>>782069That's sort of why the modern Doctor Who is so weak; the writing is so shit.
I grew up with a different era of the Doctor, where problems were on a different scale. The writing was also different, and the show was more about a rather light hearted adventure through time and space than anything else. Even when the Doctor was essentially trapped on Earth.
Now it's just... the same shit over and over again with a different coat. Even when the Doctor changes, it's still the same. And the companions are just... so meh. They don't challenge him like the older ones did. And no, disagreeing is not the same as challenging. They're just there to occasionally be rescued or to be a sort of comedic/emotional foil to the Doctor. It's just all so bad compared to the older series.
