He Who Moans Reviews: Doctor Who: The Witchfinders

It is the past and an alien race shows up and does shit and everyone thinks witches did it.

[@benoitassouekotto_7387]

Stu, you're the kind of KZbin that even when I disagree with you - which is rare - I'm still very much entertained and love hearing your opinion. Never change

[@meris8486]

I thought it was one of the better episodes of the season mostly cause of how entertaining Alan Cumming was.

[@greghawkins59]

It was decent until that alien reveal at the end 🤦‍♂️

[@90RavenBlack]

Fun fact - Alan Cumming was actually offered the role of the Doctor during the RTD era, but turned it down as he 'didn't want to have to spend nine months a year in Cardiff'.

[@ftumschk]

Cumming apparently didn't fancy the cold, wet weather, which is a bit rich for a man who grew up in Scotland. But whatever the reason, it was his loss. Cardiff's a pretty lively place, and it was good enough for Eccleston, Tennant, Smith and Capaldi.

[@joelmole3157]

So safe, predictable episodes piss you off huh? Well, I'll be interested in your thoughts on It Takes You Away given that it's... not that.

[@NoverMaC]

it was crap :P

[@Stubagful]

I've finished my script. Spoiler: I thought it was alright, I admired the ambition and a couple more drafts and I would've loved it

[@carealoo744]

Cough: 'Frobisher,' Cough!

[@DarkLordoftheMeme]

@@Stubagful Yeah, loads of people rail against that episode, I thought it was okay; it actually had a bit of suspense and tension and along with Kerblam was one of only two episodes this series that wasn't utterly predictable. That said the ending was an anticlimax, and that talking frog was fucking stupid. The Witch-finders really bugged me with its complete butchery of King James' character. The real King James wasn't a nice man by any means, but he was a canny and intelligent ruler, who kept Britain out of major European wars (preventing us getting entangled in a little thing called the thirty years war was probably a smart move, what with the whole "third of the population of Germany dying" thing) Plus he was a major patron of the arts, most of Shakespeare's most successful plays were either commissioned or endorsed by him . Oh and that line 'as King James wrote in his new bible'? Ugh! King James did not write the King James bible, nor did he claim to, it was a translation he commissioned, itself largely plagiarized from the Tyndale bible. I mention that last part because I'm apparently descended from William Tyndale's sister.

[@charlestownsend9280]

i liked that episode. also am i the only one who wasn't bothered by the frog at all? yeah it would have been cool if it was someone from the doctors past (but it's nothing new for doctor who to miss doing something like that, unless it is rose or clara) but the frog did link to the story and to me was kind of interesting that a universe would pick a frog.

[@drewandcoproductions4739]

They should have done Doctor who meets the Wicker Man

[@Casterborous]

I really loved King James, I don't think it was meant to be a serious one, Alan Cumming's performance was so campy but I loved it. I think the really big problem is that it needed a second part. Also Willa. She needed more.

Alan Cummings perfomrance was the most engaging thing in the entire season! If you don't enjoy that then that about wraps it up for series 11.

I agree with you. I don't think it's bad, and there's some very good episodes, but a lot are just plain boring. And I think that for Whitaker to shine, she needs better dialogue than what she's getting.

[@peterthompson1989]

I think the stories need more developed. Sometimes they focus on the wrong things

[@09philj]

Alan Cumming camping it up was fun and should have been in a completely different episode where Alan Cumming camping it up didn't feel as tonally dissonant. The mud zombies looked good as well, but the alien looked really shit. The rest was just painfully generic and dull. It doesn't help that Whittaker's performance is very one note and she lacks the charismatic performances and snappy dialogue that made mediocre episodes under previous New Who Doctors more tolerable to sit through. Like, The Shakespeare Code's not a great episode but David Tennant being David Tennant does serve as a distraction from it's flaws. Also did a double take when you said "Nancy from Empty Child" because it sounds a bit like "Nazi from Empty Child". Next time, a completely nuts bit of weird Who that drunkenly meanders from idea to idea, lets Bradley Walsh really flex his acting chops, finishes with a bizarre piece of imagery that is destined to become the iconic representation of Series 11, and is by far the best episode of the series.

[@her0880]

Stu is one of the only ones can actually appreciate, he's not just another idiot screaming about ratings and non existent sjw commentary every video. And he does more with his channel that makes it an interesting and engaging channel and doesn't just focus on politics in a fictional show every single second, cough cough bowlestrek...

[@PeterCamberwick]

I'm re watching all the season reviews as I really enjoy this channel. I was trying to think of something to say, to illustrate that stupid bit of Doctor dialogue about drowning or whatever it was, and I looked down the comments and saw, "It's hard being a Who fan. When you're not being burned alive, you're being underwhelmed to death.". I thought, that's the kind of thing I was thinking of. Then I scrolled up slightly and saw it was me who posted it. Lol.

