctor Who with Ruby: We'll do a big reveal that the reason the god of death couldn't see her mom's face was because he had a bad camera angle and Ruby's mom was just dramatically pointing at a street sign, with no one around, in the dark, for her own self benefit. Ruby's mom is a bit of a drama queen like that.
all of this sounds stupid. admitted the earlier stories at least add up to something, but they are all equally poor IMO. They all stem from never understanding what the Doctor was actually about
She can't remember her husband
We could say that it's a bit like her daughter has no father...
THE POWER OF MANYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!
I noticed that when the child reappeared there was a distinct lack of tall husband.
I felt the sudden urge to vomit
or has too many
@@elenoe8 That child had more 'uncles' than anyone in school.
Sutek traveled in/on the Tardis since the 70s and what in all that time didn't care to come out until now, but, the one question he must know is "Who is Ruby's mum?". The God of Death is now the God of Gossip.
Why does it even matter?
He isnt't even the 'God of Death' Set (/sɛt/; Egyptological: Sutekh - swtẖ ~ stẖ[a] or: Seth /sɛθ/) is a god of deserts, storms, disorder, violence, and foreigners in ancient Egyptian religion.
Explains whats is happening in the UK....BBC planting there hidden messages.
Actually if the bi-generation effect copied everything then Sutekh is still out there with Tennant-14 and every other potential Doctor incarnation since it's been riding along since Baker, got split off in The Five Doctors when they all went their separate ways at the end so it's been there since the beginning INCLUDING Hartnell/Hurndall-1 whch means it's also overlapped itself...
But it's also been around when the universe has been destoyed TWICE, once by Smith-13 when the TARDIS exploded and with Tennant-10 when the Daleks made the Crucible to re-write the universe in their own image (which would've been a lot better). Not to mention when TARDIS was pushed out by House(?) took over in that pocket-universe with all the dead TARDIS that it had lured in to consume she never mentioned feeling a presense then either.
Set (/sɛt/; Egyptological: Sutekh - swtẖ ~ stẖ[a] or: Seth /sɛθ/) is a god of deserts, storms, disorder, violence, and foreigners in ancient Egyptian religion. well this is the Wiki for it. Make of that what you will.....
yeah also... this is the copy Tardis Ncuti made... Sutekh glommed onto the other one... the one Tenant was using...
I can't believe the legendary Fourth Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith, were referred to as people who "just travelled in the TARDIS"! This is the same Sarah Jane Smith, who RTD brought back in Series 2, for an emotional reunion, and who went on to star in her own TV series! 😠
Dude never loved the series, I'm telling you.
I used to think it was sad that so many Doctor Who actors had died relatively young, but now I think that they were being spared. It's going to be hard to make a living on convention money, these days.
This season of television has me questioning if RTD was ever a good writer, or if we all just ✨believed✨he was a good writer the whole time. 🤔
I didn't.
Neither did Chris Eccleston.
No, his old episodes ARE good. They have all the elements this current season lacks. His old episodes aren't perfect. There are many flaws that he retained when writing this current season and even amplified, but those old episodes are totally rewatchable in a way that the current episodes are not.
@@SimonMoon5 > but those old episodes are totally rewatchable in a way that the current episodes are not
... mmm, maybe not so much anymore.
It was moffat that probably needed to be brought back not RTD. I think moffat was the better writer all along. He wrote a couple of the better episodes during the first couple seasons of new-who before he became show runner.
@@upstatelee18 And then he helped turn the show into complete trash. And he had to steal huge things from the between-series books. Moffat and RTD need to be held underwater until half-an-hour after the bubbles stop.
The 4th Doctor didn't send Sutekh into the time vortex. Sutekh was traveling down a spatial corridor from Mars to Earth, and the Doctor used some equipment from the TARDIS to lengthen the corridor so that Sutekh would die of old age before he got to the end of it.
From His Egypt Crypt... Mars was the location of the "Security System".
We need writers who actually remember the damned show!
@@lgoamity Yes, that's right! I haven't seen Pyramids of Mars in probably 40 years is my excuse. RTD should have watched it before writing that stuff, but I bet he just skimmed the wiki entry on Sutekh
Shhh, RTD knows that but hopes that the modern audience don't.
Also Sutekh's main party piece in the Pyramids of mars is looking at people, his eyes flash, and they DIE on the spot. Which eh could have done any time Ncutti is standing in the TARDIS door gloating at him.
Or better yet, as he is being dragged across the room he just looks at the Doctor and says "My mind is in yours" Just like he did with the 4th Doctor, and Ncutti is instantly turned into a meat puppet.
This Sutekh seemed to have forgotten that he can do either of those things with a mere glance.
@@lesigh1749 And he overpowered the Doctor BEFORE he evolved into this supposed true god form. He should be at the level of the Black Guardian at this point!
The fact that Unit doesn't have a way to torch their own operation center as a last resort seems almost comically inept.
Might leave a crater a mile deep and a mile wide, but you do what you have to do. And they didn't.
@@dlewis9760Seem to recall that was basically what happened to the previous UNIT HQ when 13 visited... and Ace had to parachute away
But they do according to the 50th. They have a nuke under their headquarters that's voice activated
I was thinking the same
Incredible how not one member of senior staff thought of this: Not the rich baby in the segway, not the campy robot, not the 15-year-old drag queen, not the almost-silent box-ticking diverse soldier, and not the middle-class menopausal lady they put in charge of the tough decisions. Did I miss anyone out? No, the episode makes clear that UNIT is run by 3 people, a baby and a robot.
RTD seems like one angry dude. His self loathing is palpable and he takes it out on the world, in the name of righteousness.
A standing ovation for RTD 👏. You have produced, hands down, the single worst season of Doctor Who ever created. You will go down in history as the man (sorry person) who killed Doctor Who by turning it into a gay horror show.
