She was never one of the annoying ones to be honest. Hopefully she gets a role somewhere else. |

Again, don't see how that equates to him whining all the time like Tennant did... All the "question that must never be asked" bullshit. The whole thing was just a mystery box inside a mystery box inside a mystery box, etc. I do respect Moffat for trying to take DW to the next level, but it just didn't have the gas to compete with real prestige television. RTD Who was competing with Merlin and Primeval, Moffat's Who aspired to compete with Game of Thrones and the Walking Dead, but it fumbled its way along and never really had the reach for it. To be fair for a while. For phoney, hipster millennial twatish genre fans in the 2010s, (the very types who devoured DW and then left when it wasn't popular.) The big three genre shows in the early 2010s where The Walking Dead, Moffat era Who, and Game of Thrones. Each one more overrated than the last. |

That's literally a completely different issue than the Doctor whining and moping about being alone etc, which was what we were talking about... I don't like that one either much but at least the Doctor wasn't as much of a pussy as he was with Davies.

In that both are from the Time War backstory. "I'm so mopey, I'm so lonely, and I'm so badass because I killed all my people." etc. All emo shit LOL. |

Maybe she dared to speak her mind? That black babe is seriously, seriously, seriously cute. I'd watch it for her alone normally, but honestly I just have 0 interest in Ncuti that I don't think that would be enough even for me. |

It mainly concerns the idea of the Doctor as this moralising antihero, which is such a boring portrayal imo. I'm tired of emotional baggage in these shows, real people don't talk or act like this. Lots of glib "cool lines" for trailers that fool fans who don't know any better into thinking it's deep and contemplative. The TV equivalent of a high school philosophy club.

Again I don't think it would have been bad in this instance because the whole point of the 50th, it seemed was to get us away from that. To show us the Doctor isn't this Angel/Xena expy he'd been turned into in the Davies era. At the end of the 50th not only do we find out that he didn't kill the time lords, but in what is seemingly his darkest hour, rather than slaughter everyone. The Doctor does what he always does and finds an unconventional way, thinks outside the box and saves the day. Having all of them do it, just reinforces how that's at the core of the character. Had that led to the Doctor eventually freeing the Time Lords and just going back to being a renegade again with Capaldi as a more old school Doctor that would have been a perfect way to bridge the gap between the original and the revival. Sadly however the very next day they went back to the moralising anti hero with the Am I A Good Man shit, and within 5 years they went back to the RTD era bollocks of him being the last of the time lords only this time they made it even more boring and anti climactic. At least before it took an entire lovecraftian war with the Daleks to finish them, not one guy. |

Yeah, I'm still waiting for an explanation of how the Master just nuked them one day. You'd think he'd have done it ages ago.

Space Babies is probably the worst episode that RTD has ever written. The Devil's Chord is kind of nuts but in a good way. Certainly better than I thought it was going to be although the Beatles are barely in it. Overall one massive turd (Don't watch it. Ever!) and one moderately fun adventure. The latter actually has some nice references to TruWho. One is a homage to the 1980 desolate world scene from Pyramids of Mars and the other is a nod to Susan and the fact that the First Doctor is at Totter's Lane during the events of this episode.
