Doctor Who is a BBC science fiction time travelling show made for the entire family. It was first broadcast in 1963 and since then, it hasn’t changed much. Or has it? In 2018 Chris Chibnall took over as Doctor Who showrunner and proceeded to make the biggest changes to date. Making Jodie Whittaker’s Doctor a woman. Is this SJW’s gone too far? Or was this just a necessary change to keep the show modern and popular?
Well in this 85 minute season 11 review of Doctor Who, I go through all of that plus more bits where I look at the concept of ‘showrunning’. I say the words ‘Doctor Who’ 453 times in this video, I finally get to give Steven Moffat and Russell T Davies the respect they deserve and I open up more about my old job as an Amazon fulfilment worker.

[@nostalgiatrip1]

Just like Rian Johnson was for Star Wars. Say what you want about JJ and Force Awakens, you can tell that he genuinely love Star Wars, all its flaws and beauty. For Johnson it felt like he likes it as well maybe even love it but wants to change it completely for the sake of being different and make it "better" while ultimately leading nowhere. I feel Chibnall is the same way. Both these people either just want to be different for the sake of being different or they just don't get the franchise they have.

[@Pikabycolorz]

Yeah, I don't really know what does Chibnall liked from Doctor Who, he is just writing as if it is any other show.

[@gratuitouslurking8610]

@@nostalgiatrip1 In some ways, there's still even a bit of the 'good' in there as well, as arguably Rogue One's the best of the new lot, with some good stuff of it's own that doesn't feel like rehashes or 'subvert expectations'.

[@_l-_-l_]

​@@gratuitouslurking8610 2/3 of the original trilogy stories were about blowing up the death star, anyone who complains about rehashing story in startwars has as much idea of what makes starwars good as Rian Johnson does. It's a space opera, just like in soap operas the overall story doesn't matter it's only there so we can see characters interact, every single Iconic moment from starwars is about characters and JJ understood that's why at the end of the force awakens all you have is questions about characters, Who's snoke? who are rays parents? where is luke? ect, while when you have an generic action story like in the last jedi the only real question is "Why are they making another movie after this?" because the rebels have lost, there is no way to recover without some stupid bullshit like finding a lost rebel fleet somewhere and there are no questions about the characters. Rogue one was a good action movie, but it's not a space opera like episodes 1 to 7, Though i would be happy for them just to abandon the main series and just make decent spin offs like this and not trying to bait people in like they did Solo: The story no one asked for.

[@_l-_-l_]

​@jason lewis Well yea, it's a trilogy, he was writing it as one, the only mainline stand alone Star wars movie is Star Wars (A New Hope) because it was never intended series. Basically everything you mentioned doesn't matter, not trying to be rude but, watch the first 3 movies and they tell you fuck all about the political state of the galaxy or how they manage to build 2 death stars so quickly. Sure the prequels gave us a shit ton of lore but, people hated them...well until TFA and TLJ came out, now I only see people talking about how good they are, disney basically sat down JJ and told him to stay the fuck away from anything that even remotely looked like the prequels, so that's why there isn't even a hint of lore in the movies. JJ did fine setting everything up, it was rian that fucked it, was TFA a master piece, no but nether was A new hope which is weakest of the original trilogy and I'm not even going to mention how god awful the phantom menace was compared to clone wars and return of the sith.

[@hothotheat3000]

You know what’s really messed up? 13 uses similarly racist language to Ryan when she first meets him. She calls him “boy”, which is used racially against Black men in America.

In short, it became politically correct. That's what kills creativity.

[@sirpsychosussy]

​​​@@demitraferles7970 Not really. Firstly, I'm not sure how Doctor Who wasn't politically correct before. Like, you had that Silurian woman and the other woman having an on-screen snog in series 8, and Bill being black and lesbian, and some of the pro-worker (I can't think of a better word) lines that the Doctor had in series 10, like the bit in Thin Ice when he shuts down that posh racist guy. Secondly, I think it's just that the writing was not good. None of the characters felt like real people, or different people for that matter, motivations for doing anything important rarely made sense, the villains were uninteresting, let alone unthreatening and the dialogue was just truly _awful._ Even if the Doctor had been a guy as normal, she would have still been grossly unDoctorlike. She had giant spiders starve to death, murdered that Amazon worker guy in cold blood, got the Master sent to a concentration camp, and was utterly pathetic in hiding behind her so-called "social awkwardness" as an excuse not to comfort Graham about his cancer worries. The acting was similarly dull, although I suppose we can blame that on the absence of real characters to act out, and the music wouldn't even fit a department store lift. I can tell you, as someone who watched series 11 and 12, that it doesn't have anything to do with politics, especially not when the only things it really gets right are "racism is bad" and "climate change is bad". The show just happened to be shite.

