The New Doctor Who Showrunner is a Hack Fraud (Chris Chibnall) - NitPix 

Shut up your content sucks P.s Yes I do know this guy owns both accounts

DikPix u suck

DikPix you have no content

Batman Arkham Universe that’s the joke

I always thought you had better content, tbh.

For sure

There’s no arc in this series which it had been in EVERY series from Davies’ era

Yep

I didn't know Doctor Who was aired between two pipes.

@@OwainFrost Thanks glad someone got it.

And he Suck-Seed-ed. Chinballs is Lame.. pure Rubbish as they say in Great Britain. His secret weapon is Boring the audience, and he excels at it. That's why I call him Chinballs. Roflmao..

6 years in his case.

CHINBALLS almost did destroy Dr. Who.

Boris Johnson spent 3 years studying British politics to come up with the best way to destroy it, and the British economy.

EPIC

Well I've peaked

All that was missing was a sunglasses take and a Roger Daltrey 'YEAAAAAAH!' sting. !D Seriously, though, even I came up with a slightly more dramatic ending for the episode that fits in with its own theme -The Doctor pulls wires and sonics connections and frantically frenagles the second pulse synced with the end of the countdown to normalize the cube victim's heartbeats, the only problem being that he's had to guess which of the pulse emitters three frequency channels the first wave of cubes is locked to., and if he gets it wrong, he may just trigger the second wave. Doctor: So, crunch time. Fire the pulse, I risk killing another third of humanity. Don't fire the pulse, I let the first third die. What do I do? As his hand hovers over the big switch and the countdown ticks away, Rory and Amy place their hands over his in solidarity, a responsibility they will share, i.e, the Power of Three. Simple enough.

Sadly, this seems to be what is happening.

No, I think there are more people blaming the writing now... The "Female Doctor" haters didn't see that coming ^^'

@JoeRingo118 Except series 10 had Bill, who was supposedly an "agenda pushing" companion, and it ended up being one of the better new Who series, so really diversity has nothing to do with episode quality. Shit writing is shit writing, and series 11 would have been lacklustre trash if it had been four cishet white dudes in the TARDIS.

@JoeRingo118 it isn't though, there is nothing wrong with a female doctor, he's female because the doctor regenerated into a woman, now if the show was constantly going on about how great is is because the doctor doesn't have a dick, then you'd be right, but the show doesn't do that. Chibnall just can't write a good story but there's nothing bad about a female doctor

@JoeRingo118 Except that's not really the case? Hi, it's me, your local massive SJW, who thought the Ghostbusters 2016 trailers looked naff, and that the "It's About Time" marketing campaign for Series 11 was self congratulatory wank, and that the series itself was overall wank. Just because I'm a hardcore feminist doesn't mean I excuse shitty writing in progressive media, in fact I'm much more likely to be critical of it because, in my opinion, there's a shortage of media that represents women and minorities well. Blatant tokenism and corporations trying to look progressive really pisses me off, because it's taking up space in the cultural zeitgeist that could be used for actually well written stuff like the She-Ra reboot. Basically, people you disagree with aren't predisposed to be mindless drones who like whatever media pays lip service to their values /rant

everyone: - looks at timeless children - yeah... But is it worse than fucking up canon?

Simply Danny Man I think it’s more about consistency, the character established after the time war.

JAMES WE'RE GOING TO BE KILLED Maybe it is consistent, maybe he is gradually becoming more ruthless... ...enter, cowardly, pixie doctor. Nvm 🤷‍♂️ Consistency of sick.

And the Timeless Child lark confirms that he misunderstands the main character!

The 5th Dr doss murder the cyberleader and the 6th poisons shockeye

Actually this one isn't Chibbers' fault. The actor of Cube Man outright refused to cooperate and deliberately ruined takes, to the point where they had so little usable footage that they CGed him into a hologram and had the Doctor magic wand an ending. Chibbers is a terrible writer but this one really isn't his fault.

