You should call that new category: "Well that happened".
I liked that we finally got to see what the Eye of Harmony is about (even
though it is a bit underwhelming, but then I expected something really
steamcyberpunkish).
Here is some Advice for Warnings from YouTube or Video Blocks. They use an
Automated Blocking System which is crap. If you get a Video Blocked e-mail
them straight away at '[email protected]' and ask them to send you a
copy of the Complaint they received with the person's name and e-mail
Address. If they don't or can't there was no reason for Blocking your
Video.

Ok, here's the thing. Before I say anything about this episode, there is
something else I need to make you aware of.
Here's the thing. When you are the Head Writer / Executive Producer of *Doctor
Who*, like Steven Moffat is now and Russell T. Davies was before him, it is
not only your job to set the Arcs for the seasons, but you also have a
number of writers under you that write some (or a lot) of the Episodes
under your run, and your job description would also include that you are
involved in key points in the production process of those episodes, to make
sure the quality is at least halfway decent for *Doctor Who* standards,
which is means it needs to be more than decent for general TV standards,
and also to maintain a sort of consistent 'feel' throughout the Season. The
only problem is, you'll be very busy writing your own episodes, plotting
out the Arc elements, and possibly doing other projects, like for example
Spin-Offs or some show about a detective or something.
So, what you need, is one or more writers who you know so intimately and
who you trust so completely that you can trust them to follow your vision
on the parts where it matters and also not screw up too badly.
For RTD, Moffat himself was one of the writers who fulfilled that role. For
Moffat, it's Mark Gatiss. This means that, generally speaking, whenever
Gatiss writes an episode, they'll maybe discuss the general idea over
dinner at some point, but for the rest, Moffat will not see any of it at
any stage until the time it airs on actual Television.
With me so far?
+PapaKennMediaI REALLY wasn't trying to persuade you not to view this as a negative, trust me! On the contrary in fact, I pointed out somewhere in there that it is so much of a negative that, in this rare case, it isn't necessary to refer to it as "merely" your opinion. Instead I advocate putting it in as more of a final, or objective, judgment.One of the things I like most about you as a reviewer is that you are put emphasis on the idea that, if you see something about an episode of film or whatever as being bad, you see it as being your opinion instead of undeniable fact. In other words, viewers may always disagree.The difference here is that, if someone were to disagree with it being bad, they are probably at least somewhat sexist or possibly weren't really paying careful attention. The last of which is not really a thing I'd hold against them, mind you. The idea that you just sit back and relax when watching Television is something that is very understandable; relaxing is even one of the prime reasons lots of people even watch Television. But back to the point at hand: while most positives and negatives are, indeed, strictly a matter of your or my or someone else's personal opinion, I say that in this 1 special case, it's more than that.The rest (and the majority) was merely pointing out how this abomination came to be. I was doing this because there seems to be a lot of confusion amongst the fandom about that. So I thought I'd clear things up, is all.Context can often help putting things in their proper light. It's still going to be a decidedly negative light, this should be obvious; but even if it's negative, there is still (often) more than one shade of negative light.
+Ahsim Nreiziev I know what scene you're talking about, and I'll reserve my judgment for tomorrow's video. I'm going to be completely honest though... the lengthy explanation really isn't necessary. I understand these things and know that a head writer doesn't always have control over everything unless they assert themselves in such a manner. With few exceptions though, this is unlikely to sway my opinion of things that annoy me or things I enjoy. If something annoys me, it annoys me. Simple as that. :)
+Ahsim Nreiziev Anyways....Here's the point. The next episode on the list, The Crimson Horror, was written by Mark Gatiss. As can be surmised by the above, this means that Steven Moffat is contractually allowed, and even expected, not to do his job as Showrunner on this one. If something were to be removed from the final edit, that's up to the Director and possibly Gatiss himself.So, there's this moment in The Crimson Horror. Let's be clear: it shouldn't have happened. This is of such an objective truth that I would even understand, and in fact also encourage, to not put it in the "Annoyances" but create a special "(Objective) Weakness" category for it, since Annoyances are explicitly personal / subjective.OK: a few important things you need to know when reviewing the Episode: it wasn't in the script as written by Gatiss. Matt Smith wanted it in, he suggested it and the director agreed. The reasons Smith wanted it in are blatantly obvious when you think about it. Which says something about at least one aspect of his character, and it ain't good (duh!).He's a fantastic Actor, and his Eleventh Doctor is an absolute joy of a Character, but we now know he has at least one major flaw. I personally think people are too complex to immediately say he is a horrible person, but that doesn't mean I think this can be excused on his part.In conclusion: you can't blame Moffat for not removing this from the Episode, because it was a Gatiss one and Moffat doesn't involve himself in the usual manner with those. You can't really blame Gatiss since he didn't write the "thing". If you want to blame someone, blame Matt Smith.PS: If one finds themselves able to ignore that one event, I find the episode to be actually really rather good. I'd give it an 8 (out of 10) I think, because I flat-out refuse to let a single moment of a few seconds that didn't really have any impact on the rest of the plot ruin an Episode for me. If I would take it into consideration, I'd estimate it to be more along the lines of a 4.5
SU, GF and GoT.
I'm very much looking forward to that, and I just want to say to those who
don't watch cartoons as a generalization. Steven Universe and Gravity Falls
are just as brilliant as other shows, including Game of Thrones.
Yes they have a lot of comedy, but that's natural.
But behind that they have real twists and reveals which have impact.
When Will starts any of these shows, I really hope you watch alongside him.
I can say that of the 3, SU is the one people give less of a chance.
The first episode seems a little low-key, but it gets really good, really
quickly.
Last thing, please please never hold prejudice on a show.
Not wanting to watch something because it's a cartoon is closed-minded, and
the same goes for GoT.
*Any show with adoring fans must be a good show.*
I don't really have a solid opinion of this episode. It has been so long
since I have seen it and I haven't felt the need to watch it again. I was
pretty underwhelmed with season 7 as a whole, not counting the "of the
Doctor" episodes, which were brilliant. I am just surprised you didn't
mention the Eye of Harmony at all. As for watching shows and such, I would
like to see you watch Gravity Falls! I have seen a lot of season 1 (not
chronologically) but not really season 2 yet... I should get on that XD I
have only seen a bit of Steven Universe, and I plan on watching it someday.
My friends think it is amazing, and so does the internet. And, I don't
think I'll be watching Game of Thrones. Also, I have to ask, will you be
watching "The Night of the Doctor"? Just to let you know, the order of the
"of the Doctor" episodes should be watched in is: Name, Night, Day, Time.
Night isn't necessary, and won't mean much to you until you watch the 1996
movie "Doctor Who" but I still think it is worth a watch. It is a
mini-sode, so it will be quick and easy to review. Anyway, I was just
curious. Great episode as always! :D
+PapaKennMedia I personally love the Eye of Harmony. Maybe it is just me, but I love learning about the inner workings of the TARDIS. The Eye also was part of the 1996 movie, so maybe that is why I brought it up. And the circle is completed!
+HARVEE64 Honestly, the Eye Of Harmony didn't leave that big of an impression on me. Maybe I'm just a weirdo :)I will be watching Night of the Doctor! :) Regardless of whether the references go over my head or not. Haha
Night of the Doctor is very important! True I suppose it would mean more to us who have seen the 1996 movie, but it still holds important info. It's only 7 minutes long, Papa Kenn don't you dare skip it!!
