I mean it's unfortunate but it's the reality of the program, everything is seen in the light of what came before.

Also it's Moffat's fault.

If it makes you feel a tiny bit better, imo 12 arguably has the best episode of the modern series under his belt, and that's all down to Peter Capaldi's skills as an actor as well.

Which one?

Heaven Sent.

I will die on the hill that it wouldn't have been as impactful with 10 or 11 and I do like David Tennant as an actor normally (not so sure about him in Doctor Who with hindsight to be honest.)

da

yeah, eccleston might have been able to pull that one off but tennant and smith would have had too much fun with the premise

Agree about Eccleston, 9 had just about the same level of simmering rage and quiet melancholy and I can see him delivering some of those monologues. It's not an insult on David and Matt, who have also had some epic moments as their Doctors, but I personally just can't imagine that particular episode working with those two incarnations.

(In all this talk of it being a well-acted episode, I am of course leaving aside the headache debate regarding The Doctor being The Doctor anymore if he's copied and pasted himself constantly for billions of years...)

NAYRT That was such a fantastic episode (and so freaking sad).

As a fellow Twelve fan, I agree. I do like Ten and Eleven (and Nine and Thirteen), but it feels like those two incarnations get way more love than the rest of the Nu Who Doctors.

I had been on the hate-12 train up until Capaldi's last series which really changed my mind with Bill and Nardole as his companions. Looking back a lot of my dislike came more from badly written episodes rather than Capaldi's performance.

That final season with him, Bill, and Nardole was the best. I wish we could have gotten another season out of that trio because they were great (come on, Big Finish).

Any doctor is better than 11 tbh.

11 was a fine doctor and it's not his fault what happened during his run any more than it's 5's fault or 6's fault