Oh RTDs got NPD and never got over whovians getting bored with his x files with a who twist torchwood.. To boot everything RTD does is just rip off new adventures, BBC who and now faction paradox
@@ZeeDeadlyPotato someone else who remembers the Faction obless you kind one
“I will use this spoon. I promise.” “I don’t want to know the details but please make sure it’s thoroughly disinfected before you give it back.”
Metal is very rare so I'm going to take away your only piece of it.
@@darthlaurel "Metal is very rare but you're all nearly dead anyway and I wasn't smart enough to go get it from anywhere else, so I'm going to take away your only piece of it."
The fact I watch Disparu reviews rather than the show itself.
Same! I refuse to give this trash show any extra viewing.
I've been watching him since She Hulk (except for Willow; not my circus...) and I've _never_ seen him floored by stupid so hard that he just reclines all the way back in his chair.
This is all i can stand to watch when it comes Doctor Who or anything Star Wars including that Wokeolyte which doesn’t even give a f-ck about its own fans at this point.
@@draketheduelistThe Willow reviews were hilarious.
I agree. Less disappointing this way. He's more consistent, goes into detail about context, more entertaining/humorous, doesn't get self-sabotaging entertainment from antagonizing fans, etc.
It's like a little comedy and tragedy rolled into one as we laugh at how bad this previously enjoyable show has become
The reveal of Ruby's mother confirms what I've suspected all along - RTD has only returned to Doctor Who to troll the fans. I don't know if he's been taking flack over the years, but he's clearly bitter to the point of using the show he supposedly loves to get back at the fans. Even putting aside all the identity politics which is typical BBC/Disney (although Moffat's episode seemed able to avoid it), we have:
1. You felt Ruby's mother was special? Ah! You're seeing patterns that aren't there! Typical fanboy!
2. You expect the Doctor to be asexual? Ah! Forget it! He's actually a predator!
3. You want explanations for 73 Yards, Ruby's snow and how Sutekh could hide in the TARDIS even when it's been blown up? Hahaha!
4. Did I saying this would be the biggest and best finale ever? Ah! I meant to say I'm going to destroy a classic character by making it look like a CGI dog and kill it by dragging it on it's lead, and then have 15 minutes of Eastenders, which is the show I REALLY love!
5. You didn't notice there weren't any black characters in Dot and Bubble? Ah! You're racist!! Hahahaha!
6. You want sci-fi in your sci-fi show? Ah! How about musical numbers, dance routines and Bridgerton! Hahaha!
7. You thought the best episodes of my previous run where written by other writers? Ah! Well I'm writing them all now! (except for allowing my mate Moffat to write a couple - oh, and to force those Marvel writers who didn't make their show gay enough to make amends as a sort of grovelling apology to me personally!). Hahaha!
8. You want scary monsters? Hahahaha! Grow up - have a literal boogeyman you bunch of space babies! Lol!
9. Did you say Davros was one of the few classic villains that Nu Who has done justice to? Ha! Hold my beer!
10. You want to know who the Anita Dobson character is? Ah! I'm going to make you wait at least a full year, and then it still won't make any sense that she's lived next to Ruby all this time! HAHAHAHAHA!
He gets so upset over criticisms of his writing so I don't think he's a troll, it's just bad writing and a tired franchise, they should take a break of a few years.
@@hicmad Like 15 years? 150?
I definitely think there’s some truth in this. He hates the long term and loyal fans that’s for sure.
This season of Dr Who was perfectly timed, I didn't wanna work in the garden and dig out 30 years of bamboo growth but being told to touch grass made me do it, And a couple of months later the bamboo is gone and Dr Wtf is finally over.
And the pandas must be pretty pleased
I think Russell wrote this just to make people mad

Yep
>this is a new doctor, a more sensitive doctor, one who's worked out his traumas and has a more upbeat and positive attitude

LOL. True
It's basically National Lampoon's Vacation.
lmao succint
I mean 11 was an up beat doctor this is just a bitch boy doctor he cries all the time like wtf
On this episode of Doctor who a black man drags his pitbull behind speeding down the freeway in his old blue Honda civic
Every single reddit fan theory about any of this season is better than what we got. The only way to write this bad is on purpose or have the IQ of an ant. I thought Lost had the worse tv show ending ever, I now stand corrected...
He simple has no talent and is there just because Disney wanted somewhat thick skinned enough to write woke doctor.
And on that aspect he is a master.
Why does the Doctor refer to stars as Suns? Every Sun is dead? Nope, there is only one Sun. The star at the centre of our solar system on an outer arm of the milky way. The others have their own names. They are Stars. Every STAR is dead. That's what a real sci-fi writer would write and what the real Doctor would say.
Every planet with a star at the middle has that as their sun. Sun is the term for the big hot plasma thing in the middle of a "solar system", that's why they're called "solar systems".
There will be some stars that don't necessarily have planets around them. They're stars, sure. It just so happens that suns are also classifed as stars. That's why they're listed on stellar tables, and those are things we have.
@@troffle really? You visited another planet and confirmed that? You are wrong. Our star is called Sol, this is Sun in English. You dinguses will seriously defend anything. It's bad writing.
I like how the people that always talk about unity and diversity are the ones that are most self-righteous and self interested in their own life. I almost never see these people talk about giving back to other people being selfless or caring about someone other than themselves…
Truth, they only talk about it when it's in the context of it benefits them, or they are clearly virtue signaling. "Look at me I'm such a good person."
And they always hate the working class, people who does work, people who are actually more talented and capable than them, of any skin color they hate people with more potential than themselves so they have to stomp them down.
I even talked to a black guy once who told me. "Oh I got this job real easy, I checked all the diversity boxes just fine, but then they figured out I checked the wrong box too... I'm very competent and they hated it so they fired me."
.... I actually believed him when he said it, also when he was so honest about how he got the job. He seemed incredibly intelligent and I fully believe these people are that petty, they can't stand any potential threat to them.
