Honestly that episode was a low-key trainwreck but that may be because my family spoke over the telly about how **** everyone else's Christmas dinners looked like so I had no idea what was going on but the last 15 minutes

I expected a proper trip through memory lane knowing Moffat.

The last 10 minutes was fine, the rest was boring af.

Things I liked about this episode:
  • Bill appears and owns her gender and sexuality, ICON
  • rusty reappearing
  • I swear I heard Doomsday among many other past DW songs. Idk why but I had shivers hearing Doomsday
  • It was really obvious the Captain would be related to the Brigadier but it was so lovely to hear "Lethbridge Stewart"
  • the way the regeneration scene was filmed. it just felt... beautiful
  • Claras back!! all the doctors since 9 have seen all of their long-term (tv show at least) travelling companions before their death (11 didn't see Rory but who Did?) so it was nice that tradition continued
  • She was on screen for 30 whole seconds but I already love Jodie
  • "Oh brilliant!"

I quite liked it, other than the fact that there was literally no plot

THANK ****ING CHRIST MOFFAT HAS GONE!!!! DON'T COME BLOODY BACK!!!

Peter Capaldi, he's been wonderful throughout despite being let down by some dud scripts.

Jodie is already a legend.

What I don't understand about this why were they so insistent on the the first doctor being sexist? The doctor is meant to be an alien who can time travel why, WHY would he be so stuck in this 1960s mentality. Also I've watched the classic series and of the few William Hartnell serials that survived I don't think I at all remember him asking any of his companions to do the dusting lol.

Props to Chibnall though. The regeneration "reveal" was quite good in that it didn't tread old ground.

Eccleston/Tennant/Smith/Capaldi all had pretty similar ones with mentioning random body parts. This just got straight into it.

I wonder if episode 1 of series 11 concerns searching for the Tardis which gets lost?

The Tardis rejected Matt Smith too and hurtled to earth hoping to kill him but we were still stuck with it for 4 years.

No more episodes with people standing around and discussing the mechanics of a plot the audience hasn't even been provided with.

The episode was a shambles right until the regeneration and Capaldi's speech If only he'd gone out in The Doctor Falls instead. Can't wait for Jodie and the new writer(s). I struggle to dislike Moffat- he's a very mixed bag but there have been more high points than low points for me.

Why would Moffat choose this has his last episode lol. He is a capable sometimes brilliant writer why would he leave the doctor who audience with this lmaoo.

Also gonna miss Peter not sure if he was my fave doctor but with Tennant and Matt Smith I felt that it was their time to go and was excited to see how the replacement fairs but I feel like peter had more to offer. Looking forward to see what they do with Jodie though.

Yeah, I do think Capaldi started to hit his stride more in series 10 but I think a lot of that is to do with Bill.

For 2 series, he was basically lumbered with Matt Smith's leftovers.

The university professor angle really suited him.

8 and 9 were all about Clara, the Doctor was the co-star.

He came into his own in 10. I think had Moffat made a series in 2015, with 2016's being series 11, I think we'd better understand Capaldi's Doctor a lot more. It would also been great to have Bill for two full series.