[@juma8126]

Racism was adressed in "Family of blood", where noone believes that Martha could be a doctor, because she's a black woman. It gives her a good moment to stand her ground and is generally pretty well written.

It really annoyed me how hard people were on Moffat towards the end, sure his overarching storylines were hit and miss, but even in the weaker seasons in that respect (6,7 and 9) there were some great individual episodes.

[@digitalutopia1]

@@andybyrd4107 Moffat's troubles started with 12 - or more accurately 12 and Clara. Clara shined with 11, because they were both equally as...manic. But 12 was far calmer and poised (guitar solos on tanks not withstanding) so the two characters just grated against each other. I liked Bill, but before too long, Moffat started trying to cram 2 episodes worth of plot into a one episode slot. But overall, I agree - it was mostly Davies fans that were trashing him for the most part. Probably because he trolled them a bit with how he handled Amy and 11 (in contrast to 10 and Rose freaking Tyler)

At times, Capaldi felt like the Valeyard, which I would be more forgiving of if the Valeyard had actually been ACKNOWLEDGED while the Doctor was in his sociopathic phase. Instead Moffat waited until his last episode, long after Capaldi had grown out of that phase, to mention that the Valeyard existed and even then it was just a throwaway line.

[@DisturbedNeo]

Basically, Chibbs writes plot-driven stories instead of character-driven ones. And not only do character-driven stories work better generally, it’s especially the case for Doctor Who because The Doctor, the companions, the monster and how they all interact based on the choices and themes in the episode is kind of the whole point of the show.

[@ThatDudeWithBoobs]

Smith was my first Doctor, and I feel in love with him. Then I learned about the hate he got for "replacing Tennant", and I felt so bad for him, since he was overshadowed for a while by how he performed the role. Then I learned how practically everyone who got the role after a previous version got hate at first, then people adapted to them in time. I'm not feeling that for 13, especially after how much they've emphasized how 12 was the final form the Doctor can take. I feel like 13 is professionally produced fan fiction. Edit: Glad you spoke about the Van Gogh episode in this. Undeniably my favorite episode of the entire series. It helped me with my own depression and, though he still succumbs to it in the end, and even if it was fictitious, seeing him react to the impact his art makes in this current time gave me so much hope for my own work.

[@kolbayada4938]

because it's essentially is a fan fiction. Chibnail didn't direct the show with respect and it shows. It shows in characters, it shows in writing and it shows in ret cons. If previous ret cons while still kinda iffy at least attempted to actually somehow justify themselves, Chibnail's retcons were like "eh, whatever, I want it that way". I mean man himself said that show didn't talk about important issues. So basically everything that was written during 13th era was to "fix" this or that.

@@samuelbarber4154 it’s more the fact that the companions do not give a shit. They unwillingly got teleported into deep space, suffering oxygen deprivation, got shot at by robots, and still don’t really care or are angry towards the doctor in ANY way. They literally just accept it. There’s no character conflicts. Imagine Rose, Martha or Donna having this happen on their first “accidental” outing. The Doctor would get a right slap.

Thanks for the heads up. I only watched young Smith as the Dr, because of young Pond's incredible acting. I somehow doubted a female Dr would do well, because Chibnal is incapable of writing a strong female role. I've heard her performances were tepid. Personally, I expect an alien of the Dr's calibre to both amuse and terrify me, which is why my respective placings would be Tennant, Eccleston, then Hartnell.

