  • Doctor Who Review of Ncuti Gatwa's first Christmas special after David Tennant regenerated into the new time lord. The BBC now creates Doctor Who alongside Disney+ and it's led to a new version of the series. Very different in tone and style to even the Jodie iteration of Doctor Who. You can see where the focus for the series is, and how little attention is paid to the writing. Even though Russel T Davies has returned to lead it. Is Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor Who worth watching?

    Doctor Who is back with a Christmas special from Russell T Davies and Ncuti Gatwa. But as their ratings drop and the Doctor seems more preoccupied, we’ve somehow ended up worse than Jodie Whittaker. This episode had everything, including multiple songs, dancing and a really bad plot. What more could the audience want 😂 But what did you think of what you saw? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)

Just proving that the so called professionals on this show are woefully bad, they should be at least at the level of good fanfiction amateur writers - but they are not.

    Remember that scene during Matt Smith's first episode, where he asks the aliens if the Earth is protected, then walks throught the hologram of all the other aliens the Doctor vanquished, and said: "Hello, I'm The Doctor........basically, RUN".
    The doubts and fears that many fans had about an actor in his mid twenties playing the Doctor disappeared in an instant.
    This episode is pretty much the complete opposite of that.

      That was a great scene. At first I too was worried about Matt Smith as the Doctor but that scene with the giant eyeball and seeing all the incarnations of the Doctor was brilliant. The ever watchful and defiant Doctor in all his dark glory. He could be silly, but when push came to shove you got to see just who you were really dealing with. The millennia of pain and suffering that he carried with him the intractable doctor is one not to be messed with. Tennant was may favorite doctor of the new series, but Matt did the role some real justice. I stopped watching midway through Whittiker's run, I just couldn't stomach it any more.

    The last time I can remember singing in Doctor Who was The Last Song in The Rings of Akhaten, an incredibly beautiful song during which the doctor gives a powerful and heart-wrenching speech to a parasite sun that feeds on memories about the sheer scope and tragedy of his life, desperately hoping in vain that Akhaten might just take it all from him and allow him some measure of peace from things he'll never be able to forget, before the doctor hangs his head in sorrow as Akhaten begins going back to sleep...
    ...and now we have the goblin song.

    Oh God I feel like I know exactly where they’re going to go with the “unknown mother” plot line. She’s going to, through some magical plot contrivance, become pregnant with herself and become her own mother, thus “explaining” why her mother’s DNA never appeared anywhere (despite that not being a surprise given the time period, hell for all they know she drowned in the ocean and nobody ever found the body before this tech became normal).
    This lets them not only fix that issue but also make sure that it’s never implied that a man and a woman had “relations” of that nature

      You say that but Moose attacks rarely end in fatalities. Most often people get run down and then the Moose sees that it's done its job of showing you who's boss and defending its young/territory.
      Most people who get attacked by Moose are run down while jogging, hiking, or biking. Most of them survive with minor injuries. You're talking about approx 400 fatalities to 50,000 injuries for the whole of North America. Most attacks are instigated by Moose with their young.
      Your statement was heavily exaggerated. Still. They seriously outnumber Bear fatalities. That just goes to show how much you don't want to fuck with one.
      This like saying: "Oh you survived a Shark attack? Bullshit. Tiger Sharks are massive and they can rip you apart in seconds!" but the truth is that most shark attacks end with one single bite and the person survives.

    • @BoopaKing
      @BoopaKing Před 18 dny

      @@Unethical.Dodgson The language being used is pretty important imo. Being "trampled" and being "run down" do imply different levels of threat. Being "run down" by a moose can simply mean that it was intimidating you into leaving it and the calf alone, but being "trampled" implies that the moose actually stepped on you, which would lead to horrific injuries at best.
      Same thing with shark "attacks" since if a shark _attacked_ you then it would be highly unlikely for you to live to tell the tale, but as you said most incidents involving sharks end with just one light nibble from the shark because it's checking to see if you're edible. 99.9% of the time that ends with the shark thinking "ew, no" and leaving.

The show we loved has come to an end, but it will always be there to rewatch and will live on in us fans, audio adventures, fanfics, books etc. I have peace with how NuWho came to an end with Tennant's Doctor and Donna finding happiness, it was a fitting ending. I don't expect this New, New Doctor Who to be the same as the old stuff, therefore I still enjoyed the episode casually and don't feel the need to rage about how it's not the same anymore.

    That being said, I haven't watched any of the new Dr Who specials, and seeing this one even second hand in your hilarious review still caused me physical pain.

      A friend recently made me interested in doctor who (I saw like 2 episodes like 15+ years ago when I was way younger and it made no sense), my first re-introduction episode was the angels episode (where the doctor is reading from the finished transcript of the conversation he's having with the two people through a video recording chat thing), then I see the 'new who', and even I can see that somehow they butchered this series.
      Go watch the weeping angels episode (especially with almost no understanding of anything) then jump into this new stuff 😅, you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll question 'how TF' (and then probly cry again).

