I like Jack and Rose as much as the next one, but I'd rather they stretch those thirty seconds forever, even if they need to keep giving Nine amnesia

He's popped off and left Rose for a few minutes here and there, plenty of time for new adventures and companions. Ten did it!

RTD wasn't as liberal as Moffat with giving BF space to throw stories in, but there's a lot of room between episodes with Jack/Rose/9, and while it was heavily implied 9 had just regenerated in Rose, it's not necessarily so. There's room for a lot there, though it'd probably be solo adventures or one off companions because IIRC he may have said onscreen he hadn't traveled with anyone til he brought Rose on.

They just have to have Nine avoid any and all reflective surfaces until he meets Rose.

Only Nine's goodbye speech worked. Preparing Rose (and the viewer) for the shock that was about to hit. Really wonderful stuff. Ten's was like, 30 minutes of seeing old friends? Eleven wasn't so bad but imaginary Amy was a bit much. Twelves's goodbye wasn't all that great either.


Best ever was Four.

You can say the same for just about every Doctor other than maybe One, Two, Three, and Eight (and only on technicality since he’s only had 1.25 tv episodes!) though.

Yeah I really liked Doctor Ruth and it still shocks me that her version of the TARDIS is better in literally every way than 13's TARDIS.



It's just such a good modernisation of the original 1963 console room. I don't get why when the art department can create something that nice and minimalist we have to be stuck with the terrible fake looking crystals.

This is so good. I know they likely had no budget so they just redressed the set pieces they had on hand but id like to see it with an updated console as well.

So, does Capaldi have the largest gap in quality between best and worst episodes of any Doctor? Because it feels like he does, with some actively offensive episodes and then Heaven Sent on thebother side.

Someone is going to mention the Twin Dilemma and Vengeance on Varos and I will be forced to throw hands.

That would be a great pull. Have the episode follow her for half an episode without giving the game away, and then have her run into the Doctor and co.

Wasn't the rumored plot of her first season that she was split into four pieces that would meet at somepoint, each with their own companion?

How would that even work? Would, like, her left arm and part of her torso and head be one of the four pieces?

That would be the best possible version. But from what I remember she was going to be split into "temporal fragments" or something.
