Damn, this thread is the most "no one hates Doctor Who more than Doctor Who fans" type beat I've seen in ages. God forbid our favourite television show get another season.
- Lol. Yeah. Ncuti had a great season. I don't see what the fuss is about.
  Though I'm willing to stand by my earlier stupid joke that everything after Pertwee (1970-1974) is catering to fair weather newbie fans.
Season 2? Did I miss a reboot? Lmao
- Yeah they did a soft reboot right after Tennant came back
- they went to season 1 when they launched on d+
  
  when they did what? Have i been living under a rock?
- No you didn't. It's absolute horseshit.
If the rumours that DW is going to be put on hiatus for 10 years and the sets taken down and production staff let go I can only say… it’s about time.
The (original) show was never about cartoony, fizzed-up comic action without subtlety or nuance that tried to pick up the audiences of Strictly and Love Island. It didn’t need a budget of $1 million per episode. It didn’t need Disney. Time for a rest and then a regeneration.
- They destroyed this show with modern audience bullshit.
  Yeah. Everything after Pertwee kind of lost it's way. Lol.
- I'm not super familiar with Eccleston's politics but he had some amazing stories while in the Tardis and what he has spoken of his leaving the series, which has been entirely backed up by everyone who spoke about it after, was entirely due to mistreatment from higher ups to the little people that make the show work.
  Maybe I have a huge blindspot but I don't see much reason to get mad at him when he brought up some legitimate concerns, and his departure was a catalyst for conditions improving.
- I am hopefully going to get the chance to talk to Jodie in the next couple of months(Denver fan fest), and I am going ask her how she tolerated the writers for her episodes. (I have a bit to figure out how word that nicely.
  She is probably my second favorite Dr to Tennant, FWIW.
  
  I need to rewatch Jodie's seasons again. Thought she was a brilliant actor doing the best she could with the script/stories presented. No idea how things got so bad but she was one of the few good things about those days.
- Propaganda for what?
