When did you stop watching Dr Who? I did after Series 13, at that point I’d stopped caring
I stopped halfway through the Tenant era and it looks like it's only gone downhill since then.
I liked femdoctor actuallyBut I already checked out of DW around Capaldi
>>221781720I watched the first Jodie episode and realised I’d outgrown the show. That was almost a decade ago
>>221781777Yeah you didn’t miss much desu>>221781821Wish I did that, the whole series after Capaldi was a waste of time, not even so bad it’s good
>>221781720When Smith became the Doctor (and Moffat the showrunner), he’s just too cringe for me
>>221781867Capaldi was my favourite so if he stuck around longer maybe I would’ve too. But even still the show was getting too cartoon-y and cringe for me
Capaldis first episode. I was planning on giving him a shot, but not even halfway into the first episode I just had to tap out. >August 23, 2014Which means I haven't seen any Doctor Who new or old in over a decade now. Looking back it was probably the first thing I just said "okay no more of this now" to.
>>221781877>>221781931>he’s just too cringe for me>the show was getting too cartoon-y and cringe for meFair, I don’t think the show ever took itself massively seriously, but it did get a lot more cringe towards the end>>221781932Peter Capaldi’s run did have some peak
>>221781720I got fatigue somewhere around the end of Matt Smith's term, didn't continue after he wrapped up.
>>221781720Part way through Capaldi, around the time the lesbian lizard woman showed up. I'd been growing more dissatisfied since near the start of Clara's run but tolerated it until lesbian lizard.
Stupidity and momentum kept me watching all the way until the end of Capaldi's run. Should have dropped it when Clara left, Bill was so shit.
The black one. The gay black one. So this most recent season? Did it last 2 seasons? It was so bad. Worse than Jodie Whitacer. It was so bad. Space Babies? Beyond belief
>>221781720The minute it turned awful (we all know when that is)
>>221781720I started with the episode where the mannequins were aliens and I stopped at the episode where aliens were disguised as humans but were farting all the time. I don't feel I got much out of Doctor Who honestly
>>221781720I stopped watching after Whitaker regenerated into Tennant.Whitaker's era is decidedly mediocre, but it did enough things that I liked to keep me watching. Regenerating into Tennant was the point I was like "Oh, okay, nevermind". Doesn't help that Disney are pants on head retarded and disrupted the BBC/ABC pact so it was the first time in history that Doctor Who wasn't available on free to air TV in Australia
>>221782551i was getting bored during capaldi era i guess but i stuck with it. i kind of had a thing for woman doctor when she was in that other show about her kid got raped off a cliff or whatever with doctor david big dick as the cop, i thought well shes ok and i fucking hate women crying all the time which is all she did in that show so maybe she'll be good in who but i was bored to death by it so i just gave up. and then the doctor turned into a gay black guy and i was like huh interesting. definitely not going to get me to start watching it again but interesting.
>>221781720When Capaldi showed up and it stopped being about adventures in time and space and started being about clara oswald's love life drama.
>>221781720I never watched it because I'm not a mouthbreathing dork
>>221781720When Capaldi and the sheboon go back in time and the script goes full anti-White
>>221781720The Day of the Doctor and holy shit am I glad I did knowing what I do now. It's the perfect ending to Doctor Who in many respects.
>>221781720I watched through Capaldi which was a huge mistake since that last season with the lesbian negress was just terrible.
When they replaced Tom Baker
>>221781720>Series 13But that's a classic season. The Pyramids of Mars is a good story. Seeds of Doom is good too. Were you mad that Sara Jane left?
>>221784871>that last season with the lesbian negress was just terribleYeah I stopped watching as out as soon as that thing showed up because I heard the show just gets progressively worse after that
>>221781720The female doctor, though my enthusiasm was definitely already waning by the end of Capaldi. I gave the Jodi era a few episodes, but it just wasn't holding my attention at all. Way too many companions at once, too.
Why do so many people worship David Trannant so much?
>>221785071Tumblrfags think he's hot
>>221785071Because he was the best.
