I've Only seen Dr Who from Eccleston on. And although there are great actors, sets, special effects, the heart and soul of Dr Who seems missing. Throughout this series what the Dr looks like is irrelevant. Whether a curdmugeon like Capaldi (my least favorite) or a woman (Whitaker) they all showed the same basic underlining personality: Extremely intelligent, serving mankind, battling evil, a funky sense oh humor, taking on and training interns, and fighting evil, this new Dr who and his assistant seem like two preteens giggling their way through the universe.
The Dr is an alien and the only TimeLord left. But at his/her basic heart and soul this character (from my perspective as an American) is your basic Englishman (or Scottish/Iris). This Dr Who doesn't click for me. From the first scene, these two main characters are hugging, giggling, laughing constantly. And for no reason, there is more PDA in10 minutes of this show than in the past 10 years. I I don't mean PDA in a sexual sense but more in the sense of cartoon characters. Is it because of the Disney connection?
I was appalled at the last episode. A young girl's father is disintegrated into a tube, a few minutes later a soldier is disintegrate into a tube immediately after finding out that the female soldier loves him as much as he loves her. Despite this horror we find the doctor giggling hysterically for a good five minutes, barely acknowledging how the daughter and soldier might feel. Then after a bit of interaction, he and his assistant (after several hugs) bounce back into the Tardis and away they go. What the f!?!? The mood, feelings, thoughts, and emotions of this show don't seem to jive, they seem to be written not by an adult, by a little kid who doesn't understand adult interactions.
Will keep watching a few more episodes, but this new iteration of Dr Who doesn't seem like the real Dr Who.
