Whats with the Capaldi love here? It must be entirely down to the Thick of It because he has been unmittigatingly ste as Doc Who so far. Woeful series.
So far 3 eps, 1st was mediocre, 2nd great, 3rd dross. It's not Capaldi, but the stories. I'm willing to see where the series goes before condemning himChim said:
Have tried giving it a couple of Episodes to settle in, just caught up on the third episode though on inlayer, holy titty christ, to say it was God awful would be a huge understatement, a 10 year would have considered it a bit immature. Cappaldi also seems to be really struggling, he just comes across as very uncomfortable and split in the role he is supposed to be adopting and is completely overshadowed by his assistant. We have went from a doctor that was so cowed from violence that he needed therapy every time he stood on an Ant to one that looks on the verge of a complete psychotic breakdown whenever his name is mentioned. There have points when it looked like he was on the cusp of violently raping his assistant.
They really need to up the game here, immature story lines and Doctor that appears to be completely lost as to the character he is supposed to portray is not a promising combination
Probably about where I feel on itThey really need to up the game here, immature story lines and Doctor that appears to be completely lost as to the character he is supposed to portray is not a promising combination
Put simply he is TOO OLD. I'm old too but he seems REALLY OLD
I think he will only do the one series then be gone anyway.
Each to their own but I think an actor in his 30s would do better his name hasn't come up but Joseph McFadden is maybe the sort I think it needs.
The "promised land" arc is difficult to work out I got the Bad Wolf and Torchwood references in earlier series even down to predicting what torchwood would turn out to be. This one is a lot harder to fathom
All the old doctors were old. Young Peter Davidson was quite a shock when he materialised. Age is not relevant to the character as the body is just a sack the time lord wears for a while.
This series will find its feet I am sure as the main theme and the mystery lady intertwine in later episodes.

So Missy will start dancing to the theme tune then ?This series will find its feet I am sure as the main theme and the mystery lady intertwine in later episodes.
This one or maybe the KLF one ?

Best Ep so far, very well done.
Really? I struggled to watch it only looked up when I heard Clara talking...It demanded that you pay attention though.
Jenna Coleman was very good. She's maturing into a good actor.
Clara is the "companion" most entwined with the Doctor's Timeline. From the beginning to the end. The Barn was a twist going back to the "Day of the Doctor" and "Name of the Doctor". It was perhaps a bit too clever this early in the series. We know Clara "Knows" all the Doctor's. Establishing her as the Doctors "origin" may be a step too far? And To be honest I do not like the Danny Pink Character. It harks back to "Mickey" too much and that's smacks of repetition. Mickey was a great character that established himself very well in the Who Universe. Pink looks to close to Noel Clarke and the character feels too close as well.

They can't really ignore it though, Clara now arguably is one of the most important companions and they kind of need to acknowledge the link she has to him (although technically aren't they all different Clara's that he's "met"?)Nice twist I suppose and I can warm to the Pink character. I enjoyed it as a whole but I did feel like a lot of it was familiar. Something living in the dark? Forest of the Dead, end of the universe? Utopia. I feel like there was more too, crossing timelines, "enemies" you can't look at, the Angels, the Silence.
The thing that's bothering me now, end of last series, big revelation, the Time Lords are alive and are bestowing new regen-cycles from their hidden pocket universe. The last incarnation dies defending them. Yet, not a mention about that so far. Odd.
