Urgh and Sherlock has turned into a meme filled, echo-chamber shitshow too. It's so smug I wanna slap it. Edit - I'm sick today so I'm grouchy.

I'm an optimistic person, I'll watch the series when it launches and we'll see what they do with it. I haven't loved all of the seasons. - I adored Seasons 7 to 17 from Jon Pertwee joining to losing it at Tom Baker's Horns of Nimon.
(they had to escape monsters at walking pace because K9 could only trundle so fast...) - I dipped in, having seen about half the episodes in seasons 18 to 26 (end of Tom Baker to McCoy).
- But have followed it again fully from the Paul McGann movie.
The fact that the new cast (and crew) is diverse is only a possible problem if the series is not excellent. Yesterday's trailer was good, from what I see, Whittaker is nailing being The Doctor.

I hope for the franchise's sake that it's good, I just hope that they're not looking over their shoulders at the internet so much that it affects the writing. And if the cast isn't good, you just know what ppl will start saying. They're setting themselves up for a fall.

I lost interest in the 'new' Doctor Who after Christopher Eccleston's time as the Doctor. I just couldn't get into it. I'm a Classic Who guy Not sure how I feel about them casting a woman to play the Doctor, we'll see how that plays out.

I liked Capaldi, but I haven’t watched his last seasons.
I’m curious about the new Doctor, and how a newly female doctor might act.

Since the new series started there have been a handful Of good story’s (tenant and smith such as blink, water of mars etc) but once smith left it felt like capaldi got short changed on stories I don’t get a dark sense from the trailer and I’m worried it could be Colin Baker but at the same time I could see a companion not survive early on.

Yes Blink was fantastic. With David Tennant and Matt Smith there was always a good episode to follow up a weak one. When Capaldi took over I found it hard to care, and I think a lot of that was to do with the fact that I never warmed to Clara in the way I did Amy and Rose.

I loved Heaven Sent I actually think Capaldi was at his best when he was portraying the weariness of the Doctor.

Go back and watch capadli's session and you'll see. Capaldi was good. His 3 seasons improved across 8-10, I thought.

SofaJockey HeimdallCapaldi is a great actor, it just didn't quite work for me. I think my dislike for Clara played a part in that. I gave up after an episode about Robin Hood I think? So of course it could've improved a lot after that.

So of course it could've improved a lot after that. Season 8 is generally acknowledged to have started a bit rough and grumpy, so yes, if you are judging 12 by 8.01-8.03, then that's not what I'd call an average.

I think I was just over Doctor Who at that point you know? I can always go back if the new series proves to be good.

Well, the first had a man transform into a woman whom complained about being a man. Do you not see anything political about that? Not to mention, Bill is forced diversity. Yes dw is very politically left.

Yes dw is very politically left. ok, the first was a Time Lord regenerating, who complained about her last regeneration. Time Lords do this: The Doctor has often bickered and complained about their past selves. Do I see that as 'political'? No, it is entirely lore relevant. Bill is 'forced' diversity? I have no idea what that even means? They are no more 'forced' than any other companion. If their discussion of their love life is considered an issue, that's entirely plot relevant, as Amy Pond's love life was plot relevant to her journey. DW is politically left? Please spell out what the concern is, because I've yet to understand what you have been trying (and to me entirely failing) to hint at. it may be my ability to understand at fault, I don't know.

I actually think Capaldi was at his best when he was portraying the weariness of the Doctor. And when he wasn't burdened with the enormous drag of Clara being around, desperately trying to be "the Doctor" instead of him, while the plot contrived reasons why she was the most important woman in the Doctor's life/universe... y'know, when Moffat the show actually remembered that Peter Capaldi was meant to be playing the Doctor, not Jenna Coleman.
Capaldi was great as the Doctor, but he deserved far better writing than what he was frequently given and not to be sidelined for his own companion half the time.

Thanks, I'll take a look at those... - - - Video 1: 'Kill the moon' was a weaker episode certainly, but 'jumping the shark' for a time/space traveling alien? No. Video 2: Could you not answer the question instead of inflicting a 27-minute video on me? In the 2nd video there were two particular issues the poster highlighted as significant concerns: - the Time Lord grumbling about the ego of her last (male) body, which I've addressed and that the regeneration is to a black person.
- complaining that Kate Stewart is a female authority figure, which is not realistic.
(hidden among half an hour of deeply irrational whining about SJWs, women can't be comedians, SJWs in superhero movies...) - - - Still looking for some rational justification for the concerns about Doctor Who, as those two videos did nothing to present such a case, particularly the rant from the second idiot.

I hated Clara because, yes, the show became about her and how "special" she was. Was very glad when she bit it, not so very happy when she was brought back like, next episode. I had the same issue with Amy Pond. The show was about her, not the Doctor.
