If only we could find large audiences enjoying it it would make some sense, in this case girls arent really enjoying the G.I joes having tea, at most they have a knee jerk reaction to call those who complain, bigots and only because it makes them look good tp their peers
Thing is, a little girl trying to annoy her brother would be trying to make a good tea party... right? (Nope, it's about the harm not doing anything well.)
I am a gay man, and I REALLY can't stress enough how much the vast majority of gays can't stand this cringe agenda pushing being done in our name by a minority of loud activist bullies.
Nothing to do with gay/lesbian/trans. They have no mandate from gay people to do this vandalism. It is all about destruction of cultural iconography. If it was an iconic male, make it a female. If it's a white female, race swap. If it's a strong female from history, say she was a trans man.
It's great that you speak up against it. We need more people from your "community" to do so. I would find it completely disrespectful to be "represented" in all of these garbage productions. It's almost like they are saying you don't deserve better or gay people cannot have taste. We all deserve quality and nobody should be misused as a shield to protect crap.
It's because it's pandering, which is degrading. They act like you weren't seen before and that they're the reason for your existence. It's all ego on their part and most people in the LGBTQ+ groups are sick of this. In fact, I rarely find anyone who's trans or gay or lesbian that tolerates this. The only ones that do are the self-proclaimed Bisexuals, but the vast majority of them are just straight people who say "I'm attracted to the same gender" for attention and to feel included with their LGBTQ+ friends. The tide is turning, and the Far Left is panicking.
It's an interesting strategy to keep the show fresh. Previously they've replaced companions, they've replaced the Doctor. Now they're trying to replace the audience.
As someone related to one of the original Dr Who writers, (60-s till 86) I am stunned but not surprised by this BBC reach around nonsense. Dr Who should be scary, brave, mind blowing. It's doing all of this, but in the wrong ways. Dr Who was never about pandering
Russel coming back gave me hope that the show could get back to some of that real quality it had in the mid-late 2000s and early 2010s. Instead, we were subjected to the worst the show has had to offer so far. I actually think I owe Chris Chibnall an apology for how abysmal this season already looks even compared to his dismal run.
The Ecclestone/Tennant era was some of the best written television ever made. So he's not a hack. It's a combination of free reign and the age we now live in where everything has to be political.
He's also older and more out of touch. To me it reads as that Steve Buscemi "hey kids" meme. The queer kids aren't watching Dr. Who. They are watching Sex ed and Heartstopper and anime. This has no on the ground buzz.
@@ValiantInstancehe has talent but in most cases Talent works best under some kind of boundary pressure. A pop culture show that you only appeal to a portion of your current audience won't be good. But it doesn't have the basic nuts and bolts structure problems that She Hulk did.
If you look at the writers of the Eccleston and Tennant era, a lot of the main writers were older gentleman with a large body of work, and pride in what they did. The best stuff on those eras were written by Moffat. I imagine RTD didn't feel comfortable asking these men to have The Doctor prance around in a skirt, go to a club, and talk about getting snowmanned. Maybe he did ask, and they told him to stuff it. RTD is the sole writing credit for all episodes this season, save one, which lists one writer without any other writing credits, and another that wrote a couple shorts. This is why his revolutionary vision has been realised.
The problem is RTD thinking this is "his" Doctor Who. No it's not, Russel. You have a responsibility to more than your personal agenda. It's not "your" show. Your its custodian. Too many filmmakers today are like this, and their shows and movies suck because of it.
Unfortunately, these people were emboldened by the Star Wars Sequel debacle. TLJ was a hodge podge movie that made it an eldritch abomination. It literally went nowhere. It was the director throwing a fit and trashing a movie, only it got a ton of defenders. It greatly emboldened these absolute dumpster fire ideas. TLJ could have been a good movie, there were definitely elements, but those were trashed to be a giant middle finger to the fans that watched it. Rian Johnson, the director, was quoted saying that he "didn't care that he was making a sequel movie, or that it was a Star Wars movie." He wanted to make "his movie" and a bunch of morons online defended it. This is the result.
RTD had this attitude back in 2005, and while the LGBT content wasn't as prominent, it was more drama than sci-fi because he wanted "his" Doctor Who, and didn't want most of the back story or to work with any previous storywriters or creators. The BBC had no faith in his success but let him have his way because of his success with shows like Queer as Folk. Basically, he's been emboldened by his own success and no longer has any internal or external filters stopping his shittier ideas.
@@TheBlackSeraphThe fact that anyone likes 2005 Who proves to me that people can easily be bullied into liking rubbish. There is literally no difference between 2005 Who and now. It is just slightly more on the nose now.
The Tennant era averaged 8-10 million viewers per episode, the Gatwa era is averaging 2 million. This means that 75-80% of the audience has left and it's not hard to see why.
The character wouldn't be bad if he didn't act like everybody else in the show - and most of the audience - was gay. Flirting every man he meets would almost guarantee a visit to the ER, not a love affair - in this universe, anyway. If a hereto man does the same, that's considered offensive for women.
My Doctor was Ten as well. And as far as I'm concerned, it ended with End of Time, one last glorious exit from the Time Lord. And that's enough for me. Granted 11 and 12 were good they just had abysmal writing.

