doctor who

[Samcro]

is there a thread?

@SheldonesqueTheBstard

Dot.

But Dot though. 🥰

I could have done with him as the next doctor.

The Master, surely?

I’m still hoping for a John Simm reprieve…

Be still my walloping two hearts.

Was that Sir Anthony Strallen from Downton?

The latest doctor is terrible. I just dont feel her acting/voice/persona. Also, the writing for the latest season is terrible.

It was indeed m’lady polkadots.

Until his face got stuffed with a wriggling snek.

[quote LiterallyKnowsBest]Did you miss all the Division episodes, ParishSpinster? If so there’s an explanation here:

Thank you, this has helped me make some sense of it!

I was initially baffled but now think it's shaping up for a good ending.

I’m loving the Liverpool references and mad mole of edge hill.

Show don't tell.
There's a lot of exposition-driven monologuing going on.
Or is it me?

@SequinsandStiIettos

Agreed. It felt like they had to explain everything. What they were doing, why they were doing it and what would happen if they failed. 🙄 I really didn't enjoy it at all. I still had no idea what was going on for the most part, and it all just felt very rushed and a ridiculous series of conveniences.

I take it if I were to ask someone WTF I watched tonight, all the responses would be- we have no idea? Because I am seriously confused by everything. Bit like The Doctor.

Awful. Just awful. The three Whittakers doing full-on exposition-gabble didn't help either.

Which is a shame as the supporting cast were fine.

I dont know what any of that was about..or what happened..or why..
Ooh darleks coming back

The answer to everything seems to be 'blah blah quantum blah blah'.

Too confusing

Even my devoted Whitman teens have given up in disgust :( saying: 'do we have to endure a NY special too ?'

Who is writing the specials? Does anyone know?

I've been watching since I was a little girl, and this is tragic.

It was a bit bonkers, wasn't it, and I can't decide if it was awful or brilliant.

Sadly, I think it was far, far closer to "awful" than it was to "brilliant".

Too much going on and far too much "explaining".

Liverpool was the outstanding star of this series. Well done to the people who showed the city in all its glory.

Having read the interview with the erstwhile Grey Worm of GOT - (Jacob Basil Anderson) it’s my sad conclusion that poorly written Dr Who really drags down the skills of the actors it employs. I know other people have said JW is a much better actor in other things. JBA was extraordinary in GOT - but the Dr Who script gave him almost no scope for anything at all - no emotion, just running around with a weapon.

@DoctorDonna20 I am scared of the weeping angels too, I remember watching it with my children for the first time (they were too young when it first came out) and preparing them for it being so scary- they looked at me like I was mad 🙄

Me too! I was excited to hear he was in the show and then realised sadly that would mean he couldn't be the next Doc

He would have been perfect.

But so would Malcolm Tucker.

They missed a trick there. As much as I loved Peter Capaldi, they proper let him down.

Malcolm as the Doc? Post watershed perfection.

We thought Yaz and the Doctor were going to kiss at the end! It would have made about as much sense as the rest of it...

Gosh - I loved this series. It finally had some kick and I felt the writing was back. Why would anyone in a 6 episode arc of Dr Who expect to understand in Episode 1 what was going on? Maybe thats the youth of today - need all the answers given straight away.

I thought the interweaving of the Dr's ongoing enemies worked really well and introduced some new ones. Was no-one puzzled by the unveiling of the Time master as the Dr? And I am still frightened by the Stone Angels. They are frigging scary.

I thought the multiple story lines played really well. They rolled the story forward with overlapping characters. Yes it was confusing but remember to breathe and all will be OK.

The supporting cast did really well - I adore John Bishop so naturally he can do no wrong. But that was a little like Bradley Walsh Mark 2. I also thought the Dr and Yaz might kiss - the emotion was all there.

Why would anyone in a 6 episode arc of Dr Who expect to understand in Episode 1 what was going on?

I would have expected to understand by episode 5.

You should be able to have a vague idea of the basic storyline in Episode 1 but this had far too many pieces of the puzzle. The twists and turns should be in addition to a solid core.
