Fake Doctor Who Is "Quitting" the Soon-To-Be-Cancelled Show

Yes I know: Not only is this about a frivolous topic -- a tv sci-fi show -- but it's about a tv sci-fi show that everyone stopped watching two years ago.

Still, let us note again the Iron Law: Get Woke, Go Broke.

Doctor Who is now hitting its all time lowest ratings. They just had a "Festive Special."

They used to have a Christmas special, but now it's on New Years Day, not Christmas, so they call it a Festive Special.

When former companion Billie Piper asks why it's no longer on Christmas, former Doctor Matt Smith accidentally tells the truth and says, "I don't know, I guess it's been demoted."

Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding.

That is correct.

Whereas the Christmas Special used to get ratings in the 12 million, 13 million range, the latest "Festive Special" got... 4.69 million.

The absolute lowest of the rebooted Doctor Who.

And so, it's about time to finally admit what was obvious three years ago: Fake Doctor Who is a complete failure.

The putative star of Fake Doctor Who, Jodie Whittaker, is reportedly "quitting" the show.

And the BBC isn't denying it.

Is she quitting or is she fired? Probably something like "quitting to avoid being fired."

Being a high-profile failure for more than three years straight isn't good for anyone's career.

For three years, the media has colluded to lie that the show was not just good, but among the best versions of itself ever.

Because they couldn't admit that Woke Doctor Karen was a failure.

Now that the ever-falling ratings make it impossible to maintain that lie, the media switches to a new tack: Yes the show is awful, but it's the BBC's fault, not Jodie Whitaker's.

The BBC has failed Doctor Who, and Jodie Whittaker – no wonder she's quitting

Flat, worthy and woke, the unlucky 13th Doctor's adventures have been a criminal waste of this talented actress – and caused a ratings slide

...

The 13th Doctor’s adventures were often flat, worthy and woke - often starting promisingly but soon disappearing up their own time-space continuum. In the midst of mediocre writing, Whittaker was unable to carve out a strong identity. She was neither frightening, fierce nor funny like previous incumbents. Yes, she had warmth and fizzing energy but that wasn’t enough to fully flesh her out.

Instead she was made slightly socially awkward and needy, forever talking about friendship, trying to make her "fam" catch on, cracking corny jokes and straining to be down with the kids. It’s like a lack of confidence in the character becoming female found its way into the uneven writing. She was made tomboyish and surrounded by men so her femininity didn't scare the horses. Unfortunately, all this achieved was to drain her of originality and dilute Whittaker's undoubted charisma.

I doubt her charisma. In fact, I flatly deny it.

Oh the BBC, and the producer, and the writers, all contributed mightily to this pile of woke failure.

But so did Jodie Whitaker. Not only does she not have a speck of intelligence in her eyes and no gravitas in her personality, but she decided to introduce herself to the Doctor Who fandom by announcing that all previous Doctor Who was sexist.

She's a vapid, moderately-attractive dope trying to play a swaggering immortal adventurer.

Of course, you can't blame an actress for being completely unsuited for a part. You blame the idiot who hired her.

In this case, it was worthless failure beta male showrunner Chris Chibnall who not only hired her but insisted the BBC hire her.

And the BBC is threatening that they're keeping him on for next season.

However, the truth is:

1, they're not keeping him on. They just don't want to admit the enormity of their failure all in one go. So they're claiming that Jodie Whitaker is quitting by her own decision now, but that Chibnall's staying on, because he's so great and has produced such good television. And then, in a couple of months, whoops, he's "moving on" too.

2, they're not keeping anyone on, because the show is such a calamity that they'll have to cancel it for a decade until the filthy stink of the Chibnall/Whitaker era dissipates.

Meanwhile, the Star Trek franchise has likely been killed for an entire generation thanks to the Cult of Wokeism, and Star Wars is mostly dead (only partly alive due to the intervention of Toxcially Masculine director Jon Favreau).

But they'll keep on doing it.

88 Chris Eccelston brought back Doctor Who in a huge way. He got *one* season (apparently by his choice) and it came back with a bang. He got the character and his brooding, unsettling visage and demeanor combined with Davies' showrunning worked wonders. Then it was on to the next couple of doctors, who did reasonably well. Then the grind down began, and then they went in to the "skin suit" phase.

And there was no way that the BCC could be surprised by what has happened. They had a big, flashing red flag indicator already inside the Doctor Who universe in the form of the spin-off show "Torchwood." Torchwood sucked. It was preachy and woke before "woke" even got its new meaning.

