I’m genuinely confused by this, the current season of Doctor Who has been excellent. The episodes have been memorable, I’m interested in the overarching story they’ve been building up, solid companions, and a great Doctor.

Let me guess. The Daleks? Or maybe the cyber men?
I gave up when lazy writing constantly pushed to the same boring for. A giant wheelie bin.
Really loved Blink with the Angels but I got so tired of it. Think I stopped watching around Matt Smith era and he was quite good.

Disney invested money, but destroyed the marketing aspect, citing anything considered woke or DEI-related to be non-grata…

Wait, the source is a Murdoch newspaper? I’ll wait until another more credible source confirms this

That’s unfortunate. I think the show has found a new groove and perspective with Ncuti Gatwa as the doctor.

Yeah. Ncuti is nailing it. I really like him as the doctor

He’s just an incredibly watchable actor that brings levity and gravitas with ease.

I like the latest Doctor Who. Commercials in the middle are fucking lame and make me want to pirate that shit even though I’m paying for a service that provides it.
Otherwise the latest story is awesome! The barber shop spider is good ol Doctor Who

Honestly, other than that terrible Eurovision episode, it’s been a good series overall. Some of the best Dr Who in recent years.

The last episode sucked. Highly questionable politics and Belinda’s personality was nowhere to be seen. Liked Lux and Story and the Engine though

Yes, anyone with or without eyes could have seen this one coming. Disney is poison, and kills everything good in entertainment. They are the EA of Hollywood, but even more reprehensible.
