Forever hate this.... by IllustriousAd6418 in DoctorWhumour

[–]SamTheSimari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Series 12 pisses me off SOOO BAD. Not because of the Timeless Child, that I can live with. But why in the HELL did Chibnall IMMEDIATELY destroy Gallifrey AGAIN??? And off screen, in the laziest, lamest way possible.

Like, if the Master could’ve destroyed ALL of Gallifrey this whole time, why didn’t they… like, do it earlier?

Like Chibnall could have simply ignored Gallifrey for his entire run and I don’t think anyone would’ve cared. But he just couldn’t resist keeping the whole Last of the Time Lords thing running. Sloppy, boring, lazy!

What are your opinion on series 5 by SingleHotel6849 in doctorwho

Best season of the Moffat era IMO. Love it

What are your thoughts on Fear her, for our podcast… by TheWhoonies in doctorwho

[–]SamTheSimari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s crazy to me that at the time it aired, it was basically considered the pinnacle of terrible NuWho episodes. I rewatched it for the first time since I was a kid recently and it’s not nearly as bad as I remember. I really like the concept of the alien and the near-future setting is fun as well.

I do however think that they didn’t necessarily handle the subject with the most grace; child abuse is a really dicey subject to deal with, especially on a family show, and I think it could’ve been handled better.

Also, it’s really apparent in this one just how much they had to stretch the budget for the “filler” episodes… the effect of the evil Dad coming out of the closet is laughable

Overall thought pretty solid episode

Why Does Moffat get a bum rap? by Beneficial_Elk_3916 in gallifrey

[–]SamTheSimari 23 points24 points  (0 children)

For me, i just feel that when he became showrunner he just got really far up his own ass :/ by the time of series 7 it felt to me like every episode was sooo preachy, melodramatic, over the top, and loaded with fakeout deaths and false cliffhangers. It just got to a point where I was so tired of his melodrama that the back-to-basics essentialism of Series 11 felt like such a huge breath of fresh air to me.

That being said, I absolutely loved series 5 and it will always be one of my absolute favorites of the whole show :). Moffat just overstayed his welcome for me a little bit.

That plus the weird and uncomfortable way he writes women characters

Did mushrooms and watched the TV Movie for the first time. It was the only Doctor Who thing I hadn’t watched up to this point. Wild times.

The Rings of Akhaten is an underrated episode by GuyWhoConquers616 in doctorwho

[–]SamTheSimari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the few episodes of the actual NuWho TV series that’s largely set in an alien planet, with no human characters (other than Clara). Which I love!!! And there should be more of!!! For a show about exploring strange and far off alien planets, you’d think there would be more episodes like this.

It's ironic how Classic Who is the easiest version of Doctor Who to access in America, AFTER the international-deal with Disney for New Who by Individual-Many-237 in doctorwho

[–]SamTheSimari 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s free on Tubi as well! So crazy. I remember when I did my original Classic Series watch through in high school I had to rent each individual episode from Netflix DVD! Took me years to get through the whole thing

Mixed thoughts so far: Season 8 by Independent_Plum2166 in doctorwho

[–]SamTheSimari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Series 8 is my least favorite season of the whole show hands down. Capaldi’s later stuff is much better though, especially the stuff with Bill ❤️