I’m not a Dr. Who fan, but this comment is literally saddening. 😔 Only cause my own father loved to share the things he enjoyed growing up… I can’t imagine having a franchise so backwards and mismanaged, it’d be harmful to show the youth. But it’s literally now come to that.
Hey, don't throw it all away. Let the grandkids watch the older stuff and do what I did with Indiana Jones and deny the existence of anything after Last Crusade. Which for DW I'd say ends with Tennant. You *could* go all the way up to Capaldi, but Smith's run gets confusing and Capaldi's companions are obnoxious.
This is Davies from 20 years ago. He's now allowed to do whatever he wants. Eccleston hinted at the real reason why he only did one season, and Davies was a big part of that.
I hated the rebooted first season because it felt more like a drama than sci-fi, and you could definitely tell it was written by the same guy who created Queer as Folk. I also later found out that he submitted a script for Doctor Who back in 1987 which got rejected, and that didn't surprise me either.
I read in a different comment section that the actor playing the maestro has been banned from almost every gay club in London for going in, getting completely fall down drunk and compelling the patrons to sexually assault the people working there. If true, that doesn’t just make him a terrible actor, but a terrible person irl
When will the activists learn that audiences are drawn to a character because they are well written and therefore interesting, not because of their sexuality or skin color?
They can't, they can only see activism, if you don't like what they like it's because you are also an activist but for the "enemy" side, it's like a form of autism
Ah! But there do exist many people with little taste and an identity centred around their ideology that demands they only see things as groups. I just don't think those people watch a lot of shows to begin with.
I know people who eat this stuff up. One said it’s a “important message” in our society and they can’t get enough of it. I just want them to admit it’s everywhere and it’s gotten overbearing.
@@Fibonaccisghostthey love the noise but aren't watching the shows, movies, or reading the books comics or playing the game's the ppl you talk about just like the attention from the noise not the subject 😒
What needs to happen is something like what Christopher Eccleston said, fire RTD and everyone and his crew, and hire people who are fans of Dr. Who. Then in the first episode they write, have Peter Capaldi's Doctor wake up on the floor of the TARDIS and say to his companion, "My God, what a nightmare I just had!"
I thought Eccleston was angry at the BBC 1st for wanting him to do something he didn't want to do, and the BBC higher ups, angry about it went to Davis & told him to replace him after the 1st season concludes. Than Eccleston got angry w/ Davis after for not sticking up for him & agreeing just to replace him like it was no big deal!
I remember correctly I seen an interview with Davies about the newest season and he said something to the effect of 'no one would dare to tell him no'. Honestly, you can tell that nobody told him no.
Plot twist - The Doctor actually died with Peter Capaldi. Everything that happened afterwards were just his fevered dreams during his final moments. At least that’s how I choose to see it.
No. It ended with Smith. 12th regeneration. 12 is all you get. And that was enough. I stopped at Smith. It was the logical point. I have nothing but fond memories of Dr. Who.
Yep Doctor Who was already in a downward spiral, thanks to the BBC & Chibnall's run. But instead of admitting failure & canceling Doctor Who, BBC somehow convinced Disney to throw some money at them to keep the trainwreck going & stream it on Disney+.
@@helixxia9320 .... Yes they do, Davis admitted in an interview that he has creative control but Disney can run ideas by him for the show if they want, so what's the chance Disney runs an idea to Davis that he wouldn't agree to 🤔
For me, the "Heaven Sent" episode was the peak. It proved that the Doctor is capable of being right almost endless times in a row, he never gives up and never quit (what he could have, giving up his friend). It explains why everybody fears him.
I have gay friends who have been Doctor Who fans for decades, and they are so utterly appalled by how bad this is that they were publicly asking on social media trying to find someone who could give them reasons to continue watching.
Y'know, maybe the Daleks weren't all that bad. Sure, they were temperamental at times, but maybe it's because they saw what was coming and tried to save us.
Don't say that. Next you know, they're gonna be telling you the Daleks are actually misunderstood genderfluid progressives who collectively had an abusive childhood. Well, alright, the last one I could believe.
If they are calling this stuff "Dr Who", then I will declare that Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure trilogy as the lost season of Dr Who, and George Carlin is the best to play the role, using the doctor's little known real first name, Rufus. Ok, an American phone booth with a broken umbrella strapped to it is not a police call box, but come on.... what is this stuff the BBC is putting out?
Their mentality is it doesn't matter if the ship sinks: all that matters is they are the captain. These people have proven time and again they would rather see it all burn than lose power. They will not stop, they must be stopped.
Have you considered that the *goal* is sinking the ship, and the ship in question is western civilization? And that theyve been successful so far because everyone is either too niave or too cowardly to do anything about it.
I agree with every single criticism, but as a musician, I actually like the idea/concept of the character Maestro, it's a cool idea and could have been a great villain: a god-like primordial being who controls sound and music, and feeds off the cathartic emotions music brings...if only it had been done seriously in a classic Dr Who style, and not in this twisted woke abomination way.
I don't think it would have worked. First of all, pseudo-godlike characters tend to ruin sci-fi as their ability to redefine the laws of reality runs contrary to sci-fi's tendency to have boundaries on how things operate (think Q from Star Trek TNG). Secondly, the most obvious parallel in Doctor Who's history would be the Celestial Toymaker, an eternal being who can manipulate reality and can't be killed but can only have his domain destroyed by beating his games - which he goes out of his way to make sure are almost impossible to win. He appeared once in the Hartnell era and never again. The only other godlike entities I can recall were the Black and White Guardians - two all powerful entities (one evil one good) in binary opposition to each other introduced during the Key of Time arc, and I think used in one other storyline under one of the later Doctors. Trying to justify why an all-powerful being requires someone else to go on a maguffin hunt or how a different all-powerful being can be defeated and easily evaded makes little sense in universe and doesn't really fit well with the rest of the series.
@@TheBlackSeraph You make some very "sound" arguments, and in general I agree with you about the challenges "god-like" being pose when placed directly in the conflict of the narrative; my main intention of my comment was that I liked the concept of a villian using music and sound as a villain, the villain doesn't have to be god for it to work in the narrative structure of the Dr. Who universe, and thought it's unfortunate that the concept in general being disregarded given the other "issues" going on with Dr. Who currently. On this subject, one of my main objections is the who "Timeless Child" retconning of Dr Who and changing him from the renegade Time Lord we all know and love, to something else entirely, erasing Hartnell as the 1st Dr and turning him into a genderless deity, which among so many other problems this creates, now the villains have to be god like to play on the same level. Dr Who died with Capaldi and I let him go too...
@@MrJeffcoley1 In an ideal world they could hi5 each other in the job center but since we're still living in clown world I'm sure they'll both get handed new franchises to destroy.
@@st0nedpenguin That happens to people in other studios for sure, like the guy who wrote Morbius somehow still getting work, but I can't see any of the operators in the Disney bad projects getting any more work. Disney seems pissed with those people and the execs who chose to hire them.
"Dr. Who was not made for straight white men." Correct, when I was a kid and watched it in the 60's/70's it was known as a KIDS show not a show for men... straight, white or otherwise.
ANOTHER show made for a modern audience that simply doesnt exist. Or if it does exist, it certainly isnt big enough to justify a prime time slot on BBC1 on a Saturday night! Never mind completely ruining a beloved 50, 60 year old franchise as well!
The doctor went from a wandering traveler who got caught up in events. To an ultra demi god who couldn't lose any battle. Yes, the 7th doctor ran around with plots and plans. But that was his personality as his regeneration settled in.
@@stuartbrown8309 Well it is another example of modern feminism and gay influencing culture. The Doctor had to be the bestest evah and the centre of attention. You over power a character and you leave writers no room. And we see it everywhere. For example, imagine if JJ Abrhams' Star Trek films were about Lieutenant Kirk (and he had kept to canon.) How much better would the films have been? Yet he goes from conscript to captain in a few reels completely destroying the plot........
Having had the unfortunate chance to meet that thing in person (ex wife was a big fan and it came to a local comic con) I can confirm, it is as narcissistic and insane in person as it is on tv. Freak is an apt description
@@calebharch7229 - Even some of the Smith seasons had cringeworthy series arcs, so my take is that this is a case of slow decline, not some magic point of falling off a cliff. The first few seasons were much more fun than what it eventually became, even before all the hot-button stuff. Without watching it, I can't judge how terrible the new stuff is, but I've seen enough of the last decade plus to know I'm not interested in watching it.
Capt Jack was also overtly sexual but it was done in a way that was fun to watch not pornographic. Everyone I know loved him. The character was so much fun and the actor was charismatic. This new Dr just doesn't have the same ability.
That's because neither the show TORCHWOOD nor the characters in it were created intentionally out of spite. Shad and Drinker NAILED the motivation behind what we're all now being subjected to.
Jack was pan, and people found it hilarious because it was never treated like it was weird or taboo, just a part of who he was and his incorrigible flirting was just played for laughs.
Reminds me of how the pride flag used to be just a rainbow that meant "everyone is included" and we all agreed with that pretty much, but now it's an ugly design nightmare with extra triangles and stripes as to mean "here's all the groups that we think should be included". Doctor Who was a show that was very inclusive and everyone could enjoy, but now it's trying to be more inclusive they made it a show that no one wants.
The pride flag is the biggest load of BS. It means nothing, because it is trying to mean everything. And Pride month is the biggest and easiest load of corporate virtue signalling. Were these companies flying the Pride flag years ago when it would actually have made a difference and meant something? Course not. Will they fly the flag in a country now where it is dangerous to be gay? Nope.
They have turn it into a religion, also those shitty triangles are more of an anglo (and probably french) thing, like adding BLM colors? Really? Those idiots think USA and UK are the entire world. And trans are more importan than lgb and the others?
Guys, BBC has absolutely no control over this. The show used to be made in-house at BBC Wales Llandaff studios and Roath Lock studios up until Matt Smith's last season. Once Matt Smith was gone, the entire show was outsourced to Bad Wolf Studios with post production done at Gorilla TV. Not a single person who has worked on the first 8 seasons is working on it now. Those people used to be on permanent staff contracts and were difficult to fire. Now, the show is made almost exclusively by freelancers. The reason no one speaks out about it is because people on insecure freelance contracts know they can be fired at a drop of a hat if they say anything.
@@randomdude189 I don't know jack about the film industry, but are the BBC just forced to accept whatever these 3rd party companies come up with? Aren't the BBC the customer in this situation, and can therefore just take their money elsewhere?
@@RaddnedgeExactly. A fuck ton of TV programmes are outsourced, does not mean the BBC loses control, if anything people who are on a contract may be more biddable than BBC employees who feel/are unfireable *cough*Lineker*.
There is a saying in my language that goes something like "I will freeze my ears off to spite my mother". When you talked about how the show's runners are pushing all this obviously trash content on purpose, it immediately made me think of this phrase. They drive their viewers away for "justice" but in the end the bullies and the idiots will be the ones who end up worse off. Bonus that the phrase is often applied to foolish stubborn children, with whom the show's writers and actors share the mental maturity.
The hints were there the whole time. If you ever wondered where Davies went, it’s because no normal person saw anything he wrote between 2010 and now. Gay show, show about gays, gay political drama show, political show about how anyone not gay is a Nazi, remake of gay show, aids show featuring exclusively gay people. For what it’s worth he also did a show about some British soap star I’ve never heard of. I assume 75% of the cast is gay though.
Translation of RTD today: "I'm sad and bitter because my husband died and I'm scared of death too so I'm lashing out and making my problems everyone else's problems." The world is not your therapist, Russell.
Frankly, I don't understand what Russell's 'gotcha' moment is supposed to be here. You're injecting garbage into a show that damn near nobody is watching, but still wanna act like there's a demand for it somewhere. In a few months time, weeks even. Nobody is going to remember this trash heap. Just more rubbish to add to the pile. RTD and company don't get it and probably never will. This shit doesn't sell. Plain and simple. In an age where people have multiple outlets for free content and alternatives. Nobody, especially now, has to tough out the crap RTD pushes out.
Remember that scene when they introduced Capaldi and had all the Dr’s attacking. That was a great story. That was a great ending and even had a scene of Matt Smith meeting an old Tom Baker in a museum. That was story telling. That was about universal story about trying to set things right that you screwed up and realizing sometimes the best you can do is live with the consequences.
Don’t you dare comparing the weeping angles One of the most simple yet effective creative and well implemented sci-fi horror idea in the last 50 years to this turd To this day I have shivers about angel statues
"They are replacing the Master with the Maestro." Which is fantastic, since "maestro" in English is a loan word from Italian where it just means "master".
What you are witnessing with these people is nothing more than the petty vindictiveness and hatred of normal, pedestrian society that has always been there. The only difference is that "they" have been given free reign to be who and what they are for nearly 60 years and are being rejected for it, thus generating even more (dare I say ) self hatred. The shyt gets deep when you dig into the how and why of all of that kind of psychological instability. Excellent review guys.
I don't think anyone here would know Prince of Queens, but he was an anti-woke gay RUclipsr before he passed away suddenly, and he would sometimes talk about how miserable LGBT "culture" and dating is, especially for the men. There's no love among them, just hopeless lust and it forces them to need perfect bodies or else they get nothing at all. Davies most certainly knows what it's like, and he tries to cover it up with that "queer lightness" or whatever he said about Tennant's original run.
I really enjoyed Tennant as the Doctor. He is someone to aspire to and be awe struck by, which makes him attractive to watch on either side of the isle. It's the confidence, charisma and zeal Tennant brought to the character that anyone can enjoy watching. These attributes are completely lost on the latest showrunner who has worked with him.
To be fair, it looks like Tennant fully endorses the lunacy (even has one of his kids on the rainbow)and has villified all the "bigots" who dont mindlessly support trans issues. The question applies to him as well: has he changed over the years or is this his true colors?
Well said all. The best descriptions of why the show I grew up with, from the first episode watched by my mum while pregnant with me to the brilliance of Matt Smith channeling Troughton & the subtle of Capaldi channeling Hartnell & decency. I weep. I’ve said our hearts were always bigger on the inside for this much-loved but now they’re broken 💔
Jinx Monsoon was a fan-favourite contestant on Ru-Paul's Drag Race. Can't imagine why they can't transplant the enthusiasm from an audience who tunes in to watch an American drag show to families tuning in to watch British sci-fi.
@@Ou_phrontis Nope. They are busy watching Heartstopper and reading erotica. The only people watching this are Dr. Who fans who are lingering in pain...
Women. I've never watched the show so I may be completely off with my opinion but I always thought Doctor Who was watched by women who thought the one actor was good looking and campy soap like stories
It's absolutely insane that the BBC gave RTD and co a blank cheque to save Doctor Who and he's gone and taken their money, bought a ton rainbow petrol, doused the franchise with it and set it on fire.
They already gave a blank cheque to Chibnell to do the "Timeless Child". He already set the franchise on fire at this point RTD is just faning the flames.
They keep telling people to stop watching and that you know where the door is. So stop watching. When companies bleed enough money they either figure it out or they go away.
I watched "Dr.Who the Gay Musical" with the immortal words of Roy from the IT Crowd ringing in my ears "Nah.. it's too gay for me - i thought i could handle it but i can't" LOL To be honest though I was out after the first season of Jodi's doctor, but i foolishly watched the David Tennant special for old times same and got a gut punch when the Doctor was ridiculed for being a "man" but i persevered and watch the first two episodes of Ncuti's doctor thinking this could be a breath of fresh air and i'll give it one last go...... Oh..... that fell flat on it's face. This show is no longer made for me, that is absolutely something i agree with Russell on so i'll just hang around and see if someone in the future brings back the actual doctor, you know; the Timelord; that wild eyed genius with childlike fascination in the universe and everyone in it; that doesn't care about people's race, colour or creed - that one. I'll wait until that one's back and the current bigoted toxic heterophobe that is the current doctor has gone.
It absolutely is who Russel T. Davies was 20 years ago. He was prevented from showing it off, which is what he means when he says he had to hide what he was. He always wanted this filth and degeneracy in front of you and your kids, but only now does he have the power to do it.
