Watched The Space Museum the other night and it slaps so hard. Love the dynamic between Hartnell’s Doctor, Ian, Barbara, and Vicki. Love seeing the show go all in on anti-colonialism. Some of the world building stuff didn’t make sense (Xerons had a bit of “we’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas” energy) but I just had a great time watching it.
I kinda dropped off during Smith’s era and I’m now catching up. Up to the last episode of series 12 and I’m actually enjoying Jodie’s doctor much more than the ratings/reviews. And strangely I didn’t enjoy Capaldi’s run as much as I’ve seen people love him. I kinda got tired of how angry he was throughout his run, so I was glad to see the joy back with Jodie.
Jodie had the acting chops, but some of the scripts she had to work with were diabolical. I don’t think the writers room method works for Who.
