Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 My almost-final analysis: - 9 and 12 are my favorite Doctors - Clara is my favorite companion and for sure Capaldi and Jenna Coleman had the best chemistry - Not a Pond fan - A lot of people seem to to criticize 12's episodes, but 11's were weakest for me. His first season was pretty good, but the show became ludicrous and many episodes were nearly unwatchable - Season 8 is my favorite season and I would argue the strongest overall - 10 is a bit overrated - I feel like they basically ruined River Song in the time between her introduction and the last one she did with 12 - 9's regeneration was the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pieter Boelen 740 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Does anyone have the faintest clue if there will be an "all in one" box set containing seasons 1-10 plus specials for the new series? I've been trying to figure out which exact discs to buy to get it all, but it's very nearly rocket science to figure that out for some reason.

mstrox 6,647 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 It's been a while (Series 7 maybe?) since they did a complete box. Buying "The Complete Series ______" releases for 1-10, plus the release "The Complete Specials" (which compiles the four specials after series 4 but before series 5) should get you everything. Always go "Complete Series" - avoid the half-series releases (i.e. Series 7 Part 1 and Part 2) because they don't include their respective holiday specials Pieter Boelen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 And I guess "Twice Upon a Time" the upcoming Xmas special will have to be bought separately since they're putting out the Complete Series 10 release before it. It certainly wouldn't be included with the Series 11 release since they never cross Doctors on these home video sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstrox 6,647 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I still haven't seen beyond the third episode of series 9, but I'm excited to binge them eventually, when time presents itself. My spouse dropped out at the end of S8. Might be able to talk her into watching again with a new doctor, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 My wife also lost a lot of interest with the Capaldi era. She watched them all with me, but never was very enthusiastic for him, even as he got much more friendly and good-natured with series 9 and 10.

mstrox 6,647 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I really liked what I saw of Capaldi, but I lost my viewing partner and gained a kid, so I just couldn't keep up. Thankfully, being as far behind as I am, I likely won't find myself anxiously awaiting the next episode/season as I was for much of the Matt Smith era anytime soon (I was a latecomer and got to binge S1-4).

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I discovered the show in the summer of 2007, between the end of the Martha season and the Titanic Xmas special. It was awful back then because I didn't have cable and it was still when Sci Fi channel waited months to air them anyway. Keeping up with the show via crappy multi-part Youtube uploads that would get taken down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 For sure, she was weaker during 11th Doctor. But she was a literally flawless and perfect character beginning with season 8, which is my favorite season and I would argue the best of the entire series. It's better than everything.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 So many great classic episodes that season. I love "Listen," "Time Heist," "Mummy on the Orient Express," "Kill the Moon," and "Flatline." But as an overall season arc I didn't think it held together. Outside of introducing Missy, which is obviously amazing, I thought the ending two-parter was pretty flat honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,177 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I started watching the series between the Smith and Capaldi eras. I'm in the same boat as Pieter. I'll wait to see if they're going to do a complete, affordable box set with all 4 (+ War) Doctors. Otherwise I'll have to start picking up the individual releases.

Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Last Christmas is fabulous. My favourite before that was "A Christmas Carol" but even that was a bit wonky, "Last Christmas" is nearly flawless in my eyes. Touching and frequently hilarious.

Sweeping Strings 2,346 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I had a lot of fun with last year's Christmas special ... 'The Return Of Doctor Mysterio' benefited enormously, IMHO, from being the only bit of new Who we got in 2016. The break had clearly done Moffat a lot of good, because it was a delight ... light and whimsical with some very funny jokes, a hugely entertaining take on superhero mythology and nothing to overly baffle 'casual' viewers (which you will inevitably get when families are gathered together for the festive season, if you see what I mean). Proper family entertainment, if I may be so bold . Docteur Qui 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Yeah, I liked that one too.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 That never happened to me with 12. The worst 12 for me admittedly was in season 9, that two-parter with the ghosts in the sea base. I basically stopped watching during many of 11's later episodes. I would have them on and just lose interest, hope the next one was better. It's the worst the modern Who has gotten for sure. Season 8 redeemed the series for me.
