Thanks for the link.....I'll watch it. I miss Capaldi, Smith, Tenant, and imho some of the past writing wasn't bad..I enjoyed many of the episodes. I know some disliked the River Song stories but I liked them and her character.....so the new issues for me is not the fact we now have a Lady Doc...I just don't think she captures DR Who for me. I'll keep watching because I'm a Who fan, but.......

They are certainly hammering home the ecological themes this season. I do think overall this season is a step up from last year, but overall just ok. They are definitely building up tosomething though, so I suspect my feelings for the season as a whole will be tied to how these loose ends tie up.

Long, long dead. The only thing I enjoyed about Dr Who, after Tom Baker, was the theme music. Which is why I did my own variation it. I'm considering doing another jam track around the Dr Who theme for the next album.

Watched the Byron/Shelly episode the other night...and again while I enjoyed the 19th century tale...it was a mediocre episode. I'm starting to get tired of the fact of them reusing Cybermen and Daleks whenever they run out of ideas.

Starting to get tired of it? I got tired of it in the David Tennant years.

Too young for Hartnell, but grew up on Troughton, Pertwee and Baker. Drifted away after that (life and other things got me out of the routine). Loved the re-boot and it coincided with my children being of an age to enjoy it with me. I thought the Tennant years were wonderful - the writing was top notch, and even Smith and Capaldi maintained the high standard (helped by good companions too). Never liked the idea of a female doctor, but gave Whittaker a chance - but she is just not a good actor (never liked her in Broadchurch) - although to be fair she is not helped by the dreadful scripts - most of which are so worthy and educational, you feel patronised by their messages. It's a real shame - I don't get the buzz at present - but hopefully it'll return - but think a new re-boot is called for again

That's a good point. It reminds me of the Goa'uld on Stargate SG-1, but they were able to conclude that story line and introduce new "villiains," like the replicators. Doctor Who could use a new rivalry of sorts.

The McCoy period basically killed off Dr Who for most people - he's a good actor but the whole era was woeful imo.

I disagrees, it didn't koll it off at all. It was just the change in TV in general, so many old things ended. And so much new shortlived stuff started on UK tv. I loved the McCoy period, and I know it has a huge fan base, as does every doctor. It was sinister in a unique way, similar to how Sapphire & Steel was cosy and sinister at the same time, and Ace was a great conpanion. I really didn't like the Davidson and Colin Baker years though, they were pale imitations of the Ton Baker years. Edited by LAM-SGC - February 20 2020 at 00:32 |

Exactly, she isn't a good actor at all. And Yes it is so preachy and socially correct all the time, so boring. It's like watching a primary school teacher taking her class on an outing, where they are all so well-behaved. Edited by LAM-SGC - February 20 2020 at 00:38 |

All I'm saying is that I'm writing music again aaaaand....... well. Draw your own conclusions from the artwork for the single from the album (which is called Omnivac, incidentally).