    There was a way to make Old Woman, the past destruction of the goblin ship, and Blonde Clara Oswald make sense in the story:
    When the Doctor goes back in time, have the shadowy shape of BCO's mother look back and see the ship's destruction and the Doctor replace BCO back on the doorstep. Then, when the Doctor comes back to the future, have OW remark how she'd seen the box -- and him -- a long time ago. The Doctor's confused for a second until he figures it out: *OW is BCO's mother!* He asks why she hasn't made herself known, but OW says she's always looked out for her, but just wants BCO to have a better life than she could give her, and tells him not to tell BCO. OW looking out for her secret daughter is why she then tells BCO to go into the TARDIS and travel with the Doctor, because she knows he's a time traveler, has already saved her life once, and knows it'll be an amazing adventure for her daughter to have.

      @aulvinduergard9952 Před 5 měsíci

      @@PeterCamberwick I've actually had an idea on how to do that for a while: Make it meta.
      It's a Special where you bring back Matt Smith, Jenna Coleman, and Peter Capaldi, who all go to Earth to check out a strange broadcast, What's this broadcast? An in-universe _Doctor Who_ television show, created due to all the alien invasions around Xmas time making Earth's enigmatic alien protector known as "The Doctor" become famous. I doubt you'd be able to get Jodie, Chibnall, or "the fam" back, but it'd be funny to squeeze them in (you'll see how soon).
      Anyway, the actors on the show mistake the Doctor and Clara as former actors returning for an episode/special, but the whole thing turns out to be a kind of "love letter" from Missy, who Clara only knows as 'the lady from the shop' who gave her the number to the TARDIS. The regenerative power of time travel activates the repurposed Cybermen tech they've been using for costumes, and they go on a killing spree, destroying the sets, killing some actors/writers/showrunner, etc. (people who look suspiciously like the to-be retconned series actors). The Doctor manages to finish them off (perhaps due to Capaldi's Doctor being blasted and having to Regenerate), and Missy escapes, but the damage is done: The show can't go on anymore.
      Now, they won't say for sure which episodes/series get retconned out of existence due to being part of this in-universe show, so it's something they can leave up to the fans or announce later. This whole in-universe show though convinces Matt Smith's Doctor that "He's gotten too big," and that he's got to erase all knowledge of his existence, which he does, starting with records of the show.

    I wasn't expecting much from Gatwa's performance due to 2 reliable red flags. 1. His short imdb credits list, which for some reason is common in roles like this, i.e. canon or history breaking raceswaps and roles like Reva's in Kenobi. I've wondered if experienced/good actors just know not to to take these roles. 2. The fact he was cast quickly. He reportedly just walked in one time and RTD was like, "You're hired!" Quick casting has become a problem lately, leading to lots of miscastings in key roles the past several years. They used to take a lot more time about it- and they did indeed use the old school way for One Piece, which led to not just well cast actors, but also ones that had chemistry with each other.

      For me, it ended when Clara left. Capaldi's final season had some pretty odd decisions, trying to make Missy/the Master into the Doctor's BFF. I never liked the companion Bill Pott either. All she did was remind the audience, "I'm black, and I'm gay." (Nevermind that Martha or Cpt. Jack existed years prior). Moffat fumbled the ball by the end, foreshadowing things to come. Still, the final season is at least watchable. I struggled to force myself through the lone episode or two of Jodie Whittaker's era. I still honestly find it hard to believe they seriously cast a female Doctor. It sounds horribly sexist to idiots to say something like that, but it's no more ridiculous than saying a female Batman or a female James Bond is an absurd self-contradiction. If you want a female Batman...then invent Batgirl. If you want a female Doctor, they already did that ages ago, in the characters of Romana or River Song.

    Old lady is the new companion watching herself start her journey, isn’t she? I hope not, but if so that means any time she’s in danger we know she won’t die. Great job setting the stakes down to zero.

      Added to the fact that the timeless child made the Doctor immortal, and now, he’s lost his guilt and his conscience. There’s no risk in any decision he makes. He’s got nothing to lose so there’s no stakes, ever. It also means he’s the most dangerous doctor who could watch worlds burn without batting an eyelid. The exact opposite of what the show has embodied.

    I quite liked the friend selection in the taxi… one black girl, one Indian girl, and a transsexual. I can’t imagine any taxi cab anywhere in the UK ever consisting of a such a group of individuals - it’s completely unrealistic.

    The problem with the BBC is the TV licence fee, while they continue to be guaranteed their £3.2 billion per year from the public's pockets they don't give two shits whether their content is worth viewing or not.
    Look at it this way, if your salary was guaranteed, regardless of whether you worked your butt off or just sat on your arse doing nothing, which would you choose to do?
    So long as the licence fee remains the BBC will just continue to pump shite out. If, however, they were forced to go commercial they would HAVE to produce content that appeals to more people because advertisers wouldn't want to waste advertising revenue on a channel that has no viewership.
