How the New Doctor Who Season 2 Trailer Made Me Want to Watch Again!

by

Indeed, readers, despite Mick Joest maintaining his title as TopMob’s “Doctor Who” expert, I can’t help but remind you that at one point, I held that title myself. As fellow enthusiasts of this iconic sci-fi series, we share the excitement over the resurgence of BBC’s classic adventure, scheduled for 2025 television lineups. The sneak peek footage we’ve seen offers a glimpse into Ncuti Gatwa reprising his role within the TARDIS, undoubtedly stirring anticipation among fans who have followed Russell T. Davies’ tenure and future leadership of this beloved franchise.

The fact that we’re experiencing this event has compelled me to admit something: despite being a fan of Doctor Who, I couldn’t manage to complete the first season, which turned out to be a significant factor in driving Disney+ subscriptions. However, it appears I need to correct that oversight now.

Even After Falling Off The Doctor Who Bandwagon A While Back, Season 1 Disappointed Me

Back in the day, it used to be tough for me to catch up with fresh episodes of “Doctor Who” as they were broadcasted in the UK. However, over time, through BBC America and DVD releases, accessibility improved significantly, and the show’s influence on pop culture expanded. Interestingly enough, the period when this series became most accessible was when I felt the need to take a break, as Jodie Whittaker’s Thirteenth Doctor starred in stories that didn’t resonate with me personally.

In a different phrasing: The Broadchurch alum isn’t at fault for poor storylines; instead, it’s often the writing that needs improvement. As a fan of Matt Smith’s Eleventh Doctor, I can understand this critique.

Even well-regarded writers such as Steven Moffat may occasionally falter in their duties, a trend that was noticeable during Peter Capaldi’s tenure as the Twelfth Doctor. It wasn’t until Chris Chibnall took over that I continued to follow along, but the 60th anniversary specials hinted at more complications ahead.

Doctor Who’s Season 1 Story Made Me Quit The Series Again

In my opinion, Russell T. Davies’ work on the showrunner position from Season 4’s Christmas special “Voyage of the Damned” onwards has been a bit hit-and-miss. (Rest in peace Astrid Peth, you lovely character.) The reboot era he introduced to Doctor Who actually exacerbated my discontent, which is the same reason I stopped watching the series previously.

I really enjoyed Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor and Millie Gibson as his Companion, Ruby Sunday, but I felt that the main storyline in Season 1 was not as strong. The twist in “The Legend of Ruby Sunday” where Professor Yana turned out to be The Master again was intended to be shocking, but it didn’t hold my interest enough to make me want to watch the finale or Steven Moffat’s Christmas special.

The reason I couldn’t finish my meal was that I had to catch up on the final episode of “Doctor Who” Season 1, titled “Empire of Death.” This episode left fans with some unanswered questions. Among all the episodes this season, I found “Empire of Death” more appealing than Steven Moffat’s best, which was “Boom.” In fact, “73 Yards” surpassed “Boom.” However, I must also acknowledge that the end of “Dot and Bubble” provided an iconic Doctor moment for Ncuti Gatwa’s Fifteen.

I had to watch the Season 1 finale of “Doctor Who,” titled “Empire of Death,” because it was left some fans wondering about certain things. This episode became my favorite over Steven Moffat’s best, which was “Boom.” In fact, “73 Yards” was even better than “Boom.” But I should also mention that the end of “Dot and Bubble” gave Ncuti Gatwa’s Fifteen a classic Doctor moment.

The experience I went through didn’t fully heal the emotional scars, and the recent Beatles episode was a disappointment. However, the latest portrayal of The Doctor’s comeback and the introduction of new Companion Belinda Chandra (Varada Sethu) has the potential to reel me back in with excitement once more.

The emotional harm I sustained didn’t completely heal, and the latest Beatles episode was a flop. Yet, the fresh take on The Doctor’s return and the arrival of new Companion Belinda Chandra (Varada Sethu) promises to captivate me all over again.

How Doctor Who’s Season 2 Trailer Has Lured Me Back In

Though I may not possess the same level of enthusiasm for all things related to Gallifrey as I once did, my interest in The Doctor’s journeys remains undiminished. This was clearly demonstrated when I watched the fresh trailer that came with the announcement of Doctor Who‘s Season 2. You can take a look at the trailer yourself by clicking below:

Two significant questions arise from the stunning video I’ve just seen: Why did it take Russell T. Davies so long to create a Eurovision parody and cast Alan Cumming in a Doctor Who episode he oversees? I’m more than happy to await the responses to these questions, as the glimpse into the future is even more captivating with Phil Collins’ “Take Me Home” playing – it perfectly encapsulates the Davies vibe I appreciate.

It’s heartening to know that the showrunner of “Doctor Who” is penning just the bookend episodes (the ones marking the start and end) of Season 2. The rest of this new season has been written by different authors, with Steven Moffat’s “Joy To The World” serving as the opening episode. I might have taken a break from the fandom, but I still recall that the Christmas Special generally acts as the beginning of each season.

Having a variety of distinct voices in a show’s run significantly enhances its quality, since it increases the likelihood of finding something that resonates strongly with audiences. This is what has made past seasons engaging, as when talented individuals like Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss appeared on screen, viewers were assured of an enjoyable experience.

Following this captivating trailer release, I’m eager to dive back into the world of Doctor Who. Regardless if you’re stepping into the same TARDIS or just continuing the adventure, mark your calendars for April 12th – that’s when The Doctor is set to make another visit among us all.
