      Ah, but “the clip” is prolly referring to basically the climax of the episode, if it’s the clip where the Doctor takes him to the Musée d’Orsay.

      But you miss all the buildup of the episode, and personally I think Doctor Who is very good at it. They show Van Gogh’s desperation and loneliness in the episode. And then to have that sort of fantastical acceptance from the entire world.

      There’s a lot of that sort of story in Doctor Who, I greatly recommend. As far as scifi goes, Dr Who is whimsical and emotional and doesn’t really care about tiny details of tech and lore as opposed to Star Trek which is like very methodical and logical and clinical.

      In Doctor Who emotions are the hero in like at least half the stories. This wasn’t even one of them, just a random monster story basically.
