how in the world has this show been on for 50 plus years???!!!
i mean in the history of television this probably is a record for the longest running tv show as far as not talk/variety/game show/soap opera.
shareIt's the perfect idea for an endless scifi series: a machine that can take you to any place and any time. It's like a dream come true.
Well, that was before the SJW landing and it became another preaching series about evil whites.
what is SJW?
shareMaybe you should watch the show. The show has always had these undertones, especially in the early 70s.
Doctor Who (classic) was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid. I even had a big scarf that I used during the winter like Tom Baker's one.
And no, the classic show never had SJW undertones (not to say SJW trend in TV didn't start until late 90s). So I guess it's you the one that really haven't watched it.
Whatever.
Did you not watch during the Barry Letts era when the show took up a number of different social/political issues?
Doctor Who has always fought to help the helpless and disenfranchised, it's just maybe now you disagree with the issues the show is trumping now. I still don't know how anything in Season 11 was anything different than previous seasons.
Stop talking bullshit, SpikeMike. I've watched the show from the 1970s onwards, and it never had that crap that NuWho Season 11 has now. Being "woke" is a new thing, especially the way it is now.
What are your issues with Series 11 other than the Doctor being a woman? No story in the season would have been out of place in any other season of the show.
shareBoth Capaldi and I believe, The Master made overt (by name) anti-Trump and anti-America remarks that were in no way, relevant to the story. There have also been anti-Christian remarks. Everyone knows it's become a SJW platform and a PC nozzle.
shareUmmm, From Pertwee's doctor we have Doctor Who And The Silurians which was totally about the rights of indigenous people. Inferno, and Green Death were about the environment.
Tom Baker, whist his Doctor was misogynistic, did also have a few that were political. One I can think of is the Genesis of the Daleks. Which was about genocide. I mean really all episodes with the Daleks have definite political undertones which are hardly subtle.
The problem is that modern SJW are not particularly opposed to genocide, as long as the genocidal ones have more PC points than the genocided ones. If you have enough PC points, you get the card 'free genocide pass'.
The most important genocide in Europe during the XXth century, after the Holocaust, was the triple genocide at the beginning of the century: Armenians, Greeks and Asyrians were massacred by Turks. Armenians and Greeks survived. Asyrians, not so much (you haven't seen them around, have you?)
The 100 years Anniversary happened during the term of Obama. He dismissed it completely. Armenians were furious. But hey, they're Christians, Turks are Muslims, and in the SJW scale the last ones have more PC points!
Doctor Who has always fought to help the helpless and disenfranchised, it's just maybe now you disagree with the issues the show is trumping now.
So??? Helping the helpless is one of the most common tropes in the History of Fiction. And it's a common trope both in right and left wing. In SciFi you're not getting anybody more conservative than Orson Scott Card, and helping the helpess is the main theme in the Ender series. And you can go way earlier. Helping the helpless was an usual trope in chivalry romance novels during the XVth century, written 600 years ago.
And btw, this plot happened in Nazi movies too, where the hero helps the helpless against the evil villains (that happen to be Jews, that were back then the equivalent to modern 'white males' in fiction). So, can we say modern SJW Nurse Who has Nazi undertones? share