I just want to say that I absolutely adore the term "Tesco Palpatine"

I actually liked the episode until the ending, the countdown was fine cause I expected it to pay off. But i guess a satisfying ending is too much too ask for.

Weren't the people also under cardiac arrest for longer than 20 minutes, and should therefore be suffering from permanent damage, even if their hearts rebooted.

More like Anakin Skywalker under the helmet.

I love your videos!

And it doesn't get better

Oh my god, it’s llama human

Oh how fun, I saw Jay's 5-hour-breakdown on why Chibnal Who is bad, and then come here to review why Chibnal Who always has been bad, to find Jay has left a comment. Lovely.

You're a man and always will be!

Jodie's performance has hardly been great, you can see through her "acting"

Jodie hasn't impressed me. The doctor is safe, unchallenging, her dialogue and actions have been dull and a bit of a dim blonde stereotype. Jodie is playing that and I feel she is as uncertain as her doctor about it. The anger is wooden and the timing feels scripted, two drafts. I don't understand the loyalty to the Chib because her chance for a meaty role is shallow, by numbers disappointment. I wish I didn't have this opinion, this feeling.

@@CCrohny she might be struggling under the lame script.

"Jodie's performances have been great" All I saw was this chick running around making faces, yelling incoherent nonsense and waiving her Harry potter wand around. Oh by the way I am an American I cannot understand 2/3 rds of what anybody is saying in this DR WHO thing, it might as well be French; no wait I speak French, scratch that ; I might as well be is Liverpool OUi oyu croui mou, oouut Scrou oooip noiret.

You remember the opening scene from "It Takes You Away" where the Doctor picks up a pile of dirt and eats it? That frozen Norwegian dirt had more charisma than Jodie.

omfg yes! I legit just rewatched doctor who from season 5 to season 8 and guess what? All the episodes that i skipped are in this video. : ^ )

@VOLD GAMER The 12th Doctor, particular with Bill, had several "woke" episodes actually.

agreed. anything else that happened after that isnt canon to me;( especially timeless child

Lol so true

IIRC, that Doctor wanted to just not regenerate, and simply die. Maybe, that's what he actually did!

me :(

At least Power of Three isn’t the very worst Nu Who anymore. You have a whole 2 seasons worth of shit to pick from.

@@CraigTulloch It wasn't the worst, Love & Monsters, and Kill the Moon were the worst... also Dinosaurs on a Spaceship Of course now the Timless Child is the worst by way too far. Ouch

L̶a̶d̶y̶ Fox Ŵøłfæ Well Live and Monsters and Kill The Moon weren’t that bad. Neither one of them made me want to stop watching the show. 1 season of Chibnall stopped me watching a show I’ve watched since Pertwee’s debut.

@@CraigTulloch Yeah I know, season 11 and 12 are worse than those episodes

We can see all the Chibnal traits with this episode. Sonic is a smartphone, have to be inside by night (countdown timer, last episode had the DNA bombs), robots (why???). Plus I felt like the episode just got boring as barely anything happened. On another note: The intro is ok but it is very short. The TARDIS also seems very bland and not that exciting. It feels like a set. It dosen't feel like the Tardis.

@@Jimmy_Jones The saddest part is that the concept for the episode was actually good, the problem was the execution. The plot was all over the place: there was a race but nobody seemed to act like it was, there were too many threats solved in two seconds in a Deus Ex Machina sort of way, the scenes didn't feel like they had continuity at all, the dialogues were SO BAD (exposition after exposition without any subtlety whatsoever), there were too many themes/messages and none of them developed enough to be memorable... Also the ending didn't make any sense: - You can't both win! - What if we give you an empty, impossible-to-follow-through threat? - Sure, you can both win! - There is no hope whatsoever. The TARDIS is lost and we're doomed. - Cheer up, Doc! * TARDIS shows up out of nowhere * I LOVE Jodie and the character of Thirteen, I really like the companions, the music, the cinematography... but all those good elements aren't enough to distract from the bad writing. Good actors can only do so much with terrible lines. I hope next week is better since there's a different writer!

