I tried to watch from the start, but there were so many missing or partially recovered episodes that I became frustrated. Some of the surviving ones were good though. Like The Dalek Invasion of Earth.

>>194272what the series lacks is creativity and fresh ideas and writers who can be held accountable to their myopic version of diversity. people want
POC characters and women (half the fandom is women) but don't the (white) writing team realise that writing
POC characters without any personality is worse than not writing them at all? they're given no dignity and depth and they pick the flattest, most unemotional actors. diversity doesn't work if you're just doing it for the sake of doing it and people can see right through pandering. bill was perfectly written and done justice. if you don't give a fuck about your characters then why bother writing them in the first place? because the audience won't care.
they need to give it a break for a few years. the 7th doctor's run was campy and i enjoyed it but the ratings were just getting worse and worse. either they try and do something unique or they try and make it just like marvel and embarrass themselves when nobody wants to buy into their pandering BS

>>247710S13 is objectively terrible but I'm weirdly fond of it. They just turned all the messiness and timey wimey shit (god that expression makes me want to punch things) up to 100 and it at least felt like there were a few new ideas in there, even if they were a bit shit. If you can make it through, the NY ep that came afterwards was a bit better
>thasminI share your bafflement, anon. These two twats are so unlikable I don't know how anyone could get excited over them.

>>247774I ended up catching up with it and yeah I agree with you. At least I wasn't regretting my existence after watching it like I did with S12.
What did everyone think of the centenary special anyway? Personally I was kind of glad they didn't screw up the lore further and just kept it to fanservice, though the episode is a total mess. I think I'd have been really mad at 13 regenerating back into Tennant at the end if I had actually been invested in the era, and I know deep down it's a cheap trick to boost hype, but honestly anything is better than what we've been getting recently. I'll take a reenactment of the RTD days by the real deal over Chibnall's empty imitation.

>>250820I thought it was pretty decent, and definitely could have been a lot worse. Probably should have been a two part-er though. I wasn't keen on the whole "convoluted plot with a million threads that only start to make sense in the last 10 mins" thing, but I guess that's Chibnall's thing. It was also kind of weird to throw in the Daleks and the Cybermen just for them to be irrelevant in the end. I did like the fanservice though, and it was the first time I've been convinced by Sacha Dhawan as the Master, so that was nice (and honestly, I'm just glad to be shot of the entire era so I probably would've enjoyed anything kek) I agree about Tennant - I'm cynical but at the same time really excited to have him back.
>Chibnall's empty imitationThe centenary felt exactly like this! The Master being super camp all of a sudden, the Rasputin bit… Even the scene where the Doctor woke up before her regen to Yaz flying the TARDIS was exactly like the scene before 9's regeneration
