Doctor Who has been completely destroyed by Russell T. Davies and Ncuti Gatwa. Davies is buckling down on making the show as queer as it possibly can get and his boy toy Gatwa is all too happy to ruin one of science fiction television's greatest heroes. Gatwa told the "haters" to not watch the show. Its first two proper episodes of the Gatwa era got less than a quarter of Matt Smith's first episode in 2010. So apparently "the homophobes" took Gatwa and Davies at their word.

#RIPDoctorWho now trends regularly on X/Twitter. All the original fans have packed up and left. They don't want to see hard left wokery not only kill the show but rape its corpse.

There might not be so vicious an example of liberalism destroying everything it touches at this moment in time than what "progressives" are doing to Doctor Who.

And the viewership of the two new Doctor Who episodes on Disney+ is said to be abysmal. Maybe only around 30,000 who tuned in.

I think the show should have ended after Tom Baker left.

Happy to abide. Though I haven’t watched Dr. Who since it was on PBS decades ago with Tom Baker as the Dr. Use to watch it with my parents.

I heard it that it should be called “Nurse What” now.

Been done with it for a while. Too bad, I used to love that show.

I don’t think there is enough room in a phone booth for “queer rights” to physically happen. Even though they do seem to be able pull it off in bathroom stalls?

Yuck.

So, Doctor “them/them/whatever” is doomed, eh?
Perhaps they should resurrect the next Doctor as a talking turd. And it can identify as a socialist.

I gave up on Dr Who after Matt Smith left. I did watch a few episodes with the female Dr.

"F*** off, and let people be!"

You have to love the hypocrisy of Leftists - why can't they let people be and stop forcing upon them things they don't want?

They don't mind destroying things to make a point. Leave things and people alone!

Ask and ye shall receive, “Shooty” (how “Ncuti” is supposedly pronounced).

I loved the Tom Baker episodes. I couldn’t wait for the next one. When I found a new Dr. Who on cable I tuned in. Suddenly, without any warning or idea as to why, the male star started deep throating another male character. I was stunned. If it had somehow related to the story or the plot, I probably would have continued watching. But it was gratuitous and had no relationship to the story. In fiction, you never mention something that isn’t related to character building, the plot or the story. If you mention the gun on the mantlepiece you’d darned well better use it later in the story. You might say the kissing was character development. Well, it wasn’t a character I wanted to know any more about. “Click.” I’ve never been back.

"Don't watch. Turn off the TV. Go and touch grass, please, for God's sake," he told Variety. "As the world darkens — and I do think the world is darkening around queer rights...

My dear Gatwa - Gatwa?! - the only place where queer rights are darkening is in the islamic world, but you would never have the guts to say that would you? Everywhere else, it's gay-gay-gay all the time.

And hey, if the star tells viewers not to watch, then don't watch.

I thought they did a decent job bringing back the series with Eccleston but the show got awful with Capaldi (who is a great actor and would have been the perfect Doctor with better writing ). They tried gimmick casting since than with lady Doctor and gay black Doctor
The problem is the writing and it’s probably time to put the show on hiatus for another couple of decades

Howard Beale, "Turn Off Your TV" from 'Network' (1976)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePiZIKGUdXA.

We're in a lot of trouble, because you people and 62 million other Americans are listening to me right now. Because less than 3% of you people read books. Because less than 15% of you read newspapers.Because the only truth you know is what you get over this tube.

Right now there is a whole, an entire generation that never knew anything that didn't come out of this tube.

This tube is the gospel, the ultimate revelation. This tube can make or break presidents, Pope's, Prime Minister's. This tube is the most awesome goddamn force in the whole godless world and woe is us if it ever falls into the hands of the wrong people and when the twelfth largest company in the world controls the most awesome goddamn propaganda force in the whole godless world who knows what sh_t will be peddled for truth on this network?

So you listen to me. Listen to me!.

Television is not the truth. Television is a goddamn amusement park. Television is a circus, a carnival, a traveling troupe of acrobats, storytellers, dancers, singers, jugglers, sideshow freaks, lion tamers, and football players.

We're in the boredom killing business!.

So if you want the truth, go to God. Go to your gurus. Go to yourselves!. Because that's the only place you're ever going to find any real truth.

But man you're never gonna get any truth from us. We'll tell you anything you want to hear. We lie like hell. We'll tell you that Kojak always gets the killer and that nobody ever gets cancer in Archie Bunker's house and no matter how much trouble the hero is in don't worry just look at your watch at the end of the hour he's going to win. We’ll tell you any sh_t you want to hear.

We deal in illusions, man. None of it is true. But you people sit there day after day night after night, all ages, colors, creed's. We're all you know.

You're beginning to believe the illusions we're spinning here. You're beginning to think that the tube is reality and that your own lives are unreal.

You do whatever the tube tells you. You dress like the tube. You eat like the tube. You raise your children like the tube. You even think like the tube. This is mass madness, you maniacs. In God's name you people are the real thing. WE are the illusion.

So turn off your television sets! Turn them off now! Turn them off right now turn them off and leave them off. Turn them off right in the middle of a sentence I'm speaking to you now! Turn them off! -

I watched the “Ruby Christmas” episode, and it was okay.

I watched the one that came out last week or so, and it was disjointed, incohesive, weird, and made even less sense than “wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey” stuff.

It just was a bunch of slapstick stuck together with dried out snot.

I won’t bother to watch it anymore, unless I start back over with Chris Ecclestone, and watch through to Peter Capaldi.

I've heard of Doctor Who but have never seen it. But I have seen David Tennant,a guy who once played Doctor Who,in a couple of other things and he's excellent.
