04 - What The Hell Doctor Who?

Doctor Who returns this weekend for a new series, but what are they doing?

When the show returned in 2005, everybody loved what they had done. It was a phenomenon in 1963 and since has become increasingly popular. We can all agree the first five years were great, but since the loss of David Tennant and head writer Russel T. Davies it's all gone down hill. Who is to blame? That would be Steven Moffat. The new head writer

Yes, i'll admit he was always pretty good with the horror story lines, I still can't learn about world war two without hiding when the gas masks come along and the weeping angels scare the hell out of me, but he has completely ruined it since he took over. Let me give you some examples:

01 - Once you try to make it all scarier, it loses its effect

The one thing Moffat is good at is scary story lines. Everyone was scared by the hit episode "Blink" and many others, but when you write half a series yourself, all your ideas kind of become slightly boring. The angels were scary when you weren't expecting them, but when you use them every other series, they aren't as interesting. Yeah they can still be a little scary, but they aren't as good as they used to be. Why do you think the Reapers were never used again? One time is enough guys. Get new ideas.

02 - What's with all the rubbish monsters?

When I started watching doctor who, you had evil people who were just skin and big green aliens with an vinegar allergy, so where did the creativity go? They now have wooden dolls and snowmen. What made them think this was a good idea? Nothing is scary about snowmen!! It was obvious that they were only there for the Christmas special but seriously? They actually thought that was a good idea? Why? 

This isn't the only issue with their monsters. Everything is being brought back again and again. How many times can they use the Sontarans before we get sick of them? Plus, they screwed up big time with the Master. What happened to the crazy and complicated John Simm version? Michelle Gomez just ruined it (and that's not me being sexist!). If I have to see one more freaking lizard woman I will probably end my viewing of doctor who.

03 - The companions sicken me

Okay, so Amy was hot and Rory was pretty cool, but I can not stand Clara. She is too cheery and happy and it is so annoying. She cries all the time. The big question is she admits to fancying Doctor #11, but does she feel the same about #12? That has kept me up at night since the first time they were together. If she likes that kind of thing, then leave her to it, but everything else really annoys me. Don't even get me started on River Song. I was excited to see what happened when she appeared along side David Tennant, but it bored me towards the end. The whole meeting each other in different orders gets old really quickly and then they get married!? If I have to hear the word "Spoilers" again I will batter her until she "Spoils" in her pants.

04 - Do they not know how to have original ideas?

Its becoming a constant within doctor who to now use mythological creatures as substitutes for real bad guys. The yeti was years ago, but the minotaur and vampires in recent years are absolutely terrible. Why can't they put some thought into their ideas before doing things that have already been done by practically every major tv show in history. If you are really out of ideas then cut your losses and finish it already! Everyone would be so much happier

05 - Everybody misses David Tennant

He is possibly one of the most loved doctors to ever grace the screens. Everyone thought his episodes were spectacular and I don't know a single fan who didn't tear up when he left. His companions were all perfect. His villains were a loveable rogue gallery and he was amazing. I feel bad for Matt Smith for having to follow him, but nobody would ever have been happy with any replacement. His return in the 50th anniversary reminded fans of why he was truly loved.

So do you agree? Is Doctor who as good as ever, or should he possibly try exploring a retirement home for a few years? You decide and post in the comments!
