Doctor Who

[Iono]

Is it just me or is Capaldi is much better this season? Like I know he's a good actor, I don't think it was him, just the writing. To me, The Doctor has truly arrived this episode (Zygon Inversion).

[Meph]

I dont know if its him or the writers, but hes been getting progressively better for each episode (or, Im just getting more used to him). the guitar shiznit feels kinda cheesy but also differentiate him from previous doctors.

[Deftscythe]

His speech at the end of this episode was the first time he's felt like the Doctor to me since he started.

12th speeches have always been awesome.



I never really liked the 11th... and I probably triggered so many fans saying that.

[Iono]

Iono, for me the 11th stepped in right into the Doctors shoes in his first episode, with his speech to that Starship. As for the 12th he barely knew who he was the first season. I don't blame Capaldi because that's what the writing was. So what could he do? Doesn't mean I have to like it though.

It's ok I trigger people by admitting I wasn't the biggest fan of 10

[Myrrh_Quetz]

9 will always be my favorite. Capaldi started out slow but has finally grown into the role. Shame he won't be around too long. 11 I didn't like till after Amy and Rory left. He just seemed....too cartoony for me.

[TummieGaruda]

He will be around for one more series at least. I guess he didn't know how exhausting shooting the series would be (they usually shoot from Jan thru Sept).

[Exoduso]

This episode was brilliant. With each 2-parter this season I'm growing more fondly of Capaldi as The Doctor, unlike the atrocity that was Series 8.
Shame he's supposedly not sticking around for much longer.

So there's one more 2-parter before the season finale huh? I hate how fast these seasons go.

To my knowledge apparently episode 9 and 10 aren't two parters but 11 and 12 are. Also

Spoiler: show

Clara's fate is linked to episode 10

In addition to that, there is a very awesome rumor going around that in episode 12

Spoiler: show

There is a de-regeneration scene where the Doctor goes through some of his past faces. Supposedly Tennant and Smith filmed a scene for this, but there hasn't been any hard evidence to back this up yet

[Exoduso]

Um... what the hell was this episode? >.>

You're not the only one. I was so happy when 10 was gone, far overrated, buoyed by solid writing for the majority of his tenure. We're in the minority though.

Lol, the Reddit thread for this episode is the most hate I've seen an episode of Doctor Who get since the Kill the Moon episode. Might actually even be more.

[Deftscythe]

Kill The Moon wasn't even the worst episode of last season. The episode with the trees solved the crisis with no intervention from the Doctor.

Anyways, excited for the shit show.

[Vil]

I had to keep checking the time remaining when I watched my recording. I struggled getting through that.

[Meph]

I dont think it was so bad, but it was kinda stupid having it so close after under the lake

[Vil]

I think that's a big part of it. It wasn't a particularly strong episode on its own merits, but considering some of the recent ones, it looks worse by comparison. This season has been pretty good, so I expect this to just be a minor blip and they'll bounce back.

[Intrinsic]

This episode wasn't that bad. Making people sing 'Mr. Sandman' every time they entered a room would be pretty hilarious.

This episode wasn't that bad. Making people sing 'Mr. Sandman' every time they entered a room would be pretty hilarious.

The Doctor yelling "none of this makes any sense!" essentially summed up the episode. It's textbook filler and coming off a strong episode *really* shows it has nothing to offer.

Not quite dragon egg moon spider nonsense but pretty junk.

Edit: It just came to my attention this episode had no title sequence. Good, it didn't deserve one.

[TummieGaruda]

I very rarely say this about a Doctor Who episode (even Kill the moon) but what the hell did I just watch? I mean, some Mark Gatiss (Mycroft from Sherlock) stories aren't that bad but this one was just out of place. I read that this was written as a two part story but had to condense it to one episode and a sequel is supposedly in the works.

Also next episode

Major spoiler

Spoiler: show

Ashildr returns and supposedly this is the episode that Clara's fate will be decided
