Maybe I'm naive but I just think the fact that the Doctor is (possibly) the only character on TV who can now be played by literally anyone (of any race/gender) is a beautiful thing that should be celebrated.

Ncuti Gatwa is the first openly queer Black actor to take on the role of the core Doctor. “I feel like anyone that has a problem with someone who’s not a straight white man playing this character, you’re not really, truly a fan of the show," he says. wp.me/pc8uak-1lE2Ic

It really is such a shame this regeneration sequence shits its pants in the final ten seconds because “It has been an absolute joy” would’ve been such a wonderful line for Doctor Who as we currently know it to go out on.

We can all agree this is actually the original ending

@la_bonj Wouldn't that make the show somehow even more creatively bankrupt? 🤣

Part of me would LOVE Doctor Who to return and just remake older stories. Give me that first series of Doctor Who with a fresh cast, new take and great production values! Meet the Daleks for the first time & experience the Doctor without knowing anything about his past 👌

I maintain that the Capaldi era was kinda doomed when Day of The Doctor dropped. That episode is such a perfect exit point for any casual viewer as it wraps up a seven season long arc for the character rather conclusively.
WilliamWho@WilliamWho27

The general public did not really click with the Capaldi, Whittaker or Gatwa era. It’s not really one person’s fault. It’s just something that’s sadly got worse over time leading to us now where it feels like the public has forgotten Doctor Who.

Big Finish retroactively making Cass a companion of the Doctor makes the Night of the Doctor 10x more bleak and tragic. Only Doctor and companion to die together.

@james_d_bx Tbf the universe was erased and 11 did get out of the Pandorica because Rory used the sonic. 🤣😭

If that had been written by RTD, the universe would’ve been erased and 11 would’ve sonic’d his way out the Pandorica, gone back in time to convince the alliance he wasn’t responsible for the cracks, gained an ability to bring Amy back from the dead and wiped out the alliance. 4/

The more I think about it…I don’t think Russell wrote Doctor Who this time around any worse as he did in 2005-2009, the show just moved on. He just had less budget, more constraints forcing him to be more creative last time. 1/

@Fawst Technically he died properly. He was brought back to life and then regenerated.

@Matthewbbbbbb Didn't really answer the question, but I looked it up from this and it's the standard "death into regeneration" so THAT answers it. :) Cheers.

@Matthewbbbbbb I've not listened to any audios, how does the Doctor "die?" I'm taking that at face value and assuming it was an actual death, so that's why I'm asking.

@MrGeorgSplatoon The Time War screws up people's minds. They lean heavily on that in the audios.

I just don't get how anyone could earnestly believe that Chibnall had something to do with the current state the show is in. Like just cause you don't like his episodes doesn't mean he's in any way responsible for what's currently going on.

@BenoitBlancFan maybe people just don't want to rewrite history and pretend the Chibnall era was successful?

@WhovianLife Most of the episodes were great or at least good outside of the finales and the openers.
