Doctor Who (2005)
You may be a doctor, but I am the Doctor. The original, you might say.
The biggest problem with the show is that it's inconsistent. One week you get a weak story next weak you get a masterpiece so I always say to people who want to watch the show "Don't give up, you'll like it at some point" not only because it's inconsistent but because it changes a lot. Don't like series 1? Try 5 or 2 or 10! Every weak you get a different story, first, maybe a political one, next week sci-fi concept and then a historic episode. That formula, unfortunately, does repeat sometimes.
Doctor Who is the creative show. Episodes like "Empty Child/The Doctor Dances" "Blink" "World Enough and Time" "Heaven Sent" shows Doctor Who can do horror. Episodes like "Gridlock" "Smile" shows that DW can do sci-fi. "Forest of the Dead, Silence in the Library" shows that it can do horror and sci-fi well. And so on...
However episodes like "Fear Her" "Love and Monsters" "The Lie of the Land" "Sleep No More" shows what Doctor Who shouldn't do.
Some people say that this show died with series 4, series 7, series 10 (every series I mentioned ends with Doctor regenerating... that says a lot). I keep saying "It didn't" maybe the quality dropped but it was still Doctor Who. The core belief of Doctor Who is change and that's weird given that Doctor Who fans do not like change.
And now there's the biggest change yet. 13th Doctor played by a woman. I don't get it how people can't go with it. The point of The Doctor is not that he's male the point is that he changes. He keeps being somebody else. Doesn't matter who. People say "What if we change Wonder Woman's gender." No. Point of Wonder WOMAN is that she's a woman, as I said the point of The Doctor is change. It doesn't go against the lore of the show in any way. Yes, you can say every Doctor was a white male, fair enough but he can change in anyone so changing into a woman after 13 male actors is an interesting and okay path. It's okay if people say that they don't see a woman playing the Doctor, but saying it's against the show's lore is wrong. Chris Chibnall I wish you a good luck.
Doctor Who: The Pilot (2017)
It was OK, not great but OK
After 16 months Doctor Who is back with a pilot episode. The pilot was a nice first episode of this series, it was not big and explosive as every other Moffat series opener. It was more like RTD opener, funny and not so big. It was maybe little disappointing because of this 16 months, you would expect something much bigger...The plot was okay, interesting, but the problem is that it was rushed, too short.They just bounced from one place to another. There were some really good scenes like Bill and shower, it was 'scary' and interesting and it looked good, music was also in that scene superb. Visuals were nice in this one. The planet that Doctor, Bill and Nardole visited was beautiful. Now, let's talk about music, I didn't like it so much, it was so 'childish' when Doctor goes to search for that puddle and Bill is following him and then 'A good man' starts playing... it was so off, it didn't work with it well, they tried to make it epic. Okay, so the main part of the story is Bill and I have to say Pearl Mackie is brilliant, not just she, Nardole was also brilliant I just hope that we're going to have more scenes wit Nardole and Bill they work so good together. Peter Capaldi was also amazing, he's always amazing but he really nailed it. This trio work brilliantly! Congrats to Moffat for that!
So overall it was an excellent start to begin this series. Mackie, Lucas and Capaldi were amazing, can't wait to see more of them. I just hope that stories are going to be more serious and that we are going to learn more about Nardole. This can really be an amazing series, looking forward to the other episodes!
