Watch out! It’s the return of Doctor Boo!
I wanted to sit on this for a bit before I said anything… and honestly, I should specify that until it’s been confirmed, take the above article with a grain of salt.
That having been said, the possibility of the Billie Piper regen at the end of the last episode being a vehicle for another David Tennant comeback… you know what? I wouldn’t put it past them at this point. The ratings are dogshit and so let’s go back to the well… and we’ve got an anniversary to boot that we can use as an excuse to do this very thing.
The question, I suppose, would be how many people would bite if this were to be the case? It’s no secret that people are dropping the show like a bad habit due to a variety of factors. How many of those people are dropping the show because of the Disney involvement, making the show more “woke” or something to that extent? How many of those people feel that the show simply isn’t good anymore and are moving on to other things? Are those people going to bite onto the carrot that is the alleged Doctor/Rose Tyler reunion and stick around for the long haul if it’s the same guy responsible for the past two seasons/series/years/whatevers worth of largely terrible stories being told?
I guess we’ll see what happens from here… but I do know one thing. The main problem with Doctor Who remains the creative force behind the show, who can’t seem to be able to produce a good show worth a damn. But twenty years ago, he did produce a good show that was worth a damn and got good writers to write good stories that has allowed that show to endure for years to come. Now that show has fallen off the rails and who knows if it’s going to continue or not?
We’ll see, but if I were to vote… I’d vote for a long hiatus until we find a new creative team that’s worth a damn.
