Agreed. The Indian partition? Rosa Parks? Pollution / giant spiders? And the only Dalak in sight was a (non-canonical?) Super Dalak, with non-Dalek, never-seen-before abilities. I don't mind a different set of opponents, but at least make them plausible fantasy, not a retrospective look at low points in history.

And they changed the "tunnel" effect the TARDIS moves through. Feh.

The new Doctor (aka, the script writers) also doesn't seem to have the silly streak; the sense of humor other Doctors had. Of course, she doesn't do extended monologues while accompanying herself on an electric guitar; so that's a plus...

They got rid of the producers, etc., from Moffat on down; and changed just about everything. But you know what really makes a series?

Continuity.

Where'd that go?

I don't mind the change

Wait are we talking about the same Doctor Who series, but I hate to tell you but there has never been Continuity. I have seen people eat their own art supply’s trying to draw thee timeline of the show.
As for the console room I really starting to dislike the new look.

I still don't know how I feel about the console room's new look yet

I agree. I also don't get the impression that they are nitpicking the U.S. I think people will choose to believe and read into everything.

[stlavin95]

Me neither

There's never been continuity in this show. It's about time travel, continuity would make literally zero sense.

[Waldfrau]

wibbly wobbly etc. - The Doctor is saying it him/herself.

[BlondieLeigh]

Yep. If there was continuity in this show, something would be going very wrong.

[stlavin95]

Very true

[L i N d $ @ y]

In defense of the show, their "continuity" is so much better than other time-travelling shows, imo.

[stlavin95]

True

[L i N d $ @ y]

Ring any bells? #DoctorWho

[Waldfrau]

Yeah, that was fun!

Btw, there was a hilarious discussion on facebook why the Dalek didn't comment on the Doctor's change of gender.
