I can pinpoint the moment, it was “solitract.” Like, lonely intestines? I think I finished out that season, but haven’t watched any Doctor Who since then. It was just so hand-wavey with a ridiculously dumb name that it demolished my ability to suspend disbelief.

What do you mean? Capaldi is still the Doctor and no one will convince me otherwise.

The thing is, I love Jodie Whittaker and was so excited for her Doctor. But her companions were so bland. Ugh just super boring. And I couldn’t keep up with the lore for some reason. It just didn’t hold my interest and I was so sad about it. :(

That’s when they brought on the showrunner for Torchwood. Was it any wonder it got less fanciful and more melodramatic?
