Part 4/7:
A Culture of Apathy
The episode's release has seemed to amplify a larger issue within the modern television landscape—audiences' fatigue and indifference towards franchises that were once vital cultural staples. The sentiments shared reflect a community that feels disappointed by what they perceive as misguided creative choices and a departure from the core essence that made Doctor Who enjoyable.
As fans navigate the disappointment associated with waning storytelling quality and perceived "woke" agendas, discussions of the franchise's health have become tepid. This apathy is indicative of a broader trend affecting various franchises, where attempts to appeal to a modern audience often result in alienating longtime fans.
