Yes, the show was excellent before season 12
Now I’m watching it by habit, but let’s be honest, the actress playing Doctor is horrible and doesn’t live up to doctor standards.
Edit : Pff 720p paysant ! -
Ada wasn't the first programmer, that was Charles Babbage. However, she was a woman, so of course she's hyped these days.
Actually, she was more of a visionary than a programmer because she saw something Babbage had not seen: that the potential of such a machine vastly exceeded some number crunching.
In that regard, even if she wasn't really a programmer, she was a century ahead of her time, which is also quite a feat, albeit a different one. -
dmonkey23275y@Fast-Nop I bet @monrichi is not English-native, because Ada was the first female programmer afaik, so in languages where words have a gender she is a "First something".
Ps OMG ADA LOVELACE IN DOCTOR WHO I MUST SEE IT 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 -
C0D4681385yI get the feeling the Dr has been hit with the 2005 dr personality this season. Last season was off putting and a bit to different but there's that flare back.
Now don't spoil EP5 -
The series was very good in the past. With the Doctor becoming a woman it transformed into an insulting endless feminism propaganda show about why a female Doctor was so much better than a male one, spitting on everything it has once been.

A 38 season running gag based on the pun, "it's bigger on the inside?" -
bioDan61595y@inaba 🤣 i guess it never happened to you. One time i made home french fries from peeled potatos, and after the second deep frying when i was letting those suckers cool down, istarted to salt them and the lid fell off followed by a lot of salt.
The fries were too salty regardless of my dry cleaning. Glad this didn't happen to you -
@Fast-Nop my understanding is she programmed babbages machine, yeah I'm sure Babbage did some test programs but I think she wrote the bulk

Too woke is when western people tell other western people that something is racist, when the "victimized" culture doesn't even care about it.
Too woke is when you make everything about forced token representation, regardless of quality.
Too woke is when a victimized group lumps a whole gender/race together into one "oppressor" group. While such a counterreaction is understandable, it's also unconstructive and only perpetuates discrimination further.
But I love Doctor Who — and love Jodie in the role. I felt like her inaugural season was a bit weak because Chibnall's writing lacked the overarching depth that's characteristic for the series, not because the Doctor is female or because it was "too woke". Too episodic, yes.
Although, some "too woke" elements are noticable in all of TV/movies to be honest — in Doctor Who, boldly stressing that a side character is gay, just to kill them off a second later is the kind of forced token casting that we don't need. -
@j4cobgarby The other way around. She relied heavily on what Babbage and others had done. She was a promising beginner, and her early death unfortunately prevented her from realising her full potential.

One of the reasons I love this show is how it brings history to life.
