Really enjoyed The Toymaker. Little bit irked by the way he was defeated but was fantastically terrifying for most of the episode.

 

Given the Doctor has 2 hearts, I thought they could have spinned the bi-regeneration thing a bit better to split a part of him out rather than essentially becoming a clone of himself.

 

Leaves a few plotholes particularly with Jodie's Doctor. Would he/she have been happier with Yaz rather than Donna?

 

Also isn't there also David Tennant's Meta-Crisis Doctor with Rose Tyler somewhere in the universe? (Whatever happened to that storyline?!)

 

Either way I'm pretty sure David Tennant WILL return at some stage, hence the open ending. Would love to see Matt Smith again in some form too but not sure where this ending would leave that. Where there's a will, RTD can make anything happen

 

Let's see what happens in the Christmas episode though. Millie Gibson was great on Coronation Street and will be a good addition imo

A good episode. As long as the scripts are great then I think Ncuti and Millie have a lot to offer going forward with future episodes. They both have the ability and time to grow and develop into the roles.the feedback I've seen on Facebook suggests everyone enjoyed the episode. Maybe this is the rejuvenation the show needed!.

Rejuvenation is a good word for it. The whole episode felt fresh.

I somehow feel Matt Smith has moved on from doctor who. Whenever asked at events if hed ever return he seems to just laugh and be like "i might come back as a villain" i think cause hes reached Hollywood he thinks he doesnt need this show. He got what wanted from it.

I don’t get the impression he sees himself as above Doctor Who. He’s got that Netflix/GoT/Marvel money, and is surely very in demand. He wouldn’t do the various conventions if he didn’t like meeting fans and being associated with the show. I’m sure he’s said before he regretted leaving when he did and wished to have stayed on another year.


I also read somewhere that he’d never seen the show before being cast, and ended up getting so into it he was writing fanfic? lol

 

I think his stance just firmly in the middle of Tennant’s (would return at the drop of a hat), and Capaldi’s (feels his character arc is complete and returning would take away from it). He’s keeping the door open for one day, but there’s no need for him to come back to a franchise that would have him any time with open arms when right now he’s a genuine big name.

 

 

This is all my imagination. I’ve got no clue how he really feels of course. He played a brilliant Doctor though. Hands down my favourite.

So...I grew up with Doctor Who. My dad got me into it, although I remember the books as much as the actual show. 

 

With the release of the specials on Disney, I got back into it.

 

There was a change in my cable package and sometime during the 10th Doctor, I'd lost track of the show and always meant to get back to it, but I hadn't til now.

 

On the 11th Doctor now and although it took me a bit to liking him, he's brilliant.

 

Can't believe it's took me this long to return to it.

Used to love it. Now it's... meh.

 

Maybe it's an age thing.

That's how I felt about the first episode of this new season.

 

Was very excited, but wow... this was super disappointing.

I probably shouldn't have put the episode on last night. It was quite late and I was a bit 'special'. I actually watched the first 20 minutes of "The Church on Ruby Road" before I realized it wasn't the new one lol

 

In re-watching it(Space Babies) today, I actually quite liked it. Not a classic, but entertaining enough.

 

I do like the new Doctor and Ruby.

 

The next episode looks promising.

I think there is going to be a lot of mixed reactions to the new Doctor Who.  I actually liked both episodes and Ncuti is a natural showman( or  showoff ) if you prefer.  Russell T Davies does seem to be playing to Ncutis strengths. My only gripe is it's clearly shown in America and other countries before being on the BBC ( no fair) so I do have to try and avoid( in the words of Alex Kingston (Spoliers).

The second episode was terrible.  This season is going to be marmite.

I enjoyed it, but it seems people are split on the season so far.

 

Third episode is Moffat written, which is usually good.

Really great episode which is no surprise from Steven Moffat. It also starred the doctors next companion after ruby played by Varada Sethu.

I gave up on DrWho after Capaldi and Moffat left, Chibbers era was awful, I stopped watching since it made Colin Bakers run look top quality compared to it.

The new RTD era thus far has not impressed to be honest, until this stand alone story which felt like Who from the Tennant/Smith era,  a  restrained well written  story  that leaves the viewer having to fill in the blanks thus making you think  7/10.

The first episode of the season was one of the worst, most cringeworthy stories in its entire 61 year history. 

 

The second, although well written and performed, featured the Doctor immobilised and he barely featured at all in the third. It reminds me of the fifth Doctor, who initially seemed to spend most of his time incapacitated, unconscious, recovering and recuperating or in emotional meltdown whilst his companions saved the day.
