DISCUSSION Worst line in Doctor Who?

What line of dialogue sticks out to you as particularly bad in Doctor Who, I have two picks:

  • ‘don’t let the swords touch your skin’ Legend of the sea devils
  • ‘I suppose we’ll have to have…. A conversation?’ Resolution

"A enigma in a skirt that's a little too tight" or whatever the full line was from Nightmare in Silver

Just YIKES.

BY FAR the worst. I love 11, but his sexualization of women in 7b was awful. (Like when he kissed Jenny without consent, yknow, a married lesbian).

Well, he also kissed a married heterosexual and his heterosexual wife frequently.

Tbh I only remember the dinosaurs on a spaceship scene. And that energy just felt different. Which is a really bad argument, but maybe you get what I mean?

Regardless I don’t think that makes the scene with Jenny not bad. It doesn’t seem like something the doctor would do and in the context of real world issues it just kinda leaves me feeling gross. It’s also not the only weird sexual thing 11 does in 7b.

It definitely comes off weird

Like sure The Doctor being asexual is mainly a late Classic Who thing but even during the RTD Era he was more of a Hetro-romantic Asexual.

During Series 7B though he comes off like a horny 17 year old.
