Hiraethwind - YOU Live In A Society, I Live In 2012

Anyone who claims to be a fan of the original RTD/New Who era while arguing that 2023 Doctor Who is too preachy/progressive/message focused is a fraud.

With episodes like The Long Game, Gridlock, Planet of the Ood, etc. It's been like this since day one.

I specifically remember Planet of the Ood, and the Ood in general being one of the the show's biggest triumphs at the time. I wasn't even really aware of Doctor Who when that episode came out. I didn't get into the show until 4 yrs later. But I knew about the Ood. EVERYONE loved the Ood.

And that episode was waaay more preachy and pointed than anything we were shown in 2023.

If it's suddenly too preachy for you, you need to ask yourself some big questions about why that might be. Because it's not Doctor Who that has changed.