101 You know one thing that I have noticed in media- and I am talking about movies, books and games. A fascination with a tragic ending (or not even tragic, but compromised.) By this I mean, a good ending where the hero wins, but the happy ending is compromised in some way like his love interest dying, or good friend getting killed, or civilizational apocalypse.

I have no problems with these types of stories, even there being a lot of them. I have a problem when that is ALL we get nowadays. It is depressing. And sometimes needlessly so. Escapism should be just that sometimes.

Posted by: sniffybigtoe at January 14, 2021 02:35 PM (1ISKN)

131 Wokeism shares the same problem as does religion in a comedic/fantasy format. The devout get mad at sacrilege and blasphemy which stultifies and puts the show writers in straight jackets. If not 'juicy', 'funny', or 'saucy' with the source material, then mass market appeal dwindles It can be done but very difficult to do well enough for mass appeal. It can be done on the margins with a character that is religious, maybe even a minister (Think Seven Heaven), but the experiences have to be relatable or the minister job is on the margins to the real story such as Father Brown mysteries.

Btw, I am not saying that no good films of religious experiences can be made. Over the decades, there have been some but far too many are lousy.

Ironically, around 2000 or so, there were some decently successful US TV shows revolving around religion in a fresh light. Those are by and large abandoned now by even the fringe networks--Hallmark for example is steadily moving to faith being simply in the background or absent in their holiday flicks. Was no always that way.

If they could just be "wink-wink" woke like the old Xena TV series was that would be great.

172 83 YD, the seasons in Brit tv do not have the long episode grinds that the US do. Most are 5-8 episodes per season so a Christmas show was pretty much important for the shows.

US TV got away from them due to diversity issues and simply put it in the background around the 1990's. However, if you go back to the 60's even until the early 80's, Christmas shows were a big deal because potential audiences were at home for ratings.

MeTV used to stack Christmas specific episodes of popular tv series around the holiday, dunno if they still do.

The original Rocky in 1976 said a lot about the state of the country in the Carter years. Rocky didn't want to win, all he wanted to do was go the distance. It was a bleak time, although I think today is worse. Then in 1977 Star Wars came out and it was pure escapism with an untainted happy ending. I think that had more to do with its success than plot, acting, effects, or anything else.

I wouldn't be surprised to see them saying, say in 2040, that the Trump Organization has built a secret base on the dark on the side of the moon where a cyborg with Donald Trump's brain is waiting for the right moment to release his army of Space Whitehats to get vengeance, once and for all.

Posted by: Mark1971

Allegedly, the Dr from Galifrey (his/her/its) homeworld, molts or does something magical every few years, so a new actor gets to be "Dr. Who". Clever stunt, or whatever.

I watched it for a few years (sporadically) and thought it was all pretty gay. That was when Tom Baker was Dr. Who, and a lot of people thought he was the BEST Dr. Who. I dunno from Adam about who was Dr. Who, but it was all pretty gay.

I can't remember the name but there's some parody of the "first" trilogy which is framed as if the movies were actually the stories resulting from a D&D style game.
Queen Amidala is added when the DM uh, GM's 6 year old little sister is added to the game because there's no babysitter...
"FINE. Queen Amidala is a wise and beautiful queen. And she's only FOURTEEN."

Also: "Summon bigger fish!"

195 160, one of the signs of a conquered civilization is erasing the past history of such. Pretty popular in the Middle East for example but others have done it as well. Rome fortunately was taken over by the Goths who more or less honored the past history and did not care to erase it.

Posted by: whig at January 14, 2021 02:42 PM (pO7gM)

196 It's worse than you know. As part of the wokefest, they rewrote the Doctor's entire history, not only predating Whittaker or predating the return in the Russell Davies era, but predating the entire history of the Doctor as presented in the 50+ years of the show. They rewrote who the Doctor is and what he represents from the ground up

So there's no way out of this mess, unless the BBC somehow comes out and straight up repudiates the Chibnall era of the show, which they can't do without a not-kidding purge purge of the entire BBC, which is not going to happen

199 I've loved Dr Who for almost forty years now, and, indeed, the Jodie Whittaker era has been the absolute worst, its creative failures compounded by the aggressive thuggery of its advocates.

Unfortunately, TV ratings are down across the board, and that complete shite festive special still ended up top ten on the ratings, so I wouldn't bank on any creative turnaround on the near future.

Plus, the show already went full woke after 2013 and completely squandered the talents of the last Doctor, Peter Capaldi, who was a genuinely good Doctor.

So I don't think there's any coming back. Fortunately, I'm usually wrong about things.

