The following is a rant by a Doctor Who fan. There are spoilers pertaining to the season 7 finale. 

Alright, I watched the entire season. I watched each episode at least twice. What I am saying is this: I gave the new season of Doctor Who a chance. And it was such a let down. 

Every episode, it seemed like everybody was working their asses off except the writers! The plots were great theories and ideas but, were employed very sloppily. The resolutions were barely explained, the characters became very thin, they made the Doctor act like an extremely serious 10-year-old, and all in all simply phoned in the series!

The “plot twist” at the end of the series finale is the reveal that, at some point in the future, the Doctor will be portrayed by actor John Hurt. Which, I must admit, I am sincerely excited for. John Hurt has played pivotal roles in two of my favorite films/stories (1984 and V for Vendetta) and can give to the part of the Doctor the respect and sincerity it richly deserves and needs. 

You know, I really feel bad for Matt Smith. There have been moments during his run where they have truly let him shine as an actor. But for the most part, he has been the victim of poor writing and been forced to portray a flimsy caricature of an intense character now residing in a universe which no longer makes any sense or provides any interest to the watcher. 

Is this what Star Wars fans felt like when the Phantom Menace came out? This betrayal that something which could have continued to shine and grow to match the fan base it acquired…is this what they experienced then? It feels like that. 

It has just been downhill since Steven Moffat took over. That’s the simple answer to it. He had a blank slate! A brand new Doctor, a new companion, a new world to build…AND LOOK AT IT! Look at how appalling it is! Look at how thin it is! Look at how many treasures he chooses to ignore! (Personally, I would love to see a spin off which centers around the Vastra, Jenny, and Strax. Perhaps written by Neil Gaiman or our long lost savior, Russel T. Davies.)

This has been a rant. Emotions are running hot right now and I am glad to have the forum to vent them. 

The first part of the season was phenomenal, one of the best of the 2005 continuation era. Part two, however, had a hit and miss kind of feel going with it. However, I don’t see how it’s gone down hill in the Moffat era. It’s certainly changed, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad. It would be nice to have a new showrunner, though.

Now, onto John Hurt A.K.A. the forgotten regeneration. While that may be true that he’s actually the 12th Doctor, I don’t see them as counting John Hurt’s portrayal and a numbered one, as he is forgotten, and that means they’ll remain numbered as they were. Also, we don’t even know if he’s actually officially one of The Doctor’s incarnations. He could just be an embodiment of the dark side of him(also known as the Valeyard), regret, a paradox, or something to a similar manner.

Can’t exactly be mad about something that has so many unknowns.

I need 2.

I actually just said “Hurry up and unban me so I can buy more gachas”

Nexon, you have me in your firm, fingerless grasp…

I say it’s highly unlikely that you get unbanned.

Your status packet perma 2x EXP effects probably finally got noticed. Especially since you’re stupid enough to take screenshots of yourself and they’re always there.

People willing paying $80 for the in-game Electric Guitar. Seriously? >_> Can you even write music for it? Good luck finding scores for it then. The only three people who can make them right won’t be giving you any.

spending $80

eighty real life dollars

on a virtual guitar

That they won’t even know how to use.

I spent ninety on a VIP pack for Dragon’s Prophet. I probably won’t really play it that much. You know, I could bid you guys up on this, I’m willing to go 150 hell maybe higher, where can I bid? Also, I’ll be using copy-paste scores found from google. Man I love being a bard.

Was a done deal hours ago.

I’m not trying to stir up a fight here, so I’ll just say stuff to clarify.

I did not outbid you just to spite you. I’ve wanted a guitar since before they even came out here, and it’s hard as hell to find someone actually willing to sell one. That’s something I’m sure you’re fully aware of.

My initial offer was 60 to go above the person who started with 50, and you guys outbid me with 63. It’s not like I’m the only one willing to spend an absurd amount of money on it. I then bumped mine up to 70, and got outbid by another with 80. So then I bumped mine again and that’s the end of that.

At least I’m not like the other girl who merely wanted it to take it out every now and then and possibly play it.

Honestly, I have a lot of respect for you and your ability to write music for it. I’m rather disappointed that you’re going to hold a grudge just because I got something you wanted. But I guess that’s that.

Don’t start pointing fingers. I never placed a bid. I didn’t even hear about this until someone told me they were outbid.

I’m only upset that people would spend money so carelessly on such a trivial item that they won’t know how to use/use at all. Sure, people spend money on gachas and whatnot but that’s a different story.

I’m not pointing fingers. Your girlfriend put in the bid, and her purchase was intended for you.

And if it’s such a trivial item, why are you mad that you did not get it?

It’s also not your money, so what does it matter what I spend?

If someone takes band or orchestra at school, obviously they wouldn’t know how to play an instrument, or even how to read the notes, right off the bat. The same can be said for guitar, bass, drums, and any other form.

I’m sorry I don’t know it as well as you, but I can’t learn without putting one foot forward, can I?

Again, don’t point fingers. Though her intention was for me, I would not allow her to spend that sort of money on that.

I wasn’t mad that I didn’t get it. I was mad that there are reckless spenders, and upset at her for wanting to spend that much on it.

If you’re going to try to learn, then best of luck to you.

I wasn’t mad that I didn’t get it. I was mad that there are reckless spenders, and upset at her for wanting to spend that much on it.

I think I’m going to go fighter for a little bit.

I’m not a female, so I don’t know who this her you speak of is.

And I’m not a reckless spender. I rarely splurge on myself. Last time I bought something this pricey was 2 years ago.

Check your privilege.

I’m not a reckless spender. Rarely do I splurge for anything. I tend to spend money sparingly, so if I buy something major once and a while, it’s not a big deal. 

And yeah, learning would be a nice thing to do. I like educating myself as I read things all the time and learn plenty on a daily basis.

This conversation doesn’t need to turn volatile, as that’s not my intent.
