>it's a "the Doctor travels back in time to prevent Brexit and Trump" episode

I still think Will Smith would have been better. It's not just time for an American, but a black American. Will would be a good fit.

tbh it doesn't really matter who the doctor is when the writing has been garbage for years now

Sounds good.

It's been trash since Moffat took over. He's been up his own arse just because he wrote like one semi decent episode in the Tennant era and thinks he can pull of Nolan tier writing when he obviously can't. The Smith/Capaldi era and the Eccleston/Tennant era are like two separate universes at this point.

I miss Russel T Davies.

p much

The weeping angels episode was good, not so much with the wibblywobblytimeywimey bollocks, but just the concept of the freezing/moving/vision/eye contact does a grand job of tapping into basic human fears. Re-using them like they were bloody cybermen just ruined the horror factor that they had entirely though.

The stuff that really killed the show for me was the absurd interdimensional ultra conspiracy bollocks with amy song river pond and whatever the fuck that part of Matt Smith was about.

So it's a shame for this lady that she's stepping into concrete shoes.

Matt Smith had a good run. It's Capaldi I feel bad for.

Ah he's fine, he's still got a list of good TV to be happy about.

He can always go back to being Malcolm Tucker.

He put a lot of effort into the role and would have been my favourite were it not for the material he was given. Aside from a few moments like Heaven Sent and the Season 10 finale he never really got the chance to shine.

Neat. Too bad Moffat can't write a decent script.

He's being replaced by Chris Chibnall in 2018

It is a case of old fans liked the old stuff, it rebooted and started off cheesy but it continually got better and word spread and people watched it

Then Russell T Davies left as lead writer and the show tanked horribly, and ever since it's just kinda been this thing that's been around and big due to Davies, but not at all worthy of a comparison.

that's what a showrunner/creative lead is

Dan Harmon, Vince Gilligan, David Lynch, etc