Flor Pusnar the music!!! That weird ambient droning is not music. It’s as bland and forgettable as everything else in this series.

@@CraigTulloch I don't dislike the new music, but it's definitely very different from what we were used to. Murray Gold's music is very extra and I love it and I really miss it

@@RUClassicallyTrained I love soundtracks and I have many favourites but when season 11 was being shown a few people were talking about how good the music was and I realised I hadn't't even registered that there was any. I listened to the soundtrack album on it's release and to say I was underwhelmed was an understatement. I should say that despite being lifelong fan of the show since Pertwee's debut episode I stopped watching. There is nothing in this show that brings me joy or excitement. Cant wait for Chibnall to go and hopefully they get someone who is competent to replace him.

I think it's fucking annoying af, so much so that I've downvoted and unsubbed.

Green Knight I had to scroll so far for this comment, I considered posting it myself :D

Yeah, he said everyone was fine at the end of the episode, and I was sat there wondering: "Uh, what about rory being erased from existence?"

To be fair, that was probably added by Moffat because it's part of the season arc. If Chibnall was left to his own devices it wouldn't have happened. It even felt like an afterthought tacked on at the last minute and somebody thought "Let's stick a scene of 2020 Amy and Rory in at the beginning so that it seems like we planned this the whole time, and do whatever the opposite of foreshadowing is." Oh yeah, the opposite of foreshadowing is screwing with the audience, by say, killing off a character and then say j/k. Something Moffat and Chibnall have in common.

Chibnall said Moffat told him to kill off Rory.

Green Knight He shouldve been the protagonist. He's the only one with flaws and development. Eleven is just an egotistical asshole as if he forgot all the development of the precious seasons because they wanted to appeal to the tumblr fans that loved Ten's wacky side but forgot that Tennant was good as the Doctor because he was very two faced - he had a fun side but hes also very tired and lacks patience after all his negative experiences and loses. Rory was always the only one with an tolerable personality and character

He says that as much as Aaron Taylor-Johnson says "Ya know". Ya know?

Mocking Doctor Who can be just as much fun as loving Doctor Who. How is that not the best fucking show of all time???

Yeah this guy seems like he can do character development ok, if nothing else

yeah moffat was good with one-off episodes (like blink and the empty child) but he cant handle a constant output of notable quality

It actually IS löike this. Moffat can write single Episodes...but NOT a Hole Serie. The other Guy can writhe a hole Serie but NOT a Single Episode...especly when he has to work with Dinosaurs on a Spaceship.

It's also worth noting that Moffat ran Sherlock, which I think is great. Maybe he just couldn't handle the output demands?

Sherlock was good until series 3 and 4 aired, which were noticeably weaker that the first 2 series. in my mind that just shows how Moffat is good in small doses, but bad as a showrunner. Maybe Chibnall will turn out to be the exact opposite of Moffat haha

Rjay_coral His best story, sure, but after the halfway mark... ("Resurrection of the Daleks" did not have as many flaws!!!)

And the "moon is an egg" one, and that forest one with the kids. Ugh.

Yeah, Mark Gatiss' episodes have been consistently bad.

whose mark gatiss? did he make Kill The Moon?

+Logan R. He was the villain in The Lazarus Experiment in Series 3, and he wrote The Unquiet Dead in Series 1, The Idiot's Lantern in Series 2, Victory of the Daleks in Series 5, Night Terrors in Series 6, Cold War and The Crimson Horror in Series 7, Robot of Sherwood in Series 8, Sleep No More in Series 9, and Empress of Mars in Series 10.

If a single person was responsible for Robot of Sherwood, Sleep no More and Empress of Mars, he must be a descendant of Typhoid Mary.

