Emi M @anxiouswholockian Jan 31 While some episodes were more iffy than others, I love 12 and Clara's chemistry far more than 11 and Clara's. They just meshed together better and Moffat actually learned how to write better stories (even though it made Clara' character more confusing. It felt like he just made it seem like season 7 didnt happen?? Bringing up no references whatsoever, despite them being heavily influential for both characters??? It just felt like he was trying to rewrite Clara's whole character, which is odd to me. She deserved better writing imo) Despite that, I love their relationship. Danny was lowkey an annoying character, he could have also been written better, they did him dirty fr See more Fan O @RT73657206 Apr 20 This 5 stars may make you think I think this season is flawless. I don't. But it's perfect to me. I could go on about how I think one line went too far, or how Danny and Clara needed more chemistry, but this season truly showcased the Doctor and Clara at their best and worsts and it's beautiful. This season explore both of their flaws thoroughly, and does it while having a very fun time. Time heist is an exciting if a bit unimaginative execution of it's concept, and Mummy on the Orient Express mixes drama, character exploration, and mystery(if not the kind you'd expect in a murder mystery) to perfection. Missy was a highlight, as she will go on to be, and the complexities of her relationship with the doctor and view of the world never ceases to be entertaining. The next season needs this to work. And next season is just as good. See more Kyle W @RT60929368 12/10/2024 Peter Capaldi is brilliant and I like him more than I thought I would. Glad that Clara is still here.

With a shifting dynamic between Doctor and companion at the heart of the season and a well focused central mystery, Moffat has reinvented the show in impressive yet subtle ways. See more Dom T @RT63119453 05/12/2024 I survived an episode and a half of the series. Mind-numbingly dull. Somehow, the whole gist of the season is Clara getting dementia and questioning whether the new Doctor is evil or not. I kind of get what they were going with Capaldi in his first season but switching that 180 by trying to bring back the Matt Smith personality onto Twelve just completely destroyed any credit this doctor had (almost like a boomer grandpa trying to be hip and cool). If this is what you get with Twelve and Clara, after them it's all downhill from here, except twelve's final episode alongside the 1st doctor. There was a time where when Capaldi was first announced as the twelve doctor (when I was up to date with the series way back), I associated Capaldi with Malcolm Tucker, the swearing office Scot. Capaldi should have honestly brought that character onto his Doctor persona. I'm pretty sure that was what Capaldi tried going for but Moffat last-minute reminded him that this was a kid's show and had to come up with something toned down. See more Read all reviews