@@MoonPhantom Like I don’t think these people even consider something like opening a door for someone unless a camera is on them.
The thought never crosses their mind.
@@ASoberBear Well you see... opening a door for someone is actually misogyny because you're assuming they can't do it for themselves...
Yeah I'm a woman and I hold doors for people because... It's polite.
But yeah they actively are looking for things to be offended by, and things OTHER people are doing wrong.
Not them though, they are perfect human beings don't you know, and always were, they never had to learn a thing.
And it's unfair when things are hard for them, cause they are the only ones who ever had hardship...
That's the thing that always grinds me with these people. I don't doubt they are suffering and things are hard for them, because on this planet we ALL must suffer and endure hardship.
It's their belief that nobody else ever suffers! Because again... EVERYBODY on this planet suffers and must endure hardship! And they really believe they are the only ones ever and it's not fair.
No it's not fair, it is what it is. Suck it up.
@@MoonPhantomI think its the shock of seeing a bear opening a door that scares them…
Those who signal the most have the least inherent virtue.
Sutekh deserved a better comeback story. He deserved a better Doctor. Sutekh should have fought against Peter Capaldi's Doctor. Sutekh was the only reason why I tuned in because he was an awesome villain in "Pyramids of Mars" and I was sick of endless appearances by the Daleks or the Master. True to form, wack-tivist RTD wrote Sutekh's return the way Disney hacks wrote Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi - formerly cool characters made to look like idiots.
Lore-wise it makes more sense this way tho. By now he knows better then to fight a competent doctor again.
Read the Tenth Doctor Titan Comics for a significantly better Sutekh return plot.
with the way Sutekh looks and the way peter capaldi was as a doctor it would've had Peter playing Metallica like Eddie in Stranger Things Season 4 or something, idk why but i see that happening for some reason
"Put a leash on him and make him heel, and lame."
I'm actually GLAD this story sucked because I just want to draw a line and write off the entire last few years of the show as non-canon. A good episode would jeopardise that.
Just imagine, someday an extraterrestrial invasion fleet will be heading towards Earth, intercept these Doctor Who episodes - and call the whole thing off.
For what particular reason
I dunno, mate, they may double time their efforts, deeming a mercy killing.
@@PelemusMcSoy Lol - "Attention attack fleet, advance the invasion of Earth before the humans unleash Season 2". 🤣
Soooo.....everyone on earth died, including David Tennant's Doctor?
When he's brought back to life does that fire the regeneration process, and if so is there another split Doctor on earth now?
And what happened to D.T's TARDIS?
Jeebus. ...
This whole season really does feel like RTD punishing fans for wanting him to return at all.
Every story seems full of spite, malice, and anger.
He truly is the Spiteful One.
Towards both Classic and Modern Doctor Who fans. He came back to destroy both sides of the franchise.
@@SammEater And he's succeeding. How do we stop him and return the favour?
This script writing was done under a mixture of Prozac Meth crack and Fentynal
Thank you for that 🤣🤭
Don't forget a box of wine.
That's offensive you didn't include Ozempic.
Producer Guy, "That works!"
You forgot Poppers
I swear RTD just used ChatGPT to write this series
I've played with it, and Chat GTP really does come up with plots like this; the vague mystery, the world ending villain with no real explanation, no real direction. I wouldn't be surprised.
@@BackUp-nx2de I am feeding my collection of classic and Eighth Doctor ebooks into a local GPT. It's gonna take absolute days, it has so far and it's not a third finished.
... of course, I asked the silly thing BEFORE I started reading in the books, "describe the Candy monster from the seventh Doctor episode" and it described him as a Hobbit, so.
That leash time vortex stretch literally leaves me speechless. Dr. Who has been pretty awful for years but this is literally mind numbingly stupid. I was operating under the impression that RTD was at least a competent writer, just hopelessly lost to activism, but that leash BS has shattered that illusion for me.
Amazing. They really did the "Oh, you're special because we believed in you! All the other people across history that are insignificant? Nobody has ever believed in them enough. Not cult leaders, or kings, or loved ones. Nobody cared about anyone the way you were mildly interested in your mom's backstory!" I really hoped we were past that shitty ass trope.
This is so typical of modern PC story writing... Lazy tropes masquerading as profundity.
Ruby: "I love you!!"
Doctor thinking: "I love me, too!!"
What? Not
Ruby: "I love you!"
Doctor: "I know"
To summarize the season
RTD: "OOOOH Look at this Mystery box! It has Ruby's mother inside isn't it so amazing?!"
Audience: "K..."
RTD: "... but BUT that's not all! It can make it snow and DODGE THE GOD OF DEATH!"
Audience: "Alright... so this must be important then?"
RTD: *Proceeds to open box* "IT WAS NOTHING! Haha! Tricked you! It was only important because YOU made it important! HAHAHAHA"
Audience: "... what?"
The real twist is that RTD is just a brain damaged version of JJ Abrams. At least JJ remembered to PUT something in the box, even if it was stupid.
Good question......... for another time!
(Refuses to elaborate)
@@DoodsUnited I get you. But deargods this is not the crossover we wanted.
And I just need to point out, Sutekh WAS NOT THE GOD OF DEATH, both the Death portfolio and the jackal head were ANUBIS not Sutekh.
@@troffle I thought something felt off about that!!!
God of disorder and chaos… ain’t that a descriptor for this show now…
@@StarWarsomania you looked it up? YOU ARE AWESOME. Thank you for restoring a tiny speck of my previous faith in humanity.
Wait they seriously had Ruby's mom be 15 when she gave birth. And everyone just thought. It will be fine
I imagine RTD would say something like "underage pregnancy is a reality and happens all the time in the real-world, so we feel it's important to reflect that." Not understanding that just because something _does_ happen in the real world, doesn't mean it _should,_ and all he's actually doing is normalising it...
The world record is 5. Mother and child lived. Lina Medina.
There. That is a thing you know now.
