Dr. Who -

My favorites are 4, 8, War and 12. I tried to get into the classic era, but the crappy effects really turned me off. The fact that there are least a dozen lost episodes irks me too.
To be honest, when it comes to NuWho, I think I prefer the Moffat era over RTD era. I had a hard time trying to stomach the melodrama and cringe-worthy episodes like Daleks in Manhattan, I barely finished series 3. Of course the Moffat run has plenty of it's own annoying quirks as well.

Why does tumblr have to ruin everything I like. 
If I weren't a bigger fan I'd have stopped there too.
But for Doctor Who you gotta take the good with the bad unfortunately.

Im ressing this long dead thread to say that the latest series sucked and the last episode especially was god awful, it really sucks that Capaldi was stuck with the worst companions of the newer series at least. Capaldis portrail of the doctor was interesting there was just a lot of surrounding bullshit that kinda ruined most the episodes he was in, with heaven sent(S9E10) being the one amazing episode.

I stopped watching around Series 9.
It's become too sad to even put down anymore.

Allow me to summarise Bill for everyone who hasn't watched/doesn't want to watch this season:
"I'm a lesbian. Oh by the way I'm a lesbian. Did I mention I'm a lesbian? You do know I'm a lesbian right? Also something about my mum."
As you can probably tell from that, they've slipped even further into SJW territory now. In the episode "Thin Ice" they had black people walking round Victorian London in posh clothing like it was no thing with the Doctor explaining it away as "history's a whitewash". Moffat later said this was bending history "in a progressive and useful way". I guess in future, media set in 1940s Germany should have the Jews skipping through the fields and dancing round the maypole with the Nazis.
Oh and the Time Lords are genderfluid now.
Moffat can't leave soon enough

Because writing a half assed explanation takes a lot less time and effort then actually filming outside of the UK.
Or actually chasing niggos out of the part of the UK you're filming in.
I'm pretty sure that would work out well.
Do people forget the absurdly low budgets of any BBC series?
This series has been alright, aside from the bollocks with the Monks. Alright by the mercurial standards of Doctor Who tho.
Bill is alright except for the overempahsis on the lesbianism, but that just be me happy that the last one has buggered off.
Moffat has definitely overspent his welcome. Well, he overspent it back when it became the Clara Oswald mary sue show- he's alright when doing individual episodes, but he's been given far too much power.
As for all the black people, having a few would make sense in some of the episodes, as the Roman and British empires were rather multicultural, but like @TheImportantFart said it was overdone in places like Thin Ice. Might've been more out of place black people than actual aliens.
It's only modern tech that means the poor bastards are not still stuck in the old BBC quarries. Because of the popularity of the series abroad (which brings the BBC a little money) they've a bit of a better budget than a lot of stuff (there have been some things filmed in cool places) but barely.

You're forgetting bills second characteristic "I'm black and therefore oppressed in modern Britain and everywhere else i could go"
The pilot was ok untill the end where the ship was explained to be a benevolent entity and that the girl whose name i dont remember and wasnt particularly interested in bill was super in love and obsessed with her and how it relates to the last episode is terrible. Empress of mars and knock knock are ok they just dont stand out to me, i wouldnt say they are good just not bad like at least half the other episodes.
The thing is Bill is just as much of a mary sue as clara was rewritting the monks out of history when the doctor couldn't having the pilot fall in love with her for no reason, most people in the series being attracted to her(even though at least in my opinion she is not attractive) has no flaws to speak of(at least things the show considers flaws) at least clara started of interesting.
honestly the one moment i actually thought was good was the end of the penultimate episode when bill was a cyberman and and the master forced missy to join him, which was then completely shit over by the final episode.
Also im pretty sure there weren't any black people in space which is bizarre with the whole ethnic minorities in early 19th century england.

There's actually been a lot of contention over the years about this point (though the term genderfluid has only come up in recent years in this regard.) Much of the confusion comes from deliberate alternate version stories (sort of like Marvel's "What If?" line of comics) wherein a "sex change regeneration" was actually considered a worse crime than stealing a tardis or killing someone. The punishment for a "sex change regeneration" in alternate universe material was given as being locked in their tardis forever with the only means of escape being to dematerialize the tardis to go somewhere/somewhen else, but doing so would make them a "Neverperson", meaning they never existed in the first place. I forget which alternate reality story it was exactly, but safe to say it wasn't anything in actual canon to the TV series. Unfortunately a lot of people latch onto this specific mention of sex/gender changes in regeneration as a definitive argument without checking to see which part of the source material it comes from. (Doctor Who is my autism. I have randomized knowledge of obscure series lore.)
Also, I fucking celebrated when Bill got a shotgun to the chest, and again after she was turned into a classic frst version Cyberman. I can ALMOST forgive her existence, almost, because of the ending of the finale when the old bastard walked out of the snowstorm and BAM! cut to credits. I like that they got the guy from the tv movie about making the show in the first place to play that Doctor. He did a decent Hartnell in that movie, so it kinda works I guess. TBH I was super excited when he staggered out in the snow after fighting classic and modern cybermen, and having the old fart there since the last actual serial with Hartnell's Doctor was the first appearence of the Cybermen, which was in Antarctica (The Tenth Planet).
I don't really care that Doctor Who's gone down the shitter so badly. I've sold my soul to Big Finish, and while it's ruinously expensive, at least I get quality entertainment I can listen to while driving for emptying my bank account.
I'll probably still watch the show just to keep up on what's going on and to see what Chris Chibnall does with it. I'd say he can't fuck up worse than Moffat, but I've learned not to throw statements like that around because I've been proven wrong in the past.
The days where I actually look forward to a new episode are long gone, possibly forever.

Dr. Who is a pretty cool show. Tom Baker was always my favorite.

when i was watching the last episode i was thinking of some of the cool things they could of done and i kinda convinced myself that having a female doctor wouldnt be a bad decision, at least if missy turned out to of never been the master but was actually the doctor who had been brainwashed into believing that they were the master instead so that the show continued with the future missy as they tried to rehabilitate andbecome the doctor again while the modern doctor was taken away. Also it would of been nice if they had kept the idea of a consistent future for the doctor rather than completely throwing that out of the window.