Oh that’s actually interesting. The aliens could come from a planet where these hunting competitions are used to give status to different people. It would give the doctor this odd three way situation of 2 characters stopping each other from killing someone because they want to kill them themselves, while the doctor is stuck in the middle just trying to stop them both and save the person. What a fun way to introduce a new companion too, by having them at the center of a ridiculous sci fi alien society thing they can really reinforce their role as the grounded half of The Who dynamic who is meant to be a vessel for the viewer. It lets the doctor have a strong conflict and allows the doctor to have time with a new companion who can also have chances to show off why they would be a good and unique new companion. As far as concepts for an episode, and more specifically a new series introductory episode, of doctor who I actually really love this idea.

47:15 -- so wait, let me get this straight, -- the plot of this episode literally revolves around how a time traveling racist goes back in time to stop Rosa Parks from getting on that bus, because... Civil Rights movement never would've started if it weren't for Rosa Parks? Tf? As if the impossibly restrictive unbearably racist conditions of the 1950s wouldn't have inevitably caused someone else to say 'f*ck it, I'm not taking this anymore.' Jesus. What a plan there, guy. What a high stakes plot line. What a dumb freaking idea for an episode. Also yeah that's bullshit the Doc just stood there and let a companion take it, like what the hell? Doc would've been all over that dude's ass.

[@ampersandcastle1091]

Exactly, it weirdly takes credit away from the civil rights movement. By implying that the world would just be racist forever if Rosa didn’t get on the bus at that SPECIFIC time under those SPECIFIC conditions, it makes it seem like a coincidence or a spur-of-the-moment decision, not a plan that was crafted by the leaders of the movement. If the bus had empty seats so Rosa wouldn’t have had to move at that moment, she just would’ve done it on another day

[@sorryifoldcomment8596]

It's so weird! If he actually thought this through, he would go way back in time and stopped the African slave trade. 🤦Only way to stop the civil rights movement from ever succeeding is by never letting it start: stop African Americans from ever being brought from Africa. Obviously it would be more complicated, because racism would still exist. But if he made sure slavery never happened, and that the only Africans who make it to America are wealthy immigrants by choice, then that would solve a lot. Just, so so so dumb. Also a tragic lost opportunity to actually explain the truth behind Rosa Parks (she wasn't the first, it was a different woman. Rosa Parks was specifically chosen to be the first public & published example - to the media). But no, the characters all act like Rosa Parks was literally the first and a huge deal, when really it was about everyone else involved and the entire movement. 🤦

Rosa herself was made to seem almost angelic, she was literally back lit when she first appeared. She was so saintly that she also didn't seem like a real person, any more than the furiously racist towns people did. Also some of the depictions of events were misleading. The bus driver involved wasn't a screaming monster, he was more annoyed in a "look, I've got a job to do, why are you making a fuss?" kind of way according to actual accounts. It was all made very cartoonish. And the bad guy really was incredibly boring. I actually joked as I was watching "is the bad guy going to be an evil space racist?" And then it turned out he was.

perfect analysis, actually: in order to address the division in the audience, they played it as safe as humanly possible in an attempt to not piss off either side. yet ultimately what that resulted in was not pleasing either side either - EVERYONE just saw it as almost violently mediocre.

[@entertain7us148]

Dryice 2199 I spose. That was truly poetic. That was my original point tho - trying desperately not to offend anyone on either side so being just mediocre enough to actually end up pissing off both sides. If that reflects any political position at all, it’s probably centrism.

[@makara80]

"they played it as safe as humanly possible in an attempt to not piss off either side" You've got Chibnall practically boasting that a chunk of his (uniformly leftwing) cadre of writers now partly comprise of individuals hired because they ticked boxes rather than were proficient in their craft. You've got the ever noxious, charisma-free Whittaker frequently gassing on about muh feminism via interviews instead of promoting the show. You've got practically every episode of the season dedicated to ramming various facets of _far_ Left ideology down the audience's throat at the expense of the ingenious escapist entertainment they so desperately want. You've got elements of the leftwing media blatantly shilling for the show SOLELY because of _ideological_ expediency..... (phew) .....and you're intimating that Doctor Who is failing because it attempted to placate all 'sides'?! Well each to their own and all that but nah.

[@caleblim6890]

Blackman is a highly overrated YA author, and I was very surprised that they even considered her for an episode, when previously we’d had famed science-fiction and fantasy author Neil Gaiman on to write some really awesome episodes.

