EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT DOCTOR WHO SEASON 2 SO FAR! DALEK RETURN? GOD OF FILM & MORE!

[@IAmOnFyre]

You make a good point. The wacky experimental episodes don't hit very hard when you don't have a more straightforward sci-fi story in the same series to contrast it with

[@mrdoctorgilmore]

I don't get this take, personally I felt the weakest stories of s1 are the obligation scripts eps Xmas, 1, 7 and 8, Space Babies is pretty much Ark in Space with Love and Monsters sense of humour. Love or hate eps 2-5, they are at least noteworthy. I guarantee it'll be the same for s2, for me, Doctor Who desperately needs creativity, not tradition.

@@mrdoctorgilmorestop moaning and enjoy it or stop watching you people are the reason the show is getting so much hate you think your helping yet you are part of the problem

[@mrdoctorgilmore]

@aaronvasseur6559 I'm not sure what you mean, I like the creative episodes of s1 and find the obligation stories mediocre, not even bad, the weakest part of the show currently is holding onto formula, I don't think wishing the show to prioritise creativity is that controversial. People are blaming s1 being experimental for its disappointing reception when the most normal scripts were the least positively received.

[@brewster_4]

I greatly disagree here. Doctor Who is a show that can literally be anything. Every single episode should be doing something radically different and experimenting. Season 1's greatest strength was how it kept breaking the formula. The words "next week on Doctor Who..." should be the most exciting words ever because there's a whole universe of possibilities. I think season 1 had plenty of straightforward stories for my taste: Space Babies, Rogue, and the 2-part finale (that's half the season right there).

[@JSP_1147]

I really, really want the Daleks to Return

[@Lucretia9000]

Yup, needed more sci-fi since before Jodie's run.

[@chrispomphrett4283]

Indeed, it's been more like a magic show at times. This Dr doesn't really do science does he.

[@TwoCentReview]

I feel like the companion to UNIT pipeline works for some characters and not really for others. It feels less interesting every time we see it and it’s happened a lot. I do like the idea of UNIT watching after people, like Wilfred Mott (rest in peace, Bernie).

[@mrdoctorgilmore]

Despite being more positive on this era, the confirmation that Belinda is just another present day earth companion has finally broken me. I already thought Ruby was derivative, but if her story had more time it may have worked, but to replace her so quickly, especially with another of this tired trope really bugs me, not because it's bad, but I'm so bored by Doctor Who being so cliche. Don't get me wrong, I'll give the season a chance, but I'm not excited for the obligation stories, which is something I'm sad to say, hopefully the mid-season experimental stories will be fun.

[@aaronvasseur6559]

Ruby is still in a lot of season 2 she will get more development this companion is probably coming in at the last last few episodes

[@mrdoctorgilmore]

@aaronvasseur6559 I know, which makes Belinda just another present-day earth girl all the more unnecessary, that archetype is already covered, give her chance to stand out.

[@bulleidsteam1814]

I’m gonna throw this theory out here, but I wonder if the theater could be connected to The gods of Ragnarok trio. There was reference of a threefold deity in LORS. Malice, Mischief and Misery, and we know Ep.2 has a “harbinger”. Unleash animation into the world as a game as a form of “mischief” perhaps. Though idk, just a guess.

[@autumnmatthews3179]

If we're going to have characters coming out of a film it was done in Torchwood season two episode From Out of the Rain

[@aaronvasseur6559]

Yes but this is more in a cup head or old cartoon style it’s a neat idea

[@davebenjamindave]

Surely Mrs Flood (Anita Dobson) is "Anita" from Joy To The World

[@Caramiela]

I really hope so! Her working in time hotel would explain how is she able to time travel

[@DanBen07]

7:26 So today Doctor Who has a video where the guy tells us some of the things that might be in the trailer and he said this might be a diner & time Vortex. So I think it could be the Diner TARDIS that Clara Oswald and Ashildr have.

[@guymadgesam24]

14:30 I've also always wanted to see more of a corrupt side to unit, it has been shown before, in Torchwood when Tosh gets imprisoned for the rest of her entire life. I don't think fans talk about it enough

[@selatidos]

I Will really love❤ if the doctor travels to skaro in the distant past ,for some reason

[@josephcooter5763]

I wouldn’t say Sarah Jane was anti-ùnit. Far from it. She got great with unit during her run on the show. She got on great with Sgt Benton and she even went so far to tease the Brigadier about being a "real," swinger.

[@mrdr0161]

I thinks referring to SJA. She doesn't like how UNIT has changed into a much more army like organisation after the Brig retired.

[@Lucretia9000]

Looks like a young Hugo Weaving screaming there.

[@kymberleyhill5181]

The old davros will have to come back if they use Daleks Daleks are evil and in a mobile travel unit(wheelchair) to get around

[@brewster_4]

Daleks aren't in a wheel chair though. Unless you count battle tanks as wheel chairs.

[@SimonPayne-je3hi]

To me DR.Who is sci-fi with Character's personal background and context to stories to bring sympathy, dredd, humour and reason to care. The Short preview for Season 2 seems to be a marked improvement on Season 1 which I felt was somewhat clumsy. I felt Joy to the World to be a fair improvement. I did feel Joy becoming a Star was too much and didn't seem to fit the danger. We need more seriousness along with the fun. Which Season 2 looks like it could bring.

