Doctor Who

Just watched the last episode, very much wanted to avoid spoilers.

Well, seems Russel dusted off his legendary "RTD Big Red Reset Button™". What a shame. Pretty rubbish ending lol
 
I agree. This has been the first series in a very long time where I've enjoyed every single episode.

It’s a shame that there are rumours that Disney will not renew their deal with BBC, and we’re likely looking at at least a two-year gap before any new Doctor Who. It feels like the show has gotten into a good rhythm in this series.
 
I don't know,4 out of 6 storeys have had exactly the same storey arc:

Man feels betrayed, man gets bitter, man seeks revenge, man harms others, doctor hates man, doctor lectures audience about why ego is bad.

It's not a sentiment I disagree with in terms of raging online toxicity these days, but man it's lazy! Think bigger RTD!
 
It's found an unexpected rhythm. I see the gentlemans point about 4 and 6 having similar plots. I felt four was clever, to use a former companion to bring down something other than the Doctor. Ideally, I don't think you bring the doctor in at all at the end. I am guessing BBC and Disney want the actor they are paying big money for. I don't think either episodes where lazy. We have a couple of weeks left to see why these two episodes mold into the final plot.

I have been happy with this series. The episodes have flowed well. The series plot has hasn't been over bearing and allowed good story telling. Ncuti Gatwa has proved to be a very good choice for the role and the current companion is actually decent.

As I have said above, it feels like the series was twenty years ago.

It's amazing how the similarities between the old and new series have come around. It was at the 20 year stage the BBC started to get fed up with the original series. This version of WHO is now only 5 years short of lasting as long as the original and it would seem to be at a similar cross roads.
 
Agreed, long-time DW fan here; I was quite disappointed with last year's season but I've loved all 6 episodes of this year's so far.

Hoping they can now deliver a good finale!
