I hate about the new Doctor Who
1.It takes itself too seriously.
For a show in which is pretty much pure fantasy with very little
grounding in
actual science, it really takes itself too seriously.
2.
The Doctor is a cosmic fuckup.
the Doctor thinks he's saving the
world by shutting down a space station that controls an Earth-spanning
propaganda regime. In the season finale, however, he returns to
Satellite 5, a century later - and learns that as a result of the
shutdown, Earth has become technologically and socially stagnant, and
the station itself has become a clearinghouse for reality shows,
secretly run by the Daleks.
It's also been suggested (including
in a column by Russell Davies) that the Doctor's self-righteous
overthrowing of Prime Minister Harriet Jones after her actions in "The
Christmas Invasion" directly allowed the Master to take her place,
conquer the world, and rule in an unequalled reign of terror and
genocide for an entire year until things managed to get sorted out. By
contrast Harriet's truncated term, according to the Doctor himself,
would have been "a Golden Age". Nice going, Doc.
* Originally,
this was going to pointed out by the Master in "The Sound of
Drums"/"Last of the Time Lords." However, it was decided that this sort
of gloating — in addition to the abuse the Master had already heaped
upon the Doctor — would be an overkill.
And let us not forget that
in "Tooth And Claw", the Tenth Doctor and Rose save Queen Victoria from a
werewolf, but behave like utter arseholes in so doing and convince her
that they're selfish, dangerous adrenaline junkies. As a result Queen
Victoria founds the Torchwood Institute to protect the British Empire
against extraterrestrial threats, and they spend a good century robbing
and murdering innocent alien passers-by, and nearly destroying the human
race several times For Science.
3.The Doctor has become a whiny
pussy.
4.The Daleks have become WAY too powerful. |
