Doctor Who: Twice Upon A Time (2017)

REVIEW: While I don't think that the characterization of the 1st Doctor as sexist was a very good idea, it wasn't too bothersome. Capaldi was great and is the best actor to ever play the Doctor (his performances in Heaven Sent, The Doctor Falls, and the Zygon Inversion are nothing short of BAFTA worthy), Pearl Mackie gave a wonderful, emotional performance, and Mark Gatiss was very good too. I thought the ending speech was contrived. Capaldi's farewell to Nardole and Bill was much better. The direction was good, as was the score, and I really liked the Testimony. I give Twice Upon a Time an 8.5 out of 10.----------------------To those unsure about a female Doctor, From someone who was against the idea before. I think it could really help the show's ratings and make it feel exciting and fresh again. As for who the next Doctor is, Jodie Whittaker was good in Broadchurch and great in ADULT LIFE SKILLS- but she's just incredible in JOURNEYMAN. If you are unsure about her as the Doctor, please go watch it. She gives a masterclass in acting without ever looking like she's trying. Her performance is one of the best I've seen all year. I'm sure she will be a wonderful Doctor.

It was the end of an era for doctor who, other than a new doctor it's was the end of Steven Moffat and the end of doctor who as we know it. I was expecting it to go out on a bang, but it didn't, the first doctor was a stupid mistake and a complete mockery of hartnells doctor. Since when was the first doctor sexist and the twelve doctor pc gone mad (apparently women can't clean anymore). Other than that I thought that this episode had a boring plot, poor cgi and just a terrible episode. It would have been so much better if davros was behind the plan instead of rusty, no one really liked that episode and most regular non fan viewers will have forgotten about the episode so wouldn't have a clue what's going on! The music was recycled the twelve doctor wasn't the one I knew and was just there to suddenly talk about feminism which he hasn't really talked about before but as it's a female doctors first episode, you have too. Bills character also felt pointless and ruined her departure from The Doctor Falls. Clara's cameo could have been executed better and a montage of there travels would have improved the scene even more, I would not recommend this episode to anyone.

As many people know by now this episode was already supposed to be written by the next producer of Dr Who. But he declined and so Moffat created a last minute hack job. Basically everything that's wrong about this episode is what was wrong with Doctor who ever since Moffat took over. I'll start with the things I like. David Bradley was great as the 1st Doctor. His grumpiness was equally great with that of John Hurt in The Day of the Doctor. David literally pointed out flaws in the newer seasons that made it hard to enjoy the show. Like when he pointed out how the sonic screw driver is silly and over used. And the episode might have been great if it was a solo David + Peter movie... but sadly that wasn't enough a story for Moffat. Which brings us to the bad things: everything else. The episode starts out with a great mystery, which gets a really underwhelming resolution. Because that's how all of Moffats stories went: Promising that huge things will happen, but wont deliver on that front. The mystery is (spoiler) Humanity will resurrect every human being in history ever as a glass robot, so that... yeah why that's not explained. Because it makes no sense for relatives who miss the person as they can't intervene in the timeline and actually show the relatives the robots. The real reason why they do it is that Moffat hates bad endings. He killed Clara only to make her an immortal (literally) heartless girl that flies through space with another immortal woman. Now Bill is also immortal and dreads at the horizon to jump out of the deus ex machina box in any future episodes.I dearly hope Chris Chibnall and Jodie Whittaker can salvage what is left of Doctor who after Moffat is done with it.

It was an insensitive episode. Technically it is over with the death of the last Doctor, and it will be a cheap political show from now on. Susan's grandfather, River's husband will a woman.A step towards pseudo-discrimination. Why is Doctor always British? If he is an alien and has no so-called gender why is there a nationality? And why do Doctor and other time lords in human form? Wherever we look, this show was killed by an illogical thought stream.
