Doctor Who franchise 2026–?

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

The whole Jodie/Chris Chibnall era is frustrating. Jodie herself is good, but Chibnall's stories and general phuckery with canon is ehhhhhhh.

Then RTD took over again and we got some fun Tennant/Tate eps, followed by Ncuti who kicked ass and then ran, thanks to Disney being cheap bastards who dumped the franchise back in the BBC's lap and ran themselves.

And now we wait to see how RTD writes himself out of this mess, lol

I think I have everything up through the first series of Jodie Whitaker? Kinda fell off after that... never even finished the Peter Capaldi era... I'm a bad Whovian...

The last few episodes of Capaldis run are his best. Watch hell bent and heaven sent. At a pinch twice upon a time, I only recommend that as it's a two doctor story.

Watch hell bent and heaven sent.

My absolute favorites of the Capaldi era.

You and I remember the RTD II stretch very differently.

Disney dropped DW for two reasons: 1) the ratings sucked. The ratings sucked because the show sucked. 2) Disney really wanted the DW back catalog to broadcast because that's where the money was, but BBC wouldn't go that far... at least not on the initial contract. It's not Disney being cheap, it's Disney cutting loose a bad deal.

Why would they enter into it if they weren't getting the back catalog too? That's just a bad business move.

I just canceled AppleTV and then I realized that's the only place the modern era minus the Bi-Generation era is streaming.

Which is why I'm in a "reacquiring" phase now...
