![]() ![]() I’m not personally a fan of her redemption arc anyway, I never really bought it even though I like Missy a lot (i know that’s a controversial opinion but that’s just how I feel), but I still liked the idea of her and Simm together, in theory. I think Missy’s just a little too wishy washy with regards to whether she’s siding with the master or the doctor. Just let the Mondasians be the villains making the Cybermen. I don’t think the Dark Water story’s anywhere near as good but I at least buy the Master’s involvement there. It’s like Moffat didn’t trust the Cybermen to just be the main villain. Both cliffhangers are the same with a cool Cyberman reveal immediately undercut by a Master reveal. And in the end it was the second finale in Capaldi’s run that featured both the Master and the Cybermen, with the Cybermen taking a step back both times. I wanted a proper sinister creepy Cybermen finale which WE&T set up perfectly, but we also have to fit in the Masters shenanigans, Missy’s arc being completed etc. ![]() But I don’t think these two plots mix well together. WE&T was the best the Cybermen have ever been presented in NuWho by far in my opinion and then the master reveal is pretty cool on its own. I wouldn’t necessarily say there’s a lot wrong with it, it’s got the great kindness speech and I love 12 & Bill’s relationship, but it just didn’t go the direction I hoped it would. Again, just found this one really boring and with a very unsubtle message. I probably like power of the doctor even more but that was more of a fanservice vehicle than an episode, plus I didn’t wanna include multi doctor episodes. A shame the rest of flux couldn’t stick the landing but this episode was really great. I was honestly blown away by how much I enjoyed this one cos I’d never been that keen on the angels outside of blink. Whittaker’s best - Village of the angels. World enough & time is also great but the second part stops it from being the best.Ĭapaldi’s worst - In the forest of the night. His best more traditional episode is harder to decide, I’d probably go with the Under the Lake two parter. Almost feels unfair to compare it to other episodes because it doesn’t always feel like a doctor who episode, but simply a magnificent performance from Capaldi. Maybe I should give it another try, but this whole era with 11 & Clara felt rough to me with this being the weakest episode.Ĭapaldi’s best - Heaven sent. I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed an episode less on a first viewing and I’ve never gone back to this one. Smith’s worst - Journey to the centre of the TARDIS. A lot of Moffat’ “bigger” stories for Smith I often felt became too complicated for their own good, but this episode is very strong. But as a full package I think Smith has the strongest intro ever. Most people would go with the Van Gogh episode which is also great but I don’t want to go for that one on the strength of just that scene, which probably is the best scene of Smith’s era. Smith’s best - I actually think it’s his first episode. Love & monsters is the star wars prequel trilogy of Doctor Who - reviled when it came out, and now people have grown up and become nostalgic for it and claim it’s actually great. Tennant’s worst - The episode right after. But it’s very well written with one of the if not the best one off supporting ensemble cast ever. I can’t think of many stories quite like it, and it’s a concept that should be really silly with it basically being the devil. I recently watched the library two parter for the first time in years and no I still think satan pit beats it. Tennant’s best - The Satan Pit two parter. Not bad, just kinda mediocre, plus I find him leaving Adam on present day earth with some 2000th century technology in his brain for people to discover extremely jarring, like the doctor would not do that nowadays and if they did people would be super mad. Just a perfect story and probably my favourite Who story except for one later, but certainly my favourite ‘traditional’ story.Įccleston’s worst - The Long Game. I haven’t seen classic who enough yet to have a comprehensive opinion on them all.Įccleston’s best - The Empty Child two parter. Red numbers are estimates until the airtime is confirmed # New User?