[@TheJaviferrol]

If you wanna make this episode more fun aside from the Soldeedesque performance by Cumming, take a shot of booze everytime someone says Satan

[@paulflint6254]

[@benw4409]

In terms of the Doctor this is one of the best showings of Thirteen and it gave her some of the best material from a character perspective. I loved Graham and Alan Cumming but thought it would have been far better as a pure historical. I still really appreciate everything in the episode until the reveal of the aliens and do really enjoy it overall but the alien plot was really shoddily handled. The hysteria was a good enough threat. I am so interested in your opinion of the next one. It's a fascinating episode and oh boy are the fans divided. I'm in the "OMG it is amazing camp".

[@TheCrippledEgg]

I really agree. I find her far too bubbly and lighthearted, whereas Whittaker actually works best during the intense and serious moments. The part at the beginning where she goes against her better judgment to save that woman really stuck out to me as I’ve found her Doctor far too generic this series.

[@PeterCamberwick]

It's hard being a Who fan. When you're not being burned alive, you're being underwhelmed to death. :)

[@edb2863]

Personally, I find the whole episode to be a bit of a let down. As you said, missed opportunities. And they had so much potential on their hands. Felt more like a checklist than a story. And this is all coming from someone who actually liked this series

[@carealoo744]

Let's not all forget the complete waste of opportunity, in: 'Rosa,' with: 'The Meddling Monk!'

[@millievariants]

@carealoo744 But would that actually add anything to that story or would it just be a reference for the sake of a reference?

[@StefanTravis]

Chibnall era DW is just so...boring. It's not brain-meltingly stupid like his "Cyberwoman" or "End of Days". It's just dull like his "42". And his "Power of Three". And his "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship", and his "Hungry Earth" and "Cold Blood".

[@rhodriwilliams2599]

I really want it to take over as head writer/producer (because I can’t write scripts) but I know what people want from Doctor Who. We want tonal consistency. We want imagination. We want themes that intertwined with the plot as that is how you do story telling. There’s no point in telling you a plot and then going “now this is the point” it’s got to go hand in hand and work off of each other. We don’t care about the budget!!! It looks amazing now yes and I really do like it, but doctor who has never looked amazing so there’s clearly a reason people love it that’s not visuals. It’s the stories, the characters, the developments.

[@ShelledHandle]

I loved the episode right up to the alien reveal. I was super down for a pure historical

[@robd9413]

Maybe I'm reading too much into these things again, but this time the immersion-breaker was the scene between King James and Ryan. Not because, as noted, he recites Wikipedia, but because he recites it to Ryan. This is supposed to be 1612 and the Atlantic Slave Trade has been going nearly 100 years at this point, but we have the King having a chat/exposition dump with a random black guy just because a complete stranger (Graham) vouched for it. Not wanting to go too deep on this (you could write a book on how dumb this is) but it just wouldn't have happened and with this episode occurring in the same season as Rosa, it implied to me that they should have looked at some other pages in Wikipedia when writing the script.

[@TheMister123]

I agree with JackIntheBox. I love campy character acting like Cumming's. I loved his portrayal, and can forgive a bit of tell-don't-show if it means more campy acting and scenery chewing. It's probably why I enjoy the Netflix version of Lemony Snicket's A Tale of Unfortunate Events so much. (That show is so incredibly self-aware, though, that it can be a bit much for some viewers.) An episode that covers this subject, however, should have gone in a different direction. Pulling off "Camp witch-hunting" requires a team that is capable of doing so, on a show that can be expected to do such a thing. Kudos to Cumming, though, for giving us something to giggle at/with.

[@jonathanskiner4405]

I actually enjoyed this episode. Just thought the treated as a woman line was used a tad too many times. I did love king James though. Always good to hear your opinion and i can't wait until next episode.

[@sterlinghibbard7458]

It's almost like Chibs is on a tricycle dressed in full sports safety gear and also being buckled up into the back of a station wagon with some paper and a sharpie while his mum tells him that no matter what he creates it will be amazing and perfect. 🙄

[@tylerhouston69]

I've seen people call series 11 the worst series ever yet it's about as doctor who as it gets because this is exactly the kind of episode that as you said would fit in perfectly between 6-10. It feels like they just changed the paint and not the actual structure of the show ( I mean granted there's only so much you can do) But still as a series that should've been on the more experimental side, it never went beyond "huh that's kinda different"

[@mayotango1317]

No, Series 6 is so experimental and dark. And Series 9 had Heaven Sent; that was a total diferent episode.

[@chanceneck8072]

Looking back, this has been one of the best episodes of this season...