>>221785059>Way too many companions at onceReal, Yaz didn’t need to exist
Stopped after series 9. I liked series 9 but I just felt like the show had exhausted all its tricks and gimmicks by then. I watched the S10 finale too because it was recommended to me and it was great, I pretend the show ended there.
>>221785167lol
8 > 10Charley > RoseLucie > DonnaTV Movie > The Christmas InvasionThe Chimes of Midnight > MidnightSolitaire > The GiggleScherzo > Wild Blue YonderThe Girl Who Never Was > DoomsdayTo the Death > Journey's EndThe Night of the Doctor > The End of Time
>>221781720I watched until Capaldi left, gave Jodi the usual 4 episodes of grace to see if she managed to find her footing but that was a waste of time. The episodes were just terrible so i dropped it. I reckon the cut should be at Capaldi making his way back to Gallifrey though. It was rushed and messy and the hybrid was entirely mediocre but it was an ending.
>>221785190>I pretend the show ended there.Its a pretty good ending to be fair and Capaldi makes a great final Doctor Who
>>221781720I tried watching it but got ass blasted with British propaganda and quit that shit. Gimme a break.
Stopped regularly at The Thin Ice. You know why.Saw like two episodes of Jody. Have not seen a single Tennant 2 or Shooty, and don't particularly care to. they look insufferably naff and gay.
>>221781821Would you have felt like you'd outgrown it if it wasn't shit?
>>221785612The entire Rosa Parks episode during Jodie was a lot more offensive than that throwaway line in Thin Ice
Just kinda got bored of it when they refused to have any side characters die just makes everything feel so low stakes and phoney.They even started saying like>no one dies when the doctor's around!!Yeah much better than the weeping angels or the "who turned off the lights" scene. Kinda wish the guy went "oh no I got attacked but I'm alive I thought the lights were off but I see it was only the effect of being attacked by this here alien thing or whatever let's all make it out of this episode" and they they just waved their magic wand and the threat disappeared without any excitement.
>>221785762I didn't see that episode. I saw the one with Lenny Henry. I can remember literally nothing about it. I also saw the India one, which was like fine I guess, in spite of being incredibly bland and feeling like a C tier RTD episode.
>>221785916Chib Who wasted just about all of their guest stars>have Lenny Henry as a villain>he's incredibly boring and just kind of stands and mumbles the whole timeHow the fuck?
>>221781720Check out after Capaldi. His last season is already too woke.
>>221781932What the fuck, 2014? I swear he was the doc more recently...
>>221786578Twice Upon a Time was the last time Capaldi played the Doctor, which was in 2017
>>221781720I think right when capaldi took over. My wife got into it so I saw maybe 2or 3 iterations of the dr but I wasn’t very invested. We would typically end up having sex, so I can’t remember a lot of the stuff we would watch during that period.

>>221786737>All the Nu Who Doctors, apart from Capaldi, regenerate into or from David TennantVery grim
>>221781720I dropped it ages ago around SmithWatched the rest recently and dropped it after one or two episodes of Dr WhomanNot like it was stellar before that, Capaldi's last season was pretty ass already
>>221784965>history's a white washThat's when Capaldi's run ended.
Capaldi, the Robin Hood episode with Ben Miller
>>221781720Never seen it.
>>221781932I was like that midway through Matt Smith's final seasonI was going to tap out at the mid-season break but then it was announced he was leaving the role so I stuck it out through his finale special because he was the first doctor I watched from the beginningnever watched a second of Capaldi or any season afterward
>>221786737>make Gatwa regenerate into Billie Piper expecting to make headlines of excitement and squeeing>everyone has the exact opposite reaction and it kills the show stone deadSometimes things work out
>>221785071He was the second doctor during the reboot era so people are attached to him.
>>221781720Like halfway though Matt Smith. I meant to go back for Capaldi and Whitaker because I do like them both but never got around to it and now my strong inclination is to go back and watch the classic stuff.
It appears to be a consensus with stopping at Capaldi. Where would you start though? Because I tried the og '63 one and it sucked ass
>>221787288I just watched random "classic" stories from 4, 5 and 6. Watched all McCoy, he was good. Never bothered with 1, 2 and 3, too old.
>>221781720is she holding a glowing silver turd???
