This is my attempt to revive this page a little!
Two things:
Numero uno – What do you all think of Bill?
Not gonna lie, when I first watched her, I thought season 10 was the worst of the ones I had watched (I was watching through all the seasons in order) and did not like her. However, after having seen seasons 11, 12, and 13, I think that she is honestly not that bad, and season 10 is miles better than the ones that follow. I also adore her theme song and I think it fits her really well. 🙂
Two- What are all your thoughts on season 14?
I am incredibly excited and am sooo looking forward to it! The teaser trailer is really really good and I would recommend watching it if you haven’t because it will make you so hyped for season 14. Also guess who the Doctor is???? (No spoilers if you don’t know but look up the trailer on youtube and you’ll soon find out 🙂 ) I’m a tiny bit worried about the companion they decided to bring back because their arc was complete in my opinion, but at the same time, I trust RTD…
-Bill’s fine enough. She had a lovely personality, and a low-key iconic dynamic with our favorite Time-lord [ig. DO NOT, IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, PUT THE POPE IN MY BEDROOM]
– I’m hoping the 14th season will be a good run, of course, but I am afraid, very afraid. It’s great that they hired a better writer, but there’s more to a well-produced show then decent scriptwriting. There’s good directing, editing, acting etc etc and so far the current team has proven they don’t know how to do Dr. Who. I’m terrified that even if he does produce decent scripts, they’ll find a way to ruin it.
Also between hiring RTD, and two previously retired Dr. Who stars, it seems like after the horrible response to the 13th season their like ‘okay well let’s bring back the greats and recreate the past’ and that just…scares me.
-Oh my gosh that is bringing back memories!!! I should totally do a season 10 rewatch at some point!
-Yeah I understand that! I do think the BBC is producing some really good shows, such as Line of Duty and The Capture so I hope they can pull off Doctor Who as well. I guess the reason they’re bringing back old characters is to increase their viewership because it’s been declining ever since the start of the 13th Doctor. And then of course they have the 15th Doctor planned and lined up which is hopefully going to be good.
Also just something else but a year ago or two I was looking through the BBC’s Doctor Who website page because I was bored and there were story stories all the writers had written during lockdown. I read RTD’s and thought it was pretty good and then I read Chris Chibnall’s and didn’t like it at all – I think I just really don’t personally like his writing style. That’s partially why I still have some hope for season 14 being brilliant. 😛 But I definitely understand the concerns!
-Season 10 low-key had some good episodes 😛
-If they are bringing back old characters to increase viewership then that makes me no less concerned.
The ‘new’ Doctor, and partern, have already had their time on the show, rehiring them seems like milking?? Idk. I equate it to Toy Story 4-completely unnecessary. Let sleeping dogs lie y’know? Bringing up the past never goes over well 😛 Any fan of a time-traveling series will tell you that much 😛
Mmm, well then, it seems like it’ll be your normal Dr. Who run then-some good episodes and some of…questionable quality 😛 We can always hope right 😛
-Yessss I remember one with Missy and also one with random numbers that everyone picked the same ‘random’ numbers in sequence
-Yeahhh I get it but at the same time I love David Tennant and Catherine Tate, so I may be biased but… 😛
It is unnecessary but if they build up a fanbase again, then they will be able to introduce new characters and actors, and I’m honestly not sure how long they would be given the funding to keep running the show for if the viewer numbers kept declining. I think this is probably their best option based on their current situation.
Also what does make me kinda worried is that Disney has now bought Doctor Who… imo Doctor Who is a very quintessentially British and BBC programme, and I honestly do not feel great about having it in the hands of American Disney. I know that BBC still has the rights to air DW in the UK, but for how long? 😛
I’m definitely hoping!!! I’ll honestly be so sad if the season is not good 😛
-That was the episodes with those mummy dudes right?
-Fair point, that probably is their best option currently. I definitely won’t mind seeing Tate and Tennant on the program again, if it’s done well 😛
Omg Disney bought Dr. Who oh nooooooo. Disney’s looking at buying the whole world, I swear 😛
-Mayyyybe? Honestly I don’t remember :’)
-Yeah same! I totally agree!
Yep, them and amazon haha
One day I swear amazon will own every shop in the world and I won’t even be surprised 😛
Hmm who’s your favourite companions and how would you rank the companions?
Rose will always hold a special place in my heart so she holds the number one favorite spot, followed by Donna, Amy, Bill, and Clara.
