Maybe I'm nostalgic and just miss the old stuff. Just wondering if anyone else felt the same!
Me too honestly, except I REALLyy loved capaldis run and miss him a lot ;__; (didnt like him at first but after rewatching, he's my fave)
there are so many things that bug me about series 11 that i just cant overlook
my grandad got me into doctor who too and even he agrees.
Hmm i just can't really get behind Chibnall's writing :')
I rather like the new doctor, i dont have a problem with her but the writer wasn't good at writing good sifi, and i think having 4 people in the tardis was too much for him to take on for his first season, would have rathered Yasmin be intro ed in the new years episode.
also missed having a Christmas episode, the new years one didn't feel like a fancy celebration like Christmas past.
there was also a lot of standing and talking, something i loved about doctor who was how alive the screen was even when he was explaining stuff, because he hardly stood still, he explained as he ran or as he blew up half the tardis.
i feel like a lot of the good press is from people who are just so hyped to have a female doctor they over look everything else, arn't big sifi fans and like that its simple, or think its good because they haven't seen how much better past sessions have been. i would have liked to seen a different writer for this next season but since that's not the case i hope he noticed where the show lacked and will be fixed for the next one.
To me the best part of the show was feeling like you where trying to find out what was going on just as much as the doctor was, it pushed you to think more but i feel like this new stuff was mostly fluff and complaining about sexism.