[@gallohalt]

Seemed like most people thought willow was a bad actor, like she smiling in tense scenes

[@ftumschk]

I heard some people say that, too, so I checked. As far as I could teall, it's just the natural shape of the actress's mouth, and she wasn't really smiling at all. Interestingly, many (perhaps most) people involuntarily pull up the corners of their mouths when they're crying/about to cry, which results in something that resembles a smile, without actually being one.

[@kingcrimson1467]

I thought the mud creatures were a representation of evil. A woman comes a long and in an act of anger is infected with something, she tries to cure it with good deeds but these are only pushing her to become crueller and then THE FACES OF ALL THE PEOPLE SHE'S KILLED LITERALLY COME TO HER and she admits to everything she's done but in the end it's too late and she becomes the evil she so desperately tried to fight.

[@clothcat3071]

oooohhhhhhh. See I might have got that if it had held my attention after 10 mins

[@rhetro777]

Is it really unfair to expect a show to be comparable to a good movie in this day and age? Many tv show have actually been of higher quality than movies these days Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, The Expanse, The Walking Dead(seasons 7 & 8 notwithstanding), Daredevil, and even Star Trek Discovery(far better than the recent movies). Doctor Who has going down the toilet for some years now and doesn't even measure up to it's tv peers or most B movies anymore sadly.

@@DoctorWhoHome1 I can understand that.

[@midastheunwise2423]

@@DoctorWhoHome1 Necro-ing this comment here a bit, but I totally agree. The Solitract is probably the only great idea in all of season 11, in that it has tons of potential, and they chose to spend a third of the episode in a cave that adds nothing to the plot. It could have been the basis of a Torchwood-esque mini-serial, where people discover they can visit an alternate universe that tries to keep them there by giving them what they want. Imagine if the Solitract could support hundreds of thousands of people, and over the course of a period of time hundreds of thousands of depressed, lonely people all 'disappeared' from our World to be happy. Would our society fall into a state of panic? Would everyone go over, and our World suddenly flourished while the Solitract went to shit? Would the Solitract prevent bad people going in, leaving a crime-ridden society here? These are all things I'd want to see explored, and they wasted it on a single episode, and put more screen time into flesh eating moths.

[@Videogamefanmax]

Ahh yes the witch finders, or being as the doctor who story which has a literal technolo-tree.

[@HyenaDandy]

I have some friends in Danvers and I can tell you that depending on where you're from, it can in fact be "Holy fuck that's bleak and I want to cry." It's just that these days it's fairly localized to, well, Danvers, Massachusetts and maybe other places with notable witch trials. (For those unaware: Danvers used to be called Salem Village. The town of Salem is a different political entity, and has kept its name. Which honestly works for everyone, because a fair number of Danvers-ites still feel shit about it and/or are descended from some of the people involved)

[@HyenaDandy]

Especially don't bring it up around people named Hawthorne, Horne, or Seal. Those family names are changed from Hathorne and Sewall because they wanted to sort of not discuss the whole 'Judges in the trial's thing.

[@f1lmfr3ak]

Agreed so much. I think the King was the one thing that worked, but what does it matter. We both agree only 1 thing worked and was not used well. This would have been a fit for Season 1 of New Who for christs sake. God, this season of Doctor Who was my biggest pop culture dissappointment of all time. I guess some people liked the stupid frog because they could fool themselves into believing they had witnessed the very first inklinging of creativity in the new season, but it really wasnt. Disaster of a season and by far my least favorite.

[@gallohalt]

stubagful have you ever watched the sarah jane adventures? as a classic who watched id recommend an episode called the death of the doctor. has some great moments

[@DakNJaxter]

I guess this episode lives and dies on how on-board you are with Cumming's King James. I enjoyed series 11, but the main issue I had with it, is that some episodes could be so dry. Cummings livened things up. It's the kind of daft juxtaposition that makes me enjoy Doctor Who so much. In fact, of all the episodes this Season, this is the one I would have liked to have been a two-parter. There was a perfect cliffhanger towards the end, and it would have given more time to develop the aliens and the young girl.

[@greghawkins59]

I really like King James. I get a kick out of Cumming hamming it up, but I also like that there's more dimensions to that character, and I really love the scene of him and the Doctor before her trial. Pretty much everything else about the episode is wack though. Least favorite of the series apart from the finale and Arachnids.

[@PeterCamberwick]

A kick out of Cumming? Yeah. Me too.

[@clothcat3071]

I really like a lot of these historical episodes in past seasons and I've had a real interest in the witch trials so I was super excited for this episode. I thought they might switch it up and rectify a few historical misconceptions, accuse ryan of being a witch for example but nope, same old same old with a splash of "drs a woman now" which at least hit the right spot for once lol In all honesty though I'd wigged out and started doing house work by the time... well I don't know, something about a tree?

