TV & Film Doctor Who (Spoilers!)

[SuicideBlonde]

We are two episodes into the season, what do you think?

I liked the second episode, but not the first.

The idea of going inside a Dalek was neat!

I've never understood how or why the reptilian and the bald alien are living in the 19th century. And when did the reptilian meet the human and get married?

I know the origin story of the reptilian and the bald alien. I saw the episodes where each was introduced into the doctor who universe. But how did they get to where they are now? I don't think I've missed any episodes, so I'm confused.

The new Doctor seems kind of bland and Clara just doesnt seem to "fit" as a companion.

 

[beancounter]

And while I'm on a roll here... just what is this show's obsession with English vs. Scottish?

Besides the doctor is an alien. The nationality of humans should be of no concern to him.

I think that the writing (pacing?) is a bit clumsy but I like Capaldi's Doctor and am eager to see where the story goes. The whole "Heaven" thing is intriguing and bizzare.

Episode 3: Meh.

Robin Hood, seriously? They couldn't come up with an original story?

And just what is this "promise land" theme?

This is Doctor Who, not Lost....

 

[Misfit]

I like the new Doctor but I have to watch each episode twice to get all the humor because he talks so fast.

I am slightly disappointed in who missy turned out to be. I read that theory on a couple sites and thought that would be silly. Damn it.

Yes, the Master is supposed to be dead. And here we go again with the Cybermen.

 

[FortyTwo]

I actually don't mind that the Master is back, because the Master is one of the Doctor's permanent villains, even if the end of the last story arc where he died was absolutely perfect and incredibly emotional.

I am annoyed that now she's just another one of Moffat's spunky sexualized female villains.

And I'm starting to just learn to put up with the oversaturation of Cybermen and Daleks in the new series, because it's clear we're not going to get a reasonable amount of them in story-friendly doses until someone else takes over.

I don't like Clara. I think she's boring.

 

[AeryFairy]

Great big 'meh' for pretty much this whole season.

Except the episode with the Foretold, that was pretty cool.

 

[FortyTwo]

I don't like Clara. I think she's boring.

I feel like if we didn't keep getting The Girl Who Saved The Doctor And Time And Space Super Super Really Important On The Brink Of Infinity as the companion, Clara might not be quite as boring.

But yes. Agree. Same old, same old.

 

[FortyTwo]

Well, that was morbid and emotionally devastating.

Standard fare at this point.

 

[beancounter]

That episode was very lame and disappointing.

I hope this means the end of the Clara era, and a new companion next season.

I've gotten kind of complacent when it comes to Moffat stories not being internally consistent or even really making sense.

I like Clara. But I also have accepted that Moffat is the worst when it comes to character development, and particularly sucks at lady characters, so the last several seasons I've tried to look past the character as written and at how the actor is portraying the character. And I feel like the Jenna Coleman is working the hell out of a shittily written role.

But yeah. Was pretty upset with the ending of the season. Boo.
