Tacticalin An absolute waste of money

Connianatu How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

marcusq22 1) It has a Star Trek-esque "optimistic" tone to it. Rather than villains suffering a violent defeat at the hands of the protagonist, villains are often forgiven, healed, given a new perspective, or revealed to be "misunderstood monsters". (Exemplary line: "Because I'm The Doctor and I cure people!")2) It's a show with "boundless horizons". There aren't a lot of settings that can potentially be a mash-up of any / all other genres. Superhero & Anime milieus are about the only ones I know of. Dr. Who is another one. On any given day, you could go from the stone age, through the Renaissance, up to modern times, and on into the far-flung future. Along the way, you could find magic, science, superstition, the mundane, and the supernatural all colliding together. Infinite possibilities.3) It has the charm of a British hero. There's something quaint about a protagonist who saves the day at the same time that he's checking his pocket watch, or pining for a cup of tea. This is a quality we love about Bilbo Baggins, Arthur Dent, and Sherlock Holmes. Turns out we love The Doctor for the same reason.4) It's a show that mixes mystery, terror, humor, and romance all very well. Not a lot of shows can do this. Buffy pulled it off week-to-week. Supernatural has done a reasonably good job. Dr. Who mixes them all expertly, sometimes blending them all together in the same scene. (The episode "Doomsday" is perhaps the best example.)5) It has cute trappings / furnishings: A time machine shaped like an old 60s police box, it's bigger on the inside, the sonic screwdriver is the universal do-it-all tool, psychic paper is the license to go anywhere. Not only are these intriguing in their own right, they're also useful plot devices.6) It evolves over time. The ability to have The Doctor regenerate and pick up new companions keeps things from getting stale. There aren't a lot of shows that have run since the early 60's (with one large break in the middle). If you don't like the set of characters they've got now, wait a bit and they'll deal out a new hand that they might like better.7) It's welcoming to newcomers. You don't need to start at the very beginning and ingest hundreds of episodes to get up to speed. Just jump in anywhere you like 'cuz they'll re-explain things like the TARDIS and Time Lords and whatnot to the viewers at regular intervals.8) It's a show that can be watched with the whole family. There are some scenes that are a little scary / frightening, but not gory or disgusting. There is occasional romance, but it's pretty innocent stuff. It means something to me to have a show I can watch with the wife & kids that we can all enjoy and talk about later.9) Many of the scripts feel like they're written by a 6-yr old (kind of like "Axe Cop"), to wit: "The Doctor falls out of the sky! Then some green, spiky-headed, aliens show up! Then a bunch of planets appear in the sky!" Instead of rolling my eyes though, I'm delighted with this. I think it helps me to tap into my own "childlike sense of wonder" from days of yore.

invisibleunicornninja THIS REVIEW IS NOT DONE -IM JUST SAVING IT WHEN ITS DONE THIS TEXT HERE WILL BE GONE. As of this review, the last episode that aired was the one where Peter Capaldi died and regenerated into the new Doctor. I have a lot of things to say about different aspects of this show, and how I feel like its getting worse over time. I'm probably not going to use a lot of specific examples because I wan to keep this review spoiler-free. I am going to make a lot of generalizations. There may be certain episodes that are except from these "guidelines." If you want to know what I think about a certain aspect of the show, scroll down to see the ALL CAPS heading. CHRISTMAS SPECIALSChristmas specials (and specials in general) tend to be the ones that more people watch. They're usually the ones that fans will show non-fans in order to get them to watch. In the past, the Christmas specials would be the best written episodes. CHARACTER DEVELOPMENTFor the first season Rose was in the TARDIS, she was a bit dumb, which makes sense seeing as there is no way she would fully understand what to do in the crazy situations that The Doctor brought her into. As time went on, and she became more experienced and better at improvising. Martha caught on much quicker than Rose. The reason being their backgrounds. Rose was working in retail and didn't seem to have much of an education, while Martha had been training to be a doctor. This made her easier at improvising and figuring out more complex situations. She still got better at this over the single season which she was traveling with The Doctor. Donna started out as oblivious to everything, but after being told that she was worthless by The Doctor, she tried to figure out her purpose in life and figure out what was going on. Yes, she's not the brightest person to ever travel in the TARDIS, but she tried, and she got better, and she changed somewhat over time. Amy and her family kinda mark where the writers lost their touch. Yes, they all react consistently in different situations in the ways that would make sense according to their characters. Yes, they are all well-acted, and are entertaining, but there isn't as much change in their characters as other companions, even though they are in the TARDIS for such a long time. I'm not saying that it is necessarily bad, but they don't really grow over their time in the TARDIS. I really hate the character of Clara. I know that there are multiple versions of her - I don't care, for this I'm just referring to the main version of Clara who travels with two versions of The Doctor over the course of THREE seasons. It might be because she is a schoolteacher, but she is really dumb. Some of the earlier episodes are clever, but if you pay attention to who is doing what and why, Clara is one of the dumbest characters onscreen. Sure, sometimes she'll randomly make an intelligent observation, or she'll be written as suddenly being smarter because the script calls for it, but she is really, really dumb. In fact, she gets dumber over time. At the beginning she is somewhat intelligent, but over years and years of traveling with The Doctor she somehow gets worse at improvising and assessing situations. She ends up dying because she is too dumb to listen to The Doctor, who is usually right. I actually liked Bill. She was well-written and funny. She was a college student who was unsure of her future, and all of her actions reflect the character that she was set up to be. Her understanding of the world develops during her short time traveling in the TARDIS. I can't believe that such a good character got one season while Clara got three. In the earlier seasons, background characters had actual characters. Ever since Amy and Rory left the TARDIS, there have been very few episodes where the side characters actually feel like characters, which is almost as bad as poorly written leads. Shows like this that involve traveling - especially traveling all of space and time - need the background characters at every new planet or time period or space ship to have actual character. I could give a description of pretty much any group of people that The Doctor encounters in one of the recent seasons, and it would be difficult to tell them apart. In earlier seasons, each cast would have personalities that made sense within their time and situation. Most were distinct and memorable. The poorly written villains and side characters make the more recent stories feel very fake and one-dimensional. The only episodes that I can think of where the settings and characters were really fleshed out are before Clara, like The Curse Of The Black Spot, The Rebel Flesh, Voyage Of The Dammed, or Tooth and Claw. I don't know how many times I can say this, but this is not a show that works well with unbelievable settings.

silvermistvio Doctor Who is the best TV show of all time. Not only it's extraordinary but also it's so interesting. I watch all episodes a million times and I still love it. But recently, the episodes are a bit different. But they are okay and I still love it. If you are into Sci-Fi, I recommend you to watch this one. It will blow your mind. It's a great TV show.

Smoreni Zmaj One of my favorite shows is on the air since 1963, more than half of a century. I followed it till December 2015 when they decided to skip 2016. I turned to some other shows and forgot about it. Season 2017 is over and in a month season 2018 begins. So last night I got back to it and reminded myself why I love it so much. In meantime I started original series and saw first two out of 26 seasons. It is good, but it's not quite it. Since 2005 Doctor Who becomes one of the best series ever. I will see all of it sooner or later, but only when I'm done with new seasons. To TV series fanatics with lots of spare time I warmly recommend all 37 seasons, but this last 11 seasons are must watch for every TV series fan.10/10