I actually thought about that a few weeks ago. They could probably just delete that entire scene, but you KNOW that's not going to be good enough. They MUST replace him, just to show - you know. They'll flex their CGI/deep fake muscles. Of course, whatever they do isn't going to make any sense contextually. What makes LeBron or Andrew Cuomo funny in that same spot? But it'll happen. Another reason to not own anything in the cloud. They'll fix all the things, and soon.

210 As an aside, but still related to TV series.

I am through the first three seasons of "Chuck" it is on prime free.

It is probably the most fun I've ever had watching TV. So good, I got my wife watching it and she watched the first couple episodes of season 1, and got hooked. Binge watched the rest of season one on a Saturday.

It is so good, that I got the DVDS for my unmarried brother for Christmas and he is already through season one and almost finished with season two. Loves it.

I don't know if it goes down hill in seasons 4 or 5. I hope not. Great cast. Bunch a people you never heard of before, except adam baldwin but absolutely great acting.

If you haven't seen it. You have hours and hours of fantastic fun ahead of you with seasons 1-3 alone.

215 If people watched and enjoyed a non woke "Dr. Who"-the only one I watched was the one with Colin Baker-which I quite enjoyed, they probably don't appreciate it being trashed and called sexist and by implication the people who watched it being considered sexist, but what do I know-I watched "The Dirty Dozen" and quite enjoyed it and the only women in that were prostitutes.

A lot of people hate this woke stuff shoved down their throats. A guy who is in his 70's and is in our church prayer group stopped to get a coffee. Spouse and I were with him. This guy uses equal or sweet and low in it because of diabetes. We were all joking abut whether it was o.k. to use pink or blue (The colors of sweet and low and equal) and another guy standing there laughed and said "That politically correct stuff is ridiculously over the top."

254 I've grown up with doctor who, Things started the wrong turn with the misandry during Capaldi's time, and going full tilt since then. Posted by: Political McGuffin at January 14, 2021 02:46 PM (1MFjD)

I was sort of excited for Capaldi - thinking of proper "older" doctors like Pertwee - until I saw what they were doing to it. He had nothing to work with, and indeed, full tilt into the woke singularity. What's really sad is when it was obvious how bad they'd gotten, the joke was "next Doctor they'll make a woman", and damned if they didn't think it was a great idea instead of a slam on how fargone the series had gotten.

The Doctor was supposed to have 12 shots at it, he's gotten lucky. Let's just kill him off now, and enjoy the older reruns.

For example, Han Solo's vest was a space version of the old west sheriff look. On the other hand, all of the historical inspiration behind Padma's various outfits, and the countless house spent hand sewing each feather, each bead, etc. showed that Lucas and team were really not keeping their eye on what makes his movies watchable (not the fancy dress that took 100's of hours to make but is on screen for 30 seconds).

Not sure how many episodes you watched. He definitely has an arc.

I think the biggest weakness of the show is making him interesting enough in the first couple episodes to keep a watcher on the hook. He is a down and out, depressed nerd initially.
they try to keep in interesting by giving you the Bryce larkin element up front and in the next couple of episodes they give you Chuck's back story. Chuck doesn't really hit his stride as an agent until season two. Season three is Lit As F. So I can definitely see someone not being interested if they didn't make it to episode 4 of season 1. I think season 1 overall is the weakest of the three I have seen so far but I liked it. I was expecting a drop off in season 2, but it got better. Then expecting a drop off in season 3 and it got better still. Kind of shocked actually. Seriously shocked. I thought it would turn into repetitive dreck. Not yet.

No kidding...the Mandalorian Hegemony now threatening the rest of the infotainment industry is kind of hilarious considering that the only real magic is that it's an old school episodic TV show at a time when everyone else is either trying to be oppressively, blandly SJWish or tell a 400 hour story one piece at a time.

I've only seen a couple of episodes on account of going from "watch television after school" in the 90s to "not really anything good on television" in the 00s to "what's a television?" in the 10s, but watched some when visiting a relative who's really into it and was shocked to be able to actually follow what's going on without starting from the beginning.

"Uncle Hank" was a POS who enjoyed being a big fish in a small pond. Once he gets into the big pond, he loses his nerve and makes haste back to the small pond so he could feel big again.

Skylar was a horrible bitch. Sam Goodman was good, although I found Mike to be grating. Rooted for WW all the way to the end.

Posted by: Oldcat at January 14, 2021 03:08 PM (eoQWY)

yeah, I don't think it's a woke thing. I guess "son" is in person, but to replace it with word with "man" in it doesn't make sense.