When I first theorised Sutekh returning (yes it was that easy to guess!), I thought 'great, finally a chance for this series to do well' but the truth of the matter is that they BUTCHERED him! That final episode basically destroyed EVERYTHING left of the Dr Who canon by somehow suggesting Sutekh was MAGICALLY on top of the TARDIS _the entire_ time - yes even when the Daleks and other big threats and unique stuff happening, Sutekh didnt pop out to finally kill the Doctor or aid the baddies. SO DUMB! And Susan Twist is nobody! And Ruby is just a 'normal' girl? But then how does she see the snowing thing? Why would Sutekh be interested in her and not Clara Oswald for example?
Honestly, the answer is easy. Like so many other franchises the writers want to use magic as the answer. They don't want to put effort in being consistent or logical, so they just make stuff up. Any inconsistencies can be waved away as "because magic. Why Stekh didn't acted before, because magic. Why Susan have snow powers, because magic.
@@juan0808 Agreed, and this is the laziest form of writing that there is.
@@juan0808 That is the worst thing about incompetent/lazy people writing fantasy or scifi. They think that, because the rules aren't the same as reality, there are no rules. But it doesn't work that way. In order for a scifi or fantasy story to be good, there have to be rules. The difference is that you write the rules and then you have to stick to them. In this case, there were rules already in place and RTD decided to break those rules, thinking that it didn't matter, but for a Doctor Who story to be good, it can't break the rules in the past. The only real exception I can think of off the top of my head is the sonic screwdriver which became a bit overpowered. However, even there, there is one rule. It doesn't work on wood. That stays consistent for whatever reason.
Personally I would've had the Trickster be the shadowy figure that dropped Ruby off at the church. The trickster lives in a plane the tardis never visited, so the trickster is safe and because he's the parent of Ruby. The dust would never killed her, and the reason why that moment is so important and keeps changing is because that's what the trickster does. They set up that moment to be a choice that the doctor would have to make. The doctors choice with ruby , and the reason why the Trickster did this in the first place. Is because when Sutekh brought death to existence, then there was no more chaos.
Never mind. At least you still have the acolyte.
Since she is able to create a new Tardis with her memories, can we say that her memories is re-Tardis?
Since she was searching for her mother on a *_continued hunt,_* we can say that RTD is a…
Season One, Episode Eight was excellent, I loved the bit where Ian got inside the dalek and they were able to escape in time to warn the Thals about the ambush.
All the identity agendas aside, this was legitimately one of the worst episodes of anything I've ever seen.
I can't wait for RTD to write a person with a walker, that turns into a Gatling gun. A person with crutches that turn into katanas. Or a mobility scooter with a cannon.
Did they already do that last one sorta with the agent lady in a wheel chair that fires rockets
I personally want a walker that turned into a Gatlin gun now that I read it.
That’s ridiculous! It would have to be a recoilless rifle. 🤔
@@abrahamnarvaez1730Yeah, they did
The iron lung that doubles as an ion cannon.
Apparently while being dragged by the TARDIS Sutekh was so dumbfounded at the silliness of the plot that he completely forgot that he can in fact kill somebody or posses them and control them like a puppet with a mere glance and a flash of his eyes.
That's what he gets for watching the last few seasons of Game of Thrones. He just kinda forgot.
Well, he WAS, after all, an Evil CGI Horse.
Or that something with the power of Sutekh could have, oh I don't know, cut the cord.
@@troffle He just didn't have the technology. I mean it's a cord that's used to secure a load to a trailer, how could his giant intellect possibly comprehend that?
@@SuperLloyd84 jesuswept the picture you draw of the levels of intelligence of these writers, that just hurts. This show used to have a mandate of intelligent writing for the audience. We're doomed.
Let's also point out, it came from his silly "remembered" TARDIS. When have we ever seen that thing before?
Stop letting Soap Opera and Sitcom Writers write Science Fiction and Fantasy. They clearly lack the intelligence to do so competently. I've been seeing this for the last 20 year or so, every Franchise gets wrecked the moment people familiar with how to write these genres are no longer doing so. It all turns to Feelings and Hallways and Wibbly Wobbly Timey whimey who gives a shit how anything works it's all about me and the Drama I want to create
Foundation was a beautifully crafted Series (with a few flaws). For the Season Finale the Showrunner destroyed Terminus, the home of the Foundation. That does not happen in the books and destroys the story entirely. But, hey, the Showrunner said he wanted a Big Bang Finale.
@@joso7228 It was absolutely not. Foundation was utter offensive trash that spits on absolutely everything Asimov ever cared about.
Asimov wrote over 300 books and had a PhD. Psychohistory was originally developed by a team of over 50 mathematicians.
Insane things like a perpetually cloned emperor or a psychic girl would have completely messed up psychohistory. Said psychic girl who ought to have been executed on her own planet for dabbling in forbidden arts worked out psychohistory? So would the mind-reading technology at the entry ports. So would the "Vault"'s quantum-build-new-body technology. If the Star Bridge was so crucial, why was there only one and why was it not rebuilt after thirty years?
The room full of scientists and engineers who decided it was better to archive a sundial than a waterclock in case you settled a planet without water and WANTED TO KNOW HOW LONG IT WAS GOING TO TAKE YOU TO DIE. Plus the same scientists watching this woman guess ten coin flips in a row and NOT ASK HOW SHE DID IT.
And a book Hardin who said "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent", to the TV version who said "I'm gonna go see what violence we can muster".
And spaceships that have clear windows into outer space, but instead of closing the windows, FORCE YOU TO GO TO SLEEP BEFORE HYPERSPACE JUMPING.
If you think the "Foundation" series was beautifully crafted... deargods AND YOU DO KNOW THE BOOKS?
