    Doctor Who Review of Season 1 Episode 3, this episode is written by Steven Moffat rather than Russel T Davies. While it did cut down on the messaging, it's still very much there, just about different topics. I'm not sure why every writer has come back just to push their new ideas but it seems to be the reason behind it. This episode is better than the Russel T Davies episodes, but that's not to say it's good. We've just lowered the bar and hope you don't think if the plot makes sense. The episode is also a lot worse when you understand the ideas behind it from Steven Moffat's interviews. Which is why I included it at the start. But what did you think about what you saw? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)

      I have a theory about this "doctor" before the "female doctor" the actual doctor got infected with the woke mind virus which is what triggered his female transformation. The real doctor finally fought his way back up to the surface but he was still infected with the mind virus. The toymaker actually likes the doctor so he cured the doctor by extracting Ncuti out of him, and now this is just the woke mind virus fantasy land.

      Modern militaries actually work really hard to keep soldiers alive, to the point of compromising their effectiveness through carrying too much armor, because the cost of equipment is actually very cheap compared to the cost of training a soldier.
      Drop a rifle, you can replace the rifle. Lose a soldier and that's years of training down the toilet.

David Tennant is my Dr. he got me into it, Matt Smith was ok. as i have kids, i watched the Sarah Jane adventures too. they were ok. 1000x better than this crap. i said that saying you just been snowmaned in the first episode should not have happened. being a family show. had 100s of likes, then 1 angry face. woke up this morning and they were saying i was basically a bigot with an anti gay agenda, then had a screen shot of Snowmanning.
      to me, this is how leftists work, they will want you arrested if you misgender them but, they have no problem in twisting words to make me look like a bigot.
      him saying "i have just been snowmaned, i want to go home".. is what he said, there is no other way to take what he said, even though they attacked me from all angles, that is not going snowmanning, 2 different things. yet they want to make me look like a hateful bigot. anyway. it used to be, what happens in your bedroom is between you and your sheets. putting it in kids tv programs and schools is grooming, no other way to explain it..

Occasionally a serial would pop up attacking the Inland Revenue (IRS) or industrial pollution but those aren't controversial issues to raise either with the left or the right. Also, being against discrimination & war, and being kind, isn't a characteristic of just the left. In both the UK and the USA it was the left, not the right, who tried to maintain institutionally racist systems. In the UK it was businesses who wanted to hire black and Asian people and the trade unions who refused to let them until mass protests forced the Labour (Democrat) government to outlaw racist practices in 1965.

We've seen moments (see a Good Man Goes To War) where he doesn't remember everyone *he's* interacted with, forget every random person on every planet ever.

    So, Moffat initially didn't want to have the characters see the ambulance, he wanted the *idea* of the ambulance to be the scary thing. And yet, he wrote the Doctor to call them idiots for believing in something they can't see, even though the tension he wanted the audience to experience of being scared of something they can't see relies on the audience believing in the existence of something that they can't see - in other words, having faith that it's real.

      All of Matt Smith's speeches had weight behind them. Peter Capaldi tended to use speeches as a gimmick. "Sit down and talk!" was great and so was "I do what I do because it's right!" but I can barely remember anything he said in the insanely overrated Heaven Sent and several other speeches felt like they were just thrown in for the sake of a speech. His "man who stops the monsters" speech in Flatline is a good example, especially since Clara and Rigsy did all of the hard work and Capaldi just came in to take the glory at the end, whilst waving away the possibility of the whole thing being a misunderstanding. Remember when David Tennant made a sincere effort to understand the Midnight Monster and even the literal Devil? Capaldi just tossed out "I think you're monsters" and moved on because he was pissed off about being stuck in a miniaturised TARDIS for most of the episode.
      Whenever Matt Smith was saying a speech, it had purpose behind it. More often than not, he could scare off an enemy with words alone but his magnum opus in the speech department was undoubtedly The Rings of Akhaten. Scaring off Akhaten wasn't an option - the thing was literally a sentient star - but trying to overload it with too much story energy was feasible. It needed an extra push from Clara but Akhaten must have been getting full before she gave it the dessert.

Similar to his attack on Demon's Run; actually irrelevant. Smith did a fine job and some of the softer moments worked and made sense, but all of his grand-standing always came off as stupid because Moffat refused to ALLOW it to be meaningful, he CONSTANTLY undermined The Doctor in those moments--he's either ignored, proven wrong, tricked, etc. Same with some of his humor that required very awkward and unnatural dialogue to set up.

    Thank you for logically taking apart Moffat's rant about "thoughts and prayers" being an "evil" thing to say. I know he's just echoing a sentiment that a lot of other people have said, but it's really an unhelpful response to people who are just trying to communicate some empathy and compassion for those who have suffered loss.
    There's a sad irony to this-- I wonder if Moffat has thought about how "thoughts and prayers" became a stock phrase in the first place. It actually developed in the attempt to be inoffensive and inclusive of as many people as possible-- inclusive of people like Moffat himself! It doesn't specify which God you are praying to, and it includes "thoughts" on behalf of those who don't believe in prayer. It's a phrase that developed in a pluralistic society, intended to be used in times when people of all faiths want to emphasize their unity in supporting those who are suffering. Maybe you don't believe it does any good-- I'd argue that even if you don't believe in prayer, there's value in thinking of others rather than yourself.

If it had been mine to redeveloped is have gone with more serious scripts and had more real science - for kids but with some proper stories that adults could appreciate - much as it was designed to be in the 60s.

      They are imo not cynical as they act like missionaries. They only want your beliefs gone to replace them with their beliefs, that’s not cynicism. Missionaries have no qualm questioning your faith with arguments their faith wouldn’t hold up against as they don’t question their own faith ever, so the actual value of any argument doesn’t matter to them, they are not arguing, they are just attacking your faith.
      Communism has been mentioned in the episode and it’s actually a good example. During the cold war, communists always tried to sell their religion as scientific, but any science not going their way was strictly forbidden as they never believed in science really being an argument. The science was just done to weaken their enemies hence the strict rules for their scientists to never question communism.
