It's like. How. Steven Moffat was far from a perfect show runner, but whenever I watched his episodes they always at least felt like alot of effort was put into them, like he really cared about the show and the characters. Even on the terrible episodes. And on the good and great episodes you can REALLY tell how much he loves working on Doctor Who. With Chibnall it always feels like he doesn't really respect or get the characters, especially the doctor. Which is a massive problem for such an old and beloved character and franchise.

What really struck me in that episode was how unbearably cheesy Captain Jack was. I know he's a very cheesy character to begin with, but this was another level. It felt like an on the nose parody of the Davies era, almost exploiting Barrowman's enthusiasm on returning to the role. It made me kind of angry, because nostalgic self-parody can be great fan service, but when it's earned. Chibnall's tepid slosh up to that episode just didn't earn him the right to get that cocky. You can't go around mocking a better era of the show when yours isn't up to scratch.

One of the many things I found interesting about your take, was that Jodie didn't grow up watching Doctor Who. Compare with Matt Smith, who because the show wasn't aired when he was a child, also didn't grow up watching the show. Look at the difference - while Matt impressively researched and was given room to develop his character, Jodie was actively discouraged from doing the same. While Jodie is a phenomenal actor, she hasn't been given the time or space (no pun intended) to develop her role. As the face of the role, she is the one being heavily criticised, but I don't believe she is at fault. Chibnall's vision of the show, as shown in your video, contrasts from the majority of the fan base. His 'fam' isn't a real family, but a thrown together group, trying to form a DW fan club, but without the resources to do so successfully. While I welcome the diversity (at long last), the way the characters are written subtlety, but most definitely panders to stale stereotypical troupes. The show comes across as a group of hired mouthpieces, spouting out Chibnall's personal vision. By actively discouraging Jodie, and the others their unique input into the show, Chibnall is imposing his own will. A will that seems to be fundamentally flawed. Chibnall appears to celebrate diversity on the surface, but in reality attacks it. In short, if Chibnall is replaced with a show runner that can develop great story arcs, bring in interesting and original character development, challenges the viewers perspectives, and encourages Jodie and the rest of the cast (those at are left at any rate) to develop their characters, then the fortunes of the show will improve. If Chibnall stays, the show will die.

6:00. That’s probably what niggles me about the costume; over engineered, it *feels* like a costume, rather than a mish-mash of eccentric clothing. I do prefer the 'tomboy take' and think going for a Missy look would have been a mistake ‘oh look she’s a woman now, let’s stick her in a dress’ 🙄- although the characterisation of Missy’s ‘alien masquerading as a woman’ certainly wouldn’t go amiss. However, Thirteen definitely looks much better in Capaldi’s tattered suit and even in Spyfall with the tux. I really wish they had gone for something more like that, or at the very least, changed it up a bit over the two series. I don’t mind the coat or even the braces but the stupidly short trousers are goofy and at best just incredibly impractical - I always get a pang of sympathy when its winter outdoors scenes, man she must get cold shins! 🥶 Imagine going to a snow planet wearing that! 😲

Companions didn't care. But I agree that what she did to the master was unjustifiable and wrong. She has a cruel callous streak to her that makes early 12 look like a teddy bear.

i don't know why the companions care about her at all. In earlier series, each companion gets to see the might and significance of the doctor as a person in the universe so their mad respect/obsession for them is quite valid to some extent. Amy and Rory get shown the Atraxi's archive of who the doctor has been up until that point, Rose finds out 9 just came out of a massive ALIEN WAR yet still has at least a sliver of optimism to go out of his way and save humans when he is able etc etc... Yeah 13 was a bit "alien-like" and had lots of rambly post-regeneration dialogue, but she wasn't given much to establish to her companions and viewers who she is - where she's been and why she's here. Part of the might of the doctor is that they've had so much history and have become so significant in all of time and space on multiple occasions. The companions now don't know any of that and have only really seen a lame and inconsistent surface layer of what is a much more complex character. I honestly can argue that idea both ways if the mood strikes me but I do think that is part of the issue the show has

Which is a flawed argument, because you don't need to be good at something to be able to recognise quality. For example, most people are able to accurately distinguish a great singer from a passable one, even without any knowledge of vocal techniques or musical theory. They key point is that most people can recognise greatness, but most people don't understand why it's great. Chibnall is a perfect example of this. His arguments in that overused clip from the 80s are sound. He knows what good Doctor Who looks like, but he doesn't know why. The clearest example for me is with his first episode, 42. The episode is thematically and stylistically very derivative The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit, which is one of the best stories of the RTD era. Chibnall clearly recognised this, as he copied not only the claustrophobic space setting with a smallish cast of stranded characters, but also the possession elements, the villain being a cosmic enemy of incomprehensible power, etc. The only real difference between the two stories is that 42 sucks.

