Oh Jodie was far worse than Missy. At least Michelle Gomez is a good actor and suited the role that she was given, whether you like it or not. Jodie was wholly unsuited to the Doctor. And yeah, I know what you mean about those middle-aged coward types; they must comprise over half of the "bulk" of Jodie-bots and the like. I can almost excuse over-excitable children who grew up during NuWho and the era of identity politics, but when grown ass men are out defending this stuff it's honestly just pathetic. The middle aged coward types are often the nastiest and certainly the most condescending too, like Jon Blum. Mr Tardis meanwhile I don't really count as an SJW as he is just a shill who goes with whatever he needs in order to get the coveted gig of dust bin in RTD's office. Usually the rubbish flows out of him, but this time he'll have to absorb it. I'm told that the position of coat hanger was taken by Benji Cock. Other younger fans meanwhile you might be able to reach a common ground with, though obviously there are some who are completely insane. Still they at least believe what they are saying and again don't really know about the history of classic who. The middle aged fans however are the supreme traitors! |

I guess I can understand the RTD-motivated fervour of younger fans to an extent, since I am technically one of them. But everyone knows you can never go home again; you can't walk the streets where you used to play as a child and pretend that you're back in the "good old days". And often, as a lot of people will find, the joy was of youth alone, the revels all of the mind, so to speak. I think there's going to be a great disillusionment this coming November, and I doubt the reanimation of these creative corpses will revitalise the show as much as the suits seem to think it will.

Missy got on my tits in series 8 and 9 but I honestly don't mind her in 10.
According to what I heard the other day, Rob, Romana was in that Time Fracture thing. As a man.
You cannot make this insanity up.

You cannot make this insanity up. That's fair enough about series 10. I still don't like her that year, but she isn't as intrusively annoying and awful as Death in Heaven or the Dalek two parter. Jesus Christ Romana as a man is just ridiculous. I can't parody New Who anymore. EVerything I used to come up with as a parody they've done. A pre Hartnell doctor, the doctor turning into an animal, Romana being a man etc. |

I guess it's partly bitterness at being old and having to share your fanbase and political associations with people half your age. |

Every time it seems like this rancid, hollowed-out corpse of a franchise has finally hit its absolute nadir, it just carries on plumbing new, impossible-to-satirise depths of utter stupidity. There's no way back for it now. Doctor Who is broken beyond repair. |

I've never seen a frame of Capaldi's last season. Given up by that point. Moffat and his sassy dialogue overload made something in me snap. No idea how Missy ended up. Am I missing anything?

The first part of the finale is genuinely brilliant, like top-tier Doctor Who. Second half f*cks it all up though. Everything else in the season is pretty superfluous and nothing of note really crops up. The "Monk Trilogy" is a bit of a landmark considering it's the first official three-parter in NuWho, but story-wise it's very weak. The only thing you're really missing is Capaldi's acting, and personally I quite like Bill as well, which is something I don't think many on here will agree with. |

I will ask, what is with the oh so literal titles.
It can't just be a story called Doomsday can it? You know in the way a sane person titles their story. No it's got to be some shit play on words that is 100% literal to the plot.
It's not cleaver, it's stupid and cringe worthy. As is calling you socially acquired assassin Doom. For f*ck sake, it screams "I am a clever writer, no really I am!".

I'll take 10 of Bill over f*cking Clara. Hell any nuwho companion, or ever Dodo over f*cking Clara. |

Smile is a really fun throwback episode, with an atmospheric first half where it's just the Doctor and Bill exploring a planet on their own. Extremis is one of those really great mindbendy Moffat episodes. Empress of Mars is basically a tribute to the Peladon serials, and feels very classic Who. They even have a cameo from Alpha Centauri with the original actress. The two-part finale is very good. |

Actually yeah I will concede that Smile is pretty decent up until the start of the "action". Extremis was okay, I guess, but still riddled with all the typical Moffatisms, QuIrKy humour and all. Empress of Mars would probably be one of my top-picks for "most average DW episode", in that it has everything there that's typical of a DW story, as well as finely balances the characteristically good and bad. The Eaters of Light was a very poor episode, but notable as having been written by the same writer who wrote "Survival", to this day the only classic writer that's returned for NuWho.