Yup..I saw a video recently on old computer interfaces (Yeah, I'm great at parties) and the agreed terms for the basic setup has always been master/slave. The content creator just *had* to make a comment on how terrible that was even though it had nothing to do with anything but a data connection. I think looking ahead to where we seem to be going, all these words will be eventually removed from dictionaries..smh
Yes, because hearing the word 'master' will cause women to be dominated. Notice how misandrist ideologies like feminism cause people to become stupid ?
Destroying the ‘patriarchy’ thats part of it and gay everything so its another one of those ‘its all about me and what I want. Russel off the leash!!! Vomit🤮🤮
What does it matter? When the pendulum swings back and these people are disappeared, who's going to care about any eggs that got cracked in the missing 1% of the population?
I warned people about Davies. I warned them for months prior to this season starting. Nobody listened. Davies was telegraphing his intentions for quite some time now. His earlier work was good but only, I suspect, because the BBC at that time still had the intention of being mostly compatible with mainstream audiences and therefore likely rode herd on Davies to keep him somewhat inline. Now that the BBC has gone full woke and decided to turn into an organization hell bent on making England a carbon copy of the nation depicted in "V For Vendetta", there is nothing to keep Davies in check. What we are now seeing is what that man was like all along.
It's so sad, I remember watching Doctor Who for the first time with Chris Eccleston and I was just blown away with how crazy and funny and British it was. It was our family night to watch new episodes together and it fell apart under Capaldi, even though some of those are pretty good. It's just dead to me now, like so many other things and people who have just turned to the dark side and lost who they were. It's hard to watch them devolve into an NPC.
Put an activist (ANY activist/cause) in charge of an IP and that IP, and its audience, will always be of secondary importance to them over what they are advocates for. Exploration of concepts/ideas are the foundation of good stories, but activism in entertainment is pure poison.
Funny thing is, Maestro* is an Italian word, and in Italian all nouns are gendered. Could’ve chosen a better name for their non-binary thingy I suppose… *and yes, maestro ending with O is masculine
As an Italian-American, I feel the same way about something like "Maestrx" that Latino folks feel about "Latinx." Please do not drag my ancestors' language into this nonsense 😂
No, in Italian there’s masculine and feminine (rule of thumb: -O/-I is masculine, -A/-E is feminine, singular/plural, although there’s exceptions of course.) And I agree, don’t put -X to make a neutral, we wouldn’t like it…and good luck pronouncing that anyway xD
Think how it could have been if Matt Berry or Richard Ayode had taken the role of the Dr, and the whole production/writing team had been whipped out of town then replaced with grown-ups with IQ's above a tomato.
"This seem to be created out of pure spite and hatred." ... I think that's what it comes down to, yes. That's the only explanation that makes any sense in this regard. I was such a big fan of Doctor Who a few years back (I think pre-covid?), but then they made the Master a woman, and that was the beginning of the end for me. I did not like Capaldi at all, and when I heard about Whittaker, I was done. Another pretty good show down the drain, because for some reason we aren't allowed to have male leads in shows any more.
So Russel T Daviess is a gay dude who grew up during a time when being gay wasn't as accepted. He likely had to repress his own gayness quite a bit for that reason. And now that he's in power over Doctor Who, he is using it as a method of OVER projecting his gayness onto the world in a way that makes him feel like he's "sticking it" to the strawman representation of the people he hates. Jfc, the state of this nonsense.
No, Russel used to write good stuff! As to him hiding his sexuality, that's purely speculation on your part, you can't "likely" him. It wasn't the 1950s. The shame is, he seems to hang around with a bunch of idiots and his brain has dried up like a prune. Now all that's left is buzzwords and lame fucking jokes about non fucking binaries! Theres no such thing, Russel! Nobody cares about anyone's "gender identity", but when it comes to which sport you compete in, we need to know what you actually are.
@@samaritan_sys No, it wasn't a good thing, that's a stupid thing to say. The shit Russel is coming out with has little to do with actual homosexuality, it's all about very recent political movements and the cultish nonsense they think they can talk us into. It actually came from "transgender" people, mostly. I won't go on about their agenda right now. Plenty of gay people, and particularly lesbians, have had enough. To the point that they formed the "LGB Alliance", an evil transphobic movement that keeps the corpse of Hitler in a freezer and goes round being big homosexual meanies to innocent transgenders, for no reason at all. But the point is, the LGB Alliance exist, this shit has nothing to do with gay people, so it would be nice if you'd quit that shit, please. A gracious person might even apologise.
I move that we start referring to everything after Capaldi as Dr Why, because it is fundamentally a different show and therefore does not deserve to carry the same title. They just misspelled it to piss us off. Alternate options include Dr What, Dr How and Dr Who Cares.
wait so they're actively making things gay just to piss guys off and yet they don't even make any of the popular fujoshi ships happen lol, truly no audience
Oh My God, this video just popped up in my feed last night and boy is it giving me flashbacks to my working at summer camp days. Starting in 2014, I worked at a super Progressive summer camp - founded by Quakers who were all about social justice. Those folks were already there, they did not need any extra help from the woke - Holy shit. Talk about the belly of the beast - I've been there. And it was very gay - so gay that the straight people complained to me they didn't feel comfortable inviting their spouses to visit. And I said, oh it's summer camp, let the gays have their gay culture here, (nearly) the entire rest of the culture is straight, we can give them this camp for 6 to 8 weeks. Who cares. Holy shit do I owe some people an apology. But how could I have possibly anticipated that the entire culture would turn in-your-face gay in 5 years. Seriously! I'm a pretty astute social observer but I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING. That first summer I half-joked to my family that I'd been spending a lot of time defending straight, white men. I wasn't really kidding. I noticed right away they were mean to the non-gay male staff ( you can't really be mean to the kids at summer camp, it's a bad market strategy and you get sent home PDQ). Straight guys that work at summer camps (at least the ones who worked directly with the kids are truly great human beings, as a rule. The maintenance staff were a entirely different story, Yikes). The male councilors are the last men on Earth one would label toxic. And they weren't weanies either, they had to lead kids in to the wilderness and literally climb mountains, AND bring all the kids back alive (and reasonably happy) to boot. Anyway, summer camp staff are the nicest people you'll ever want to meet, when they aren't infected with wokeness, which brings out the absolute worst in people. As far as my story goes, after I said a couple of times in social justice oriented chats, 'hey whatever happened to judging people by the content of their characters?' they mostly left me alone. They didn't know how to answer. And I was a trips driver my first summer ( I drove a 14-passenger van into the wilderness and dumped kids at a trail head) and sometimes these wokesters would be trapped for hours in a van with me en route to either picking them up or dropping them off, so they sidestepped the really woke stuff with me for the most part. They rightly categorized me as one of those 'nice to everyone', difficult to trap people, who wouldn't slip up and say anything that they could pounce on. I didn't have to worry or censor myself because I don't think like that. So working with woke wasn't a problem really. I did call a trans kid a 'trooper' once for doing something selfless. It was a totally heartfelt and spontaneous expression of appreciation. And wow, the way the heads of the woke councilors spun around on me, eyes ablaze, as they feverishly tried to work out how to make that a hate crime was awe-inspiring. I just stood there, it was clearly a compliment about this kid's character (that he/she/it/they desperately needed) and I was like take your best shot, I'm not gonna let you turn that encouragement into something ugly. As a matter of fact, I only ran afoul of the woke mob once in seven years and that was, and this is the really incredible part, for defending Disney. (I know) The complete moral disintegration of Disney was another thing I did not see coming. And what was the horrible thing I said that caused the fire and brimstone to rein down on my head? I pointed out that 'Colors of The Wind' was a nice song about respecting the Earth. The councilors had just lead the kids in singing the song. How was I supposed to know Disney was condemned to the bigot's gulag for eternity (and even that wasn't actually carved in stone, cause apparently they are back with the in-crowd). Well, this group of woke camp councilors were hell bent on ripping Disney a new one for not allowing a Native American consultant at the planning table for Pocahontas. Sorry, but as far as I'm concerned, to launch such a vicious attack one would have to craft a genuine argument concerning a concrete criticism, one that matters in the grand scheme of things. And now that we've seen how well allowing social justice consultants at the table has gone for Disney, the whole concept of the fine point on the narrowest of opinion at the planning table, will be finally jettisoned - Probably. Anyway, those who've been dog-piled on-line for voicing an opinion, have no idea what it's really like to face the woke mob in live action. One young councilor actually burst into tears, I kid you not (a couple of weeks later she apologized to me - the woke are good-hearted people, for the most part, they've just been badly mislead). Anyway, in the heat of the attack by the lynch mob, I might have blurted out something to the effect of 'Oh for God sake, Pocahontas lived 400 years ago, at what point do you just let somethings go!' Sorry, but I stand behind that as well. At some point stories just enter the realm of myth and legend and depiction is anyone's interpretation. And anyone that wants to argue this with will also have to face that the Native Americans had no written record of their history, so if they don't like the one that was written by other folks, oh well. It is what it is, and they basically have nothing but opinion and vague perception to argue from. Anyway, my original point was about the proliferation of gayness and the attack on straight white men in particular, and I just want to say to men out there, I have been trying to combat this insanity right along. And I pledge to keep trying. Although I think the tide is turning. Turns out you guys had a greater ally than I could ever be on your side all along - Mother Nature. And as the old ad slogan goes, 'it's not nice to fool Mother Nature.' I think those who are trying are about to get their comeuppance. P.S. Turns out the executive director of the camp -extremely Native American in both appearance and woke ideology, had a non-Native American looking daughter (strawberry blond with blue eyes) at the camp to witness my heresy against the woke. Oops. Not that I would have notice the ethic appearances of the crowd before I made that unforgivable comment about the Disney song. And I'm probably the only person there who even remember that incident a year later. The whole thing was performative hogwash - except to the victim, that is. I know, people have been hurt by woke mobs, but they should have just stood their ground and let the storm of idiocy blow over. And that's what straight, white men need to do now, just say 'whatever'. Know that the vast majority of those nasty women are straight, and just like little boys that throw rocks at little girls and call them names, they will regret it later in life when sudden they find a use for the not-so-little girls, who have pretty sound childhood memories. P.P.S. That executive director turned out to be a DEI hire who mismanaged the camp into a mess. At least that's what I've heard. P.P.P.S. It wasn't the wokeness that finally drove me out. It was the fascistic covid policy. And witnessing my bosses laughing and cheering an outbreak of covid at Christian camp that didn't require the vax. I stood in the doorway of an office mouth agape and watched their reaction. They never even looked up to see what response their display was eliciting. They didn't care, at all. And those were the people I got vaxed for, so I could hang with them? Never again.
And I just want to note, that in seven years of camp, I never once used pronouns; even though I had to wear mine on my name tag - at least the first year I was there. And how did I sidestep this minefield of an issue? I called people with odd gender identifiers by their proper names, or nicknames, when referring to them in the third person. I know, go figure. Who would have thought that might be the only gesture of respect required. One I'd willingly grant anyone. P.S. I flat out refused to use a plural identifiers for an individual. I once politely asked for an explanation of the logic behind the they/them and got my head bitten off in front of a group of counselors - which I found to be an unpersuasive argument. Actually, it was very persuasive as it persuaded me that I positively wasn't gonna do it. Maybe if they had been nicer, I might have been swayed, at least until I felt like a jackass saying it the first time. I was also the camp staffer who took kids to the emergency room when necessary for non-life threatening issues like stitches and such, and I'll be damned if I'm gonna tell an ER nurse that 'they need stitches' when referring to one kid. That's just idiotic. You only get to be one person, I don't care how broad your spirit claims to be in the 5-dimensional world. Here on Earth, we only count as one person each.
Another time I was riding with my gay boss, going somewhere, and she was going off on how there should be more internet censorship. So I just quietly offered, what if 'they' had been allowed to censor gay people when they were campaigning for their rights? And she was taken back, and she's all like that's a good point. And I'm like it's not a good point, IT'S THE WHOLE POINT!!!!!. I didn't actually say that, the point was already taken, so I left it where it was. And this woman has a masters and is considering pursuing a doctorate. A lot of good it will do her without a whiff of self-awareness and/or the most basic of common sense grounding. But, she did once stand up in front of a whole dining hall of people and point out to the 'people of color' (and one particularly militant young woman) who were championing some ridiculous policy, that they didn't actually have the authority to make camp policy. So I do grant her respect for that. She had the gravitas to end the debate/not-really-a-debate right there. P.S. The militant young woman of color was a perfectly nice person when you got her on her own, as I found out over the course of that summer (which is what's so great about summer camp in the first place) she was just an asshole when she got hold of a megaphone.
It's a fascinating business strategy. First they produce it out of spite, then they tell most of the audience not to watch it in an era where they compete with free content for said audience. 🤷♂️ oh well, more power to alternative creators.
I always thought as a child that Matt Smith killed Doctor Who, I grew up and ended up loving the 11th Doctor, then I thought it died with Capaldi, I grew up and appreciated his time, EVEN Jodie Whittaker, did her job and did what was required for the show to survive. Since returning, Russell T Davis has not only killed Doctor Who, he's spat on the corpse, reanimated it, threw a dress on it and called it "Brave". Doctor Who is dead, bury it
*"You know, the very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. They don't alters their views to fit the facts, they alter the facts to fit the views, which can be uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering"* -The Face of Evil: Part 4 1977
In the twenty-seven years of the classic series, the show had nine producers. In the nineteen years of the new series, it's only had three. That's a problem. Incidentally, or not so incidentally, the last of the original producers, John Nathan-Turner, was a homosexual, but neither talked about it nor felt that it had anything to do with the show. All he wanted was to tell fun, exciting sci-fi stories with perhaps a bit of food for thought.
That's because once gay people didn't make that fact their whole personality and therefore their creativity didn't rely on it either as it was irrelevant to a show being entertaining or not. The current lot are activists, not entertainers. Even the capable ones like Davies would rather play activist than be creative. I can't imagine what they hope to achieve but they're helping to destroy their own industriy and we are happy to look elsewhere for entertainment. At least Netflix has caught on and is offering some.
@@tkps I only watch broadcast T.V. (and only nostalgia stations at that), but I do have the DVD set of the Netflix _He-Man and the Masters of the Universe_ series (NOT the debacle by K. Smith, but the CGI series), and enjoy it immensely. Very refreshingly unwoke, and even though one of the OG characters, Ram Man, was replaced with a scrappy teenage girl, she actually turned out to be my favorite character, with probably the best story arc in the show.
There was a Star trek: Deep Space 9 episode on a similar theme too. An alien that sought out people with great reserves of creativity. She encouraged their creativity to sap the psychic energy created by people who were engaged in creative activities. So Russell isn't being highly original here.
I still watch old doctor who (70s). It couldn’t hide bad writing and acting behind special effects. It had to use great writing and acting to hide or overcome primitive effects.
I'll keep saying it; the first season of Queer as Folk featured a subplot that was the gay grooming and grape of an UNDERAGE BOY. That was RTD. And nobody seems to remember it. But he did that. This is all him
My older sister raved about this show. I finally attempted to watch just to get her off my back. I couldn't even get through that first episode. It was just so over the top with the seggs stuff. I guess it was all in the title, so what did I expect?
When someone says something like "Here for the representation ..." It doesn't say anything other than that the person believes people are only going to watch because we cast LGBT+BBQ folks in it and no other reason. That basically means they could care less about whether or not they have little things like, oh I dunno ... story? acting? The things most people want out of a television show or movie.
Every time Disney destroys another franchise they've purchased I just laugh now. I know it's just another smug, triumphant step in their march to their ultimate demise.

