Been reading that a lot of Americans are having trouble understanding Jodie Whittaker's Yorkshire accent and are forced to turn on subtitles. She's from Huddersfield, Yorkshire   I had to do that with Capaldi, he was hard to make out sometimes too. 'I need to retrain my ears!' US viewers admit they're struggling to understand new Doctor Who actress Jodie Whittaker's Yorkshire accent - and had to turn on the subtitles | |||

Glad I'm not the only one that couldn't understand Capaldi. . . My hearing stinks so our subtitles are almost always on. I didn't notice problems with her accent, but I wasn't listening too closely, either. The mood of this episode was too 'dark and gritty' for my liking, so I had trouble staying focused.

I wish to beat the "Only idiots carry knives." horse some more. Doubtful that anyone on set would call a single member of Her Majestie's SAS an idiot. Just one example. | |||

 In actuality he toned it down quite a bit for DW. Ever seen him as Malcolm Tucker?  | |||

And in this weeks episode we're informed that guns are BAD. This show has become SO far removed from the quirky sci-fi series that I loved in the 70's. I'll give it another episode, maybe two, but if they don't lay off the PC crap I think I'll have to finally give up on it. | |||

Agreed. I still want to enjoy it, and the second episode had some good moments. But, as stated earlier, more of the weapons are bad tripe. Oh, but it's OK to burn your enemies alive en masse.  | |||

I looked up the new TARDIS and opening theme: LOVE the new theme music! Reminds me of the early Doctor Who theme, I thought Capaldi's was horrible, sounded thin and reedy like kids playing the music on kazoos. This sounds GREAT! Not a fan of the new TARDIS look. Getting tired of this dark and organic look, I wish they'd gone with something more classic looking like an updated Tom Baker TARDIS:    | |||

It has become unwatchable. A sjw dream. Did the Doctor ever win or was winning always a stalemate or the status quo ? | |||

The Doctor often won. He also has a fair amount of draws over the years. What really got me about this episode (which felt more like the tv show 'Timeless' than DW) was that The Doctor encountered who she KNEW to be a time traveler meddling with criticalevents. So what does she do? She WALKS AWAY. TWICE. In the past, The Doctor is consistently STRONGLY opposed to people meddling with time (anybody other than himself, of course; it's been one of his consistently endearingly hypocritical personality flaws, especially in the David Tennant years (Waters of Mars, for example) ). He even took away Capt Jack Harkness's vortex manipulator. So, it was extremely out of character for her to just go " I'll deal strongly with you. But only reactively. Bye." I had to force my way through this episode, and unless they do a 180 degree course change, I'll stop caring about this show. Fear God and Dread Nought Admiral of the Fleet Sir Jacky Fisher | |||

How remote in time and concept when that other famous British adventurer and problem-solver used to clap his deerstalker on his head, pocket his .442 Webley and head out the door with his sidekick Watson. "The game's afoot!" "And gentlemen in England now abed, shall think themselves accursed they were not here, and hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks that fought with us upon Saint Crispin's Day" | |||

This. I turned it off halfway through the latest episode. I'm done. This is where my signature goes. | |||

I will give it a chance but fear it's gone full SJW on us and won't be coming back. The fact that they made the Doctor a female was the first clue about that to me. Timeless got all SJW on us too in the last season. | |||

I agree the new theme music is great. Tom Baker, William Hartnell, some Pertwee & Troughton. After that I can take or leave the rest. _________________________ NRA Endowment Member _________________________ "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

Tonight it was spiders, in a mega hotel, built on an abandoned mine that the developer had filled with toxic waste. The villain? A white, middle aged male. The doctor is about being “nice” to the spiders. The Dr. Who series went into hiatus when Colin Baker took over as the doctor. His first line was “Me, me, me, why is it always me!” Baker’s Doctor was an arrogant, flamboyant character whose brash, often patronising personality,set him apart from all the other doctors. Needless to say the fan base disliked him. The series ended with the 7th doctor who wasn’t much of an improvement. Sadly, I see the end of the series in sight. “ The work of destruction is quick, easy and exhilarating; the work of creation is slow, laborious and dull. | |||