I honestly don’t know how I’d rank them haha 😛
I love Rose too!!
Do you not like Martha? (Me trying to figure out who’s missing 😛 )
Donna is absolutely iconic, Amy is so pretty and I love her personality, Bill I think I would appreciate more if I watched S10 again, and Clara sometimes irritates me but I like her also!
Would you get along with the Doctor if you met him in real life? Oh and a bonus thing-what would your first meeting with the Time-lord be like?
For me it would depend on which incarnation. I’d probably get along well enough with the 9th, 12th and 13th doctor, but the 10th and 11th…let’s just say I wouldn’t be able to handle them 😛 Too much energy 😛
However, I like to imagine our first meeting would be roughly the same 😛 Somehow the Doctor would end up near my place and be all ‘your in danger, do what I say’ and I’d be all ‘wait a minute mister, I just hecking met you, what makes you the authority on what I should or shouldn’t do’ and he’d probably be annoyed and say something along the lines of ‘right now I’m your only chance of survival pudding brain’ and I’d retort with ‘well right now your only chance of survival is leaving for my peace of mind. Oh and btw don’t be so sure my survival depends on you. Ya never know, maybe YOUR survival ends up depending on ME’ and ohhhhh he’d give me this look like ‘listen here, I’ve been surviving for at least half the time the human race has been alive and I definitely don’t need survival advice from YOU’ so yeah, that’s the gist of it 😛
That sounds like such a 12th doctor encounter I can’t lie 😛
I think it really depends which doctor it was as to whether I’d get along with them! I think with the 9th doctor, I would maybe say something to him, but it would probably just be in passing and then he’d move on because he was always quite busy. For 10, I might have a more energetic conversation, and if I met him, it would probably be in the middle of a sticky situation so he might try to reassure me and tell me everything will be fine but I wouldn’t believe him. 😛 For 11, I think we could have a great laugh but I honestly wouldn’t want to travel in the TARDIS – I hate the idea of going away from Earth. For 12, I don’t think we’d have a very good conversation, and it would be awkward, but Clara would probably be there and she’d be more chatty. (Don’t get me wrong, I love 12, he’s actually my favourite doctor I just don’t think we’d get on great haha plus he’s not really a person to have energetic/enthusiastic friendships like 11 & 10) For 13, I think I could chat to her because she seems quite nice but I don’t find her particularly interesting as a character.
I think I could get along better with some of the companions, but honestly if I ever met the Doctor I probably wouldn’t be able to say a word, just be like ‘hi.. oh my gosh… it’s actually you… I…” and then the Doctor would move on because they’re always busy and I’d be a little sad 😛
I have a goal to comment on every Discussion Page so even though I don’t watch/read Doctor Who I’m just going to say: Bill is cool right?
Doctor Who is a TV series! 😀
I mean Bill is a character so everyone probably has a different opinion on her! I find her okay personally, but I don’t think she had the chance to shine as much as some of the other companions because she was only there for one season. (I mean Donna was too (but is coming back next season omg!!!!!) however Donna had such a striking personality)
Don’t mind me replying over a year later 😛
Ohh, thanks for letting me know ^^
Gotcha ^^ Donna sounds really cool, and I’m glad they’re bringing her back 😀
Yes!! I enjoyed seeing Donna again in the 60th anniversary specials, along with David Tennant, and Yasmin Finney (Elle from Heartstopper)!
Is anyone else excited for the 60th anniversary specials? 😀
A little. I’m more in awe that the show has lasted for almost a century. It’s almost as timeless as it’s main character. I wouldn’t be surprised if they have new seasons coming out when my grand-children have children.
Ok guys so what exactly is dr who?
PS One thing I do know is that some certain people will get driven crazy if you rite it like that so that’s why I’m doing it 😛 LOL
Dr. Who is a show by the British Broadcasting Network that focuses on the adventures of an eccentric extraterrestrial being with a time- machine called TARDIS and his human partners. The problems they solve usually take place in the past, but sometimes he ventures to other planets [one of my favorite episodes takes place on a planet orbiting a black hole that was once home to an ancient civilization].
The title Dr. Who comes from the fact that he always introduces himself as The Doctor and never uses his real name. In fact, the true identity of the Doctor is one of the great mysteries of the show.
Wait that sounds so cool?? Where can i watch it?
Idk where to find the original series, but I used Dailymotion to watch the 2000’s version.