An excellent summary of the BBC in general.
I am a gay man, and I REALLY can't stress enough how much the vast majority of gays can't stand this cringe agenda pushing being done in our name by a minority of loud activist bullies.
Well this is the natural trajectory that all thinking people predicted. Brace yourself for full pedo- reps. Then the gig is completely up.
Nothing to do with gay/lesbian/trans. They have no mandate from gay people to do this vandalism.
It is all about destruction of cultural iconography. If it was an iconic male, make it a female. If it's a white female, race swap.
If it's a strong female from history, say she was a trans man.
It's great that you speak up against it. We need more people from your "community" to do so. I would find it completely disrespectful to be "represented" in all of these garbage productions. It's almost like they are saying you don't deserve better or gay people cannot have taste. We all deserve quality and nobody should be misused as a shield to protect crap.
It's because it's pandering, which is degrading. They act like you weren't seen before and that they're the reason for your existence. It's all ego on their part and most people in the LGBTQ+ groups are sick of this. In fact, I rarely find anyone who's trans or gay or lesbian that tolerates this. The only ones that do are the self-proclaimed Bisexuals, but the vast majority of them are just straight people who say "I'm attracted to the same gender" for attention and to feel included with their LGBTQ+ friends.
The tide is turning, and the Far Left is panicking.
You have cool friends. Mine aren't this cool. But most of my gay friends are lesbian moms.
No one wants cringe shit about themselves.
It's an interesting strategy to keep the show fresh. Previously they've replaced companions, they've replaced the Doctor. Now they're trying to replace the audience.