He can write an episode better than you!

​@@roosterandguppy2373 A backed-up toilet could write a better episode than Chris Chibnall.

The cube episode's third act hurt me.

I had genuinely forgotten how appalling Chibnall's Who episodes were until I watched this. Then all the pain, misery and, er, boredom came flooding back! And, as far as I can tell (I didn't watch it), Broadchurch series 2 was terrible. And even if it was all good, it has Sweet F.A. to do with Doctor Who. You may as well make the producer of Midsomer Murders the new showrunner. Anyway, Doctor Who is dead. R.I.P. .

Desperation....

Tbh, I always skipped these episodes because of how terrible they were, but now knowing that he is headwriter im scared that he will screw up the whole show.

He will.

The other writers should be able to vote him out and install their own showrunner. Right now it isn't democratic enough. The last person who was showrunner picks the next one and he has absolutely no way to be removed unless he wants to resign himself.

Russel T Davies, please go away, you have killed dead what Chibnall started.

Will Jenks moffat for you

What is wrong with you? Moffat had far more character development than RTD. RTD's characters were almost always the same, with an exception of Mickey and Donna. 9th Doctor was bitter and angry about the time war, he didn't overcome those feeling with the help of Rose. He was very bitter about Time War until the finale. There's not a single scene that proves your theory, if not The Doctor showed his anger about the Time War in the 2nd part of the series even more, in episodes like Dalek and the finale. Also "and doesn't care about anything other than Earth" obviously shows that you stopped watching the show and don't know what happens. I mean, World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls, Oxygen, Empress of Mars. It's just that the series was more Earth bound, just like series 1 was!!

MajorCvikljee so.. many... exclamation.. marks.. just step back.

Primo Zerajo there's two... two... only two

Not a single scene to support his theory? How about the guilt ridden, self hating doctor ending his tenure with the words "You were fantastic, absolutely fantastic... and you know what? So was I" This is literally explicitly stating his development! He's come to accept himself as a good person again due to Rose's help. I'm not a huge fan of the RTD era, but in terms of consistent character development he was a billion times better than "Change this characters motivations every episode for a funny joke or stunning twist" Moffat.

I'd be really interested to find out more about the production. Do you have any recommendations for where I could find out more about the episode?

Theodor George Stevan Moffat didn’t write those episodes. Russell T. Davis did.

Wan Haqeem Well Broadchurch. We have a very good example of him running a show well. Granted, coupling was apparently pretty good so. I’m doing my best to go into the new series with healthy skepticism. I’m being cautious but I’m not gonna write off a series that isn’t out yet.

I still love Moffat. Not for season 7 or 8 really. But for the Matt Smith era.

Shoot, you're right I completely forgot about Torchwood he wrote some good episodes for it and he also wrote the Pond Life short which was very fun.

Moff can still write great ep he's just shite at long arcs. Chibnall is just shite

true

Yes but, his name is still on the screen!

+The Confession Dial Both RTD and Moffat have written brilliant, exciting episodes. Many times over, in fact. Even on their worst days, their scripts have never fallen to the level of Chibnall's work for DW. IOW, it's incredibly unlikely that either writer took a great Chibnall script and turned into something inferior.

Poor Finian But, They were good enough for both Producers to make. Fault lies with both Producers. And RTD and Moffat wrote some stinkers!

Yeah but that's how most episodes are written. Very few episode are wholly the idea of the writers and separate from the show-runner, otherwise it'd be hard to plan ahead for the budget of sets and costuming. So why do other writers have greater track records?

Thats why he should stay a writer.

