    I really like the 15th Doctor. Ncuti is doing a great job, and RTD really seems to know what to do with him. I really haven’t heard any complaints other than some people whining that the new season is a bit too “fantasy”, but, like, have you ever seen the show?

      I only want realistic episodes of a show centered around a godlike being that can manifest any reality they choose.

      Where’s “The Doctor has to paint a fence”, “Dr. Who and people coughing while standing uncomfortably close at the shops” or even “Dr. Who’s request for holiday got denied and now they are answering emails on a glorious day”?
      If my escapist fantasy isn’t reminding me of my dreary life, then what’s the point?

    • I dislike how the stories end. The buildup is alright, the setting’s the same. But then the ending is terrible. The Doctor isn’t being clever or smart or witty or whatever, a solution randomly presents itself and that’s it.

      It’s like, great you can move the space station by causing a burst of baby farts, but you have a TARDIS. You can take the babies yourself. You even talked about that with the only adult there! He then was soundly defeated by the Maestro, only for the Beatles to randomly show up and play a random chord? They even had a clever way to defeat the Maestro (the bubble of silence that the sonic could create), and then did nothing with it.

      It’s just so… Meh. If only they could write the Doctor to be clever again, I’d enjoy it so much more!