>>221781720Hell Bent was so bad I couldn't do it anymore
>>221787288For Nu Who there's a two main jumping on points>Rose (2005) First episode of Nu Who>The Eleventh Hour (2010) Matt Smith's first episode and the start of Moffat's era For Classic Who just pick a Doctor that looks interesting and watch some of their stories. Don't try watching them all in order unless you really want to, because you will get burnt out
>>221787288If you want to watch the complete seasons, I’d probably start with Christopher Eccleston, and then you can watch the good bits from old who after
Now instead of a new special they're switching to planning a full series The earliest they could release it is 2028, the 65th anniversary of the show
I stopped after Matt Smith's final episode. I like Capaldi but I just wasn't into it.I was with my parents one day and saw it was on a channel and said we could watch it, and it was so embarrassing to watch with other people it kinda ruined it.
>>221785169Yes she did, but they should've depicted full on lesbian sex from minute one.
>>221787053You can only nostalgiabait for so long
>>221787288it depends to what degree you like slightly rickety old sci-fi shows.The 70's stuff is a lot more approachable than the 60's stuff, and the 80's stuff is kind of a fascinating trainwreck.The TV movie is also kind of a fascinating trainwreck. Eccleston is good, and then the rest of the reboot happens.
Billie was the wrong choice, only one way to save this dumpster fire
>>221789066Undead Clara already has a Tardis and an immortal companion and is whizzing round the universe.
>>221789297That'd be an awkward renion
What's the secret ingredient? Should they have gone the Hinchcliffe-Holmes way of 'scaring the little buggers'?
Never started, should I?
Which Tardis inside was the coolest looking?
>>221784496nuWho is mostly terrible. It has two or three good episodes tops per season and the rest is garbage.
>>221790088Four's secondary interior if only it had an actual time rotor. Otherwise it has to be Eleven's first interior. It's so wonderfully asymmetrical and alien. The reveal in The Eleventh Hour is great too - we finally get to see it at the same time as Amy, who has been imagining and waiting for this moment most of her life.
>>221781777not only fpbp, but also smartest who watchereverything else is disappointing with only a modest blip from karen gillan
>>221790002>Classic Who is infamous for making you "hide behind the sofa">The scary/horror based episodes are usually the most beloved in any era >Zoomers love Horror Its so bizarre that showrunners don't focus on this aspect of the show
>>221781791>I liked femdoctor actuallySickie
>>221781720I've watched all of it multiple times. Just finished the Dominators last night and I'll be starting up the Mind Robber so brace for that Zoe ass
>>221781720Capaldi. I was really looking forward to a change with the actor, but the writing started to vacillate. Understand, that with *so much canon* already thrown overboard, the boring static companions and then the Jodi thing just killed the franchise. >>221784955>Were you madNot that anon, but personally no because she was always getting in trouble and calling for help and being a hindrance. When *Leela* left however, I was absolutely fuckign destroyed.>>221790002Every single story can’t save the fucking universe. Save a town. Save a little kid. Save a relationship. Save some bugs a billion years ago that eventually become the Ood. Whatever. But for the love of fucking god [Spoiler] timelords come from a loom. and so do timeladies. /spoiler
>niggas watched all the way through the garbage that was the trannant era>all of a sudden smith and capaldi "eww this is bad writing i have standards now"
>>221781720I stopped watching basically on Peter Capaldi's final season. That's the only TruNuWho season I still need to actually watch.I got no problem with transexuals, but the authoritarian leftist stuff of that era is just so aesthetically displeasing. An authoritarian right is bad too. I'm a Libertarian.
Whatever happened with the Billie Piper regeneration? I haven't watched this show since 2008.
>>221791685Tennant is the best Doctor of the NuWho era.My list;1. Tennant2. Matt Smith3. Capaldi4. Eccleston
>>221791825>Tennant is the best Doctor of the NuWho era.If you're trans, sure.
>>221781720I stopped watching after Gatwas first season, because the RTD2 had episodes that were just cringey and bad. Chibnall was bad but it was atleast watchable and not giving me second hand embarrassment.