Tario True. Moffat was also consistent.... with excellent. Also a showrunner doesn't need to be a head writer.

moffat was a shit showrunner that insisted on having convoluted and awful foreshadowing to future episodes that made no sense existing in some episodes, like the whole river song bullshit that should have not gone on as nearly as long as it did or the whole amy having flash forward to the woman in the hatch in the wall and i dont know it just fucking sucks i hate moffat

"...insisted on having convoluted and awful foreshadowing to future episodes..." You mean "Bad Wolf," "Torchwood," "YANA," and the "Four Knocks"? Because when I hear people talk about awful foreshadowing, that's all that really comes to mind for me.

these ones werent bad...

nah thats a good thing, shows that listen to fans i.e sherlock get shitter the more they listen to them. being a commited fan doesnt make you a skilled screenwriter

Mark Gatiss as a showrunner would be worse

I've just got round to watching the first episode of Broadchurch. It wasn't good.

@The Stuff... yes, first episode is not good at all. Irritatingly unnatural. He doesn't know how to do a proper set up. But Broadchurch does get better as it moves on. This could be a problem, since with so many different stories to tell over a season, he'll have to set up characters and plot many times and that's where he really lacks as a writer.

I did get around to watching the rest of Broadchurch too. It remained not good.

The Stuff... Well, now you know for sure.

I don’t think “Rosa” was an improvement at all. The main threat was literally a space racist and it felt more like a history lesson, not a doctor who episode

Rosa was an improvement because it was the first episode this series not to be written by Chibnall.

It's great to hear from someone who is right Whittakers 13th has potential to be good, but her delivery is shit and the script is littered with a leftist agenda

"Poor character development"?! Did we WATCH the same show? They made me care about the characters I'd known for a grand total of 30 seconds, and made it clear that I should be worried about who would live and die by the end of the first episode. I don't know where you're coming from with "poor character development," but I'd love to hear your justification.

@@theillusionist1494 The characters don't really have strong motivations for their actions and their lines really haven't given much insight into who they are. With Rose we knew who she was within 2 episodes. Caring, Has a boyfriend and mom, working class but dreams of adventure. Martha was pretty well fleshed out on her first episode. Smart, hardworking Medical student who has a crush on the doctor. Weird family life with bickering parents etc. We knew everything we needed about Donna and Jack in the first five minutes so I'm not going to go into it. Amy was shown in her first episode as the first person the 11th doctor met who helped him to adjust to his new body, is engaged, brave, and doesn't take crap from anyone. I still don't really know anything about these new companions. I know Yaz is a cop, but her high intelligence wasn't shown until ep 3. Ryan is extremely monotone and even the death of his grandma didn't seem to affect him that much. I like his step grandfather(can't remember his name). He was written well. We know about his background, how he and Ryan's grandmother met, and that he's extremely loving and protective. Hopefully they will be more fleshed out. New showrunners and actors take time to adjust.

Apart from the bit about 2020 having kindles

not really, i'd take any heaven sent's scene instead of chibnal's cinematography

@@BarioIDL oh I didn't mean to imply that good cinematography in any way makes up for lack of decent plot or characters. It's an unfortunate trend in a lot of modern sci-fi, in many ways the genre is a victim of its own success. A franchise grows a large dedicated fanbase, the show is then seen as a commodity by tv and film studios that don't understand the idiosyncrasies that developed that fanbase to begin with, then produces some lowest common denominator product with an enormous vfx budget but no real story.

@@riddersjc pretty sure they can pay a good writer with that money

@@BarioIDL they could indeed.