As someone related to one of the original Dr Who writers, (60-s till 86) I am stunned but not surprised by this BBC reach around nonsense. Dr Who should be scary, brave, mind blowing. It's doing all of this, but in the wrong ways. Dr Who was never about pandering
It's gone from Doctor Who to Doctor Who Cares.

Doctor Why Bother
Russell T. Davies. The man who resurrected Dr Who (in 2005) and the man who buried Dr Who ( in 2024).
Quite poetic really
He buried the Doctor with the assistance of the Disney megacorp.
Russel coming back gave me hope that the show could get back to some of that real quality it had in the mid-late 2000s and early 2010s. Instead, we were subjected to the worst the show has had to offer so far. I actually think I owe Chris Chibnall an apology for how abysmal this season already looks even compared to his dismal run.
Nearly 20 years. People change.
Well it died with chin chinballs and the last "doctor".
I don't think Davis is a changed man, I think the studio gave him free reign, and this is his true self.
The Ecclestone/Tennant era was some of the best written television ever made. So he's not a hack. It's a combination of free reign and the age we now live in where everything has to be political.
He's also older and more out of touch. To me it reads as that Steve Buscemi "hey kids" meme.
The queer kids aren't watching Dr. Who. They are watching Sex ed and Heartstopper and anime.
This has no on the ground buzz.
@@ValiantInstancehe has talent but in most cases Talent works best under some kind of boundary pressure. A pop culture show that you only appeal to a portion of your current audience won't be good. But it doesn't have the basic nuts and bolts structure problems that She Hulk did.
@BraveInstance 😆 "best written stuff" 😆
you need to get out more if you believe that
If you look at the writers of the Eccleston and Tennant era, a lot of the main writers were older gentleman with a large body of work, and pride in what they did. The best stuff on those eras were written by Moffat. I imagine RTD didn't feel comfortable asking these men to have The Doctor prance around in a skirt, go to a club, and talk about getting snowmanned. Maybe he did ask, and they told him to stuff it.
RTD is the sole writing credit for all episodes this season, save one, which lists one writer without any other writing credits, and another that wrote a couple shorts. This is why his revolutionary vision has been realised.
The problem is RTD thinking this is "his" Doctor Who. No it's not, Russel. You have a responsibility to more than your personal agenda. It's not "your" show. Your its custodian. Too many filmmakers today are like this, and their shows and movies suck because of it.
Unfortunately, these people were emboldened by the Star Wars Sequel debacle. TLJ was a hodge podge movie that made it an eldritch abomination. It literally went nowhere. It was the director throwing a fit and trashing a movie, only it got a ton of defenders. It greatly emboldened these absolute dumpster fire ideas. TLJ could have been a good movie, there were definitely elements, but those were trashed to be a giant middle finger to the fans that watched it.
Rian Johnson, the director, was quoted saying that he "didn't care that he was making a sequel movie, or that it was a Star Wars movie." He wanted to make "his movie" and a bunch of morons online defended it. This is the result.
RTD had this attitude back in 2005, and while the LGBT content wasn't as prominent, it was more drama than sci-fi because he wanted "his" Doctor Who, and didn't want most of the back story or to work with any previous storywriters or creators. The BBC had no faith in his success but let him have his way because of his success with shows like Queer as Folk. Basically, he's been emboldened by his own success and no longer has any internal or external filters stopping his shittier ideas.

The Tennant era averaged 8-10 million viewers per episode, the Gatwa era is averaging 2 million. This means that 75-80% of the audience has left and it's not hard to see why.
The character wouldn't be bad if he didn't act like everybody else in the show - and most of the audience - was gay. Flirting every man he meets would almost guarantee a visit to the ER, not a love affair - in this universe, anyway. If a hereto man does the same, that's considered offensive for women.

My Doctor was Ten as well. And as far as I'm concerned, it ended with End of Time, one last glorious exit from the Time Lord. And that's enough for me.

Only cause my own father loved to share the things he enjoyed growing up… I can’t imagine having a franchise so backwards and mismanaged, it’d be harmful to show the youth. But it’s literally now come to that.
Hey, don't throw it all away. Let the grandkids watch the older stuff and do what I did with Indiana Jones and deny the existence of anything after Last Crusade. Which for DW I'd say ends with Tennant. You *could* go all the way up to Capaldi, but Smith's run gets confusing and Capaldi's companions are obnoxious.

This is Davies from 20 years ago. He's now allowed to do whatever he wants. Eccleston hinted at the real reason why he only did one season, and Davies was a big part of that.
I hated the rebooted first season because it felt more like a drama than sci-fi, and you could definitely tell it was written by the same guy who created Queer as Folk. I also later found out that he submitted a script for Doctor Who back in 1987 which got rejected, and that didn't surprise me either.
which is a crime because I love Eccleston as an actor! would have been great to see him a in Dr Who helmed by humans with functioning brains.
I read in a different comment section that the actor playing the maestro has been banned from almost every gay club in London for going in, getting completely fall down drunk and compelling the patrons to sexually assault the people working there. If true, that doesn’t just make him a terrible actor, but a terrible person irl

What needs to happen is something like what Christopher Eccleston said, fire RTD and everyone and his crew, and hire people who are fans of Dr. Who. Then in the first episode they write, have Peter Capaldi's Doctor wake up on the floor of the TARDIS and say to his companion, "My God, what a nightmare I just had!"
Hiring fans won't work cause they'll just do what Rings of Power did - trot out more woke "oh, definitely lifelong fans" to give it false legitimacy
Christopher Eccleston hates you lot actually. Listen to literally anything else he says.
I knew my fave of the New Whos was based. 👍
I got to see now what Ecclestone Said....
I thought Eccleston was angry at the BBC 1st for wanting him to do something he didn't want to do, and the BBC higher ups, angry about it went to Davis & told him to replace him after the 1st season concludes. Than Eccleston got angry w/ Davis after for not sticking up for him & agreeing just to replace him like it was no big deal!
When I first saw the Maestro I thought, “Bette Midler’s character from Hocus Pocus is in Doctor Who?”
I remember correctly I seen an interview with Davies about the newest season and he said something to the effect of 'no one would dare to tell him no'. Honestly, you can tell that nobody told him no.

As far as I’m concerned, Dr Who ended when Peter Capaldi left
I vowed back then that I would stop watching DW when Capaldi left and boy am I glad I did!
For me, the "Heaven Sent" episode was the peak. It proved that the Doctor is capable of being right almost endless times in a row, he never gives up and never quit (what he could have, giving up his friend). It explains why everybody fears him.
I have gay friends who have been Doctor Who fans for decades, and they are so utterly appalled by how bad this is that they were publicly asking on social media trying to find someone who could give them reasons to continue watching.

Have you considered that the *goal* is sinking the ship, and the ship in question is western civilization?
And that theyve been successful so far because everyone is either too niave or too cowardly to do anything about it.
I agree with every single criticism, but as a musician, I actually like the idea/concept of the character Maestro, it's a cool idea and could have been a great villain: a god-like primordial being who controls sound and music, and feeds off the cathartic emotions music brings...if only it had been done seriously in a classic Dr Who style, and not in this twisted woke abomination way.
And it would be really great if writers and show runners would stick to putting out decent stories. But it appears that ship has sailed.
I don't think it would have worked. First of all, pseudo-godlike characters tend to ruin sci-fi as their ability to redefine the laws of reality runs contrary to sci-fi's tendency to have boundaries on how things operate (think Q from Star Trek TNG). Secondly, the most obvious parallel in Doctor Who's history would be the Celestial Toymaker, an eternal being who can manipulate reality and can't be killed but can only have his domain destroyed by beating his games - which he goes out of his way to make sure are almost impossible to win. He appeared once in the Hartnell era and never again. The only other godlike entities I can recall were the Black and White Guardians - two all powerful entities (one evil one good) in binary opposition to each other introduced during the Key of Time arc, and I think used in one other storyline under one of the later Doctors. Trying to justify why an all-powerful being requires someone else to go on a maguffin hunt or how a different all-powerful being can be defeated and easily evaded makes little sense in universe and doesn't really fit well with the rest of the series.
@@TheBlackSeraph You make some very "sound" arguments, and in general I agree with you about the challenges "god-like" being pose when placed directly in the conflict of the narrative; my main intention of my comment was that I liked the concept of a villian using music and sound as a villain, the villain doesn't have to be god for it to work in the narrative structure of the Dr. Who universe, and thought it's unfortunate that the concept in general being disregarded given the other "issues" going on with Dr. Who currently. On this subject, one of my main objections is the who "Timeless Child" retconning of Dr Who and changing him from the renegade Time Lord we all know and love, to something else entirely, erasing Hartnell as the 1st Dr and turning him into a genderless deity, which among so many other problems this creates, now the villains have to be god like to play on the same level. Dr Who died with Capaldi and I let him go too...

