Is Doctor Who Stuck in a Time-Loop? + SERIES 14 REVIEW | Video Essay REDUX
PATREON: patreon.com/VerdanaVideos
DISCORD: discord.gg/T93j9JmbmB
Doctor Who has been on (and off) the air for 60 years and counting. However, the show has known its fair share of controversy and hardship during that during, both in front of the camera and behind it. The show's 2005 revival in particular, helmed by Russell T. Davies, was plagued with controversies throughout its entire run. Despite this, the show managed to achieve extraordinary success; Success which only began to wean after Davies' departure in 2010. 13 Years later, Davies made his triumphant return to the show just in time for its 60th anniversary celebrations. However, like his last stint as showrunner, his new era is already marred in controversy. This combined with the show's declining popularity over the past several years begs a question: Can Russell save the show? Or, alternatively, does the show even need saving in the first place? And perhaps most importantly, what is going on behind the scenes causing all of these issues? All that PLUS a review of season 1 (also known as series 14) and a diagnoses of where the show may have gone wrong...

What a hidden gem of a channel I wanna keep it to myself and gatekeep but I wanna see u shine and get the attention u deserve bro 🔥
55:52 uhm wtf where did u get that💀💀
I think the show to most people is just stuck in a realm of sub mediocrity now, as reflected by the viewing figures. Often, the rampant political discourse granted- often stretched to the extreme for perhaps views- does still reflect a genuine issue. I think these moments that these channels speak about the most- I often find to be what I'll call "extreme cringe", perhaps "deathly cringe". Such that it is so bad that I am taken out so entirely from any immersion it has built that it is now more comfortable to turn to something else than waid past it. Should I choose to continue watching after these moments it becomes abundantly clear that my care for the story is near empty. I and my partner often go back to doctor who, often on rewatches we still find ourselves immersed thus silent. Whereas the most recent stuff I don't fully understand the conclusions to because we'd talk throughout, only periodicall focusing on the events unfolding. Whilst I cannot necessarily describe all the factors behind this it certainly has been observable. I'd still say its better than Chibnalls era, which I still have actually seen the majority of the episodes for. We tried it, getting a couple episodes in. But we just couldn't stomach them and thus didnt mind completely skipping it. Which was a first for us. Granted this is just me and my own experience, but on occassion I do think about this. Perhaps that its so extreme (as to mean so in your face) that it ruins the experience of escapism that a great deal of viewers desire. Social messaging is in everything to some effect, but most shows don't pause or break the story for it, they weave it in. So that even if you are politically opposed you can still enjoy it as part of a story. On a completely different note, very random to everything else said, I'm curious whether anyone else feels the same way as me. That for whatever reasoning, that visually DR Who is getting worse looking as the camera quality gets better? Despite the dated CGI some of my favourite shots still come from the first seasons of the revivial (bar maybe heaven sent).
it felt like even if you are a fnaf fan and you didn't like the movie then you are just wrong
"This is the exact moment Walter Shite became Heisenbased" - Heisenberg stans, probably.
For me, I was waiting for Bi-generation to mean something. It didn't. I'd far rather have Ncuti need 14's TARDIS rather than use the memory TARDIS to escape Sutekh. Then we could have an on-screen death for 14, and some closure. Now, RTD has promised to never have David Tennant back, but his shadow will linger over the show until it's cancelled in the future. The real problem is Sutekh as the villain. He just doesn't work... for me.
Walt became Heisenberg the moment he fucked Bogdan's eyebrows.
The movie was pg 13 because Scott also wanted his younger audience to be able to watch the movie so leave the movie alone I get you have your own opinion but you guys keep complaining about it not it being rated R
6:28 That's just genuinely true tho. People who enjoy extreme violence and gore need help
Your idea of making the glass stop sound to reference Ten and Donna's reunion in series 4 is actually genius
I never saw anything wrong with what Walter White did.
Sounds like you need to watch the show again.
14:00 I couldn't bring myself to watch that entire ''pep talk'', it was too cringy.
I think this quote from another story, said to that story's villain, describes Walt's motivations quite well(I wanna see if there's a significant overlap between the fanbase of breaking bad and the fanbase of that other story lol): ''Now it's all happened, and I can't change any of it, and I still don't know where it all went so wrong (...) Maybe it was all the small moments where you felt threatened or powerless or out of control, and all the things you did to fight those feelings''. As the UA-camr says, what drives Walt is this feeling of not being enough, and he responds to that by exerting power with no regard for the well-being of others.
