As much as I ADORE the themes of the current Doctor Who, I really don't get the people who are affectionately calling the message "subtle as a brick to the face" but hated on Orphan 55 and the like during Chibnall bc of how "preachy" it was. Like, babes...do we need to have a conversation about how "Space Babies," "Oxygen," and "Orphan 55" are all just as preachy as each other? That's kinda what Doctor Who has always been about??? Absolute camp of the Adipose, Slitheen, Pting, Smiley Robot, and Menacing Cube varieties interspersed with some of the must unsubtle, earnest monologues in the world delivered by some of the best actors (gn) in Britain? Thank you very much give me several more of these stupid lonely aliens on a platter???
#the thing is that yes chibnall had some stinkers but so did rtd and moffatt#every showrunner has had their weak spots and downsides#and there are some legitimate criticisms of chibnall but like this isn't one of them#this IS the DNA of Doctor Who#doctor who#rtd#chibnall#thirteenth doctor#fifteenth doctor#space babies#orphan 55#moffatt#don't say you hate thirteen bc of the writing if youโre just going to like it when another writer does the same thing
