On Dr. Who: The series seems have suffered a bit lately. It started with the twelfth Dr. 1.) The writing has become ponderous, too much flexing posing and shouting. 2.) Too many characters in general, way too many companions. 3.) Continuing a story through many episodes has its plusses and minuses. Plus, if the story is good. Not a plus if the story isn’t. And too often in such a situation (on other shows for example) the story bogs down. 4.) Too much CGI. I love CGI as well as the next guy, but it’s gotten a little….reflexive. Over doing CGI is always a sign that the union writers have been fired. Im not saying this is the case with Dr. Who, but the show has suffered tedious writing lately. Suggestion for improvement: The thirteenth Dr. is cool, but could they somehow find a wardrobe for her that doesn’t look as if it came from a dumpster? And finally, when it comes time for a new Dr., the casting dept. could do a lot worse than Diana Morgan (Philomena Cunk) as the 14th Doctor.
