Oh dear was it shit? Tbh I was a massive DrWho fan but cba with the new stuff. We are rewatching from the Chris Eccleston era though with the family atm and loving it.

QueenOfTheEntireFuckingUniverse · 11/05/2024 01:45

It was different. I'm not sure what I think.

Pixiesgirl · 11/05/2024 02:51

Has RTD gone mental? That was awful.

Oh dear.
Thought they might pull it back around ... loved chis, David and Matt as dr who.

Thought about it. Realised my enjoyment of Dr Who is very much tied to the Saturday evening ritual - not interested in watching alone on a laptop in the middle of the night. So I’ll wait for the ‘proper’ broadcast.

Surely they weren’t both dreadful??

Rummikub · 11/05/2024 16:31

Agree that’s it about the Saturday evening ritual. Having said that I couldn’t watch tonight as busy. So had a watch just now.
Space babies- not a fan
But I enjoyed ep 2

Fun with enough of a story and hints at future episodes.

motheronthedancefloor · 11/05/2024 16:46

agree, totally shit

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 11/05/2024 16:52

Just watched episode 1. Hope episode 2 is better...

ConflictedCheetah · 11/05/2024 16:59

Is it scary at all? Watching this evening with DS who's 8.

Rummikub · 11/05/2024 17:04

No it wasnt scary I don’t think.

Can you share why it was so awful, without major spoilers? (Confusing/unconvincing plot, RTD trying to be too woke, bad pacing, etc.) I enjoyed the Christmas special but haven't made my mind up as to watching the new season.

IncompleteSenten · 11/05/2024 17:41

What Disney episodes?

One was dire now watching two so really hope the same.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 11/05/2024 18:14

My considered opinion is that episode 2 was a lot better than episode 1.
Except the last 5 minutes - wtf?

Rummikub · 11/05/2024 18:41

I like these two together.

Globules · 11/05/2024 18:48

Loved going out to watch the AB with the teens, then back at midnight for the Dr Who drop.

I was shocked by the change in RTD output. Not good. But teens loved it. They thought the babies were hilarious.

Please please don't go silly on us RTD.

TripleDaisySummer · 11/05/2024 18:50

We'll I'd agree with it better than episode 1 but still dire - acting seemed stilted and odd from Dr and companion, story thin though costumes and lighting were good.

Compared to 2000 Dr Who it's a shadow of it's former self and struggled to keep anyone's attention here.

Good writing would have had those song and dance scenes especially with musical villain ( a high point mostly) as part of plot not tacked on at end like that.

We now watching Dead Boy Detectives - which is keeping everyone but DH attention.

daffodilandtulip · 11/05/2024 18:59

I caught the start of this thread earlier and was like "not reading this, they can't ruin it for me."

Yeah it's crap.

suburburban · 11/05/2024 19:00

Preachy as well

CwmYoy · 11/05/2024 19:00

Truly dreadful.

suburburban · 11/05/2024 19:01

Enjoy the 70s Drs so much more on Iplayer

Rummikub · 11/05/2024 20:02

Shirley ballas and Johannes!

MrsLargeEmbodied · 12/05/2024 20:16

i enjoyed space babies
eventually

Pixiesgirl · 13/05/2024 01:52

For me it just has no depth or nuance anymore. I didn't love the three specials, but was hoping for more with the new series. But they seemed to have turned the glib up 100% (maestro actually freaked me out, not in a good way)

Maybe extra Disney money was a mistake. I don't understand though, I could look past the rtd'isms in the past I have loved a lot of his stuff.

Let's see what Moffat offers next time.
