We are excited to do a special season review with special guest Disparu, (@disparutoo and twitch/disparu) #disparu
As the first season of Ncuti Gatwa as the 15th Doctor we ask whether this Doctor characterisation breaks with canon or follows the trend of each Doctor being changed and different?
We ask whether RTD has a problem with positive male characters after 9 episodes of men missing in story.
We joke about the Sutekh legacy and the excuses paraded for lower ratings.
We mix fan debate with fun and lively comment.
Just tonic after a canon-busting season!

The difficulty in coming back from this as opposed to rebooting the show after 1989 was Doctor Who was on the rise in 1989, a Doctor and companion who were popular with fans and the story ended on a positive note. Now we have a show runner and Doctor who are hated and laughable stories with nothing to recommend them.

It will take some skill and bravery to relaunch the season after this last decade of dross

Really great discussion, and brilliant to have Disparu on the panel. I've loved his reviews of this past series. I think Gary really hit the nail on the head in saying that RTD is writing Doctor Who now simply for himself and his peers. Precisely the same can be said for modern Star Wars, Star Trek, and most of the BBC's output. These are people living in wealthy, elitist bubbles, be it London or LA, virtue signalling their extreme left-wing activism for the applause and approval of each other. To them, it isn't extreme - they think apologising to each other all the time for their whiteness, using the wrong pronouns, failing to check their privilege, and all the other nonsense that goes with their ideology is perfectly right and proper. We, the audience, are expected to simply lap up the sermonising delivered from on high by our 'betters', and they despise us for rejecting it, and so the divide continues to grow. For Doctor Who, alas, these beliefs include the idea that men are inherently toxic and so cannot be seen to be aggressive, proactive, or heroic. Unfortunately, the concept of heroism itself is no longer understood by these people, hence why even when the Doctor was a woman, she was just as useless.

Glad you enjoyed the stream, and I agree 100% with every one of your well-made comments! I hadn't connected the 'toxic masculinity' concept with the 'anti heroes" one, but it makes total sense.

@@gar535 Cheers, Gary! Yes, I struggle to think of a male hero in genre tv or film that hasn't been deliberately emasculated (and therefore rendered 'safe') at this point - Luke Skywalker in The Last Jedi, Captain Picard and Obi Wan Kenobi in their respective eponymous shows, and of course the Doctor himself. Perhaps even calling him a 'madman' in a box would be too threatening for RTD at this point.

You are right as is Gary. The need for an echo chamber to just follow the group think is so sci fi really when I seek a range of views so we can debate. The truth is that Is not happening because it’s hard to find views contrary to the criticism of this series

Three ideas of why this DW is a dailure... . I believe the greatest cause of this fire series was the fact it was written by a drama queen who is in full drama queen modus operandi these days. Hence the soapie-like subplots, the over-acting and excess of everything we don't want in DW. The other aspect is the the narcassism - note in many reports how often RTD usesthe pronoun 'my' and in contexts such as 'my voice be heard...''it's my world...'. The is half a sentence he gives away the third point. 'I don't put much thought into it...Nothing is ever censored or challenged.' Well it should be. It's called a script editor and who has a job of challenging the writer. For goodness sake it's how you make good television. One could conjecture that there is a fourth componenet and that is RTD's mammoth ego and his desire to put people especially fandom into groups of the right and the wrong with no nuance whatsoever.

Nick on Boom. “…how could he step on that?”. I thought the same thing. In fact, I was thinking back on how many times the Doctor worked his way through mine fields/places like mine fields. The real Doctor has extensive experience with this sort of situation and getting companions safely through these situations. I can think of at least 5 examples off the top of my head. The first that comes to mind is the 3rd Doctor on the beach in the Sea Devils series. How did the doctor get dumb?

@gar535 3 ай бұрын

Exactly, Heather. I suggested in our Boom review that it would've made far more sense for Ruby to be the one stuck on the mine as the Doctor runs around trying to save her

Fab stream, great panel as always and nice to see disparu. Well it's over for yet another season, 40 in real money. I've seen about 32 all told, On Air, for me continuously, missing the odd one. Even today I try to find the magic in Who. This season has been patchy to say the least. I joke about it because I'll cry if I don't find a release. 😄 My last excitement for the show was Capaldi's first season, from then on anticipation set in. It's been a long trek with Jodie, 14 and now this era with a signage of roadworks ahead now. There's still all that back catalogue to rest on and enjoy, still don't know what to do for It's future. As a collector to I'll seek out the past, still lots to mine. Don't worry I'm still hooked to The Sense Sphere 😊 and Congratulations for 900 🎉🎉🎉

Until the BBC reforms it’s best for Dr Who to be taken off air. It’s no longer about writing a good adventure story. It’s about today’s Culture Wars. He, him, she, her, they, them, z etc.😢 “ Doctor, I let you go”

Jesus christ: 'if things are polarizing, we're in a healthy position'. This is deep delusion. RTD really has gone, if not heading for the funny-farm mad, power-mad. I share Nick's bitter sense of disappointment. Stabbed in the back by someone you trusted.

@gar535 3 ай бұрын

Robert, I think RTD took advantage of the rapturous ovation that most fans gave after hearing the news of his return. After all that ego juice, no wonder that he probably thought the audience would automatically love everything he did, and that he could get away with anything without blowback.

This Doctor is so "meh" that a lot of the viewers are going to "disparu"! Oh, they already have. Great analysis by the panel. I suggest a Sense Sphere on all the great Doctor Who things that could happen if the TV show was rested for a decade. I'm always reminded of Simon Guerrier's bold claim that the last hiatus was the best era of Doctor Who.

Reboot the First Doctor with David Bradley playing the part of William Hartnell's Doctor and directed by Terry McDonough, produced by Matt Strevens and writers like Jonathan Brackley, Sam Vincent and David Wolstencroft, Doctor Who for intelligent fans and all who love quality television dramas. I know Bradley is 82, but he is still acting in films, even if someone like Strevens produced a short series of quality with writers like Brackley, Vincent and Wolstencroft with McDonough as director this could save the artistic quality and character of Doctor Who from the downward trajectory it’s on at the moment under Russell T Davies.
