Disney is such a massive conglomerate at this point, I don’t even know what that vibe would be

Safe and unchallenging. Entertaining without much depth that you forget about shortly after.

To be clear I agree with you and don't think this is happening with Who, just that it is a thing to look out for.

I think Disney did fuck up the show, but just through the deal in general, not through any direct creative interference. Their refusal to say whether or not they were extending the deal until (presumably) after The War Between The Land And The Sea has aired really fucked up the rhythm of production, and has led to some indirect creative shenanigans (ie. pretty much forcing Ncuti Gatwa to leave because he needs to work, which forced a big rewrite to the end of S2 etc.)

Also if rumours are to be believed, the extra Disney budget didn't even help that much because they apparently insisted on everything being in 4K HDR, which ate up most of the time and budget anyway.

@ValueSubtracted Well … the obvious ones may be- singing with those goblins - singing a musical at the end „always a twist“ - the whole ending double episode based on a pure fairytale … 7th child of a … kissing and wishing to make things come true. Here in earth. Yeah. Sure. I know, aliens landing here … I know I know but anyway for me it’s a different level 🫣- Yasmin just being a mother having a baby with looking back to scenes we never saw this way? (1/3)