Nardole... Was not a 21st century human. Neither was Handles. River Song, Cleopatra, Adelaide, Jack Harkness... The pattern is only there, if you look for it
Except... It's not a kilt. The main clue being that kilts are not leather
This is the point waltah became Hindenburg
Where’s your pitch for movie
The bends at 7 literally baffled me. I listen to that album everyday and fake plastic trees makes me almost cry every time I listen to it. Everything about that album is so beautiful. Even the intro song planet telex is amazing. I had my jaw dropped when I seen the bends pop up. Imo the album cover is fire too honestly. I will defend this album until I die and is my favorite one (not the best one but definitely not 2nd to worst).
Idk man this doesn't look too bad, It's as if you are supposed to watch this as a kid, and then 15 years later you binge Better Call Saul, and then finish it up with Breaking Bad and El Camino.
the german scientist heisenberg brainwashed walter white to cook meth
On the part about the rotten tomatoes score, I'm pretty sure around 2018 Rotten Tomatoes changed their review system so that only verified users could rate a movie, and to be a verified user you had to have purchased your ticket for the movie through Fandango (the company that owns Rotten Tomatoes). This drastically reduced the number of people who could rate on the site, which could explain why the scores are so much higher now. I do also believe your conspiracy theory that rotten tomatoes is inflating scores, though I don't buy that it's because studios are paying off rotten tomatoes to do it, I'd say it's just because its owned by the ticket selling company Fandango and the higher the rating is the more likely a person is to buy a ticket.
4th will always be the best.
The moment Walt becomes Heisenberg is the moment he comes up with the name Heisenberg
every radiohead album anally ranked next please
Damn. What a fantastic video. Interesting, well researched and plus you're funny.
SUCH A GOOD FUCKING VIDEO, 46K VIEWS?! LIFE IS UNFAIR.
Scott Cawthon is anything but a good storyteller. You may like lore, for some ungodly reason, but there’s a reason why story was always so cryptic.
1. OK computer (fav exit music) 2. in Rainbows (fav weird fishes) 3. Kid A (fav how to disappear completely) 4. The Bends (fav nice dream or planet telex) 5. amnesiac (fav knives out) 6. hail to the theif (fav wolf at the door) 7. A moon shaped pool (fav Glass eyes) 8. Pablo Honey (fav Stop Whispering) 9. The King of Limbs (fav Codex)
Thank you for making this video, I pretty much agree with you on everything and I have felt this way since the movie first came out. I’ve been part of the fnaf community since 2014, but have been seriously falling out of favor with it as time goes on. When this film came out, it felt like I was being gaslit to feel like I was wrong or like I was “not a fan” for thinking that the film was bad. I really want to seriously leave the fan base, but it’s been a part of my life for so long. It really hurt to see people claim that this film was successful as an adaptation if not as a standalone movie, but when I look at it, I see a fundamental misunderstanding of the franchise (probably the clearest misunderstanding of the franchise since it was a direct misinterpretation of the first game) and I thought that people who were “fans” would also be able to see that as well, but I guess people don’t like the series for what it was meant to be be anymore, only having a superficial liking of it, and I should just accept that and move on with my time.
fnaf movie was pretty good (haven't watched this video lol)
wait so he litterally was like ''i love my lgbt fans for giving me money, however i wont apoligise for giveing money to people who hate them and want to take their reghts away''?
Rtd HANG IT UP pls!!!
The fact that the entirety of Slippin Jimmy is in the exact same universe as Breaking Bad right down to the country
I think your conclusion that Scott shifted the franchise away from horror due to his faith, is very accurate. Personally, I don’t think it’s wrong to create, or enjoy horror as a Christian, and I say this as a Christian myself. It’s a real shame because I think fnaf has an insane amount of potential as a psychological horror franchise, and I think the first 4 fnaf games, along with fnaf vhs videos, really demonstrates this. I honestly think Scott has such a talent at creating unsettling, disturbing, and psychological horror, but he just refuses to use it. I think sister location really marks the shift in Scott’s focus for the franchise. It completely dismantles the grounded feeling that the other games had by making the lore way too ridiculous, and convoluted. This franchise got popular because of its disturbing, and eery nature, and now some of the fans want to shame those who want that aspect of fnaf. Unfortunately, I don’t think that side of fnaf is going to come back officially, at least not to the extent of something like fnaf 1. I can still enjoy videos and fan games that capture that feeling, so I guess it’s not all bad. I just wish the franchise wasn’t so dismissive of what made it popular in the first place.
