Good good. You tried, didn’t like it. Now off you pop.

Yes, everyone is entitled to an opinion I just happen to agree with that, it is not for me so I do not watch. No need to be insulting although that seems to be par for the course on here


I did say I was in the minority

It's funny, there are people on here saying how st it was, no it really was brilliant.

Let people have their own opinions, you muppet.

And that’s irony

Is this the part of the episode where everybody thinks they're right and fk everyone else?

I thought it was great by the way.

If you don’t watch then why post here?

I don’t watch IACGMOH so I don’t post on the thread.

It used to be polite and friendly but for some reason people choose to argue and get personal now
Quite sad really

Correct. Rose got one. Donna got one. Poor old Martha.

I think Martha got Mickey but as its Mickey it's best not to say too much really

That's right. We saw them together during the 10th Doctor's farewell tour.

I watched it briefly because of favourable comments on here, I was disappointed so I will not watch in future, why is that being rude to people? We all have different tastes and I just find doctor who juvenile

So save the insults I am not interested, I try to be polite on here and respect others views, something seriously lacking on PH

I found new Dr had a strange changing accent. It seemed to switch between outer London, part of Africa, Scotland and Bristol. The internet tells me new Dr is from Rwanda then moved to Scotland.

I’ve always loved dr who and this reboot is exactly what’s needed. and I guess I’m a boomer. A trans kid and a black dr

Brilliant

Is this a new timeless child story twist? I thought the new Dr was still raised in Gallifrey and the voice has been BBC Englishx3, RSC English spliced with Brian Blessed, few more RSC lovies (one with regional representation), Scottish scottish, Scottish pretending to be English, RSC English, Shatlass and Scottish pretending to be RSC English so presume only got half the accents in the latest regen?

It does feel to me like Russell T Davies is the most inspiring Dr Who writer for a long time.
The reboot he has inspired was really very good.
New Dr shows promise, in that small glimpse we had. Looking forward to the next one!

It’s quite possible!

Those are disabled Daleks.

Every Dalek is disabled isn't it? Without their mobility buggies to provide life support they wouldn't survive.

Are then not technically an cyborg the same as the cybermen - ie a combination of biology and technology and unable to function without either part?

edited to change android to cyborg

I thought this was the best episode so far. The only quibble I had with it was using the Avengers tower for Unit. But as Disney now owns MCU it's hardly surprising they might reuse stuff.

Get the doctor going all 21st century and having wheelchair access in the TARDIS!

Accessibility in the TARDIS shouldn't be a problem. After decades of it (in my memory at least) always looking the same, ever since it rebooted the interior of the TARDIS seems to have regenerated more often than The Doctor. I honestly can't keep up. I'm annoyed at myself, too, for not watching any of the recent episodes after the Donna Noble return in Star Beast. I mean to, but really I'm unlikely to bother streaming them, and I've been busy going to gigs and meals out this past two weeks, so I've missed them going out live. Some of the reviews on here make it sound quite promising, but others have me feeling I'm glad I've swerved it. Not sure now whether to catch up on it or not.

Have to say we have enjoyed them a lot. The second one was very good, IMHO. Well worth a catch-up

Yes, getting as much 'representation' in as possible is so much more important than telling good stories. It's really what the show is all about

This is exactly why woke media is going down the pan and costing companies like Disney(who ironically bought into Doctor Who recently) , hundreds of millions of dollars from failed movie projects.

The bad news is that since the BBC doesn't have to worry about making money through producing commerically popular programmes, they can keep plopping out woke turds. The good news is that increasingly large amounts of people are fed up with the insertion of agenda into everything the BBC produce these days that they are dropping the license in droves and the BBC is seeing its funding dry up that way.

It's just sad that since anything new with a woke angle just won't fly, they have to resort to taking once-beloved shows/properties and subverting them. Time was I'd be excited when I saw that an old show, book, comic or film was getting a new modern version but now I just dread what is going to be done with it.

The Daleks are gonna do a Jihad on u m8. What's the betting that Davros is actually a Palestinian?

Seeing as you don't have a TV licence feel free to jog on (as I've pointed out several times already upthread). If you don't pay your TV licence, and hence can't legally have watched it, then how can you comment on the TV show. Your anti-woke crusade is getting tiresome, especially as you seem to be getting your anger from 3rd parties.

Is this what right wing virtue signalling looks like? Woke this, woke that and woke the other. If you want prime "woke" left wing Dr Who go back to the 80's when the writers have proudly admitted their scripts were explicetly anti Thatcherite.
