Rizz GAWD Lav No Cap FrFr Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Just curious, but are there any "Whovians" on here? I wouldn't consider myself one, but I loved David Tennant and I've been following this series. Not sure I love the way they're writing it but the last 3 or 4 episodes have hit a bit of a groove.

siddious Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I don't know what it is about this show but I can't seem to get into it. I keep trying to watch season 1 on netflix. Should I try watching from another season? I get the feeling this is similar to american horror story where each season is different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizz GAWD Lav No Cap FrFr Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 The season's do match up, but the reboot's first Doctor, Christopher Eccleston, is a hit or miss guy for most fans. The guy who takes his place the next season is the one who many love the most, David Tennant (including me). The writing for his time period, while goofy and quirky and really not too dark is probably some of the best of the show, and Tennant very much put his heart into the role in a way that was very endearing. The current show runner also did the writing for the doctor after him, Matt Smith, and while it was pretty good early on I think he ran out of really original ideas. I'm not a huge fan of his writing style and the way he is portraying the current Doctor is a bit annoying to me. I'm hoping after this season they bring on someone new.

Captain Clutch Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Matt Smith is my favorite, Eccleston 2nd. I'm a huge Doctor Who fan, girlfriend is too. This doctor has a lot of potential but I agree that Moffat isn't doing much with him but I hope Clara leaves soon, she isn't the right companion for him.

Rizz GAWD Lav No Cap FrFr Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 I love Clara, but I think Danny Pink is horrible, horribly written and brings her down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Clutch Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I don't really like either of em. Clara just doesn't fit with this doctor. And yeah, Pink can be a good character but he's just kind of "meh" about everything. Like the Anti-Rory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizz GAWD Lav No Cap FrFr Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 He's on a show where time and space are at your will, an he literally said "yeah I don't care about that stuff" in the last episode. Gtfo! I think Clara works, but I hate how Moffet is dehumanizing him. The whole point is he's here sharing himself with us because we mutually need one another, and bring out the best in each other. I was cool with a darker doctor, but they are taking away his endearing-ness and I don't like it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Clutch Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I think it's more of an "act" the Doctor is putting on. He's darker and he tried to act apart from it but I think it;s for the other people, not Clara. I feel like he expects Clara to understand who he really is and the whole dark thing is a show.

Rizz GAWD Lav No Cap FrFr Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 That's what I'm hoping, but so far the act hasn't really broken yet. Capaldi has a ton of range but yet it feels like Moffet limits him with his writing of the character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I try watching from another season? I get the feeling this is similar to american horror story where each season is different. The show gets better in Season 2 and really hits its stride in Season 4 with Tenant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangersRule2 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 The show is a big dropoff so far. No story arc that I can see (I'm 2 episodes behind, so maybe that changes) and the story-lines haven't been great. I got into the show when it premiered on SiFi back in 2006 with Eccleston. Never saw an episode before that. It was really good and though I was sorry Eccleston left, I got used to Tenant. Ditto Tenant leaving and Matt Smith coming on board. But Capaldi has NOT done it for me and it's not his age, it's the stories so far. Like I said above, no story arc that I can tell (i.e., BAD WOLF, the crack in the universe) but maybe we'll see some old favorites like The Weeping Angels. Also hope we see Strax, Jenny, and Miss Lizard. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Clutch Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 The only story arc so far is Missy and they've barely done anything wit hher. She's going to be big in the next two episodes but meh, it's not that interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangersRule2 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 The woman who's greeting everyone in heaven at the very end of most of the episodes. OK, I recall seeing her once, I'll have to watch the ends of all the episodes once I catch up, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
