Is it better to take a scary, mean person video and add a harmless, fun soundtrack...
I do enjoy those two classic videos.
Next up is Doctor Who. For anyone new here, I LOVE Doctor Who and miss the series. I really like Ncuti Gatwa's Fifteenth Doctor, and was bummed when he regenerated. But I do understand the mistake they made with the series. The series is always best when it sneaks into the horror genre. Tom Baker's 4th Doctor episodes scared me to death as a kid (I never missed an episode), and multiple great episodes from the 10th Doctor David Tennant, 11th Doctor Matt Smith, and 12th Doctor Peter Capaldi had a real horror story vibe. It's also the reason the X-Files worked so well.
But the last few years became way too kid-friendly. When they are putting characters and actions to get giggles from 8-10 year olds, you lose the viewers (and I will argue the 8-10 year olds, too).
Doctor Who is an adult show, and if you treat it as such, every kid will want to watch it too! Case in point, this all-time classic scene with David Tennant, Matt Smith, and the War Doctor John Hurt. This shows you how good the show can be.
Since I am on Doctor Who, let's go to a video from WhoCulture and their list of the individual episodes that are the definitive episodes for each version. I don't agree with all of these, but the episodes they quote are all top five for each Doctor. I think they nail it for the First, Seventh, Eighth, Twelfth, Thirteenth and Fourteenth. Heaven Sent, from Capaldi, is such a great episode.
That's it for this week!
