Review: Jodie Whittaker’s Time Lord returns to classic Doctor Who form

Showrunner Chris Chibnall revived an old nemesis, a former ally, and a classic monster

I'm not sure from this review if you fully understand what the "flashbacks" of Brendan was actually about.

Unsurprising, Chibnall's plots vary from incoherent to downright confusing. Fo example, the Master kills all the Time Lords, then demonstrates, literally on-screen, how their bodies cannot be killed. And to throw away The Lone Cyberman - the most intriguing character of either season - with a comedy shrink-ray is beyond ridiculous.

This season did it for me, I'll return when the next showrunner takes over.

Waste of time in my eyes and Chibs has totalally ruined 57 years of cannon just to get his diversity count up. For lots more info see Az on HeelVsBabyFace on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMyr08sFdN8

He also got on with Nerdrotic Youtube live stream as well. Worth a watch

Canon, by definition, is what's presented in the show. It is fundamentally impossible to "ruin" canon with show content.

Whatever it is you're bitching about, it isn't canon. It's internet nerd rage ranting.

When on-screen canon contradicts itself, it is by definition ruined. Insulting the guy won't change that.

I'm afraid you completely disqualified yourself from reviewing this dreadful incarnation when you admitted without any embarassment that "I thought [series 11] was solid and showed a lot of promise".

Whittaker is a terrible doctor, worse even than McCoy, and it fully deserves it's derogatory nickname of Dr Woke.

Complete junk.

I'm afraid you completely disqualified yourself from commenting on this review when you claimed "Whittaker is a terrible doctor".

I'm sure you'd much rather they went back to the good old days of not caring about social issues...oh wait, they don't exist except in the fevered imaginations of grumpy, middle aged guys.

Some of us don't watch our sci-fi shows for the "social issues." And we certainly don't want those social issues crammed down or throats in the way that execrable plastic pollution ep did.

And it's a real shame people, such as yourself, can't discuss the show without resorting to childish insults.