I get what you are saying, and it is very easy to fall into a trap that a female Doctor is bad because its a her, but there are good reasons why introducing a female doctor makes me, and other uneasy. The doctor has always been a guy, and in a show where everything changes that was a nice constant, but maybe thats just the autist in me. Secondly the character of the doctor has masculine characteristics but not in the alpha lumberjack body builder kind of way, more in the Clarkson era top gear kind of way. Through this he became a role model for men who wanted to be smart and weird, now its a girl its kinda sad to lose yet another one, the BBC has lost a fair few. Thirdly there are some vague references to the doctor having 2 parents, that they were different genders and that time lords were actually very similar physiologically to humans despite an increased IQ and an extra heart. The regenerative powers were actually a side effect of experimenting with time travel. This let us relate to him despite him being very alien. Now he's gender fluid across lifetimes and has more than thirteen lives, something that pisses me off more. Finally the conclusive point is that the Doctor was supposed to die, they set him up as being a finite creature that can live for thirteen lifetimes (around 1000 years), but they couldn't let him die so now they are going to find new ways to milk him for everything he's worth and that's not actually progressive. When they get bored of female doctors, the next one will be hermaphroditic, then it will be whatever minority is edgy enough to keep the show alive. The doctor will slowly become a messy pathwork of identities, until the original content no longer makes sense. Another 50 years of this to go...

@@coolpeopleit you do know timelords have always been able to regenerate into females too? like the master into missy?

Hey Erick :) Yes I am the most entitled brat you have come across, because I called hermaphrodites a minority, I didn't specify women were, I'm not retarded! I complained about declining representation of positive masculine figures in the BBC, your response is to criticize my complaints about representation, then complain about representation... pick one of those arguments carefully. Yeah there are a lot of guys in media, not all of them are positive masculine role models, there are increasing amounts of feminine role models, good for them I hope that continues. I would also like to keep some of my role models please, you can always make more characters, like River Song. I liked River Song, she wasn't the Doctor, she added a lot to his world and his character. My main point is that they aren't really doing this for the representation of minorities at all, so they will advertise the fuck out of it without actually coming up with a more clever character like Song. Doctor Who has had a ton of essential strong female characters recently, every companion has been fiercely independent and strong willed. You don't need to give the Doctor a sex change to better represent women, they are already 50% of the two main characters! Thanks for your comment Erik, always a pleasure Scarly 'Always' ? Missy is series 7, Late Matt Smith Era, part of this video is about how that writer wasn't as effective. I don't really count that as always, unless you have a better example, please don't count the comic relief Doctor Who by Rowan Atkinson as one that was oddly appropriate satire! Sorry you don't get a separate comment, all the Best

@@coolpeopleit yeah but your comment was about how having a female doctor is bad? so ok

No my comment was on how losing a male role model for weak narrative reasons and a need to rekindle interest in a dying show was a poor decision, and doesn't improve the representation of women in media. You need well written characters to do that.

Well he's coming out tomorrow

Acrimonious Mirth I agree

I really felt that exhilaration of being an adventuring time traveler with Tenant and I felt a lot less gloom in his episodes. Maybe in the distant future, we will get that feeling again?

I was a big fan of Matt Smith, not all his episodes were good (then again, Tenant had some really shit episodes) and I found Matt's doctor to be the most interesting out of the modern iterations.

An unfortunate truth :(

Davies was a great writer, moffat doesn't get anywhere near Davies and Chippendale is a step too low even for moffat. You want female doctor to succeed, bring Russell T Davies to do her first season. He made nine, ten and influenced 11.

Oh god. This was brilliant. XD

painfully accurate

Underrated comment. I remember how after that last season I had given up on the show. But I was told that I'd love timeless child, so I gave it one last shot. Afterwards, I told them that they were without any competition the two worst episodes i had ever seen, and had permanently ruined doctor who for me.

Better writing then anything Chibnall has come up with and it's a rip off from the RTD era

Potatro tatro No, the two scientist characters in that episode had their lives changed forever.

who's Rory? I just remember the doctor looking at a crack at the end of the episode and pulling out a piece of the tardis. seriously though, I'm pretty sure that bit was written by Moffat.

+rocketcon Plus a mother has to live with the fact that she killed someone and there's set up for a potential sequel story (set in 1000 years time)

thats moffat who brought him back. not chibnall

I'm absolutely sure Rory's death was phoned in by Moffat and had no place at all on Chibnall's original script.

If only Mark Gatiss became showrunner. That would've been the safest bet.