I think it's just one of those cultural signifiers. "You can tell I'm from NYC and sophisticated because I use odd word choices." Kind of like how all the silicon valley people end every sentence with upspeak like they're asking you a question.

Being emo don't cut it. Walt should have killed him a season or two in, because he was just a liability. (Granted, I understand good help is probably hard to come by in that industry.)

Jesse was kind of a stupid, pathetic character. He made Walt look a lot smarter.
The time Walt killed the guys about to shoot Jesse with his Pontiac Aztec? Super funny, I laughed really hard.
I think Walt got a new car outa that deal.

Then the meth guys that kidnapped Jesse and then killed his so-called girlfriend? Really, really tragic.

I knew the former deputy commander for the US Special Forces Group in Bad Tolz Germany. He did a paper on this kind of logistics and was able to interview the SS general responsible for the trains to move the Jews. It was a massive undertaking, given competition for rail space to move troops and munitions.

449 O/T Video has surfaced of an "agent provocateur" in the Ashli Babbitt murder. Appears from behind the cops, riles the crowd, AB is shot, he changes clothes behind said cops' secure area, then disappears.
Further proof, as if we needed any, that Black Wednesday was a bit Demoprog setup to accomplish exactly what's been happening this past week in the New District of China (formerly known as the District of Columbia).

450 Cheney pushed back on the calls Wednesday, telling reporters "I'm not going anywhere. This is a vote of conscience. It's one where there are different views in our conference."

You're not there to "vote your conscience." You're there to represent the people who elected you, you sanctimonious wretch of a woman. Hence, your title: Representative.

452 I fled NYC when the pandemic started, am now in the south, and am thinking I probably won't ever go back. But maybe I will, I don't know. I feel like I can be myself a bit more in the south, which is a welcomed change from spending my entire life in blue areas and having to walk on eggshells.

I have two neighbors who are of similar persuasion.

They are still relatively Dem, though. Not kookoo-bananas like the New England hellholes they each respectively escaped from, buuuuuutttttttt....one still voted Biden because he "just can't get over Trump's personality."

The other is definitely center-right, but is currently wanting to run for local city council in order to boot out a corrupt old coot, and she's willing to "work behind the scenes" with local Dem operatives in order to get on. Council seats are apolitical - nobody runs with a party affiliation.

I'm underwhelmed. But they are both nice people, not crazy, and I hope that they will go redder and redder as time goes on (probably about as much as they hope I will go bluer and bluer).

454 Speaking of stupid, have you seen that millennials invented a new form of music? Yeah, they're called, now get this, "Sea Shanties!" I know, right?

And the lyrics are basically revolving around lash, sodomy and rum. I don't know either, but I looked those up. "Lash" is kinda kinky, and rum is like White Claw, only doesn't come in a can. So, yeah, good lyrics! Anyway, it's all the rage, and soon I hope we'll be hunting whales and getting wet. Of course, you need tik tok to find these things until it takes the world by storm!

Thing is, Trump is still in charge of the NG. Whatever this is, it is not Biden's doing.

The NG units are coming from NJ, PA, IL, and MD (that I know about), the governors of those states can send them also.

459 I think one of my NYC friends might have been a conservative, but it's hard to say, since it would be social suicide to ever openly admit that. Shit, half the dating profiles say "if you voted for Trump, swipe left." So you have to have some good opsec.
Posted by: Harry Paratestes at January 14, 2021 03:18 PM (UPoLF)


Yep. I've developed a knack for feeling people out that works pretty well.

I start with something a bit anodyne, e.g., criticizing something the CA governor/legislature have done, or referring to Newsom as "Governor Hair Gel." (Something that I can walk back if need be.) Then I watch the response.

If it's neutral, or entails a change of subject, I drop it. But if the person rises to the bait enthusiastically, I know I've encountered a brother.

We're at a point in baseball practice where any liberals keep their yaps shut because they know they're in the vast minority. It's like a little bubble of sanity.

They well may be but I do not believe that those Governors have power to send or direct them them anywhere outside the state. And I know for a fact that many, many of the NG in VA would not follow Coonman's orders contrary to their oaths because there has been a tremendous amount of pushback from them over VA gun laws.

476 In the hands of a good writer (who rejected wokism) a female doctor could have been hilarious and well done.

Imagine The Doctors panic when he found out he was a girl (Matt Smith) did a preview of that. Imagine him complaining about his big hooters getting in the way. Imagine him trying to get people to take him seriously while his new companion keeps trying to hit on him.

In the hands of a good writer, it could have been a comic masterpiece.

But Wokism allows no mockery of its religion.
