Let's clear up some things. If you enjoyed this episode, I'm very happy for you, something I said in the video. I'm glad you got something out of it, which I didn't! Secondly just because I didn't like this episode doesn't mean I'm a bigot. It's very annoying because in this video, I give the episode its flowers and critique it. I'd do the same with an episode I like, too. Ncuti is incredible, and if ppl bothered to watch before sprouting nonsense, they'd see that I think he's incredible too!
I have no woke/anti-woke issues with DW.. my issue with the last season of DW was how nothing meant anything.. all the breadcrumbs along the way.. were just crumbs never meant to be part of something bigger. Ruby’s parents? Nobody important. Magical snow? Just a really strong memory.. 4th wall breaking kooky neighbor? Maybe she’s an alien maybe she’s a god but we aren’t ganna tell you ever so you decide…
Episode was cool. Hotel concept was cool. The COVID hospital restrictions were cathartic after people seem to have forgotten the government breaking their own laws. I don't know what episode you watched, but this was good Who, like most of last season.
Yeah this episode was an absolute mess. All characters were underdeveloped, the plot was rushed due to the montage taking up too much time, the ending of Joy becoming a star comes out of left field, the time hotel was underutilised, the villain was weak and underdeveloped, the themes are barely coveyed and there is way too many, the bootstrap paradox was more of a deus ex machina than anything, the doctor was crying again, pacing was all over the place. I think of those problems off the top of my head
Better late than never. Far from the awful skit of the 13th doctor hiding in a wardrobe promoting lockdowns. 🫣 During 2020 onwards I always imagined the Doctor advising a middle of the road approach to the pandemic. 😊
@theginganaut9254 What? That little video was lovely. It gave hope to so many children during the pandemic, that is what the Doctor is about, giving hope to people in dark times!
The best Dr Who for this Xmas was the broadcast of the War Games. It was lovely to watch + a real Dr Who Xmas treat. Joy to the world however, well, if people liked it then all power to them + I’m glad Nu-Who makes some people happy. I’m just an old grumpy curmudgeon, it’s not for me.
They were so busy obeying Disney and ticking Boxes, they forgot the number one rule of Doctor Who, pick someone who has that "Doctor" vibe about them! Christopher Eccelston didn't have to it, Jodie Whittaker didn't have it, Ncuti Gatwa doesn't have it! "Sexist" you cry, Nope! Hayley Attwell, Gemma Chan, Nina Sosanya all would have been a better Doctor than what we got! Even Jo Martin was more Doctor than Jodie! "Racist!" you cry! Nope Patterson Joseph, David Harewood, David Yip would have been better choices! (I've wanted Patterson to get it since 1996!) Ncuti got the job for one reason only! And THAT is why the pace of the episode had to Stop, just so RTD could see the Doctor and Rogue kiss on screen! 🤔
It looked pretty, the concept is nice. But that's only nice things i can say about it. I really didn't care for anyone in the special. Not even the doctor.
Yeah, this video pretty much is a summary of my thoughts on the episode, a part from the death of the Solarian didn't really hit hard for me at all, didn't really feel built up enough for an actual emotional response. I agree that Joy was really bland as a character and would love to see more of Anita in future episodes. (Also holy shit that episode at 6:58 is going to be a banger looks incredible visually)
I enjoyed the episode and will enjoy rewatching it from years to come but i agree i wish joy eould have been developed way more which didn't happen because of time. During the 15 bring with anita i kinda was afraid that joy wouldn't be in the episode at all
Personally i thought this was the worst 15th episode. I agree Anita was the only thing to this episode. Also i think she should be consider an offical companion even without being in the tardis
I personally loved it! Yeah the ending was a little cliche and sappy but IDC. The Doctor spending a year at the hotel was a nice moment and him and Joy were good duo!
There's no "evil" lmao I just don't like this episode. Ncuti has been great and so have almost all his episodes, with his finale being my favourite 2 parter in years. Just this one wasn't to my liking, I gave my reasons why but also give this episode its flowers for certain elements. I'd do the same with any episode I review.
@SaammuelWho evil wasn't directed at you specifically. It's the general, hyperbolic nature of reviewing content on UA-cam (in certain reviewers need to angle their reviews to a certain audience) Maybe 'disaster' is a bit silly but shrug emoji
Very weird reaction to someone not liking an episode of a tv show. So every time anyone is critical of any Doctor Who episode that means they’re “scrambling to find problems” or they think it’s “evil”?
That's great for you! and I said that in the video if u like it, im happy for you. I love Doctor who and if I like an episode I'll state that and why I do. if I don't like it I'll state why. "don't watch it if you don't like it" is shockingly" sh*t

The anti lockdown bit is the most based thing doctor who has done in a long time

It's not really anti-lockdown though, it's more anti-tory and their hypocrisy during the lockdowns, rules for thee but not for me basically.
@@theginganaut9254better than nothing, I mean atleast she did actually did something.
i just thought it was boring like i didn't care about the episode at all

One moment... "That's why there were no rooms in the inn."

I'm hoping that cartoon in S2 is the Boneless returning
More like Misery to the World!
I loved it! I thought it was a lot of fun with some nice emotion and wit and honestly, what more could you ask for at Christmas?
Personally i thought this was the worst 15th episode. I agree Anita was the only thing to this episode. Also i think she should be consider an offical companion even without being in the tardis
Ncuti Gatwa is not the Doctor and he never will be
Tbh i agree it wasn't the best.
I personally loved it! Yeah the ending was a little cliche and sappy but IDC. The Doctor spending a year at the hotel was a nice moment and him and Joy were good duo!
Watching people scramble to find problems with the 'evil' modern doctor who show is hilarious.

Its youtube. disaster is just playing it up a little. is what it is.

So, Astrid became a star just as Astrid did in Voyage of the Damned. A bit weak.
You mean Joy...? As in "So, Joy became a star just as Astrid"
I like it don't watch it if you don't like it
That's great for you! and I said that in the video if u like it, im happy for you. I love Doctor who and if I like an episode I'll state that and why I do. if I don't like it I'll state why. "don't watch it if you don't like it" is shockingly" sh*t
How do you know if you'll like it if you dont watch it though?
EXACTLY! HA
