![]() Smith's final episode was too much, compacted into too short a time. Tennant's final episode was too little, dragged out over too long a time. Being kind.Īnd Whitaker? What can I do beyond echo her own first words? Waiting for them after the regeneration was genuinely electric, and with a smile and an “Oh brilliant!” she put a massive grin on my face. I will miss his wit and dialogue, but mainly I will miss his Doctor someone whizzing round doing their best for the universe. Be kind,” are perfect last words for not just Capaldi, but for Moffat’s take on the Doctor as a whole. You can really feel the weight of his life in that moment.Īs for Moffat.whatever hasn’t run smoothly during his tenure, and whatever the flaws in his writing are/have been, this was one last love letter to Doctor Who from someone who absolutely gets it. He loves them both, he’s sad to be leaving them, and at peace all at the same time. And he totally crushed the speech (obviously), but my favourite bit from him was just hugging Nardole and Bill. This was Capaldi’s show, and I like that there was very little grandstanding beyond the final speech we just get to spend another hour enjoying his Doctor. It’s that little bit of humanity that cuts through all the conflict, if only briefly. The Christmas Truce was a nice inclusion too that two lives are saved on a battlefield because people just decided not to fight for a day is SO Doctor Who (and actually, I’d even say that’s so Moffat). It worked nicely as a coda to both the Capaldi and Moffat eras of Doctor Who.ĭoctor the First was fairly well used while I agree that at times he skirted close to caricature, there were moments of depth there as he realises what kind of man he’s going to be. That was lovely - light on the plot but with plenty of time to just ENJOY a last adventure with Twelve. I'll miss Capaldi dearly but Jodie already looks so great. It was very different to other New Who regenerations, a very low key and warm feeling episode, but all the better for it imo. Jodie's bit was great too, she looks amazing and I'm so glad she's kept her Yorkshire accent.Īll in all its a strong 8 for me, and easily the best regeneration episode since Eccleston's, which is still the best of New Who. The final speech was great too, sums up Capaldi's Doctor a lot as well as his love for monologuing about what his values are. The actual regeneration was good too, I like that 12 has his memories of Clara back before he dies, it felt like an earned reward for him, he seemed so happy. I'm looking forward to watching this as a three parter, seeing the whole of Capaldi's death in full. The 60s era values from The First Doctor was also a bit much at times, I get that they were showing how far the show has come since then (especially with Jodie) but we didn't need as many as there were. ![]() The First Doctors inclusion was one of the weaker aspects imo, but it was great to see Capaldi's Doctor interact with a version of himself so far removed from where he is now. Like the epilogue to the adventure that was World Enough/Doctor Falls all focused on character and sentiment.