Stillborn Rock I found Gatiss to be a worse writer than Chibnall.

rocketcon Well that's unheard of. Usually Gatiss is a bit more praised than that. Personally I quite liked his Doctor Who work.

+Stillborn Rock Eh, I didn't really like any of his episodes. The Unquiet Dead, Night Terrors, Cold War, The Crimson Horror, and the Empress of Mars I found to be quite forgettable, and The Idiot's Lantern and Sleep No More were just stupid. I like Victory of the Daleks and Robot of Sherwood better than most, though. I would have preferred him over Chibnall at the least, but he's no RTD or Moffat.

Blink is awful

Don't forgot the cyber women who looks like a sex robot

Emily Copper and they squirt barbecue sauce on her and she punches a dinosaur.

He wrote some of the worst Torchwood episodes as well. Like Day One and Countrycide. Jesus...

@@TheSmart-CasualGamer oh yeah the Sex Gas and cannibals where they all split up and get ambushed rather than you know strength in numbers. Seriously early torchwood was like an edge Lord high schoolers fan fiction

Countrycide doesn't even make sense. At the start, they can move really quickly. But later they show they are just Humans. No alien interference. If this was the case, how did they move like that?

who

That's a Moffat script that bit?

tbh none of those I thought were bad (at least to my memory). I'm hoping that he goes for a more serious tone for his run.

*looks at cyberwoman* Really?

Chaz Hinkley yeah I purposely didn't mention Cyberwoman or Day One lol they weren't so great

cyberwoman is especially worrying considering the guy who thought that costume was okay is going to be writing for a female doctor.

Chaz Hinkley I'm pretty sure Whittaker will decide her outfit. Though, I wonder what they were thinking when they gave Lisa a steel bra. Did it occur to them that Cybermen wouldn't prioritise breastal support?

They are getting a writers room.

Lance Grabow yea and it worked up until the BBC appointed a useless producer who even his friend Peter Davison admitted wasn't suitable for the job (or something along those lines) and the BBC gave up on the show.

Richard I heard that but wasn't 100% sure it was true

You do realize that shows with a writer's room still have showrunners, right?

Gary M shame you missed bill she was good

God I hated Clara so much.

Season 10 was pretty good. Season 11 is not particularly worth it.

@@gryotharian 11 and 12 were when the man hating really began. Every episode had a line here, a joke there about how terrible men are. It was a shame Capaldi had those kinds of scripts to work with, all identity politics and mary sue female characters. And now look at it, ALL of the non-Chibs writers are 'political activist playwrights' with only one of them having genre TV experience, the rest being almost entirely ultra lefties using the show to signal how woke they are for digital back pats. Its such a shame.

Mikey is right. It started with moffat. The master: "is the future going to be all girl?" The doctor: "we can only hope" That's just one example although I'm sure there are many more. I don't think it was AS bad as when chibnall took over though. I think moffat had some good episodes under his belt to balance it out but chibnall has got nothing, he's running on empty. He's got one or two decent episodes to his name and one of them isn't even from season 11. It all started when moffat took over with 11 and that's where it slowly started to go down hill. 11 and 12 had some fantastic episodes though, even during their first seasons. Jodie has had arguably one decent episode which was resolution and that's about it. And most of that is down to the fact that they brought a single dalek back and made it scary again, the characters were still dreadful and the story wasn't exactly that mindblowing. It was just fun to see a powerful dalek again. That's the only decent episode she's got in her whole season. 11 and 12 at least had good episodes ranging from ok to fantastic. OP is right. I think chibnall is using the doctor's gender change so he doesn't have to put as much effort in by making the next male doctor stand out. He can just claim boobs and diversity and it will get him in the good books of the far left. Hiding his inability to write good characters behind a virtue signalling checklist. Bad characters thrown in for the sake of ticking the boxes. Characters like martha jones were good characters and that's where diversity worked, chibnall is just throwing stuff in there for the sake of it without putting any quality in.

