twistedmentat posted:Something that annoyed me about later Capaldi was his transformation into Cool Dad Doctor. It was like he walked onto set and went "I am going to wear what I came in on, and give me sunglasses and let me play my guitar. No. It was just a random child actress with no lines who regenerates into a dozen other random kids with no lines.

I actually really, REALLY love that the whole mystery with "Why was 14 Tennant again" turned out be just straight up "The Doctor is deeply loving traumatised and running on fumes and essentially regressed into something familiar to try and find comfort". That was genuinely very touching and I didn't see it coming at all. You managed one hell of a job Rusty.

Tennant did such a fantastic job of of selling 14 as someone who has been run ragged and about to break too. You could really feel it over the course of these episodes just how much The Doctor had all this built up emotion that was now seeping out through the cracks.

Was also really nice to see Mel get to be a serious, competent professional on screen who wasn't just there to shriek and run around.

Infinitum posted:"Ok, 'kid'. I love you.. get out" This bit made me go "Oh hell yes!" for the next episode. Goddamn that man has style.

Time itself got extremely melty and the rules of what are and aren't possible now have a lot more give in them. The whole point of it is that it doesn't make quite make sense because the fundamental structure of the universe has broken down and is lot a less rigid around the edges. ie: Doctor Who isn't even bothering to pretend anymore. It's just a fantasy adventure series that runs on space magic.

I thought it was nice that The Doctor got to give himself a hug for once. That was very sweet.

Jodie is absolutely lovely and I really do hope that one day she can get a run of Doctor Who scripts that will truly let her shine. It feels really unfair that by far her best episode, the one where Thirteen finally felt like the Doctor she should always have been allowed to be, was her last.