[@Galvatronover]

when you say "always political " that's telling stories with political commentary done right those times are gone

[@pinkchihua]

I hate the music. I hate how every episode has some statement it is making. I hate how 13 has no personality. I hate how they are wasting historical figures for shoutouts, only using them to seem ‘woke’. What was the point of Ada Lovelace being in Spyfall?! I would have loved an episode like The Unquiet Dead with her in it but the plot was so dull and lifeless. Pretty much the only thing I like about the new seasons is Ryan and Graham.

[@Noah-po2cr]

All the best episodes have a statement they’re making, especially left wing ones, it’s a big part of the shows history, the difference is just that these episodes don’t do it very well.

@@Noah-po2cr left wing yes, but still in good taste and not literally calling the other side Nazis, racist or whatever the ism of the week is, Doctor who used to respect both sides, now it only preaches to one.

[@jakechinn6561]

Just compare how 13 uses historical figures to how others use them, every episode I watch has some political message. 11 included Hitler for gods sake, they just put him in cupboard showed distain and carried on. That was a good episode. Hell there's a scene now where 13 describes her change as an 'upgrade' despite contradicting the fact that Timelords surpassed concepts like this a long time ago. It's all just a mess with the focus on a political message rather than having a good story. Have a good story then add in a political message.

[@Historyfan476AD]

@@jakechinn6561 yeah never liked how the 13th uses historical people to push agenda's. in the older seasons they where just well themselves part of the furniture.

[@chrissmith3587]

pinkchihua Ada Lovelace being in spyfall was so odd, they just seemed to clutter up what started as an interesting modern day story. Also they had Lovelace and Babbage but only treated Ada Lovelace as being important, it seems like they are trying to ignore one persons achievement so they can make a woman seem like the main creator. They were both important and deserved more than to be shoehorned in to an unrelated episode. The best message doctor who has had was Martha in Elizabethan London, mentioning that people may notice that she’s black only for the doctor to effectively say people won’t care. It let Martha be something more than her race as she could actually develop a personality, while also having a great message that you shouldn’t care about someone’s race. To compare that message with today, it’s as if we’ve taken a step backwards far from the policy of letting people be people everything is aimed at going look at that minority they need help and extra representation because they definitely are incapable of doing something themselves, then getting angry at white people for thinking this isn’t fair. It’s fine to have a message, but if you’re making people take a step back and go what you have fucked up, the best message is one that someone watching in the future won’t notice like the Star Trek kiss between Kirk and Uhura, massive then but something without knowing the context doesn’t seem unusual for the plot. The recent poisoned planet episode which SPOILERS turns out to be earth because writers are predictable, was so on the nose about climate change it’s ridiculous, we know it’s a problem don’t patronise us.

[@Folsomdsf2]

To be fair, she was following someone who did a bit of that. Guitar battles in the medieval times anyone? The problem is.. one of these was better written than the other and the actor is much better suited for it. Chibnall tried to pick up where it was left without being a good writer or having good writing staff and an actress who just doesn't fit that type of character. It's a shame, they could have done better with what they were given.

[@maxieprimo2758]

Chibnall criticized DW for not really challenging the audience way back when, and you can see how that viewpoint has influenced the latest season. Thing is, it's even less challenging now. The show just presents a black and white situation and tells you which one is the right one, then the credits role. I find it kinda funny.

[@LeafMaltieze]

Forgive me for saying this, but it sounds like politics. Remember everyone, the other side is evil, and wrong. They definitely don't all have unique and varied reasons for why they believe what they do. Every single person is either with you, or against you. There is no in-between, or gray area. Just listen to our side, we'll tell you what is right and wrong, and what to believe. Note that I'm not saying which side does this. That's because everyone does this, no matter the political side they personally adhere to. inb4 I'm obviously [insert political side opposite who ever is replying to me] so anything I say should be ignored, or is dangerous, or some other bullshit.

My father had only watched the older Doctor Who once or twice growing up as it wasn't his type of show. I urged him to watch the Van Goph episode and he teared up at the final scene. The idea that Vincet was suffering from depression yet was able to see the impact he had in the world of art is beautiful and something to speak of even though he inevitably lost his fight. The message is strong but clear and to this day remains my favorite episode.
