DW: Twice upon a time

Hey Guys,

i finally watched the Christmas Special of Doctor Who – Twice upon a Time. There are many reason that i didn’t watched it before. At first i just forgot my Laptop so i could watch at my parents. Than a friend wrote me that her friend watched and she said that it was full of misogynist jokes. So i just didn’t watch it. Also i had alot of fears about this story and Moffats made them all real.

My favorite Doctor

Truth be told when i got be asked who my favorite Doctor is i still say it is the Tenth Doctor but i love the first one. He was soo different and grumpy and old. He was just not nice. Hartnell was perfect in this role and i was really afraid of what Moffats will do to him. First i think the Actor David Bradley did a really good job. But the way he has written… oh my god… now i hate the first Doctor. In this christmas special he is an misogynist asshole… the jokes are funny. The words ‘young lady’ feel like a … i am missing the word…

The first Doctor was an grumpy old man. Yes but he never talked to Barbara that way. He never talked to Polly – in the episode i could watch – like that. He never talked to Vicki like that. The young lady was mostly for Susan – his granddaugther – when she didn’t do what he says. Was he overprotect of her and sometimes didn’t take her serious. Yes, but this had many reason one is that refused to see that she has grown up. For him she will was be his little granddaugther.

Regeneration

The next think i hate is the Regeneration… the first one didn’t refused to regenerate. He accepted his fate. He knew he was going to die. He died because of old age. He was ready and Moffats just takes that from him.

That Twelfth doesn’t want to regenerate is okay. That i can live with. Than there is this nameless Captain that get involved in all that. And i just liked the idea that this captain was just some guy. At some point the first Doctor asked ‘why he so important’ and the answer was every is important to someone and i really liked this. But than in the end… he isn’t just one random guy. No he is the grandfather of one of the most important person in the Doctors life. Someone that new so many of regenerations and were so good friends… no random here… of course not.

Story with an anticlimax

The story was really weak. I saw the twist with Bill from start and i hate the idea of Testimony. The only thing i liked about it was that there was no evil master plan… i missed this. But Testimony can bring everyone and i really dislike that. We are more than memories. Sometimes you just has to let go of people. It is hard, but YOU have the memories about them. There is no need to bring them all back like that. But yeah we cheated death again… and we could bring back Clara… and Bill. Don’t get me wrong i love Clara and i love it when they bring people back like memories or they met again…

But i can live with the story and i can live with Testimony. Also i can live that Bill and Clara were back for the goodbye of the twelfth Doctor.

Unnessassary

What is way harder to live with is the whole unnessassary bunch of stuff… like Rusty… it so doesn’t make sense. There was so much more but i forget about it while i was writing this stuff… but in the end it doesn’t matter. I really, really dislike this christmas special… oh yeah Polly and Ben were unnessassary too… i don’t mean the original part. I mean the three seconds with new actor who looks totally unreal? Like they are wearing really bad wigs…

So yeah back to what i was saying in the end i am just happy that is over. I wasn’t a big fan of the the Doctor is a woman idea. But i am so ready for it now. She is a great actor and i can’t wait to see what Chibnall is doing with it. Maybe… Doctor will really become one of favorite shows again…

DW: Last Christmas

Hey Guys,
i hope you all had a nice christmas. I found the time to watch the christmas special of Doctor Who and to be honest i don’t know if i like it or not. It has a lot good things in it and a lot things i don’t like. So it isn’t easy to decide. But let’s just start.

Dreams

The start is rediculios. Santa is crushing on Claras roof and than the Doctor is coming and they both go to the nordpol expedition with an alien problem. I just can decide if this is just so Doctor Who or rediculios or just both. But the idea behind all that is really good. I love this theme. What is reality and what is a dream and how can you know what is real. This is really interessting.

Movie hommage?

Everyone can see that this is Alien. The monster that is jumping at the face and everything, but it is nice to watch. There are few nice dialoges and i don’t think this is a bad thing. The dream in dream thing remembers me a little of Inception and by the ‘Hohoho’ at the end i must think about Die Hard ( but this is just me – i think).
All that is not a bad think but it left me with a feeling like something isn’t right – what is maybe the best think about it, but like i sad i am not sure.

Clara and the Doctor

I love the relationship between Clara and that Doctor. They don’t can with each other and not without each other. They are lying and playing each other, but deep down the love each other and wants to protect each other. This is so realistic. The scene in the slide is heartwarming and the best in the whole movie.
I think that Clara should have stayed old. It would be a good and very Doctor ending for her. The second chance just doesn’t feel right. It feels of and yes you can say it is a christmas wonder and that we needed after all that a good ending, but i don’t think this had to be a bad end. Because Clara is strong woman and she knows that Danny wants her to live so she would have an good life even without the Doctor…