[@MidnightChimey]

Interesting how the King James stuff seemed to garner a lot of praise from some corners, that stuff could have worked in another episode, but not here.

I did find alan cummings odd but it was the generic alien part that I hated the most. When the historic episodes got announced I worried that the show was going to be too educational. Classic who was able to teach the kids at the time but without them feeling tought but I worried it wouldn't work and would bore a lot of kids today. So I was glad when they claimed to be adding a scfi twist yet for me the scfi elements where the worst parts often feeling forced in

I was kinda waiting for you to mention James was flirting with Ryan but even with that they didn't make James gay enough to be anything more than a historical cameo (Doctor could've talked about exploits with James as a male timelord but god forbid tying this series with anything before), or was it any excuse for the lack of direction

[@The_Sober_One_LCM]

From what I've read Series 11 suffers from the same illness Series 6 Part 2 --> Series 8 & Series 10: The BBC Stepped in b/c they don't have confidence in a 55+ year old franchise and forced Chibnall, like Moffat before him to do a really down to basics form of Doctor Who, with mostly stand alone episodes b/c the BBC wants Doctor Who to be like Black Mirror since we are in. "The age of Netflix". The Black Mirror comparison comes directly from Chibnall at Comic-Con. Can I just rant about how Doctor Who, a 55 year old Science fiction drama that has continuing characters isn't Twilight Zone 4.0... I mean Black Mirror, an Anthology which introduces a new cast and premise every episode. I find it very annoying That the BBC thinks "The Age of Netflix" line and Black Mirror go hand in hand. The point of Netflix is the Binge a continuing ongoing narrative. Netflix makes a show with X amount of episodes telling 1 long story or multiple stories forming an overarching narrative and that's why people binge, they become invested in the characters and the plot - I just feel like the BBC doesn't get this. The RTD Era (and Series 5) are looked back on as the Golden years of Nu-Who because it did these things, and did them well. Ever since the BBC for some reason lost confidence in their 55+ year old franchise the quality has dipped because they keep getting involved & removed the very formula & creative freedom that worked for Series 1-5. I really feel like the Series 1-5 formula of 13 episodes with 6-7 stand alone stories & 3 multi-part stories (comprising of 6-7 episodes) with a lose plot thread a la "Vote Saxon" "Crack in Time" & "Bad Wolf" is the formula the BBC should be pushing, not this Black Mirror nonsense that doesn't allow a flowing story arc that gets views causal of die hard to find a reason to be invested.

[@mayotango1317]

The big problem is that the whole Bad Wolf formula only works in Series 1 and 5, the Torchwood arc in Series 2 is so lame like the Saxon. Series 6 even had a strong arc that this.

[@The_Sober_One_LCM]

@@mayotango1317 My point wasn't about having a story arc approach, it's about the actual format. Series 1-5 had 13 episodes with 3 two parters & 7 one offs with a loose arc, Series 6 Part 2 --> Series 8 & 10-11 had a stand alone episode (almost) every week, with various degrees of story arc implementation. By extention episode plot lines and supporting characters had little room to grow and be explained. I think Series 8 was an excellent series w/ a pretty good loose story arc, but I feel like the Series 1-5 Formula of 3 two parters and 7 stand alone episodes allows for greater storytelling capability/variety than the Series 6 Part 2 --> 8 & Series 10-11 formula of every episode is stand alone and every story has 45-50 minutes to flesh out a brand new supporting cast. IN CONCLUSION: I have a fundamental issue with the way individual episodes/stories are handled with constant BBC oversight, not the implementation (or lack thereof) of series long arcs such as: Bad Wolf, Vote Saxon, & Crack in Time. I mentioned the story arcs for the sake of having examples. I was not commenting on their individual quality.

I see series 11 as a palette cleanser its as simple as that, you had 7 years of Moffat of which the last 5 were a mess of overhyped sensationalised territory marking by Stephen and now he's finally gone we've got a fairly unremarkable showrunner who can act as a way to just neutralise all that by being inadvertently underwhelming. Also after a decade of the show and at the rate they chew up stories I'd expect the show to be plateauing by now, its not like old show its not going to go for 30 years uninhibited it will need a hiatus soon enough.

A witch hunt story I recommend is Nomad of nowhere, It's a Western Fantasy about a Nomad thats wanted for being the last magic user. You can watch Nomad of nowhere here kzbin.info/aero/PLUBVPK8x-XMh6lFZABV45mRBbsuJpXA-8

I just have to say it: Doctor Who probably isn’t for you anymore. The only thing you can do is stop watching it. Also Queen James 1 was BRILLIANT!!

Why does show have to exclusive? Isn't the point of any soft reboot to bring it to more people instead of less?

Dude The Witch was shit. The writers didn't know how to end the movie
