Doctor Who

[dbskyler]

So is anyone on my flist still watching Doctor Who? I actually saw the series finale and am interested to hear what other people thought of it.

Partly I'm asking because I'm feeling pretty "meh" about it myself. That was the most "Doctor-ish" I have seen Chibnall write the Thirteenth Doctor, but I didn't much care for the plot or its consequences.

I am still watching, but I've been a bit tired and ill and not up to major Chris Chibnall developments, so I'm saving the last two for later. Not very helpful!

(Also, though: hey you! ♥

Hey back! <3

Ironically, this one and the Ruth episode are the only two I've watched this series. I am now to the point where I mostly can't stand watching the show, but I also feel weird about not knowing what's going on, so I actively seek out spoilers to "keep up" without having to actually watch. Sigh.

But the strategy led me to go back and watch two episodes that I was actually able to keep the TV on for all the way through (unlike "Spyfall," that I couldn't bear to keep watching even after learning about the upcoming reveal). And then the finale gave us what can only be described as a major Chris Chibnall development, delivered in his typical lots-of-exposition-but-no-emotional-stakes way. So you might want to save it for awhile longer. ; )

Yeah, I woke up to many spoilers on Monday morning, none of which make me feel keener to watch it. Not in a Chris Chibnall anyway. I'll get to it when I feel up to it, I think.

I've enjoyed some of the eps... mostly the ones not written by Chibnall!