Chances are they didn't want to take their chances on another writer and thought Chibnall was a safe choice. Though I do agree considering he's made some of the worst Doctor Who episodes he should've been pasted over, and let go right off the bat after his first or second episode of Doctor Who.

Of please fuck No! Let the grunge era Doctor stay dead

@@Kuypers125 he was Chibnall before Chibnall was Chibnall.

@@HOTD108_ Series 9-10? You mean the 9th and 10th Doctors? I've loved all the NewWho Doctors during their time as the 'current' Doctor And when I want to revisit them That is what Netflix and cindication is for

I've been baying for Moffat's blood ever since Day of the Doctor, but I'd gladly have him back now tbh.

Russel T Davies wasn't the best, but I'll take him over Chibnall any day.

Joy Time Yeah, but since it was co-written by another writer, it wasn't as boring as the other Chibnall episodes. And Demons in the Punjab wasn't written by Chibnall at all, and it was the best episode of series 11 so far. I'm looking forward to episodes that aren't written by the fucking head writer. How ridiculous is that??

Today's episode stood out as it wasn't written by him.

@@edadankmemes I agree, it is the best episode so far, very rich in story and it is written very well. There were no holes in the story, We even got a brief story of What happened to the Stenza and why they are no longer assassins. Which is more than the other episodes.

For me, Rosa and Demons in the Punjab represent throw-backs to the original intent of the show, as a way to explore history. In Rosa it appears that they took great pains to be very faithful to the historic events, and even the dialogue, and I found the episode very moving. The relative weakness of the villain was irrelevant. These were two of the most memorable episodes of the series, IMHO. I don't have a big problem with Whitaker's Doctor (although I hope she shows some growth), but by and large, the current writing is weak. (and WAY too much reliance on the sonic!)

the worst thing is that people not on board with the female doctor will blame her and not the shit plots..

Her acting is shit, the script is worse. :)

If by "great" you mean not completely horrible then I suppose. But she has zero charisma and no stage presence. Also, the fact that she has to copy so many previous actors' interpretations of the role is very telling about hew own limited range.

@ Yes, and it's absolutely the actor's fault that she's doing it this way. It has absolutely nothing to do with the writers who were shitting themselves about having a female Doctor and decided to just play it safe. No, you're right, actors are exclusively responsible for how their characters come across.

@ "They don't control her performance or her *lines*." What are you talking about? The writers write the lines! They're writers! That's their *job!* Not only that, but they are responsible for her delivery! It will literally say in the script how an actor is supposed to say a line, so it hardly seems fair to pin that on her either! And yes, I'm aware that David Tennant masked his accent, I have no idea what that has to do with anything tho, since Capaldi turned in a fantastic performance while keeping his Scottish accent. The Doctor doesn't have to speak in the Queen's English, in fact they rarely do. Pinning the poor quality of S11 exclusively on the lead actor isn't just mistaken, it's wilfully, bafflingly ignorant. I havent a clue how you've come to the conclusion that Jodie is the showrunner, and responsible for every single aspect of the show and character, but I'd encourage you to re-examine whatever hare-brained assumptions lead to that.

Try and talk some sense into his hack fraud father. Make him realise the damage he's done to the show

Well chibnall has done some amazing stuff in torchwood and broad church. Hes a really good writer sometimes

+attckonutube Every episode he wrote on torchwood were shit, worse then dr who.

Anthony Castelluci I'm not lying, season 10 is better than season 8 and 9 combined, you should definitely watch it, its Peter Capaldi's last season too.

Thanks for the recommendation. Peter Capaldi is an awesome Doctor.

Capaldi was truly the best doctor we've had in years didn't like season 8 because the story wasn't the best 9 was alright, haven't seen 10 yet

Awww I really loved every Capaldi finale.

How was Hell Bent bad?
