One of the things I have found interesting about Davies writing about Christianity in Doctor Who is whenever its mentioned, it is usually in either a positive or neutral context. Considering that he is gay, it's something I wouldn't have expected.
You dig in to him and it makes sense. This is a man that has seen hatred come from those not just of faith but also from his own side. He’s also seen acceptance from both.

He understands it is the people that are the issue, not faith or lackthereof.
 
Dr. Who was a tumblr thing in the USA wasn't it? BBC America started to fund the series with Matt Smith after Tennant had carried the series to it's peak modern popularity around the same time.
Only when "Superwholock" was a thing, a bizarre tumblr fandom of fujoshit types who worshipped the male characters of Supernatural, Who, and Sherlock, and constantly shipped them and did other degenerate shit.

He used to be more sane than he is currently. WokeWorld really fucked up a lot of minds.

He was the one that brought back davros. Compare how he talks about Davros when he first brought him back in tennants run to when He "brought him back" in that one special. You can tell how fake and skinwalkery all the shit he says in the second one is even without the comparison but it really shows how intensely the current "politics clout fueled speech patterns" just distort how people talk about things and how it always leads to censorship and dogmatic hatred disguised as a "more matured perspective" or whatever the people afflicted by this call it. It's been happening for over a decade now and it's fucking never gonna stop kinda fucking me up whenever I see this change happen with people because you can 100% tell it's not coming from a genuine place.

Yeah, all things considered Moffat was more anti religious than Davies at first, almost a borderline a fedora tipper.

Let's not forget that early on his run his first main bad guys were literally cartoonishly evil catholics in space, and the minotaur episode he approved had the Aesop that "faith is bad."

But to be fair he mellowed out later on. The space Catholics turned out to be just a splinter group of a not so bad religion, and Moffat had actual Catholics represented respectfully all things considered.

if it werent for the bible russel wouldnt have half his symbolism he uses for the finales
 
I heard from some people the moffat written episode is actually tolerable and has some good moments but I'm not paying disney+ to fucking see it.

He’s quite litterally brought the doctor back into existence by thoughts and prayers.
Implied managing to keep someone from being erased from existence by freaky time shit by retaining knowledge of their existence after most people forgot is not the same thing as saying "thoughts and prayers" in response to someone going through hard times.

My point is someone essentially doing the action of thoughts and prayers has saved him routinely and obviously.

So his own work has proved people doing fhat is a good thing and not useless.
 
New episode's on the iplayer now. Russell must have a boner for Wales that makes him write better, because that was his best episode since Tennant came back. Some parts were a tad on the clunky side though, not to mention I imagine a fair few people will bounce off the ending.
 
Anyone seen the latest lecture, er, episode?
It was OK, very hateable protagonist and there was an obvious racism bit at the end where they refuse the Doctor's help and sail off to almost certain death in the wilderness. Credit where credit's due, the Doctor didn't bring up race at all, he was just extremely frustrated that they wouldn't let him save them.

It was the first scene Nctui shot after The Giggle which makes it somewhat impressive.
 
That’s literally the most retard thing he’s ever said.

He’s quite litterally brought the doctor back into existence by thoughts and prayers.

Not to mention all the other times thoughts and prayers have been used to combat stuff in his work.
I 'member when thoughts and prayers about a baby stopped someone from becoming a Cyberman back for Doc' 11