Before I even read a single word on the thumbnail I thought, "Why is Drinker covering that old-ass Halloween movie?" lol

"Dr. Who was not made for straight white men."
Correct, when I was a kid and watched it in the 60's/70's it was known as a KIDS show not a show for men... straight, white or otherwise.
ANOTHER show made for a modern audience that simply doesnt exist. Or if it does exist, it certainly isnt big enough to justify a prime time slot on BBC1 on a Saturday night! Never mind completely ruining a beloved 50, 60 year old franchise as well!
No Nerdorotic one of the worst things they ever did was promote the Doctor from a traveller to a demi-god. Utterly stupid.
The doctor went from a wandering traveler who got caught up in events. To an ultra demi god who couldn't lose any battle. Yes, the 7th doctor ran around with plots and plans. But that was his personality as his regeneration settled in.
@@bri55118 This ^^^^^^^^^^^^
Finally someone said it! I liked him better as a traveler who happened upon things in the OG era.
That is exactly the problem, the Doctor became less and less mysterious, and more just a time and space celebrity
@@stuartbrown8309 Well it is another example of modern feminism and gay influencing culture. The Doctor had to be the bestest evah and the centre of attention. You over power a character and you leave writers no room. And we see it everywhere. For example, imagine if JJ Abrhams' Star Trek films were about Lieutenant Kirk (and he had kept to canon.) How much better would the films have been? Yet he goes from conscript to captain in a few reels completely destroying the plot........
Having had the unfortunate chance to meet that thing in person (ex wife was a big fan and it came to a local comic con) I can confirm, it is as narcissistic and insane in person as it is on tv. Freak is an apt description
100% agree with everything you say in this video - Maestro is the worst character I've ever seen and the acting is absolutely atrocious.
Doctor who 1963-2017: a show for everyone.
Doctor who 2018-presant: a show for everyone, that no one wants.
I still claim doctor who died during the last season of Matt Smith, but I think I'm in the minority, and that's ok.
@@calebharch7229 - Even some of the Smith seasons had cringeworthy series arcs, so my take is that this is a case of slow decline, not some magic point of falling off a cliff. The first few seasons were much more fun than what it eventually became, even before all the hot-button stuff. Without watching it, I can't judge how terrible the new stuff is, but I've seen enough of the last decade plus to know I'm not interested in watching it.
Damn, they gave Kathy Griffin a fresh start.
Nice. Sounds like something Giraldo would have said on a roast.

OMFG now I can't unsee that !! hahahaha

In Tourchwood,captain jack was gay,possibly bi,everyone knew,but no one give a shit because the story telling was awesome.
Yep. This is a great example. Make your story compelling and your acting and characters good, and no one will care what your characters are.
Capt Jack was also overtly sexual but it was done in a way that was fun to watch not pornographic. Everyone I know loved him. The character was so much fun and the actor was charismatic. This new Dr just doesn't have the same ability.
That's because neither the show TORCHWOOD nor the characters in it were created intentionally out of spite. Shad and Drinker NAILED the motivation behind what we're all now being subjected to.
Jack was pan, and people found it hilarious because it was never treated like it was weird or taboo, just a part of who he was and his incorrigible flirting was just played for laughs.
remember we had jack rose and mickey 3 "diverse" ppl by today standards and they were all amazing because they focused on writing first
In a universe where there are infinite possibilities for alien characters, this is what they come up with
The first show of this new run very clearly explained that we as men are worthless. I have listened and wont watch Doctor who anymore... simple
Reminds me of how the pride flag used to be just a rainbow that meant "everyone is included" and we all agreed with that pretty much, but now it's an ugly design nightmare with extra triangles and stripes as to mean "here's all the groups that we think should be included".
Doctor Who was a show that was very inclusive and everyone could enjoy, but now it's trying to be more inclusive they made it a show that no one wants.
Inclusion is a scam. In reality it's a takeover.
And even more important to them is telling us who they're excluding
The pride flag is the biggest load of BS. It means nothing, because it is trying to mean everything. And Pride month is the biggest and easiest load of corporate virtue signalling. Were these companies flying the Pride flag years ago when it would actually have made a difference and meant something? Course not. Will they fly the flag in a country now where it is dangerous to be gay? Nope.
Now it's trying to be more inclusive by excluding its original audience.
They have turn it into a religion, also those shitty triangles are more of an anglo (and probably french) thing, like adding BLM colors? Really? Those idiots think USA and UK are the entire world. And trans are more importan than lgb and the others?
Guys, BBC has absolutely no control over this.
The show used to be made in-house at BBC Wales Llandaff studios and Roath Lock studios up until Matt Smith's last season.
Once Matt Smith was gone, the entire show was outsourced to Bad Wolf Studios with post production done at Gorilla TV.
Not a single person who has worked on the first 8 seasons is working on it now. Those people used to be on permanent staff contracts and were difficult to fire. Now, the show is made almost exclusively by freelancers.
The reason no one speaks out about it is because people on insecure freelance contracts know they can be fired at a drop of a hat if they say anything.
Not an excuse at all

I just hope reality gets full custody of the kids.
There is a saying in my language that goes something like "I will freeze my ears off to spite my mother". When you talked about how the show's runners are pushing all this obviously trash content on purpose, it immediately made me think of this phrase. They drive their viewers away for "justice" but in the end the bullies and the idiots will be the ones who end up worse off. Bonus that the phrase is often applied to foolish stubborn children, with whom the show's writers and actors share the mental maturity.
The hints were there the whole time. If you ever wondered where Davies went, it’s because no normal person saw anything he wrote between 2010 and now. Gay show, show about gays, gay political drama show, political show about how anyone not gay is a Nazi, remake of gay show, aids show featuring exclusively gay people.
For what it’s worth he also did a show about some British soap star I’ve never heard of. I assume 75% of the cast is gay though.
Translation of RTD today: "I'm sad and bitter because my husband died and I'm scared of death too so I'm lashing out and making my problems everyone else's problems."
The world is not your therapist, Russell.
Frankly, I don't understand what Russell's 'gotcha' moment is supposed to be here. You're injecting garbage into a show that damn near nobody is watching, but still wanna act like there's a demand for it somewhere. In a few months time, weeks even. Nobody is going to remember this trash heap. Just more rubbish to add to the pile.
RTD and company don't get it and probably never will. This shit doesn't sell. Plain and simple.
In an age where people have multiple outlets for free content and alternatives. Nobody, especially now, has to tough out the crap RTD pushes out.
@@frug5629 He's injecting garbage into a show ...
Remember that scene when they introduced Capaldi and had all the Dr’s attacking. That was a great story. That was a great ending and even had a scene of Matt Smith meeting an old Tom Baker in a museum. That was story telling. That was about universal story about trying to set things right that you screwed up and realizing sometimes the best you can do is live with the consequences.
the BBC has turned Dr Who into The Rocky Horror Picture Show...
At least Rocky Horror had good music and was entertaining (strangely)
It does even come close to Rocky.

That's a huge insult to The Rocky Horror Picture Show...
Not even vaguely

What is Budget Bette Midler from _Hocus Pocus_ doing in Doctor Who?
"They are replacing the Master with the Maestro."
Which is fantastic, since "maestro" in English is a loan word from Italian where it just means "master".
I thought it meant the Master identified as Italian...
What you are witnessing with these people is nothing more than the petty vindictiveness and hatred of normal, pedestrian society that has always been there. The only difference is that "they" have been given free reign to be who and what they are for nearly 60 years and are being rejected for it, thus generating even more (dare I say ) self hatred. The shyt gets deep when you dig into the how and why of all of that kind of psychological instability. Excellent review guys.
Once you seize power and become the establishment, you're no longer the rebel.
I don't think anyone here would know Prince of Queens, but he was an anti-woke gay RUclipsr before he passed away suddenly, and he would sometimes talk about how miserable LGBT "culture" and dating is, especially for the men. There's no love among them, just hopeless lust and it forces them to need perfect bodies or else they get nothing at all. Davies most certainly knows what it's like, and he tries to cover it up with that "queer lightness" or whatever he said about Tennant's original run.
I really enjoyed Tennant as the Doctor. He is someone to aspire to and be awe struck by, which makes him attractive to watch on either side of the isle. It's the confidence, charisma and zeal Tennant brought to the character that anyone can enjoy watching. These attributes are completely lost on the latest showrunner who has worked with him.
To be fair, it looks like Tennant fully endorses the lunacy (even has one of his kids on the rainbow)and has villified all the "bigots" who dont mindlessly support trans issues. The question applies to him as well: has he changed over the years or is this his true colors?
Well said all. The best descriptions of why the show I grew up with, from the first episode watched by my mum while pregnant with me to the brilliance of Matt Smith channeling Troughton & the subtle of Capaldi channeling Hartnell & decency. I weep. I’ve said our hearts were always bigger on the inside for this much-loved but now they’re broken 💔
Jinx Monsoon was a fan-favourite contestant on Ru-Paul's Drag Race.