Notice how the Doctor doesn't generally just say "Fuck you I've got mine you lazy entitled millenials. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps and don't expect me to save you." The Doctor has always been the champion for the poor and underprivileged. That's an integral component of the show. That's kind of the point. Sci fi in general has always been left leaning.

Moffat got a lot of hate near the end of his run, but now looking back, I think it was astounding the work both he and Davies did and we were incredibly lucky to get them. I mean really, after Davies, it would be hard to find a show runner that could do anything better than he did, but Moffat took to the challenge. He brought in season long storylines in at _full force,_ introduced a classic-like doctor (Capaldi) to the new generation, and even did a revival of longer two part stories for season nine. Some things ended up not panning out great during Moffat's run (the season 6 storyline comes to mind) but it's almost always because he went to large in the build up and couldn't deliver a finale that could top those.

Can you imagine how interesting it would be if the companions within the show pointed out 13’s hand-wave dismissals and hypocrisies? Make that the core of her character: “Who is the Doctor without her regret?”DAMN I’d love that!!! The concept of a Doctor that on the surface appears to embody the best parts of the character being challenged by the fact that without acknowledging her dark side she’s actually more dangerous than the other Doctors would be such a fresh, interesting take on the Doctor.

You can say Moffat had his up and downs as a writer all you want, but in my opinion you CAN'T say that his last seasons with Capaldi were a let down. The show really did a great comeback with Season 9 and Season 10 for me. Some of the best moments in the revival. Heaven Sent, World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls, Extremis, Oxygen, Face the Raven, The Magician's Apprentice/The Witch's Familiar, The Husbands of River Song.... so much good stuff.

I'm rewatching the early seasons of new Who and they are so engaging - quality actors, great characters, clever stories, believable and consistent events. The Doctor may change but the personality and psychology is still there. Introducing a female Doctor was a huge opportunity and a massive challenge - it would take a strong writer and an equally strong actor to make it successful. Instead they ticked a few boxes and then shat all over everything that came before it. And 3 weak companions? What a great way to utterly dilute their new Doctor. They never connected with each other or with the Doctor, they were just tools to create stories with social statements. I didn't watch the last season at all. Summary: This doctor is not part of New Who. It's New New Who (Dork).

Sometimes Jodie delivers lines like the Doctor's just figuring something out when it's meant to be her explaining to the companions. Or at 4:33 for example, I could see this being one of Tennant's Doctor's tangents where he speaks really fast and then goes _"wellllll"_ at the end. But Jodie delivers it like it's meant to be an explanation to the companions and so it's really drawn out and slow.

I like the honeycomb Crystal look of the columns and am fine with the console itself but the room is horrible. It looks like a set in a room, it doesn’t have walls or anything it seems, it’s like a room they keep dimly lit solely to hide the fact that otherwise you would see the lighting rigs and so on. The TARDIS is a set we have all dreamt of being in, but previous incarnations of it, for the most part, looked like actual rooms. The console room for the The Three Doctors is similarly cobbled together and looks fake, but the new series TARDISes (even ones I did not personally like, like Smith’s in series 7B) all looked like actual places that exist in their own reality. It’s not a major gripe but it just drags everything down that tiny bit more for me.

I think the big problem with the Doctor's characterisation comes down to the kind of writer than Chibnall is. Chibnall is essentially a contractor. You give him a brief to work with and he'll produce something that's safe, competently made and generally pretty entertaining (e.g. "Hey Chris, I have two weeks free in my plan, and I want to bring back a monster from the classic show for my first series. Can you do a two-parter about the Silurians?" "Sure thing Steven!") This method works well for the odd throwaway episode, but actually running the show needs a lot of imagination, big ideas and a clear vision for the show. Davies and Moffat clearly had these, but a writer-for-hire will inevitably struggle when it comes to writing an entire series of this show and coming up with characters from scratch, then developing them. I think this is why the Thirteenth Doctor feels like a very generic Doctor template, and why her character doesn't undergo much development over series 11 and 12

