Improving Disappointing Doctor Who Episodes!

[@kelprofitt]

The Lynx Africa comparison was comedy gold 🤣😂

[@custard_timelord2896]

From what you said on missy in the doctor falls, and her wierd now I'm good thing, imagine if there was a scene, where shes just in the building, theres a child, and suddenly a cyberman walks in. Then Missy kills the cyberman, not to save the child but to save herself, and the kid takes it that shes just saved her and hugs her. We could then see Missy realise what being a positive force feels like, and we see her emotions begin to turn. If you wanted to take it further you could have Simm come in, see the child and kill it for no reason, beginning Missys hate for him and basically her old self, as she begins a journey to the light. I dunno, I just thought of this and I kinda like the idea

[@thevfxmancolorizationvfxex4051]

Improve Twice Upon a Time by the following: 1. Have The First Doctor only be a cameo 2. Tie it to the Gallifrey saving scene 3. Have the whole episode take place in a purgatory-esque place that Time Lords who don't want to regenerate go to. 4. Have it only just be a 10 minute short

[@julieeverett7442]

no. How to improve twice upon a time. Cut out the sexist jokes, one or two yes, five or six, no. Leave Clara out, have each of the other doctors make an appearance, maybe see Susan again. Leave out the showing the first doctor what he will become scene. This is the FIRST doctor, he's only a few hundred years old, how would you feel if you were told youre going to live for thousands of years and become a mass murderer? Tie it in to saving Gallifrey is a good idea!

[@tomious4257]

Take Missy out of season 10, have the Master be a prisoner in World Enough and Time rather than the reason it happened. The Doctor finds him, Bill still gets converted The Doctor Falls is just following these three (Doctor, Master and Nardole) trying to escape the hospital and get back to the TARDIS Also keep the old Tenth Planet Cybermen, don't upgrade them or show the Cybus or current Cybermen

[@ftumschk]

I'd prefer to keep Missy in. I'd hate to lose the chemistry between Michelle Gomez and Peter Capaldi.

[@JoesAnimationHub]

First off an obvious one... I would improve "Dragonfire" by swapping the literal cliffhanger over with Mel screaming at the dragon (as the story was initially intended, cause the final broadcast was a cutting room c***-up according to cast and crew). I would also improve "The Sound of Drums" and "Last of the Time Lords" by rewriting John Simm as a sort of "Demon Headmaster" type character... the Jack Nicholson insanity stuff didn't really look like the Master's style to me... have him young, but not hyperactive like Tennant, I'd have him as a stark contrast... refined, smug, devious... like a cowardly snake. Probably the odd one or two Jim Carrey outburst because the "I Can See You" bit was actually funny and creepy at the same time. I think I would also rewrite Asylum of the Daleks by retconning the separation Amy and Rory were going through having them just finishing off patching things up with their love life... keep all Bronze Daleks relegated to the Asylum, having the new Paradigm (with a grandiose chrome finish) wanting the Doctor to eradicate the Daleks in the Asylum not because they were a threat with their insanity... but because they're impure compared to their own distilled pure DNA, but the Doctor befriends Oswin and he can't bring himself to kill her, despite her being turned into a Dalek... and then must choose between killing or being killed for failure himself. I would probably rewrite the Dalek prime minister as the Emperor instead as well... Have him as this giant Purple Dalek or something... Last one is a doozy... Twice upon a time, get rid of all the sexist jargon of the Hartnell Doctor... I'd rather have the 1st Doctor berate his future self in the story... have him respect Bill more, as he himself trusted Barbera the most after Susan... but I would have him berate her for calling him an "old man" as he's the youngest incarnation in terms of literal age... I would probably rewrite him slagging off the soldier for sexism, comparing such vulgar attitudes to that of Bret Vyon (whose stubbornness and foolishness was mostly responsible for Katarina's death). To put it in short... I would fix the First Doctor of something worthy of Mr. Hartnell... I would also write the regeneration into Jodie as a "mutated regeneration" after an unstable backlog of regeneration energy... adding some narrative logic to a rather obvious equity hire... making Jodie's occurrence less offending to vocal members of the fandom.

[@jons355]

Wish your videos were longer! I’d have happily watched 30 minutes or more on this.

[@peterthompson1989]

I hated how rassilon was changed to be just another time lord in hell bent. I didn't mind Bill not seeing herself as a cyberman in the doctor falls as I felt it made it a bit sad with her not realising or able to accept. I do wish we had gotten a more origin story though as it felt at times it was trying to do something similar to spare parts but I suppose the body horror element might have been too hard to do for a young audience. It is a while since I've seen it but I felt the ending was also a bit odd because maybe I'm forgetting things but didn't nardole just get left there. It just felt unfinished

[@brandonfinch9140]

Great insight. I think Moffat just got smitten with writing Clara.

