We have a LONG wait until DW returns to TV! So tell me, what are YOUR unpopular DW opinions!?

For me, I LOVED the first series of both 12 and 13. They were trying new things and I really appreciated the freshness. It felt more creatively honest to me than the follow-up series.

If we're gonna give everybody from Classic Who bit parts in new Who, the show needs to do a better job of explaining who the hell these people are besides 'oh the Doctor is excited so they're friendly'

i feel like this puts the onus on the viewer, which i don't think is bad necessarily. for oldheads it can be a fun callback. for nuvians it puts them more firmly in the perspective of the new companions, where they aren't privy to the expansive life and history of the Doctor.