Chibnall decided that any story the show had up until now was his to change. So he retcons Gallifrey actually still being there after it was saved by having the Master destroy it and then theres the Master he just completely dismisses the entire arc the character had as Missy with Capaldi. The stories he's written for Dr Who beforehand have been some of the worst in any given series. He wrote broad church to a good amount of success but he has never been able to write for Dr Who well. I enjoyed a few of the stories of 13 but as Jack said she never clicked for me, she hasn't had a moment where I've gone "That's the doctor" Like in Matt Smith's 1st Ep at the end when he's sending the atraxi away, and his second ep with Clara with his speech to the sun. Finding out that Jodie hasn't seen much (if any) episodes of Dr Who made me realise why she feels so stale as the doctor, not that the writing helps most of the time anyway. Another thing that I feel does not help these episodes is the lack-luster music that is just kind of an ambient thing with a few beeps and whooshes and the constant whine it sounds horrible and just ruins the atmosphere of the show (I understand that because Murray Gold left his place needed to be filled and that the feel of the show musically wouldn't be the same I was prepared for that as sad as it was just not the Ambient Meh that we got that just does not fit Dr Who). The companions are just not explored at all and I feel if they just started the first series off with one maybe two companions it would have made it easier to develop them into... actual characters instead of Yes people for the doctor, Like again look toward previous doctors we had rose for Eccleston's doctor but they picked up Capatain Jack and then actually intergrated him into the tardis crew or another good example is Amy and Rory, they took the time to develop Amy alongside Matt Smiths initial episodes and then Rory was added to great success because they allowed The doctor and Amy to make a dynamic before adding him. And one last thing it annoys me that the doctor just seemingly knows what everything is and what it's being used for just by looking at it, there's no moments where the doctor is up a creek having to invent ways out of a situation that nobody else could there's no tense decisions being made she just points her screwdriver at it and the problem is exposited or fixed.

That's why the pandorica arc works so well. The doctor is allowed to not know everything and to figure it out as the episode goes. The companion exist for them to learn and to ask questions or to challenge the doctor. I still remember foundly the days when one of the doctor companions actively challenged the doctor on the fact that he was doing dangerous things and travelling with him was not a great idea.. I mean now i just want characters on screen. how my standards have been lowered.

@@Scroteydada have to disagree there John Simm can emote, but i will agree his acting can be hit and miss sometimes but his Master was just absolutely mental. His emotional state was up and down like a roller-coaster and I thought he was a great foil for Tennants spitting crying Doctor. Michelle Gomez's Missy was a perfect match for Capaldi's measured performance she really bought a lot of playfulness to Capaldi's seriously grumpy easily irritated Doctor, but Simm's manic angry Master did not work as well with Capaldi . He came across like an angry School kid challenging a vastly superior intellect, Missy however was an intellectual equal. I would add that Simm was exceptional in Life on Mars. I think his type of acting requires a powerful sort of presence or personality for him to bounce off ( like Philip Glenister) when he hasn't got that he becomes quite ordinary. I think that is what you are seeing.

Just about every scene with Graham and The Doctor dealing with sensitive issues has bugged me, both because she never addresses any concerns in an adult way and because no one who identifies as socially awkward tends to say that to people that make them feel awkward. They would want to be separate from the source of their anxiety and leave the scene to find a place to retreat. Hell, a doctor that doesn't want to deal with companions personal issues but can't travel without them would have been an interesting character arc. A Doctor searching for an identity after the 12th Doctor struggled to decide if he even wanted to go on would be really interesting. But nobody in this entire run has had a consistent motivation for anything that isn't contradicted by something a few shows later. But there is no arc for this era of Who. Season 11 is a mess of singular episodes with barely a link between them much less the rest of the series. Season 12 brings back old characters and enemies but the doctor herself has no internal conflict to resolve. Everything that's interesting about the character hinges on the Timeless Child nonsense, which when it is revealed, doesn't even register as significant to the character beyond a tantrum with the Master and a chat with the Jo Martin Doctor. Too many basic writing deficiencies and bad plot devices and development hinder every part of Chibnall's run as showrunner. His best episodes with previous showrunners were never great but because he was working in the wheelhouse of their plot ideas they were never as bad as these seasons have been. No one has established the parameters of the characters, plots or the world for him, so his writing seems to constantly flail about with ideas that are never properly realized and characters that never feel three dimensional. It's a mess.

it's amazing how poor the Chibnall era grows with every new piece of information fans discover. To learn that Jodie did zero research into the this character is just shocking to me. I find it absolutely daunting and baffling that Chibnall (a man who claims to be a massive Doctor Who fan) discouraged her from watching any of the previous 13 Doctors (and I'm including John Hurt's brief but enthralling time as The War Doctor). Hell she spent 3 years working with David Tennant (A Man whose portrayal of The 10th Doctor is put on Par with Tom Baker's 7 year run as The 4th Doctor) on the set of Broadchurch. Even Matt Smith (Who hadn't watched the show (mostly due to Who being off air during his childhood) prior to accepting the role) went back and thoroughly researched to a point that he found inspiration in Patrick Troughton'. Honestly the Chibnall Era is one that gruesomely falls on the sword Chibnall used once to criticise the John Nathan Turner/Colin Baker Era of who as Chibnall describes (From 0:00 - 0:11 of this very video) yet his own writing is filled with poorly constructed exposition fuelled verbal diarrhea which Jodie (although a talented actress as seen when she is on stage or even in the Chibnall run Broadchurch) Blindly follows these lacklustre scripts cobbled together by Chibs and his circus of genre inexperienced writers resulting in this Satirical Doctor Caricature which seems like an BBC Funded fan film series rather than gripping Sci-Fi Fantasy drama. For me when it comes to Modern Who it's like making a sandwich with Russell T Davies Era seems to be like fresh bakery bread it's new yet is made with an old, well balanced tried and tested formula that tastes familiar and homely, Moffat's Era is the filling which tries to be sophisticated & over the top but to also be familiar as well, like adding parmesan cheese and spicy pepperoni whilst Chibnall's Era is like adding Marmite/ Vegemite an experimental decision that you either love or hate. A poorly executed decision when knowing there are other safer and more appealing relish/sauce options available.

