but . fuck the water temple <| sep |> Thanks , now I can ' t unsee it ! <| sep |> How is that stupid ? it trends that way because it ' s appealing to the younger audience which this show is geared toward , regardless if they are male or female . Uh , no , the show was mainly geared towards reinvigorating their original audience . That ' s why it started with little explanation of the Nestine and little explanation of the Doctor . It was only after a few years that it dumbed down into pandering to the lowest common denominator . Also , it makes total sense in the universe ? The doctor regenerates random for the most part but is based off how he feelsThis was only brought up after Capaldi took over , as an excuse for the previous child being in the role . didn ' t he become the 11 th doctor to appeal to the people he saves ? No . He had never become like the people he was involved with at the time . That ' s a stupid argument , given he had already had many teenage companions over centuries before he appeared as a 26 year old . He became the 12 th doctor after being hurt by amy ' s death , no ? No . Amy didn ' t die , she and Rory spent their lives back in old New York because $ lameepisodeexcuse . Matt Smith was a good Doctor , but his episodes were so poorly written and produced that the shows ratings dropped . This caused the producers to cast a retro Doctor to try to regain what the show was supposed to be about .
