the best doctorPrepare for :BabyRage:
For reference I have only watched New Who, so 9th Doctor onwards.
I hate the newest Doctor Who's so fucking much.
Series 10 or so when Bill Potts came in is when it just got so bad. She was one of the worst companions with a lot of missed potential and a great actress playing her.
Then we got Series 11, dear fucking God.
Jodie Whittaker was definitely one of the best choices to have as a Doctor; She's a really capable actress, and her Doctor was the only thing I really enjoyed through the series, even if her personality could flip flop at times.
But then they fucked up her TARDIS design. How do you fuck up a TARDIS design so badly? What goes well with an eccentric character with such a strange dress sense, a cheerful and upfront personality? AN EMPTY TARDIS WITH JUST CRYSTALS AND A HONEYCOMB PATTERN ON THE WALL ISNT IT. Just absolutely no life or real thought put into it.
Then you got shit like the three stooges we got for companions; All of them were just bland and uninteresting, and their story arcs made any of the episodes that had them overcoming obstacles a total slog to watch. I don't give a shit about Yaz's heritage or her grandmother and the Pakistan-India chaos that happened. I don't want to watch Ryan getting attacked by a white guy and then threatened by a southern white cop.
Also, jesus fuck, that brings me to my next point; THE POLITICS.
Tone it the FUCK down.
I get it that Politics has been in Doctor Who for years, but it hasn't been so brash and upfront with it to the point where it holds a proper role in the fucking story arc. Like the worst offender I can remember is the TIME TRAVELING RACIST. He committed genocide or something horrible, basically a future Hitler that had an implant that stopped him from doing harm. So he went back in time, with a weapon that let him shoot objects back in time as a loop hole, TO STOP BLACK PEOPLE FROM GETTING RIGHTS, because that's where it all started going wrong. Are you fucking kidding me?
Dumbass writers that should be replaced, honestly.
I don't want to watch Series 12 solely because I don't think it's going to be any better.