They need to indoctrinate your children. If you don't show this to them, they'll find a way to air it in schools.
It's absolutely insane that the BBC gave RTD and co a blank cheque to save Doctor Who and he's gone and taken their money, bought a ton rainbow petrol, doused the franchise with it and set it on fire.
I mean, the BBC surely saw this coming, so... I can only conclude that this is their intention.
The BBC didn't do anything like that.
They already gave a blank cheque to Chibnell to do the "Timeless Child". He already set the franchise on fire at this point RTD is just faning the flames.
They keep telling people to stop watching and that you know where the door is. So stop watching. When companies bleed enough money they either figure it out or they go away.
I watched "Dr.Who the Gay Musical" with the immortal words of Roy from the IT Crowd ringing in my ears "Nah.. it's too gay for me - i thought i could handle it but i can't" LOL To be honest though I was out after the first season of Jodi's doctor, but i foolishly watched the David Tennant special for old times same and got a gut punch when the Doctor was ridiculed for being a "man" but i persevered and watch the first two episodes of Ncuti's doctor thinking this could be a breath of fresh air and i'll give it one last go...... Oh..... that fell flat on it's face. This show is no longer made for me, that is absolutely something i agree with Russell on so i'll just hang around and see if someone in the future brings back the actual doctor, you know; the Timelord; that wild eyed genius with childlike fascination in the universe and everyone in it; that doesn't care about people's race, colour or creed - that one. I'll wait until that one's back and the current bigoted toxic heterophobe that is the current doctor has gone.
It absolutely is who Russel T. Davies was 20 years ago. He was prevented from showing it off, which is what he means when he says he had to hide what he was. He always wanted this filth and degeneracy in front of you and your kids, but only now does he have the power to do it.
Yeah just watch his first run again and you'll see it then.
He said the exact same things 20 years ago, but slightly less bitchy.
You're absolutely right. Look at the Captain Jack character. He was disgusting. We shouldn't have put up with it.
If things were better during a time when certain people had to "hide who they were," begs the question if maybe they should go back to hiding it?
what filth and degeneracy?
I bet a name like "The Master" was deemed too offensive. In programming, terms like "master" as designations are being banned.
Don't forget slave!
Yup..I saw a video recently on old computer interfaces (Yeah, I'm great at parties) and the agreed terms for the basic setup has always been master/slave. The content creator just *had* to make a comment on how terrible that was even though it had nothing to do with anything but a data connection. I think looking ahead to where we seem to be going, all these words will be eventually removed from dictionaries..smh
Yes, because hearing the word 'master' will cause women to be dominated. Notice how misandrist ideologies like feminism cause people to become stupid ?
Destroying the ‘patriarchy’ thats part of it and gay everything so its another one of those ‘its all about me and what I want. Russel off the leash!!! Vomit🤮🤮
Well you know... He is a bad guy. And he chose the name explicitly because he intends to enslave the universe.
The biggest problem is, is that not all gays agree with this woke bs, it's a small group that seems to have a big voice
Yip
💯
How do you know that?
What does it matter? When the pendulum swings back and these people are disappeared, who's going to care about any eggs that got cracked in the missing 1% of the population?
Reality is pretty much the exact opposite of what that It said in the quote.
I warned people about Davies. I warned them for months prior to this season starting. Nobody listened. Davies was telegraphing his intentions for quite some time now. His earlier work was good but only, I suspect, because the BBC at that time still had the intention of being mostly compatible with mainstream audiences and therefore likely rode herd on Davies to keep him somewhat inline. Now that the BBC has gone full woke and decided to turn into an organization hell bent on making England a carbon copy of the nation depicted in "V For Vendetta", there is nothing to keep Davies in check. What we are now seeing is what that man was like all along.
It's so sad, I remember watching Doctor Who for the first time with Chris Eccleston and I was just blown away with how crazy and funny and British it was. It was our family night to watch new episodes together and it fell apart under Capaldi, even though some of those are pretty good. It's just dead to me now, like so many other things and people who have just turned to the dark side and lost who they were. It's hard to watch them devolve into an NPC.
Put an activist (ANY activist/cause) in charge of an IP and that IP, and its audience, will always be of secondary importance to them over what they are advocates for. Exploration of concepts/ideas are the foundation of good stories, but activism in entertainment is pure poison.
All I can see is Hocus Pokus.
"Oh, booooOOOOOooook!"
Funny thing is, Maestro* is an Italian word, and in Italian all nouns are gendered. Could’ve chosen a better name for their non-binary thingy I suppose…
*and yes, maestro ending with O is masculine
Is there a “them” version of maestro? They could at least try to be consistent
@@richtes Maestrx?
The main part of being woke is being ignorant
As an Italian-American, I feel the same way about something like "Maestrx" that Latino folks feel about "Latinx." Please do not drag my ancestors' language into this nonsense 😂
No, in Italian there’s masculine and feminine (rule of thumb: -O/-I is masculine, -A/-E is feminine, singular/plural, although there’s exceptions of course.) And I agree, don’t put -X to make a neutral, we wouldn’t like it…and good luck pronouncing that anyway xD
Think how it could have been if Matt Berry or Richard Ayode had taken the role of the Dr, and the whole production/writing team had been whipped out of town then replaced with grown-ups with IQ's above a tomato.
"This seem to be created out of pure spite and hatred." ... I think that's what it comes down to, yes. That's the only explanation that makes any sense in this regard. I was such a big fan of Doctor Who a few years back (I think pre-covid?), but then they made the Master a woman, and that was the beginning of the end for me. I did not like Capaldi at all, and when I heard about Whittaker, I was done. Another pretty good show down the drain, because for some reason we aren't allowed to have male leads in shows any more.
Spite. Right on the nose.
Davies was likely always this way, only now the BBC has taken his ball gag out.
👍🏾
So Russel T Daviess is a gay dude who grew up during a time when being gay wasn't as accepted. He likely had to repress his own gayness quite a bit for that reason. And now that he's in power over Doctor Who, he is using it as a method of OVER projecting his gayness onto the world in a way that makes him feel like he's "sticking it" to the strawman representation of the people he hates.
Jfc, the state of this nonsense.
RTD and people like him just go to prove why maybe suppressing those things was a GOOD thing for society to do.
Unintentionally pushing the pendulum even higher for it to swing back and crush all the people growing up like he did.
No, Russel used to write good stuff! As to him hiding his sexuality, that's purely speculation on your part, you can't "likely" him. It wasn't the 1950s. The shame is, he seems to hang around with a bunch of idiots and his brain has dried up like a prune. Now all that's left is buzzwords and lame fucking jokes about non fucking binaries! Theres no such thing, Russel! Nobody cares about anyone's "gender identity", but when it comes to which sport you compete in, we need to know what you actually are.
@@samaritan_sys No, it wasn't a good thing, that's a stupid thing to say. The shit Russel is coming out with has little to do with actual homosexuality, it's all about very recent political movements and the cultish nonsense they think they can talk us into. It actually came from "transgender" people, mostly. I won't go on about their agenda right now. Plenty of gay people, and particularly lesbians, have had enough.
To the point that they formed the "LGB Alliance", an evil transphobic movement that keeps the corpse of Hitler in a freezer and goes round being big homosexual meanies to innocent transgenders, for no reason at all.
But the point is, the LGB Alliance exist, this shit has nothing to do with gay people, so it would be nice if you'd quit that shit, please. A gracious person might even apologise.
I move that we start referring to everything after Capaldi as Dr Why, because it is fundamentally a different show and therefore does not deserve to carry the same title. They just misspelled it to piss us off. Alternate options include Dr What, Dr How and Dr Who Cares.
Remember how all us bigots hated that guy Captain Jack, because he was bi... oh wait we loved him.
Sheer number of black guys in movies, music, writing and games that people loved is insane.
they are creative locusts consuming crops they did not plant
Locusts "creative" is a bit of a reach. They're more like parasites.
3:05 to add on to that, the BBC defended known offender Jimmy Saville until after his death. They knew what he did.
And John Nathan Turner who was literally r*ping children with his boyfriend in his office when he was producing Dr. Who.
This guy looks like if Cruella Deville and Carrot Top had a kid
wait so they're actively making things gay just to piss guys off and yet they don't even make any of the popular fujoshi ships happen lol, truly no audience
Oh My God, this video just popped up in my feed last night and boy is it giving me flashbacks to my working at summer camp days. Starting in 2014, I worked at a super Progressive summer camp - founded by Quakers who were all about social justice. Those folks were already there, they did not need any extra help from the woke - Holy shit. Talk about the belly of the beast - I've been there. And it was very gay - so gay that the straight people complained to me they didn't feel comfortable inviting their spouses to visit. And I said, oh it's summer camp, let the gays have their gay culture here, (nearly) the entire rest of the culture is straight, we can give them this camp for 6 to 8 weeks. Who cares. Holy shit do I owe some people an apology. But how could I have possibly anticipated that the entire culture would turn in-your-face gay in 5 years. Seriously! I'm a pretty astute social observer but I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING. That first summer I half-joked to my family that I'd been spending a lot of time defending straight, white men. I wasn't really kidding. I noticed right away they were mean to the non-gay male staff ( you can't really be mean to the kids at summer camp, it's a bad market strategy and you get sent home PDQ). Straight guys that work at summer camps (at least the ones who worked directly with the kids are truly great human beings, as a rule. The maintenance staff were a entirely different story, Yikes). The male councilors are the last men on Earth one would label toxic. And they weren't weanies either, they had to lead kids in to the wilderness and literally climb mountains, AND bring all the kids back alive (and reasonably happy) to boot. Anyway, summer camp staff are the nicest people you'll ever want to meet, when they aren't infected with wokeness, which brings out the absolute worst in people. As far as my story goes, after I said a couple of times in social justice oriented chats, 'hey whatever happened to judging people by the content of their characters?' they mostly left me alone. They didn't know how to answer. And I was a trips driver my first summer ( I drove a 14-passenger van into the wilderness and dumped kids at a trail head) and sometimes these wokesters would be trapped for hours in a van with me en route to either picking them up or dropping them off, so they sidestepped the really woke stuff with me for the most part. They rightly categorized me as one of those 'nice to everyone', difficult to trap people, who wouldn't slip up and say anything that they could pounce on. I didn't have to worry or censor myself because I don't think like that. So working with woke wasn't a problem really. I did call a trans kid a 'trooper' once for doing something selfless. It was a totally heartfelt and spontaneous expression of appreciation. And wow, the way the heads of the woke councilors spun around on me, eyes ablaze, as they feverishly tried to work out how to make that a hate crime was awe-inspiring. I just stood there, it was clearly a compliment about this kid's character (that he/she/it/they desperately needed) and I was like take your best shot, I'm not gonna let you turn that encouragement into something ugly. As a matter of fact, I only ran afoul of the woke mob once in seven years and that was, and this is the really incredible part, for defending Disney. (I know) The complete moral disintegration of Disney was another thing I did not see coming. And what was the horrible thing I said that caused the fire and brimstone to rein down on my head? I pointed out that 'Colors of The Wind' was a nice song about respecting the Earth. The councilors had just lead the kids in singing the song. How was I supposed to know Disney was condemned to the bigot's gulag for eternity (and even that wasn't actually carved in stone, cause apparently they are back with the in-crowd). Well, this group of woke camp councilors were hell bent on ripping Disney a new one for not allowing a Native American consultant at the planning table for Pocahontas. Sorry, but as far as I'm concerned, to launch such a vicious attack one would have to craft a genuine argument concerning a concrete criticism, one that matters in the grand scheme of things. And now that we've seen how well allowing social justice consultants at the table has gone for Disney, the whole concept of the fine point on the narrowest of opinion at the planning table, will be finally jettisoned - Probably. Anyway, those who've been dog-piled on-line for voicing an opinion, have no idea what it's really like to face the woke mob in live action. One young councilor actually burst into tears, I kid you not (a couple of weeks later she apologized to me - the woke are good-hearted people, for the most part, they've just been badly mislead). Anyway, in the heat of the attack by the lynch mob, I might have blurted out something to the effect of 'Oh for God sake, Pocahontas lived 400 years ago, at what point do you just let somethings go!' Sorry, but I stand behind that as well. At some point stories just enter the realm of myth and legend and depiction is anyone's interpretation. And anyone that wants to argue this with will also have to face that the Native Americans had no written record of their history, so if they don't like the one that was written by other folks, oh well. It is what it is, and they basically have nothing but opinion and vague perception to argue from. Anyway, my original point was about the proliferation of gayness and the attack on straight white men in particular, and I just want to say to men out there, I have been trying to combat this insanity right along. And I pledge to keep trying. Although I think the tide is turning. Turns out you guys had a greater ally than I could ever be on your side all along - Mother Nature. And as the old ad slogan goes, 'it's not nice to fool Mother Nature.' I think those who are trying are about to get their comeuppance. P.S. Turns out the executive director of the camp -extremely Native American in both appearance and woke ideology, had a non-Native American looking daughter (strawberry blond with blue eyes) at the camp to witness my heresy against the woke. Oops. Not that I would have notice the ethic appearances of the crowd before I made that unforgivable comment about the Disney song. And I'm probably the only person there who even remember that incident a year later. The whole thing was performative hogwash - except to the victim, that is. I know, people have been hurt by woke mobs, but they should have just stood their ground and let the storm of idiocy blow over. And that's what straight, white men need to do now, just say 'whatever'. Know that the vast majority of those nasty women are straight, and just like little boys that throw rocks at little girls and call them names, they will regret it later in life when sudden they find a use for the not-so-little girls, who have pretty sound childhood memories. P.P.S. That executive director turned out to be a DEI hire who mismanaged the camp into a mess. At least that's what I've heard. P.P.P.S. It wasn't the wokeness that finally drove me out. It was the fascistic covid policy. And witnessing my bosses laughing and cheering an outbreak of covid at Christian camp that didn't require the vax. I stood in the doorway of an office mouth agape and watched their reaction. They never even looked up to see what response their display was eliciting. They didn't care, at all. And those were the people I got vaxed for, so I could hang with them? Never again.
And I just want to note, that in seven years of camp, I never once used pronouns; even though I had to wear mine on my name tag - at least the first year I was there. And how did I sidestep this minefield of an issue? I called people with odd gender identifiers by their proper names, or nicknames, when referring to them in the third person. I know, go figure. Who would have thought that might be the only gesture of respect required. One I'd willingly grant anyone. P.S. I flat out refused to use a plural identifiers for an individual. I once politely asked for an explanation of the logic behind the they/them and got my head bitten off in front of a group of counselors - which I found to be an unpersuasive argument. Actually, it was very persuasive as it persuaded me that I positively wasn't gonna do it. Maybe if they had been nicer, I might have been swayed, at least until I felt like a jackass saying it the first time. I was also the camp staffer who took kids to the emergency room when necessary for non-life threatening issues like stitches and such, and I'll be damned if I'm gonna tell an ER nurse that 'they need stitches' when referring to one kid. That's just idiotic. You only get to be one person, I don't care how broad your spirit claims to be in the 5-dimensional world. Here on Earth, we only count as one person each.
Another time I was riding with my gay boss, going somewhere, and she was going off on how there should be more internet censorship. So I just quietly offered, what if 'they' had been allowed to censor gay people when they were campaigning for their rights? And she was taken back, and she's all like that's a good point. And I'm like it's not a good point, IT'S THE WHOLE POINT!!!!!. I didn't actually say that, the point was already taken, so I left it where it was. And this woman has a masters and is considering pursuing a doctorate. A lot of good it will do her without a whiff of self-awareness and/or the most basic of common sense grounding. But, she did once stand up in front of a whole dining hall of people and point out to the 'people of color' (and one particularly militant young woman) who were championing some ridiculous policy, that they didn't actually have the authority to make camp policy. So I do grant her respect for that. She had the gravitas to end the debate/not-really-a-debate right there. P.S. The militant young woman of color was a perfectly nice person when you got her on her own, as I found out over the course of that summer (which is what's so great about summer camp in the first place) she was just an asshole when she got hold of a megaphone.
It's a fascinating business strategy. First they produce it out of spite, then they tell most of the audience not to watch it in an era where they compete with free content for said audience. 🤷♂️ oh well, more power to alternative creators.
They don’t care its typical of these activists and what happens when the collar and leash is removed. Vomit nothing else 🤮🤮
I used to think, "The Timeless Children was the biggest insult to Dr. Who, until I saw this monstrosity. 🎉
I feel sad having to google that episode to remember it. After the google search results I realized it was way after I stopped watching.
Russel is also standing by Timeless Children. My god it's dumb.
@@KetchupT100you mean stunning and brave?
@@newtpondskipper it is stunning, I'll give you that.
The only maestro I recognise is the one from Seinfeld.
Hi, Bob!
I always thought as a child that Matt Smith killed Doctor Who, I grew up and ended up loving the 11th Doctor, then I thought it died with Capaldi, I grew up and appreciated his time, EVEN Jodie Whittaker, did her job and did what was required for the show to survive. Since returning, Russell T Davis has not only killed Doctor Who, he's spat on the corpse, reanimated it, threw a dress on it and called it "Brave". Doctor Who is dead, bury it
Basically...run.
Best line ever.
Disparu put out a video where the show runner, Russel T. Whatever, says literally, “You don’t have the power to tell me ‘No’”.
Honestly, that was the best summing up of the whole RTD situation I have seen! 👍
Little did he know that we could simply change the channel, thus we always had the power to say, “No.’
@@scionofdorn9101 and a lot of people have. The next headlines will read, “Why Are Dr. WHO’s Ratings Down?”
The Master from Temu
I'll give them credit for this much, they Inspired me to go back and watch some old doctor who
I remember when the worst episode of Nu Who was Love and Monsters. Ah, those were good days.
You ever notice how gate keeping is bad until they do it
Mrs Slocombe has let herself go.
😂😂😂
don't insult Mrs. Slocombe like that ever again.
I believe people will look back at this period in time and have a good laugh at how obsessed some became on their sexuality.
"Trans-people can play villains too!"
...PLAY the villain?