You have committed the kind of sin Asimov the atheist would have condemned you for. The series wasn't just utter trash from start to finish, it wasn't just an attack on the intelligence of the audience, it was an utter sin against absolutely everything both the Foundation and Asimov stood for. The problem with the Empire was the decay of the galaxy thanks to human nature and stupidity; and this show WAS ITSELF AN EXAMPLE OF HUMAN NATURE AND STUPIDITY.
Useless bad guy. Kills everyone else in the world and sodding Bonnie Langford is still alive. No justice.
remember when The Rani dressed as Mel? Fortunately the show couldn't get any worse... but it did
Problems with ruby’s mom being normal average person:
- Snow and music?
- What did maestro mean when he said there was something wrong with her?
- Why was the mom “beyond a glitch and shadowed”
- Why did the memory of the doctor regarding the mom change?
- The time window required the power of Europe to power up and was broken, it turned on magically when ruby walked in and then stayed on throughout the whole episode?!?!!
- Why was the time window answering the questions?
General plot holes:
- why did the doctor need to get a spoon when the planets were left intact in 2046 there was load of metal just no people?
- so the doctors entire plan was based on the tardis not being moved/rotated?
- if the doctor,Mel and Ruby were the last people alive in the universe why did sutekh care about the mom if she was already dead?
- if a new Susan is created 73 yards away from tardis when the doctor lands somewhere then how can the mom of a character be a Susan?!?!
- how does death to death bring life? Doesn’t really make much sense.
- why was that random woman alive? Why did the doctor land there?
These are some I noticed after first watching, if I rewatch I’d probably find a few more.
Also, Just rembered didn’t in boom the ambulance was unable to say who the mother was? Wouldn’t it know cuz of the dna test??? Might need to rewatch boom.
Also on the “bringing death to death brings life” shite, how come everybody is coming back to life while Sutekh is being dragged through the time vortex, and is still very much alive!
Their mentality is, don't think ,just consume product and get excited for next product!
How did the DNA records exist in 2046 when everyone died years before the samples would have been taken?
Good summary! I too wrote my own list of problems with the episode, and it has many different points to both you and the video. Basically, every single line of this hour-long episode is a problem. It's one big steaming pile.
"Ruby's mum"
If I messed up this badly at work, I would have been fired and found it hard to find a new job.
Anyone else would be spending a lot of time at the jobcentre.
With a job coach in tears.
You did what?!
How did you even manage to mess up that bad?!
Oh they did not try to make the Doctor leaving Susan into a horrible thing that he shouldn't have done. Context is very important on that one. He left her behind because she fell in love with a man, and The Doctor knew that she wouldn't be able to bring herself to leave him in order to be with the man she loved. The Doctor left her behind so she could live a happy life with him, and probably also to help humanity rebuild, after the Dalek occupation of Earth was thwarted. it probably hurt him way more than her to do that, but he knew it was what was best for Susan. Also, he promised that one day he would come back and see her. The Doctor is being chastised by RTD for the crime of wanting to give his granddaughter the chance to have a family of her own, and live a normal life.
To be fair:
a) he's been busy
b) the first Doctor and Susan met again in "The Five Doctors". And then she got to meet the Fifth Doctor.
c) according to the Audios, the Eighth Doctor did indeed go back to see her.
But I'm super sure facts just get in RTD's and the modern fans's way.
Reminds me of The Doctor Dances, talking to the doctor in the hospital “When this war (WWII) began, I was a father and a grandfather. Now, I am neither, but I am still a doctor.” At the time, I didn’t know any Classic Who, so I didn’t know about Susan, but the power of that scene was that you KNEW the 9th Doctor was connecting with him on a visceral level and therefore he must have lost both children and grandchildren in the Time War (I’m honestly still unclear if Susan lived out her life(s) with her husband on Earth or if she joined Gallifrey in the Time War).
Mind you, it reminds me because the writing used to be GOOD and it used to complement what came before, and now it’s just… whatever the hell this is.
Before, you felt that the Doctor was running away from past mistakes because, like all creatures in this fallen universe, he is fallible, but as a “higher being” his mistakes have vastly greater consequences. Now, you feel like the writers are bashing the character for perceived character flaws before *they* - perfect beings that they are - controlled him. It’s enough to make me yack up my oatmeal.
@@StarWarsomania Yes I loved that scene! I'm not very familiar with the Big Finish audiobooks, or other spin off stuff, but I always took that scene to mean that she had been killed as a result of the Time War. She may not have wanted to join up with Gallifrey, but I could easily see a scenario where the Daleks found out that The Doctor's granddaughter was on Earth, and sent a force out to exterminate her, as a way to hurt The Doctor. Maybe that was part of what pushed him to join in the war in the first place.
@@StarWarsomania his claim to being a father is tenuous, unless you count Jenny.
In the post-classic books the Time Lords were sterile and instituted regeneration to continue the species until they built machines to remix base genetics to grow new Gallifreyans. And Susan was originally in pre-Time Lord history, the Hand of Omega kicked the TARDIS into Gallifrey's forbidden past for the Doctor to find Susan.
But now, just like Star Wars with Disney, they threw out the books until they needed to cherry pick something decent to resurrect, steal and degrade like Thrawn.
The book depicting all that history is called "Lungbarrow".
Remember, child labor is fine as long as they've got genius level intellect that we can use.
Plot twist if a) RTD had a brain and b) UNIT scientific advisors had a lifespan of more than two episodes: the kid is funnelling off technology and money to become the next insanely powered supervillain.
... I just want to know where the anti-TARDIS forcefield of the archives and the Time Window CAME from. Silly me, thinking Davies had a complete enough worldview to not ask such questions.
The only way this series could've been redeemed is this: when Ruby turns around at the end, she turns around with a revolver and shoots him so he can regenerate into someone that doesn't cry like a beech 3 times per episode on average.
That would have been the perfect ending... Unless the next one is somehow even WORSE. Because that's something BBC would do...
That'd be hilarious.
Sob sob! Boohoo!
Crying in the middle of the worst time possible.
Ruby.
FFS!
Pulls a revolver and takes him out.
