Re: Anyone wanna talk about the new Doctor Who?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm the opposite. I like contained stories in Doctor Who, when they're arranged in such a way that you still get consistent character growth. I don't like Doctor Who being too arc-y, because it's a total waste of the premise: it's characters wandering around to see the universe in a ship that can go anywhere in time and space. Restricting that format with a single story, or not using that format to visit a different spot with a different story and to explore a different idea each time would be a huge letdown and exclude so many possibilities.

In other shows? I love strong story arcs, but not not not NOT in Doctor Who. That's what I hated so much about season 6, where half the episodes were hijacked for telling one single story and it seemed like the show's whole fundamental premise was just window dressing.

Now, consistent overall themes and character arcs that follow from episode to episode even though the "plot" of each episode is totally different, yes, I'm very much down with that. And DW has done a very good job of it, especially in seasons 1, 3 and 4.

Though I suppose there are some types of stories that would facilitate the show's premise. Like the "Key to Time" arc in the Old series, where Four and Romana were trying to track down the scattered pieces of a superpowerful weapon/tool from all over time and space.

+1 To all this. I love story arcs in other shows but in Doctor Who? Probably not. And if series 6 is an example of how the show would be with story arcs then DEFINITELY not.

I think subtle arcs are okay, like you said series 1, 3, and 4 did it well enough where what was in the finale was hinted at in the background, but it's something you could easily miss or even ignore if you wanted to and get involved in just that individual episode.

Moffat era has suffered from being to obsessed with the overall story arc, to the point that it can sometimes ruin individual episodes.