No verdana's conclusion is inaccurate actually. The franchise has not shifted away from horror anymore scott is now making fnaf scary again because of its 10th anniversary announcements like the dead by daylight collab and the joy of creation demo that was scary aswell but it wasn't made by Scott it was made by nikson and he had an interview with dawko for the second time and saying he wants five nights at freddy's to take the horror side and he doesn't want it to be kid friendly again and into the pit was very scary because of its jumpscares and sound effects and he's working on the sequel for the fnaf movie which will be 100x better and scarier than the first movie
3:05:15 I find it funny that that’s the resolution to the episode when the Beatles famously didn’t know music notation or theory
If you want an actual comparison, the closest character I can think of to walt is mister negative from Spider-Man PS4. In that game it's stated that (and I'm paraphrasing) "He wore a demon mask so he could let his emotions out as one. Pretending to be a demon, until he became one" if you ask me, that's what happened with Walter. Those feelings, emotions, _stomach_ to do all the things he does in breaking bad always existed, but he couldn't act on them because he didn't have the mask to do so, UNTIL Heisenberg came around. He used Heisenberg as a shield and as a mask for him to act on those desires. At first he just used it as a shield for his identity. But it eventually became a mask for him to hold over himself, so he could convince himself that he could do these awful awful things. It isn't some alter ego, it's Walter White's OC that he acts as whenever he needs to do something.
Agree 100 with every point made. It’s sad to see and I hope it’s not too late. Thoroughly enjoyed this rational and reasonable overview from you.
I hate all these drama channels. Glad that you are calling them out.
First time watching I was actually on Walts side mostly, untill the start of the last season
While interesting, I can't help but feel your pitch for a different FNAF film disregards many of the ideas Scott put into even the first few games. You think it's only a psychological horror and dark story, but Scott put the comedic elements in it to balance out the games so that it isn't all doom and gloom. Five Nights at Freddy's is not The Shining, plain and simple, yet you think it should be which is a bit weird; That would be like saying I believe FNAF should be more like The Conjuring to be truly scary. A TV show would do more justice to the FNAF story to fully explore all these ideas and satisfy everyone, but that's probably just me.
The amount of young men who idolize characters like Walt or Bateman is disheartening, and the adult men who never grow out of that naive impulse are frankly pathetic. I’m glad to see memes like the Superman edit going around and hopefully reminding at least some of them that being a piece of shit person isn’t badass, it’s shitty.
I'm a Tennant contrarian, not because he is too human, but because he is specifically too one human, that being Timmy Mallett...
As a trans person myself, I think the transgender stuff was very shoe-horned into The Star Beast, it felt very forced.

12:20 that pitched up scream lol
I will never understand why people cared what the lady in 73 yards was saying… It was so obviously some kind of magic or something lol it wasn’t like it was something so bad that everyone had the exact same identical reaction lol That’s not what matters… What matters is why… Why was she keeping everyone away from herself… because it did turn out to be Ruby in the end… And it feels very much like a plot device in order to pull off that scene with the Prime Minister… And if she didn’t have the ability to do differently until the very last second… How did she suddenly know… It makes no sense That episode was really cool, but it literally could not have made less sense
Long comment ahead you've been warned. To give my two cents, on first watching Dot and Bubble, the episode felt pretty comedic to me so the whole racist reveal gave me a bit of a tonal whiplash. Like having a freakin delicious meal followed by a pudding that tastes like dogshite that someone else already vomited up into your bowl. I don't remember if I mentioned this on some other video but if Ricky September had survived Dot and Bubble, becoming a temporary companion and he was the one who becomes romantically involved before dying then not only would the ending of Dot and Bubble probably have felt better (September's survival/joining the Tardis would be a silver lining to the greater rejection) but his sacrifice would come after the audience had a chance to get to know him a little better and might have felt more meaningful.
Am I the only one on the planet that likes the FNAF movie? This movie isn't stupid! YOU'RE STUPID!!
1:41:57 don't lie we all know dimensions in time is the best episode
Great review of series 14. The show has been pulling things out of a hat for years now and it's really unsatisfying. It's long past time one person didn't write most of each series, I think.
When you look back at Seasons 1-5 there was a variety of writers each season with a few regulars and the showrunner writing the important episodes. There were less and less writers as time went on until by seasons 8 and 9 moffat wrote almost every episode and only had a bit more help with season 10, which ended up being the best of that period. Then with Chibnall, it was mostly just him. Now it’s mostly all Russel. Doctor Who always seems to do best when there’s a revolving team of writers and not one guy and sometimes his friend helping out.