Stop crying and do something!

"This is just ass!"
Russel T. Davies and Ncuti Gatwa define themselves thus.
Just imagine the Tom Baker era of Doctor Who, with this budget! Tom Baker would have smashed it 💥
They did a much better job with much less money. Chances are if the had a lot more money it might not have been as great as it was because they wouldn'0t have thought things through as much
OK, but we have to admit that unit just breaking out the firearms and shooting at the space aliens is kind of a meme.
I remember the Easter special, where the look of just joy and rapture on the face of one of the unit soldiers when he said bullets work on them, it was it was fun.
Are we going to address the fact that EVERY living thing is now immortal?
i like to believe they chose the futurama method of storing the "dead" where they keep the living heads in jars filled with sedating chemicals.
The writers never even thought of that and no one will ever mention it again
Hopefully it won’t matter because this will be the last episode of Doctor Who for a decade or two. As usual, I’m sure this show will disappoint me on this point like it’s been doing for a few years now.
YES I was thinking amount the same thing, Rose giving life back to Jack had MEANING and was something serious, but even apart from this they are ripping off SO MANY thing from Ecclestone's series it's genuinely infuriating
@@neillindgren8992 Sadly, "Season 2" has already been filmed and is in post-production. It's happening - RTD and Gatwa once again, the nightmare continues. I've only really been watching this latest season "just to see how bad it can get", but after this, I don't think I can go any further. This was the least woke of the episodes and still somehow the most offensive to my intelligence.
Did Sutekh have a Rubik's Cube. He must have been bored shitless hanging around all those years. I wonder if he killed random stuff on the way just to keep his hand in?
He probably just napped. He had every opportunity to screw the Doctor but just kind of didn’t bother.
How do you think he reached his ultimate evolution?
Only someone who's mastered the 100x100x100 cube can reach such an enlightened state that he can't recognize an average teenager.
I think he's been slowly killing the Drs braincells...
He was easily yanked by Ncuti becuse he skipped leg day since the 70's
For the record, Sutekh wasn't the god of death, that was Anubis. As was the jackal's head. Sutekh also wasn't the god of dust, that was his father Geb.
Rage baiting doesnt work any more than telling ppl what to be angry about. I just don't care about dr who anymore.

OMG, I am so sad that we're finally at the end of Disparu's epic coverage of "Doctor Boo-Hoo Who" 😭😭😭
Tennant took the original TARDIS because he could sense Sutek on the copy and was like "Nah, I'm just gonna go ahead and not deal with that."
The classic Pyramid of Mars was far superior. This offered nothing new.
It almost seems he went out of his way to pervert the original.
No one seems to mention how the "Doctor" uses his sonic screwdriver about 5 times in the whole series (If that). He also does not use his intelligence to overcome any issues. He seems incompetent and only the people around him make a "difference".
Well, he did change a CRT TV from the 90s into a Tablet with the Sonic Screwdriver. Somehow. Just Consume Product, don't ask questions.
The incredible part is that TV's were box shaped for a reason, i.e. they needed a cone-shaped screen to work.
The artifice was making the Cone-Shape look less odd. If you look at the 2005 iMac 'teardrop' shape, that's functionally why. Putting an iPod inside a shoe is possible, but you'd have to functionally assert a reason for it.
When they changed from CRT to LCD, suddenly you could get flat-screen devices.
The Cathode ray relies on a cone-shaped projection to shoot electrons at a screen/material layer, using a controlled magnetic coil to fire in scanned lines. How this works when you flatten the process is infinitely odd, because it still needs a reflector or coil to aim the beam(s).
It's a vastly different kind of technology to the LCD or matrix screen, which has a field of crystals that change state based on voltage.
I sort of get what they're trying to achieve, but it's a bizarre method to attach a Tablet to a computer when you could just have WiFi and make it work. 2046 and 2026, most tech should work. Just like 2006 and 2026. You can't really guarantee an iPhone 6 will work, unless they make 5/6/7G backward compatible, or they make concessions for older devices. IDK.
@@Toliman. What you wrote here is 100% more intelligent than anything this "Doctor" has done or said in all these episodes.
I think that's the point. How do you destroy a culture? First you destroy their heroes. When kids have no role models to learn from they become weak and easy to manipulate.
A character, or characters, are only as intelligent as the people writing them. As for the magic wand, I mean, sonic screwdriver, it's SERIOUSLY OVERUSED. Just look at any promo poster or cover of Dr Who since Harry Potter, think about John Hurt's War Doctor giving shit to the knob-end doctors brandishing it like it's a weapon ("It's a screwdriver, what are you going to do? Assemble a cabinet at them???"). Ffs.
Patrick Troughton, Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy and even Paul McGann use the sonic SPARINGLY. The only other Doctor that used it quite often was Jon Pertwee and even then it wasn't EVERY EPISODE.
@@PhialSubstance Yes, but WHAT'S THE POINT? What is the POINT of doing a destruction this hideous and miserable?

Ruby's Mom: ... I was a total slag!
"You want a father? I'll put all the names in this hat..."
On serious note, if she ran DNA test father's name would appear just the same as mother's. So she probably knows who her father is. Just won't mention him ever again. Like Amandla Stenberg.
Notice nobody's explained if the DNA testing was instituted in the Ap Gwilliam future, how is it 2024 UNIT had the data?
Man... When I thought the twist was gonna be... that the mom was Susan who was persued by Daleks, or had been found by the Timelords that wanted to draft her for the time wars, or something so she HAD to quickly drop her baby. And I thought that would be incredibly lazy and obvious writing and yet somehow... the actual writing is WORSE than what I feared.... Good job.
That man deserves a knighthood for sitting through the entire season, I guess more then once for our sanity!

Nobody stays dead any more in Doctor Who. So, there are no emotional stakes.
No one can even die in the Whoniverse to begin with.
Every living thing is now immortal...The Dr. killed death. Nothing can ever die again.
