wow ur really going full superwholock huh. never thought id see the day. /chews stalk of wheat pensively, gazing out over the wide prairire from my humble rocking chair
…
im in it for the snazzy…
i’m only in it for someone to complain about dr. who with. if you’re interested in that /strokes shotgun casually
i’ll be your sounding board if you like
keep in mind tho I’m a very patient person who doesn’t know where irony ends and sincere appreciation starts dry-humping everything in sight
its mostly just like… the lack of effort the writers put into creating believable and/or imaginative science fiction. i’ve mostly only seen the david tennant episodes but i’d love to meet a non-shitty robot or a villain that doesn’t announce their intentions loudly and repeatedly
point.
it really isn’t particularly innovative in it’s storytelling. dw is different from the stuff i usually watch i guess - usually i like stuff that’s quite unusual and trope-defying, neither of which dw is really.
and the DRAMATIC GESTURESS or CATCH PHRASES of the villains. THE FREAKING SLITHEENS AND THEIR HEAD-ZIPPING.
i guess what it lacks utterly in subtlety it makes up for in a classic sense of genre? like, it’s in the same bucket as star wars or star trek. hm idnno
then again it does have its moments, so. i’m still withholding full judgement
even though I’ve watched through nine and am chugging steadily through ten. like despite the absurdity and meh costuming there’s still… funnies…
idk cass back me up
I wouldn’t say it’s super innovative however I’d say it is consistently entertaining and as a person who was never huge into sci-fi (more of a fantasy person myself) its helped me successfully break into the genre. If I really had to think about it I guess for me it’s more about the small moments than the creativeness of a villain. On dw (at least for 9 and 10) they did a lot with very little. And of course there’s classic who which though campy now was super new for its time and that’s also where we get some of the flatter villains like the daleks whom we can’t really let go of because they been around since literally the second episode back in the sixties.
i mean i can see why you like it (i like it too) but i don’t understand why so many people LOVE it. like i think there’s something i’m missing out on? or maybe my secret government dr. who enjoyment brain implant isn’t working
I feel like I know the answer but can’t articulate it. Maybe I’d have to watch an episode with you so I could be like THAT RIGHT THERE IS IT idk man if I figure it out I will tell you.
ok maybe we’ll do that (or maybe you can just send a message to your contact in the USDDW to upgrade my implant. whichever’s easier for you)
i dunno about an implant i’ve seen where that can go with mind control and whatsit
where……….. can it go sarah……………. where