>>221790378They're terrified of making it genuinely dark after the backlash against the first Capaldi series.The BBC seems to be married to the idea now that DW is some kind of "life affirming" show about kind of intergalactic social worker going around and being everyone's best friend, and frankly that's not what DW is.
>>221791908>They're terrified of making it genuinely dark after the backlash against the first Capaldi series.Fucking cowards would not have lasted with Colin Baker's first season
they gotta make a Doctor Who reboot 'NuNuWho' ( reference to New New York )Where the Doctor wakes up deep in the Tardis without much of his memories and has to reclaim his TARDIS. And there's a mysterious woman in this maze who is the TARDIS herself. And he loves her.
>>221791941tumblr spazzed out and didn't want to admit they were only into Tennant and Smith because they wanted to fuck them, and then they made up all kinds of copes about the show being "mean spirited" and "toxic". We're still living in the aftermath of that.Women ruin everything.
>>221781720A few episodes into Capaldi's run. Missy was cute but not enough to keep me watching. Plus the full woke shit basically kicked into high gear (history is a bit of a white wash hurrrrr durrrrr) so I'm glad I bailed and never looked back.
>>22178177711th doctor Matt Smith was kino. You could safely stop after that. His relationship with Rory and Amy (prime Karen Gillen) was wholesome and somewhat tragic.
>>2217817202nd episode with the zesty black doctor, I'm sorry, but my doctor doesn't have sugar in his tank, it's just stupid. Yes I even enjoyed the Jodie era, for me she was very cute and the novelty of a female dr worked for me.
>>221781720About halfway through Capaldi, I remember it really dropping off after Series 9. I think when Bill showed up.I've been binging nuWho with my girlfriend who had quit before Smith finished and my god Series 8 fucking sucks. The heavy handed, hypocritical blatant anti-soldier rhetoric in every damn episode is getting really tiresome. We wait for it to pop up and groan every time it's mentioned, which is every episode. I get that apparently it was happening around the time of the UK in Afghanistan and people were mad, but fuck, it just comes across as mean spirited now. I just wanted to show her Heaven Sent and River's final episode but I don't think we'll make it through these badly written, heavily opinionated stories.
>>221787371Especially after Heaven Sent. What a letdown. I just stop watching after Heaven Sent now, pretend the whole series ends on the cliffhanger that he finally rediscovers Gallifrey.
Nuwho faggots are pathetic and I laugh at them
Nuwho retards think that version of the Doctor is the ideal and when it deviates they have a meltie
>>221791825I would've liked a longer run with Eccleston even though he supposedly wanted nothing to do with it and they were starting to do the "I'M THE DOCTOR AND I'M THE GREATEST THING IN THE UNIVERSE" crap with him. Which I guess to be fair can probably be traced back to Tom Baker. Even with Pertwee's chop socky it wasn't really until Tom Baker that the Doctor started acting like nothing can touch him. It's easier to just write off with Tom Baker as the Doctor putting on a front and shielding himself again similar to how Troughton acts extra retarded to make people underestimate him but sadly I think I stuck and just kinda became part of the character. But even with Tom Baker you can get some amusing bits like Romana knowing stuff he doesn't, etc. The general point being it's the sum of the Doctor's parts that makes him and he doesn't always have to be the biggest genius in the room EVEN THOUGH THAT'S ALSO SOMETHING THAT TENDS TO GET LOST GOD DAMN ITNEVER WEED A WEED AND THEN START INCREASINGLY ANGRILY TRY TO TALK PASSIONATELY ABOUT DOCTOR WHO ANON IT'S A RECIPE FOR DISASTER ALL I KNOW IS TROUGHTON BEST DOCTOR
>>221787772Just finished Spearhead from Space and starting The Silurians. I've noticed a lot of Pertwee's stories are 6+ episodes. Do they mostly keep up the momentum or is it lazy padding (War Games nearly broke me with the back and forth but a very satisfying ending pulled it back from the brink)
>>221781720I was only up to s10 so I recently DL everything again and got up to s13 and it went so downhill with her, I just gave up. Shame I really wanted to see the ending.
I think they knew from the start the doctor only had 12 regenerations in him before it all went to shit.
>>221795537S7's long ass serials are actually very well paced