Admittedly, this has been a problem with Doctor Who for a long time, and is especially pronounced for Nu Who. I remember Eccleston accidentally unleashing a gateway that flooded Earth with a battalion of Daleks because he thought it was a signal from Gallifrey, but later in the same 45 minute episode managed to pull some sonic screwdriver shenanigans to suck every Dalek back in the gateway with minimal human casualties. There's no point in most Nu Who storylines to care about major events and setpieces because they are just... ludicrous and no matter how high the stakes were, they were overcome with ridiculous ease and with little cost.
Compared to some of the major events from classic Doctor Who. The Hartnell era 12 episode epic "The Dalek Master Plan" (13 if you count "Mission to the Unknown", although 2 episodes basically don't relate to anything because of the Christmas lead up and 2 involve a rematch with the Meddling Monk) is one of the biggest examples of where the stakes are high and, although the Doctor triumphs, the price of victory is not cheap. The War Games (Patrick Troughton's finale) is also interesting because it's another example of the Doctor facing a renegade Time Lord, except the renegade has aligned himself with Steve Jobs and ultimately the Doctor realises that Time Lord intervention is required, knowing full well that the Time Lords view him as a renegade.
That's why them destroying the Donna arc in the Christmas special finally broke the show for me.
@@DeadlyPlatypus He also killed morality.
That was a plot point in the last grwat time war, butheres the thing, there it was a bad thing, it was an indication that TIME ITSELF was being so distorted by these two godly factions that death became just a word, people would die, then come back only to die right after and rinse and repeat, but here? This is just lame and stupid
Why didn't they make Clara " The impossible girl" be her mother ? Make sense as she travelled with every Dr. Manipulating all their stories.
Consider how similar Millie and Jenna look that would have been a brilliant idea - but I'd rather Clara not be connected to this. Bad enough they dragged Mel and Sarah Jane into this.
Jenna is having a baby.. my favorite companion.
Also, she's supposed to be unalive now and wouldn't have the metabolic processes anymore.
Well now they live in a universe where the Earth can be destroyed a thousand paradoxical times in the past and dust can travel through space to destroy suns so what the damn hell.
I don't know what this show is about, but it certainly isn't about The Doctor. This new "doctor" is clearly an imposter. The Doctor is over 2,000 years old and we've seen many versions of him and he would never act like this cowardly imbecile. Remember that fantastic monologue with "never be cowardly". This "doctor" is a confused coward most of the time - just look at the expression on Ncuti's face. Its pathetic. The Doctor is the smartest and wisest person in the known universe. Go watch Heaven Sent to get an idea of what this man can do all by himself without even his TARDIS. That is a great man. Whomever this imposter is, it's clearly not The Doctor. Sadly we stopped following The Doctor's journey with Capaldi.
One theory suggests he is only half-powered so Tennant will return to un-re-bi-generate so Ncuti will be complete and manly and not gay.
Lol - as if with RTD
Plot twist: the new regeneration cycle wasn’t working properly and was causing cognitive and personality defects (hi Dr Karen!). This “bigeneration” was actually the Doctor’s body expelling all the toxins so his next REgeneration could go smoothly. Nurse What is just a collection of failed personality traits and behaviours. Sort of like the Watcher in reverse.
Also, do you notice the "genius" 13 year-old in the mobility scooter pumping round after round from said scooter... directly into the back of the Unit member kneeling down in front of him?
I noticed the bullets "turning to dust". I wonder if the lasers turned to dust.
Fun fact: apparently; RTD took inspiration from The Last Jedi for the reveal of Ruby's parents.
That makes way too much sense
But got bored and didn't see to the end so missed the whole "What wait SHE IS SPECIAL THEN" part.
@@markgrehan3726 Even then, Disney doesn't want us to think that she's special because she's the child of a non Force sensitive Palpatine clone or because she appropriated the name Skywalker in the end.

@@markgrehan3726 The fact he took inspiration from that film at all is damaging enough.
The twist is; there is no twist. It’s not clever, it’s just wasting time on a pointless mystery, when we could be developing the character in the present.
Also, wasn't this meant to be a total reboot of the show, yet they keep referencing when the show was good lmao. Rusty Tin Dildo is a hack, and his last run as showrunner was either a fluke or someone knew how to keep him in line.
Often the team below is what makes a leader look good. A good leader knows to take and keep the team with them.
Actually showing clips from 50 years ago is pretty lame considering what they've said about the past.
It's the same thing that happened with Disney Star Wars. They immediately declared everything but the original six movies non-canon, and then spent the next decade stealing from the non-canon bits to produce cheap, low quality versions of it. They're hacks who can't even steal properly.
@@Mereologist As far as SW goes,, you're better off with just the first six movies, and then cherry-picking whatever you want from the old Extended Universe material that you want and that fits, as your headcanon. It's what a lot of fans are doing anyway.
With Doctor Who, Star Wars, Trek, Ghostbusters, etc, it's nice and easy just to say all these franchises ended in 2013. That's also when music became drivel, too. It all changed in 2013.
This is one of the problems with a lot of scifi nowadays. They make the situation too large. It worked once with Thanos, but it can't work over and over again. At this point, him saying that the universe is being destroyed doesn't really mean much. Smaller stories work so much better, especially for Doctor Who.
Time to de-power him. Like Pertwee stuck on Earth. And a Pertwee style serious adventurer type Doctor would be good now - how about Poldark?
Well this was a monumental waste of everyone's time. So much hype about the mysterious hooded figure and absolutely zero payoff.
10:20 compare this "remembering the TARDIS back into existence" to Amy Pond on her wedding day. "Raggedy man, I remember you! And you are LATE FOR MY WEDDING! Something old, something new, something borrowed,....something BLUE"
Have to say with Matt Smiths first season.
