I've tried... So many times... Watched a couple of Cipaldi... But after Tennent and Smith.. it doesn't feel the same? The whole River Song secondary overlay was so good...
Whitaker and Gatwa.... Again a couple episodes to try... Just feels like the writers have lost something?

Sigh...

@InvaderGzim @ecksmc

Peter Capaldi was robbed- those were THE WORST SCRIPTS EVER! If he had been given even a half good script- he could have been brilliant. I can't believe he stayed with it as long as he did.

sigh... i miss the doctor.

@QueenOfEverything @InvaderGzim

I would disagree with worst scripts ever

Capaldi raign we saw a heck of a lot of tie in's to old who as well as the whole the Dr created the daleks twist - same as Jodie Whittaker raign - again not every episode was awesome or even good but they deffo weren't all bad - Whittaker we saw the drs real identity being revealed and the cyberman-timelord twist with the brilliant "master" actor was awesome imo

@QueenOfEverything @InvaderGzim

I'm a diehard whovian though lol I'll always see a + or at least look for one in episodes - sometimes it takes a few watches to "get it"

Cross reference with older episodes also sometimes makes the penny drop on what an episode is really about

@ecksmc @InvaderGzim

I'm "dedicated" but not diehard. I watched the series from the early days. But I identified with the Doctors more than then the continuity of the series.

My favorites were Colin Baker, Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Christopher Eccleston, & David Tennant.

I also really enjoyed Sarah Jane Smith & Clara Oswald (the impossible girl)

@ecksmc @InvaderGzim

I'm going to go back and rewatch The Capaldi Episodes and see what I think (feel) now.

@QueenOfEverything @InvaderGzim taking on Davros, the Fisher King, Lady Me, Zygons, or even that nefarious sleep dust you might wake up with in the corner of your eyes… they all failed to match the insidious evil of the Time Lords themselves and their little Confession Dial/torture chamber. Although I wasn’t quite sold on the sudden urgency of the threat of the Hybrid, Heaven Sent was truly one of the best hours of the Capaldi era

@QueenOfEverything @InvaderGzim

Capaldi’s Twelfth Doctor came in bold, blunt, and unapologetic. He was 2,000 years old. He was once known as the Doctor of War, and he owned it. He wasn’t here to play games, and if something wasn’t important or interesting to him, he’d delete it from his brain.

I think the Capaldi era might even age better than any of the other new Doctor’s. He presented a flavour of the classic version mixed with the new.

@QueenOfEverything @InvaderGzim

After all, Capaldi was 5 years old when he watched An Unearthly Child when it was first aired, back in 1963. He’d been there from the beginning, so he brought a unique perspective when playing the role.

Enjoy it its deffo worth a rewatch 💙

@InvaderGzim @QueenOfEverything

Best episodes of the new series has to be Stephen Moffat episodes

I did like some of RTD's episodes especially nearer end of series I like the fact he brought an old enemy back and the way he has made some curious about older series's - that said he does seem to be trying to re-wright the whoniverse in his vision which I can see backfiring a lot for the show

@ecksmc @InvaderGzim

I liked "BOOM" but that was the only Stephen Moffat I saw. RTD has just turned me off... don't know if it's his ego or inability to let go of control because it's not making the series better.

@QueenOfEverything @InvaderGzim

I don't think he got over the fact BBC went with moffat as lead writer after RTDs 1st series with Eccleston wasn't as successful as BBC hoped - it took me year before I even watched that 1st reboot series srsly I watched the next two series's with Tennant before circling back to watch Eccleston series - and tbh that series is probably the worst I've seen as a whole - again it did have its + side the "bad wolf" throughout I liked which set up future episodes

@ecksmc @InvaderGzim

That makes sense... I loved the Eccleston series- as a stand alone- enjoyed his hardcore masculine version & The Love Story (i know, i know).

But I jumped right into David Tennant immediately. Loved the way they solved the dilemma by creating their own universe for Rose & the Doctor.

I appreciated Matt Smith- but he was so hyper & quirky. Rose could never have loved him... neither could I. Good acting- I watched all the episodes.
