capaldi can play the role so effortlessly, that with his doctor also being quirky, funny and also a great orator is what makes him my favourite. weird really a couple of years back i was contempt that tennant wouldn't ever be outclassed as my favourite

I think most people didn't know what to expect out of Capeldi honestly.

what are your fave DW villains/aliens

Vashta Nerada take my win

scariest aliens for me as a kid were the slitheen the were creepy as hell slept with a bottle of vinegar next to me for a good amount of time
favourite alien('s) are probably the cybermen(mondasian/original version as seen in world enough and time) and lazarus

i could never like capeldi because he followed up after matt smith, and no one is topping that

the show is self aware



also whats everyones opinion on the christmas special/capaldi's departing episode(ep 10/11)
imo they were great, the mondasians were eerie and disturbing and the christmas special was just satisfying. glad they didnt give capaldi a vale decem leave or i would be crying rivers

honestly I was a casual watcher of doctor who with tennant and matt smith (my fav) but capaldi just totally bored me and I didn't find him funny or particularly interesting to watch, completely lost interest

you should give him another go, season 8 was purely down to bad writing by moffat and most of the episodes just felt like fillers.
season 9 gets interesting, and season 10 is just great he'll grow on you loads

never vomited more violently in my life



alas chibnall ruined his opportunity to create a great season and has now only made us crave capaldi even more. the worst part is they didnt even do bradley walsh justice


put this poor dog down and give us back our favourite scottish madman

moment of silence for the unfortunate american who had to subtitle this on the stephen colbert show

opinion on first episode:

Spoiler

• was ok
• writing wise it wasnt bad
• grace's death was rushed and not very emotional
• even though it was ok it felt nothing like doctor who
• felt like i was watching a jacked up version of midsomer murders rather than an ep of dw
• 3 companions is too much, keep bradley walsh

jodie is good at being quirky but when she tries to be serious the acting quality deteriorates and it doesnt really suit her

don't really like it, it was alright as i said but it feels nothing like doctor who so i dont see myself watching it anymore

He did for like 2 episodes, think it was for the end of tennants third season. Which I coincidentally rewatched last night.

show has been shit for years

its some nerdy fad that some kids grow out of an others dont

I loved the writing in the Chris Eccleston episodes but the shitty 2005 TV special effects brought them down a whole lot.

Chris Eccleston episodes were pretty dark and held a more serious tone imo.

Tbh I mostly just occasionally catch up with the new series and grab the odd audio book for long journeys now. Not the huge fan I was ten or so years back.

Its a shame he left when he did tbh, he had some of the best storytelling at least early on.

A lot of the doctors have overloaded their characters with comedy, when I think Eccleston could always be pretty funny for everyone with his sort of dry humor he brought to the character.



Good example


The Doctor Dances is by far one of my favorite episodes in the entire series, along with the season finally. Like I said, watching these episodes is hard because the effects in them are actual dog shit because of the age it was made in, but if you can get past them, genuinely great story telling and clever writing.



Great scene from him

Tbh my fave Doctor has probably become Eight, who only appeared on screen once in the 1996 movie and in an official mini-short in... 2014? I think. But luckily he's gotten something like 130 episode-length official audio books. He's brilliant, well worth checking out all the stuff by Big Finish.

99% of the time they use the actual cast members for the Doctor(s) and their companions too.