Jodie's "white male gaze" comment shows how little she knows about the show. Since 1970 the main perspective has always been that of a WOMAN---a female companion who travels with the Doctor. Through HER eyes we have viewed this mysterious alien, and her job has been to make him more sympathetic and comprehensible. Up until 2018 we already had a female perspective but that was lost, ironically, once Jodie took over the role. Her Doctor is essentially genderless AND impossible to understand, with no strong female companion like Sarah Jane or Donna to provide enlightenment. ( Sorry, but Yaz doesn't count!)

1. If someone thinks Tennant and Smith are similar, they either haven't seen enough Tennant or seen enough Smith. 2. Whittaker's Tuxedo should be her main costume, it looks great and weirdly suits her forgetful, curious and awkward characterization that prefers merangue restaurants to stuff like meeting Agatha Christie. 3. What's weird about the "Will the Doctor press the button that kills everyone?" thing from Series 1, is that it's been reused before. In Series 4, where we get the ultimate bait-and-switch and we have a duplicate of the Doctor press the button where the real one refuses. Fantastic character stuff for the Doctor!

I think maybe some folks are less able to see the stylistic differences and just associate the manic/melancholic behavior as being the same in each character. I think Tennant tended to lean more towards the serious side of the spectrum, even in the less serious moments, whereas Smith tended a little more towards the lighter side. However, both played a wide array of moods, depending on the circumstances, with Tennant being quite lighthearted at times, and Smith deadly serious, when warranted.

He is the worst possible candidate for a new showrunner and I have no idea why he was picked.

Just attaching a quirk and calling it character building without the experience to drive said quirk is moronic character development and at worst derogatory. Knowledge is just a tool we use, not a person themselves. a person may be knowledgable but they aren't defined by what they know so much as how they use what they know. No, a person's existence is more than just quirks and knowledge. Each person is wholly unique and has to lead a life that leads them to who they are now. Each Doctor up till 13 is an embodiment of knowledgeability contrasted by their quirks., that is true. But each doctor is shaped by experiences that lead them to develop those quirks. But the doctor isn't defined by his knowledge or his quirks, its how he uses that knowledge to help others. 13 is inconsistent and at times ruthlessly incompetent compared to the doctors before her. her "quirks" are spontaneous and vary between episodes.

Whole-heartedly agree, I feel like the only reason anyone likes her is because she’s the first female Doctor... but that shouldn’t be a replacement for a personality. Two seires in and I don't know who this character is other than an eccentric primary school teacher - I can’t think of a single characteristic that’s exclusive to her Doctor (other than her gender). The extent of her Doctor being angry is just mildly pissed off and even with the Gallifrey arc this series all it really amounted to was her pushing The Master on the floor and being a bit shouty… far from The Fury of a Timelord or The Oncoming Storm. And I feel like the script is the only thing giving her any presence in the room - I get no aura of authority or gravitas from Thirteen. Also, her performance is very one-note and there are times where she over-pronounces and speaks slowly (especially in exposition scenes) that really makes it feel like she’s just reading from a script. I think she’s a massive miscast and the only reason she got the job was because it was the first woman Chibnall could think of (other than Olivia Coleman).

I hadn't realised that Jodie hadn't watched much if any of the series, but that certainly goes some way (along with Chibnall's woeful writing) to explain why she utterly failed to encapsulate and expand upon all that the Doctor should be. She was just copying a few surface traits without any real comprehension of the role.

I’m all for a female Doctor, but she needed to be played by someone like Helena Bonham Carter or Tilda Swindon. Someone that you could look at and think “that’s the Doctor.” Something I didn’t get with Jodie.

@@potatoface1041 she was always my choice for the first female Doctor ever since watching the Doctor’s wife. Cause when I first saw Idris, I thought Suranne Jones was HBC cause I didn’t know who she was at the time. And honestly I love the idea of playing up the change. I mean the doctor was never a woman up to this point, so there should be a bigger deal about it like having a different anatomy to get used to when he was a man for the past 2000 years (I’m goin by his age before they made him 900 again in the new series)

I can't wait for the next showrunner, hopefully Doctor Ruth won't be transferred across and the doctor will get his memories back Chinballs is about to wipe.