Thank you! ^^
so sad I can ONLY watch the Disney+ series and specials…
Hey Aquila, have you seen the newest season of Dr. Who yet? 🙂
Hello!
I have to admit that I have not – I watched the first 3 episodes then life got busy and I never came back to it! Genuinely thank you for the reminder, I’ll have to watch some of them in the coming week.
Have you seen the episodes? What did you think?
I watched a few minutes of the first one but other engagements sidetracked me 😛
Before I give a thorough analysis on my thoughts on the new season I’d have to watch all the episodes, but thus far, from what little I saw, it’s okay. Not an awe-inspiring experience that captures your imagination and leaves you in wonder though.
I felt the same about the first 3 episodes!
However I watched the 4th one last week called 73 Yards and it was really really good in my opinion. Millie Gibson (the actress for the new companion) completely carried the episode, and is really talented!
It reminded me a bit of Midnight from season 4. I haven’t watched the rest of the new season yet though haha
I can’t comment on that episode because I haven’t seen it yet rip. As of typing this, I’m working on completing the first episode. The soundtrack is decent, and I’m enjoying the new actors thus far.
”I don’t have a purpose, or a cause or a mission but I have freedom”
Definitely a quote that struck a chord with me 😛
Oh! That is a nice quote!
As of now, I’ve watched 6 out of the 8 episodes of the season. In the episode “Rogue”, there was a character who reminded me a lot of Captain Jack… who was played by the original actor of King George from Hamilton haha
Let me know what you think of the episodes as you watch them! 😀
My favourites would be 73 Yards, then Rogue. 🙂
The usual plateform I stream Dr. Who on: *is shut down*
Me: Okay fine, I’ll check out the classic seasons, particularly the season with Baker, but I dunno if I’ll find it especially entertaining.
SIxth Doctor: i’M nOt pEoPle i’M mE
Me, not even through the first episode of the 21rst season: Okay, this checks out. The sixth doctor is cool and classic who is awesome
WARNING: SPOILERS FOR SPACE BABIES AHEAD
Finished the first episode of the new Dr. Who season, here’s my thoughts:
.I must say space babies and Bogeymen was a…unique idea. Quite frankly however, a rather childish one. The story-line turned out to be very sweet but…it wasn’t Midnight level y’know? This is probably because the bogeyman wasn’t executed properly. Stakes weren’t built up, everyone sympathizes with him in the end, and he’s never shown to be an active threat. Ruby, Doc, and Eric are shown to hide from him yes, but he never genuinely pursues them. Idk, I just…I just felt like he could’ve been done better.
. ”I don’t have a purpose, or a cause or a mission but I have freedom” I loved that quote and thought that was a beautiful bit of writing. The OST throughout was gorgeous as well. All in all, definitely my favorite scene
.Everything felt rather under explained: Okay, something went wrong with the ship and everyone abandoned it. Why didn’t they make plans to go back and retrieve the children? Why did the ship go haywire in the first place?
.The new lead definitely nails it in some parts, but in others I get the impression he’s not feeling the character. He’s portrayal of the doctor definitely seems a bit calmer which I welcome. He’s okay, but gosh, I miss Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi…
This page is dead so, in attempt to keep it alive, I’m turning this into a series 😛
SPOILERS FOR DEVIL’S CHORD
Completed episode 2, here’s my thoughts/reactions:
.I adored Maestro, her dramatic flare and sense of humor reminded me of Missy. The Toymaker being her father can be taken as construed or contrived, but. I loved her okay, I’m a sucker for overpowered ancient celestial entities with a sassy streak 😭
.I almost let out a fangirl scream and burst into tears of excitement when Carol of the Bells played during that one scene. CoTB is one of my favorite songs, and it being a hidden melody containing the power equal to a celestial being just sent me over the edge. I have ASD okay 😭 😭
.I am intrigued now, what happened during Ruby’s birth? Who was there? Why? I hope this is elaborated on
.I have mixed feelings about how she was defeated. Famous music stars sending her back from whence she came makes sense, as they were affected the most by her, but at the same time it felt anti-climatic to me. I’m tired to analyse everything and determine why ATM.
.That twist at the end made me so happy. It was very cute lol.
.I might expand on this later, but it’s past 10:00 AM and right now I should retire to bed 😛
Charniadawn and Eagleflight are singlehandedly keeping this page alive 😛
To anyone who sees this and watched the show, who is your favourite Doctor Who character?
Martha!
