I did like Tennant in his original Doctor performance, but constantly bringing back old incarnations is just pandering at this point. And, of course, following a few "see, here's the people you liked!" specials, it's right back to diversity hires with a black dude whose only major role so far was apparently a Netflix series about high school students coming to terms with their sexuality.
I stopped part way through Capaldi's run. Was losing interest as his episodes went on and when they did the Xmas special with River it just felt like a suitable point to stop since it was an ending for River and leaving it "open-ended" for Calapdi also worked.
Plus, it was a good ending. Sure it wasn't "they lived happily ever after" because in River's timeline the Library was next but the two still had years together which was close enough.
True. I stopped the first time when Bill came in because the whole “I’m a lesbian” every 5 minutes for annoying. Second time was the Rosa parks with intergalactic white supremacists. But it became clear they despised the audience. I have no interest in the new doctor plus the dude who thinks he is a girl sidekick. But there are plenty of old episodes I still haven’t seen so that’s good. Even my favorite doctor Tom Baker
They're just going to bait-and-switch it. Might be one episode, might be one season. But they will get it in there. If you really want to watch it, just wait a year or two to see how it plays out. Someone will praise or criticize it for being woke (or not woke enough) after the season finale without spoiling, and then you'll know.

I feel the same way. I stopped watching during her run and I hear they really ruined the character

The worst thing about this is isn't not really even hyperbole. It really was repeated over and over for some stupid fucking reason.
If Davies Dr Who is back, I'll watch.
If they go back to woke bullshit, I'll stop.
Simple as.
I'm willing to forgive if execs turn their backs on the wokes and go back to making quality entertainment.

Like how Transformers Prime had Cliffjumper voiced by Dwayne Johnson, and then killed him off five minutes into the first episode?
Not the best example, granted, since Transformers Prime was really fucking good for the rest of the show.
