Doctor Who: is this a dead show?
The most recent episodes and seasons have been so, so terrible.
Even Tennant coming back was awful.
Did BLM echoes finally kill it?
Was there ANYTHING good about the newest season?

'Weak people create hard times' now in writer form.
They can't write anymore; just references, trends and social agendas.
Coming up with an interesting story is beyond them.

Ideally should give greater weight to those who played the Doctor longer. T Baker should be the biggest contributing factor; McGann (and Eccles) hardly make a dent. Also your end result looks awful.

I haven't read it but I did watch the restored tv episodes and they were very, very boring. So probably not.

The Pirate Planet novelisation is a lot better if you want something by Douglas Adams.

in case gay activists/spies are scouring for hitpieces: no, Ncuti didn't fail Dr Who by being "too gay". You can cast Jason Stratham & it's still a DOA. Developing a pre-existing character + lores in new directions isn't just about sexual ID. You actually have to care about the char as a living breathing chess piece moving through an universe. No it's not about gays or straights as living and breathing organisms.

Dropped the revival since Capaldi, wasn't bad but I just wasn't interested in.
I saw the Tennant specials and were okay.
Coludn't pass from 5th or 4th episode from the "new season one". Were so boring. From what I heard and read was the same for the other episodes and season 2.
They sould let the show die at this point.

The show has been dead since 2017. There has literally not been a single episode that could be classified as "very good" ever since The Doctor Falls. Capaldi's era certainly had issues but it was the last time the show had meaning, authenticity, gravitas. It was the last time the plot happened for the sake of interesting plot instead of satisfying some ideology shit or trying to bait tabloids. Anyone who is sentient knows that everything after Capaldi has been performative fanfiction that just happens to exist under the same banner.

He *was* too gay though. And too African.
you can get mad at me, but it's true. The Doctor is an old Britishman, who evokes something between Merlin, and a Victorian explorer-come-scientist.
There's a point at which you bend the character too far, and people go "that's not the character", and stop watching.
This is blatantly obvious.

>is this a dead show?
probably, RTD just said he didn't know if Billie Piper was the next Doctor after showing Ncuti regenerating into her
>The most recent episodes and seasons have been so, so terrible.
Eh, second Ncuti season was fun, felt like he finally got into the groove of the character, but the ending was awful. Chibnall seasons were still worse though, he's the biggest reason the show is in life support
>Even Tennant coming back was awful.
Yeah, unfortunately. The scene that took me out of it was the Doctor not recognizing who was the real Donna, not something he'd do honestly.
>Did BLM echoes finally kill it?
No, the whims of a child killed it. Chibnall wanted to make his kid fanfic into canon and it hurt the show irreparably. The companions were garbage, the timeless child concept was garbage, the Fugitive doctor concept was garbage(even if I do like the idea of Jo Martin as a Doctor), and the actor wasn't given anything interesting to actually feel like the Doctor.
RTD coming in with his "I CAN'T LET GO OF MY SEASONS OF DOCTOR WHO" syndrome were the nail in the coffin though.
>Was there ANYTHING good about the newest season?
Honestly? Ncuti and the companion. Ruby was insufferable in the first season, but the indian chick matched Ncuti's energy very well, and he has never felt more like the Doctor. Completely different from his first season. Ending is garbage though, and it was apparently filled with reshoots

You know what was one of the biggest things that killed the show though? Changing the soundtrack. Doctor Who music should feel alien and whimsical, and what we get now, despite being whimsical, isn't very alien. It's very sanitized, somehow.

Ncuti would have been okay if he had been allowed the opportunity to play the Doctor instead of being handicapped as gay therapy man instead