Lots of stuff didn't make technical sense. I mean Rory dying... and then he was a mechanical centurian somehow... And then the Doctor Rebooted the entire universe... Somehow... and Rory is back to life and a normal human... Somehow... And Amy and Rory now remembers a timeline that no longer exists cause it was rebooted... Somehow.
This all technically doesn't make sense.
BUT! The attachment to the characters was GREAT! The emotional impact, the emotional satisfaction was absolutely one hundred percent there.
And you can get away with this, if you have the emotional satisfaction. Which Matt Smith season 1 DID.
And this obviously did not...
I cared about Amy, I cared about Rory, I cared about the Doctor. I was attached to the Doctors' willpower, and how he had to stand up to fix this not showing any fear or doubt.
To Rory's loyalty that never faltered and I got to see it.
To Amy's perseverance that she would not give up.
We SAW them all being exceptional and acting it, so I could be impressed by them, feel attached, and be happy when they got a happy ending! They EARNED it and my emotional satisfaction!
You care about the characters so much that you almost don't care that it doesn't make much sense
That is pretty much how it works.
I found Amy, Rory and River extremely dislikable and so I forgave nothing. Which isn’t saying that I thought the actors were bad at their jobs, because they were all doing a good job of playing what the scripts asked for
Moffat was a messy writer so he absolutely relies on fans liking his lead characters.
@@MoonPhantom100% spot on.

It’s interesting to think about. How is western culture made? Is it top down or bottom up?
I almost never comment, or reply to comments, but this is on point.
They're following orders, no other explanation.
"We've got to force behaviors" - Larry Fink
in the 1970's in the uk tv programs like "love thy neighbour" were created to make people more accepting of immigrants. the white man was shown to be a bigot and the black man to be reasonable and good company. this is just the current year ham fisted attempt.
And paying for it through Blackrock
It seems life after 2015 (or perhaps 2019) the 🌎 REALLY entered a pervasive woke era @an aggresive pace. Academia, politics, policies, social media censorship, rising crime, gov't going after farmers, increase in mental illness, openly gr***ing children, intense gaslighting by media, exposure of corruption. It's like forces of darkness decided to come out from the sewers & let everyone in the daytime know that they've always been the ones behind the scenes.
I'm wondering if Russell T Davies has begun hormone replacement therapy.
Another fucked up thing. Ruby has been living with big momma Sunday in London her whole life. But she tells the colonel in the time window room thing that she is from teamside in Manchester? And yes obviously her accent is Manchurian. But I just thought we were ignoring that.
She had a Manchurian Chinese accent? She really is a Minger.
(sorry - just a joke - Ruby is good)
No, she talks in Church On Ruby Road about how they lived in Manchester but moved to London to take care of Cherry Sunday.
@@lucasoheyze4597 oh well that explains it then. Except now big momma Sunday doesn't have any Manchester inflection.
@@paulwade4058 Well, I'm Scottish and I've lived in Liverpool for 20 years and still have a Scottish accent...so I reckon Carla moved up to Manchester years ago, but kept her accent.
RTD deserves a prison sentence for this kind of cultural vandalism. The less said about Gatwas acting, the better
I liked Gatwas acting the whole season, but it can't save the bad writing from RTD part 🙈.
RTD: So we changed the sonic because it shouldn't look like a gun, not a good thing to market to kids. ALSO RTD: Has 13 year old kid with machine gun in wheelchair, blasting away.
Remember RTD had 13's costume regenerate to 14's costume because he didn't want the Doctor in "drag" , then hired a Drag Queen and put the doctor in a skirt.
Even dumber, it was his revival series that made th Sonic Screwdriver to be used in this way. The Classic Series the Screwdriver mainly was used for opening locks or panels, occasionally to use a sonic pulse to set of a mine or something (and it had to be done in a very specific way). RTD and co started useing it as a cure all for every problem
Not to mention two 15 year olds having a kid
@@sayLeotardbutsayitChinese This is just the world he sees as normal, I guess.
@sayLeotardbutsayitChinese Love has no age don't you know?
whoa wait 13 mins in, Susan Twist spread her dust on all planets throughout time..... as an ambulance?
Any of the other doctors would have unlocked the innate rocket mode of the scooter with his sonic screwdriver.
This show is like watching Han Solo being killed by his emo kid all over again.
But in every single episode.
Ugh. I feel like we’ve all been Rian Johnsoned. Have we been Rian Johnsoned?
Sure seems like it.
Didn't stick the landing, didn't stick the beginning, didn't stick anything. One of the worst seasons of anything ever made.
... stuck together the pages of the script once RTD had printed them...?
For someone so old you would think the doctor would be able to control his emotions especially for trivial things we saw this season
Now we know how many regenerations it takes for senility to set in?
It doesn't shock me that he's as subtle as a sledgehammer to the face but I still feel annoyed that the tarDavis is back in charge of Who.
nnnkh please pick a different name, that sounds like something drawn out of Tolkien.
3:03 "We had to change the look of the Sonic Screwdriver because it was starting to look like the Doctor was pointing a gun"...
3:09 "Don't f**k with the Science Team!"
When was this said, and what sort of alternate reality is such a statement based in?
@@Jackson-ub1uvIt was said by RTD in an interview
Don't believe me, look it up
Still don't believe me?
I don't care
@@SamuelBlack84 Hey, all I said was that the statement itself was idiotic beyond measure, and that no _sane_ person would associate pointing a cylinder to wielding a gun; what _that_ means is that RTD is clearly _not_ sane.
@@Jackson-ub1uv Neither are many of his fans who blindly obey his viewpoint for the sake of virtue signalling
Davies also said that he's going to change the Daleks to being nice and Jo longer evil because he feels they're celebrating evil
What's next? Cybermen with handbags?
I’m pretty liberal myself, but this is now getting serious. The entire premise of Dr. Who is under threat from tired old tropes.
At least the licence fee was saved a gullible Disney who love this PC tosh. They like it so much they’ve almost destroyed their own company with it.