[@kbg12ila]

The standalone episodes of season 1 were pretty solid... The overarching plot and mystery with the finale reveal was not. I honestly don't care about who Mrs Flood is anymore because I really doubt the answer will be satisfying.

[@teamsonicchannel4400]

the problem i found with this series was that it wasnt serious enough episode 1 snot monster i didnt like how the babies were done episdoe 2 i didnt actually mind i just hated the whole theres allways a twist song felt uneeded episdoe 3 actualy was serious and felt on the edge so good episode 4 i liked but didnt understand the whole mad jack thing episdoe 5 really didnt like the monsters were quite terryfying but i couldnt stand Dot and the whole message we look to much at our phones episode 6 had potential but i didnt like the idea of cosplaying aliens i was hoping for something more like the clockwork droids where it was a disguise to take over the world episdoe 7/8 felt really rushed sutekh should have been written better like why have sutekh allways been with the tardis and not that he latched on during wild blue yonder

[@Dalekzilla]

I would love to see the Daleks just one more time before Doctor Who goes bye-bye again (for a couple of decades this time?), but I doubt very seriously we are going to see a Dalek episode in Series 2.....that would have leaked long before now.

[@monkeyatanofficedesk9253]

Doctor who ain't going anywhere anytime soon

[@Dalekzilla]

@monkeyatanofficedesk9253 Believe me, I hope you are right, but I have serious doubts. Let's pray Series 2 brings in a bigger viewership. I thought Joy to the World was fantastic, so maybe we'll get more of the same next year.

[@norfolkpyro1422]

[@joemclaughlin3385]

I hope we get a new dalek design and no more of the bronze daleks! I'm honestly getting sick n tired of 2005 daleks appearing nowadays they were really good and scary back then, but I think it's totally about time 2005 daleks retire Let us have different new design daleks RTD2 era. I didn't mind the 2010 daleks. I do like the designs except the colours it looks weird. I think the white red blue daleks are alright. But get rid of the yellow and orange daleks. Please just retire the 2005 daleks. There just not scary anymore. They're getting too old for nearly 20 years. I really hope we finally get a new dalek design in the RTD2 with Ncuti Gataw era. Please, just this time for real retire the 2005 bronze daleks forever ending them for good. we have had them for far too long! It's just that these daleks have been getting overused all over again and again! its just getting really boring nowadays they been defeated so many times that they have been treated like a joke. The daleks are not really that scary anymore like they were back in the 60s, 70s, 80s & 00's. The Cybermen have new designs! they don't keep bringing their old designs well sometimes they do for nostalgia, but they don't keep doing it like they do with the bronze daleks. Heres what I would love to see when the daleks do return 1. The new redesign daleks they could make like new special weapon daleks design alongside them. 2. Bring us back a supreme or emperor daleks back because we haven't had that in years since the supreme white paradigm dalek. 3. I love to see the daleks going underwater just like they did in the 60s once. I was thinking they could be underwater tracking down unit's submarines or their secret underwater base. I think that would look awesome 4. new thing they could do with the daleks is they could use their eyestalk as a scanner to find any victims hiding from them. 5. I love to see the daleks being so evil & scary again, taking over other planets in the universe, causing a battle to them just like they did to gallifrey in the time war. 6. Don't let the new daleks get treated like a joke & defeated so easily like they usually do. let the daleks have their way even if the doctor does stop them for now, doesn't physically destroy them yet until later new seasons. maybe the new daleks can mess with the doctor mentioning that he's the timeless child & about the flux. they could also try to travel to other parallel universes. I just hope they don't waste this new dalek design just like they have been doing with both 2010 paradigm daleks and mutant 2019/2021 daleks. We haven't seen the daleks since Jodie Whittaker's final episode in 2022 maybe in 2025 or next year or 2 I really hope we a new dalek design for good and never again of the bronze daleks they need to stop.

[@brewster_4]

I don't even think you need to get rid of the design. Just please get rid of the bronze color. Paint those old props up a bit in silver, red, and blue. Maybe modify a few pieces here and there.

[@joemclaughlin3385]

@brewster_4 Yeah, I see what you mean bronze design, but with painted props, it sounds like a good idea as long as it's different daleks with something new on them. or Maybe the new daleks could have a new futuristic design look to it with a black, silver with red, yellow, or white eyestalk.

[@jcarterla]

I think it will be meh. Disney's involvement is going to destroy it. 8 episode seasons are too short to introduce new companions because you have to get to know them to care. Go back to 14 episodes every year. Streaming has ruined everything. They force you to wait for years for new episodes because they only want new subscribers and don't care about their content.

[@mrdr0161]

Making TV takes longer, that's just a fact. Doctor who is coming out yearly. If you want 14 episode, you'll be waiting at least 2 years between seasons

@@mrdr0161 "Making TV takes longer, that's just a fact." is a vague and nonsensical statement. Plus, you have to earn my valuation of your opinion.

[@mrdr0161]

@@jcarterla "You have to earn my valuation of your opinion."?? Firstly, who do you think you are? Secondly, I didn't give an opinion. I stated a fact. Making TV takes long because of pre and post production. Doctor Who is a much bigger show than it was 15 years ago and it can't be made with a budget of a CBBC show. They need to make sets, anamatronics, costumes, props etc. And then post production can take months alone.