-The Face of Evil: Part 4 1977
In the twenty-seven years of the classic series, the show had nine producers. In the nineteen years of the new series, it's only had three. That's a problem.
Incidentally, or not so incidentally, the last of the original producers, John Nathan-Turner, was a homosexual, but neither talked about it nor felt that it had anything to do with the show. All he wanted was to tell fun, exciting sci-fi stories with perhaps a bit of food for thought.
That's because once gay people didn't make that fact their whole personality and therefore their creativity didn't rely on it either as it was irrelevant to a show being entertaining or not. The current lot are activists, not entertainers. Even the capable ones like Davies would rather play activist than be creative. I can't imagine what they hope to achieve but they're helping to destroy their own industriy and we are happy to look elsewhere for entertainment. At least Netflix has caught on and is offering some.
@@tkps I only watch broadcast T.V. (and only nostalgia stations at that), but I do have the DVD set of the Netflix _He-Man and the Masters of the Universe_ series (NOT the debacle by K. Smith, but the CGI series), and enjoy it immensely. Very refreshingly unwoke, and even though one of the OG characters, Ram Man, was replaced with a scrappy teenage girl, she actually turned out to be my favorite character, with probably the best story arc in the show.
There was a Star trek: Deep Space 9 episode on a similar theme too. An alien that sought out people with great reserves of creativity. She encouraged their creativity to sap the psychic energy created by people who were engaged in creative activities. So Russell isn't being highly original here.
And Star Trek is where now?
@@jhammer4919 Are you actually asking or being rhetorical?
@@kdog3908 😉 rhetorical of course we all know where it sits now 🚽
I still watch old doctor who (70s). It couldn’t hide bad writing and acting behind special effects. It had to use great writing and acting to hide or overcome primitive effects.
I'll keep saying it; the first season of Queer as Folk featured a subplot that was the gay grooming and grape of an UNDERAGE BOY. That was RTD. And nobody seems to remember it. But he did that.
This is all him
Oh I remember.
And this was presented as a bad thing, right?
Right?
@Lemon_Inspector the man who made up the word gender only did so to get away with molesting children
My older sister raved about this show. I finally attempted to watch just to get her off my back. I couldn't even get through that first episode. It was just so over the top with the seggs stuff. I guess it was all in the title, so what did I expect?
When someone says something like "Here for the representation ..." It doesn't say anything other than that the person believes people are only going to watch because we cast LGBT+BBQ folks in it and no other reason. That basically means they could care less about whether or not they have little things like, oh I dunno ... story? acting? The things most people want out of a television show or movie.
This is a two season resume for RTD to write for woke Disney. We've come full circle, where Frankenstein destroys his creation.
Doctor Who is dead. At this point they’re vandalizing the gravesite and molesting the corpse with THAT teddy bear.
I loved that Drinker video. THAT Teddy beat 😂
Every time Disney destroys another franchise they've purchased I just laugh now. I know it's just another smug, triumphant step in their march to their ultimate demise.
