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: Season 10

Hey Guys,

this season of Doctor Who started really good. The stories were not bad and Bill is an amazing companion. But than again there is the big storyline and again it is about the Master. Sorry i really loved the Master and i loved Simms Master but this Missy story got on my nerves…
Make the Master good… really why… Simms Master already had his moment of change. It was when he died for the second time. And i was already annoyed that they brought the Master back after that but just to tell the story again?

I actually don’t want to say to much about this season. Because of the reason that i just don’t have much positive things to say and i hate my own negative. Also i already said all that stuff in the last season. Because it is all the same again. But at least he didn’t destroy the cybermen further.
But than again there was an easy way out. I don’t get why he always brings Companions in situation were there is no way out to just find a way to reverse it. There is not always a way out. Sometimes people just die… that is live and you have to deal with that.
I really hope that the next season will be better.
Even when i am sad that we have to deal with a new Doctor, a new companion and a new writer.

Doctor Who: S10x01/02

Hey Guys,

Doctor Who is back on again. I wasn’t really excited about this season. Truth be told i thought about not watching this season and just start when Chris Chibnall is taking over. Season 9 of Doctor Who was soooo bad and the two christmas special were soo boring that i had very low expections.

So why watching this season when i am so disapointed in Doctor Who for seasons?

Because i am one of the watchers that don’t think you can start with any season. I am a watcher that think that Everything the Ninth Doctor was he was because of the War Doctor. Everything the Tenth Doctor was get backs to what the ninth Doctor was going through and so and so. I am not a fan of Matt’s Doctor but he was the logic developement from the Tenth Doctor.
I think that everything that makes the Doctor the Doctor is found in the season before. So if i just don’t watch a season i miss a part of who the new Doctor will be and i just can’t do this. I watched every freaking Doctor and i didn’t love all of them but i always loved the show and Moffats nearly ruined it for me. I know there are people out there who loves what Moffats did to Doctor Who and that is there right. Also i don’t think that he is a bad writer for single episodes i just don’t think he can write an overall story i like. Also he has a different way to see the Doctor than me.
For me the Doctor never was a hero… for me he will always be the grumpy old man, who run away with his granddaugther and learnt from two amazing teacher that you should help people. He is deep down a good person. He believes in the good but he also knows how the world function. He knows that sometimes there need to be sacrefices. He was a person who never looked back on the sacrefices he made to save himself and his companions or he couldn’t stop looking back.
Sometimes he is a lonely god… but never a hero – or at least not in the way most people use it.
There was always a time something doesn’t sit right with me. I disliked the third Doctor but the way he was with his family with UNIT made him grown on me even when i disliked his character. I was so annoyed by the fourth Doctor. The way the epiosdes with the sixth Doctor was made was just horrible and boring to watch.

I never stopped watching i don’t stop now and i got surprised

Like i said i had so low expections. But episode were not bad. I was surprised in a good way. There is a few stuff i don’t get or don’t remember. That promise thing. Who did he promise to stay on earth – i tried to remember if he promised Clara or Me – but after that he already traveled with River and with Nedal. Soo i just feel like i forgot something.
Apart from that the first episode was really not bad. Losing Clara and River had changed him and i like the way he tries to make Bill – the new companion – stay save. Of course it never is going to work. Both stories function pretty good and the best thing about them is there is no big bad thing. It is just different.

A new student

I liked Bill from the start. She is totally sympatic and speaks her mind. Sometimes there are silly questions and she get stuck on the smallest things but that is what i love about her. We are in a colony away from earth with emoji robots with out any sign about life and she hangs on the fact he has two hearts. So yeah i really like her. Everything i heart about her before was that she was a lesbian – point taken i didn’t informed myself about anything about the season. The first lesbian in the TARDIS as a companion. My first thought was that why the first one? Doesn’t nobody remember Tegan and Nyssa?! But yeah they never said that they were together. They just always seemed like it.
My second thought was who cares. Don’t get me wrong this isn’t about the fact that she is a lesbian. This is about the fact that it was said like it was a characteristic. With Clara there were words like smart, adventures… and with Bill lesbian? If she likes man, woman or both has nothing to do with her character and that is what didn’t sit right with me – like i said i didn’t informed myself so maybe there were really characteritcs know.
But Bill is amazing and her character is great.

The episodes

The story of ‘the pilot’ was good. I liked it. What i didn’t liked was the way the Daleks were used. It was just unnessassary and doesn’t make them scary again. Also i am happy that they are not more in the episode because i am afraid what Moffats will do to them next. He ruint my favorite enimies and make them a laugh number. He rewrite the story to make Davros bad… and totally changed the way the Daleks were made… but this is another theme.
Beside the Daleks the story were great.
The story of ‘Smile’ was good too. I hate the idea of the emoji-robots. I am really annoyed by the emojis in general. But the idea is great and like the way it is told. It has no surprising turns but it is sad and human. The robots reacted more human than it is said in the story. Feelings are always very difficult and the way it is dealt with in this episode is good. It will never be one of my favorite but i would watch the episode again and have fun doing it.

In the end…