[@GeorgePiazza]

Actually, Moffat wrote less scripts with Clara compared to Amy and Rory, especially in the 2nd half of Series 7. I get the impression that the writing fell off around 7 (subsequent series suffered as well); OTOH, every 'reboot' series has at least one lousy episode: Series One episodes with the Slitheen, Love and Monsters (one of the worst), Fear Her, Daleks In Manhattan, Evolution of the Daleks, 42, The Unicorn and the Wasp (arguably), The Hungry Earth - Cold Blood, Night Terrors, The God Complex (arguably), Dinosaurs on a Spaceship, A Town Called Mercy, The Power of Three (terrible ending), The Rings of Akhaten (one of the worst IMO), The Crimson Horror (also one of the worst), In The Forest of the Night, Sleep No More (flat out rubbish). Basically anything written by Chibnall, most of Helen Raynor & half of Mark Gatiss. I'd rate Series 4 and Series 6 the highest in overall quality; then again, some of the worst series have some of the best individual episodes (e.g. Blink in Series 3). It's challenging to maintain the writing and production quality for such a demanding show, especially with its long history and established world building precedents and expectations. But how Chibnall became showrunner is beyond me; he is making RTD & Moffat look great by comparison.

One of my main issue with the 13th Doctor in series 11 was that she never felt like she had lived for thousands (or more!) of years and lived through all the things that the Doctor has. If, as you say, in Hell Bent the Doctor had gotten rid of his demons by overthrowing rassillon and saving Gallifrey and then regenerating at the end, 13s character would sit much better with me

[@EmpireEmployeeRick]

I personally love capaldis finales, more than RTDs if I'm honest, hell bent is absolutely awful imo but the other finales I do enjoy or maybe the story isn't as good as it could be but it's full of brilliant moments! Heaven sent is my all time favourite story and to have hel bent he week after was just a let down, but I can't hate that finale simply because heaven sent exists haha. Also the series 10 finale is my favourite finale in all new who, excellent two parter imo and a perfect send off to my favourite doctor

[@sasesq4000]

Good video. Yeah, when they keep bringing back characters that we're lead to believe either died or moved on... is annoying... it cheapens their departure. Moffat can't make up his mind. The Doctor Falls was set up perfectly to be a big Cyberman battle finale, but just got muddled down. Moffat really needed a closer to write the endings to his multi-part stories.

[@paulhunter6178]

Missy was a mis-step and should clearly of been The Rani. Given the Rani's treatment of people in both "Mark of" and "Time of" the Rani - this seems to be another of her crazy schemes, and would have blended classic and New Who wonderfully - clearly we should have enjoyed a double bluff here with the Rani pretending to be the Master, before the Rani reveal.

Caves of Androzani- a) Real Uniforms for the Army so they don't look like construction or road workers. b) Have one of the Mercs with a weapon that can shoot long range or adapted to shoot long range. c) Buy 1960s Star Trek effects for the 1984 Execution Scene.

Father's Day: the episode that put me off watching new Who. They went back in time 20 years and Rose saved her father from being run over. This broke the rules however so a bunch of ghostly gargoyles started pulling down the buildings *Jesus fucking Christ*. I would have had the Doctor rugby tackle Rose to stop her from attempting to save her father. Then I would have had the Doctor tell her, that had she tried to save her father she would probably have caused his death.

In a parallel universe where Doctor Who was revived across the pond what American actors do you feel would be the most ..... interesting as The Doctor? Personally I can't help but feel that Peter Dinklage would make a great Doctor. Also would you want Sean Pertwee to join Doctor Who or play a Doctor? Or would it be too gimmicky?

[@Ben-vf5gk]

I love the Doctor Falls as it is. It is a clear shift from World Enough and Times they don't feel necessarily like two parts of a single story. The Doctor Falls doesn't have the same tone, but it doesn't have a bad tone. It goes from creepy to tragic. Saying it's more than sitting on a farm for an hour, is like saying all Parting of the Ways was the Doctor fiddling with building a Doomsday device for an hour that he doesn't actually use. It's not meant to be a Cybermen focused story that was World Enough and Time. It's 12, Bill and Missy's story. Missy's redemption does not come out of nowhere. It was built up over her run, and especially the later of Series 10 (it should have been present earlier not had the Vault). The Master is there for Missy's arc. Underused, yes but used very well for that purpose. Capaldi had a blow out of a finale where he acts his heart out and be the most selfless the Doctor has ever been. Bill's slowly falling to the conversion and coming to terms with what had happened is phenomenonal and much more interesting than her just being gone after the conversion. Her actual resurrection is the only thing that bogs it down. I also love the themes of preservation Vs evolution that the Master, the Doctor, Bill all contend with, it's quite meta as well cause that's an issue the show itself deals with all the time especially now we have a female Doctor. This all opinion btw, you're still getting a like.

[@simongerard7894]

Another smashing video. Merry Christmas and thanks for all the interesting content, sir.

[@JJfromPhilly67]

I should also add I was never sold on the whole "Gallery was destroyed and I did it and I am so terribly damaged and alone" crap. Then they made it worse by adding moral relativism into the mix. When Davros accuses the Doctor of turning ordinary people into warriors and killers, the original series Doctors would have thrown that back at him saying something along the lines that because of evil creatures like Davros, ordinary people, mothers, fathers, children, artists, scientists need to become warriors. Instead, the 10th Doctor hangs his head in shame. What a crock of horse manure.

