i stopped watching purely because they decided to call it season 1 for the third time and it broke my plex.
ill give it a go when i get around to merging the three shows together... after plex implements native NFO support.
i put the effort in to merge 17 seasons of stargate into a single show as per this google doc BUT https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fspread... BUT BUT BUT i aint doing it for new who until its got 10 seasons.
the woke is the least of new who's problems, but the constant prostrating to wokedom gets on my nerves just as much as any amount of religious references would. neither gender ideology nor religion is in any way progressive, its just delusional lala land nonsense that serious people have no business entertaining. dr who can be as woke as it wants because its VERY SOFT SCI-FI but fuck if stargate went ultra woke and/or abandoned the existing cannon there wouldn't be a fan alive who would be keen. an episode here and there sounds fine but the whole vibe gets ruined when its ideological propaganda instead of science fiction. like dragon age inquisition was the gender ideology inquisition.
from what i saw of the first few episodes of season 14 Gatwa did a great job BUT the moment it became season 1 I was gone.
reinventing shit for the sake of it is not creative, its a mockery of the source material.
i would have been MUCH happier to hear the dr regenerating as Clara Oswald or River Song but honestly throwbacks are only worth so much in staving off total creative bankruptcy. wont be long before we're at the 20th doctor.
