Russel T Davies is back as Doctor Who's showrunner.

 On 2023... There is still one more Chinball season to deal with. But Davies will be back for the 60th anniversary of The Doctor. This has opened a massive can of worms. You have people who, rightfully, disliked Chibnall's seasons hoping that this might right the wrong that was Chinball. Then you have the fans of Chinball's seasons claiming that this is a step back from the current direction of Doctor Who.


I did try and watch Chibanll's first Season and I gave up around 3-4 episodes in. I HOPED that it wouldn't suck. But Jodie didn't click... I'll bkame the writing for that. Also, she felt like she was playing a Matt Smith/David Tennat clone, but a tryhard edition. I know that the series originally had an educational angle, but despite of the show trying to return to that angle, the execution didn't feel good. It felt a bit preachy and trying to pander to Tumblr... let's remember that even Scam Artist Feminist Pop Culture Critic 'Nita S... criticized the Doctress.

I don't expect Davies to Erase Chianbll's era. I just want more spacey, timey wimey adventure with educational elements in a less preachy way. Because, the biggest problems of the Chibnall era of Doctor Who have been the writing and the execution of some episodes whose ideas were good on paper.

I'm not going to pretend that Russell T Davies is a Flawless genius, becaise he had a few duds during his time... but we have ti wait and see what will happen in the upcoming final Chibnall season. Hopefully, telling a story will be the main focus of the series instead of following Tumblr trends.