[@Phoenix-bi9bn]

Damn. I knew I was in for Hell Bent but all 3? I honestly think all of Capaldi's finales are amazing. But I know what I'm in for with your videos. I like how you have different views but are respectful

[@lasercatsproductions]

Another thing I hate about Hell Bent is that the next time the Doctor returns to Gallifrey, everything he did throughout that story will need to be addressed. If they were to give us a story where the Doctor goes back to Gallifrey again, that can't really be ignored

[@DeepMoon45]

My same exact problem with the series 3 finale. Utopia is absolutely brilliant in every sense of the word and probably one of my personal favorite New who episodes, it sets the story and build up to the Master reveal so perfectly! than Sound of Drums and Last of the Timelords, besides having the fantastic performance from John Simm as The Master, really do nothing spectacular at all and pretty much just fall flat completely

@Wingy Media I have to be honest - I disagree with Mofatt... But then again, I grew up with Classic Who... And my case to the point of "Hopeful" not always being teh best way to go - That there are times where you need to subvert expectations and go for tragedy instead - I think it was Timecrash... I know it was a Peter Davidson (5th Doctor) Story... Long and the short - And whoa boy, Its the Cybermen again... Yeah, Cybermen have overtaken a ship... They will get to earth and Assimilate it... Towards teh end there is only one chance left, The ship MUST BE DESTROYED, So the Doctor and Companions set about starting a Self Destruct, but it gets damaged and there is no time to fix it as the Cybermen will break through... (Something like that... There is a convoluted set of events to make someone have to stay behind!) Adric, One of the Doctors most annoying companions to most fans... Opts to remain - The Doctor desperately wants to try and go back for him - After all, He has a Tie Machine, He can get there with seconds to spare surly? The Cybermen break through - Adric grabs his gold Badge and desperately takes down a Cyber Commander as the crew watch from the TARDIS as the ship EXPLODES! Silence... The episode finished on Adric's broken Badge and NO IDENTICAL MUSIC in the credits! Doctor Who does NOT always need to be hopeful.. In fact that sense of Tragedy makes a point - Sometimes we will lose, sometimes life isn't easy and sometimes, even with a Time Machine - You cannot win! Hope comes from finding strength to carry on in the face of adversity! NOT BY REWRITING HISTORY!

Okay, first things first: I actually do like The Doctor Falls as it felt very oppressive, emotional and I liked the idea of the Doctor defending a group of doomed strangers simply because it's the right thing to do. But here's my change: He fails. Here's what would happen: Bill stays a Cyberman, fully-conditioned and all and she evolves with the rest of them. Yes, I am implying that all of the Cybermen will turn into the 2013 variation (no Cybus though) and Bill, being the first fully converted Cyberman, becomes their controller. And yes they will turn on the Master because, as a Time Lord, they cannot convert him so they'll try to kill him instead. As before, The Doctor, Nardole and the Masters escape to the solar farm and meet with the farmers. The Doctor informs them of what's going on and that because of the time dilation, the Cybermen will evolve fast and be ready to attack the ship. Once they become the 2013 kind, Operation Exodus begins. The Master wants to leave in the Doctor's TARDIS but the Doctor reveals that they can't leave without condemning the farmers. Missy is conflicted: she too wants to leave but she feels guilty about doing so, Like before, the Doctor gives them the speech and they both leave. They get up to the main flight deck where they find the TARDIS. Like before, they kill each other because Missy changes her mind but this time, she manages to cling onto life long enough to leave in the TARDIS. Meanwhile, things are bad in floor 507. Nardole tries getting the farmers out but they are all taken by the Cybermen and Nardole dies defending them. Meanwhile, the Doctor is mortally wounded when facing Cyber-Bill and prepares to die. Missy gets him out using the TARDIS and dies soon after. The Doctor buries her on Earth or somewhere and refuses to regenerate, having lost so much that he has nothing left to live for. The TARDIS soon lands in Ypres, 1914 and a WWI captain bursts into the TARDIS, saying that he needs help, ending the episode on a cliffhanger. Onto Twice Upon a Time (yes I'm changing that too because that was pants) which shall be retitled 'Twelfth Night' because the First Doctor won't be in it. He doesn't need to be. I get what Moffat was going for, showing how far the Doctor has come, but for this story, he isn't needed (and we can be saved from those awful sexism jokes). In this story, the Captain is about to die on Christmas Day, 1914 but time stops and a Glass Woman tries grabbing him. He found the TARDIS and the Doctor agrees to help, determined to save one person before he goes. He tries taking him elsewhere but they are captured by the Testimony. As before, they are revealed to be harmless and their function is to store copies of the dead so they can live an afterlife. However, the Doctor refuses to let him return to his death and the captain is unsure as well. They go to the Eye of Orion and the Captain slowly accepts his death. The Doctor realises that if the Captain doesn't return to his time, more people will die and decides to let the Captain go. The Testimony returns him and as before, the Christmas Truce saves him and the Doctor's hope for the universe is restored. The Testimony offers to download him into their systems but the Doctor declines. Realising that there is still good in the world and that saving people is possible, The Doctor regenerates into Jodie Whitaker and she falls out of the TARDIS due to the damage caused by said regeneration.
