Especially the "wee cherubs" they scare the bejezzzuuuzzzz oot me
I still have recurring DON'T BLINK flashbacks in nightmares.
It was a brilliant concept- stone angels, the dark, blink, the horror!
those were the days, my friends. we thought they never ended.
they ended.
can't even watch doctor who anymore.
@QueenOfEverything @ecksmc
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...
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
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)
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 💙
@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
