Rebel Flesh & Almost People are brilliant imo. Loved them. Smith is my favourite Doctor, he’s such a complex character, he’s kind, loving, has a child like mind but can switch in to an angry, vengeful man in an instant. It’s like he’s scared of his own rage because if he lets himself slip, he has no clue of what he could truly be capable of. Absolutely brilliant.

Hmm. You say "I could have taken an entire series of Trenzalore" and I wonder if that is one of the main issues people have with the episode. It tries to cram an entire season's worth of story/concept into one 60 minute episode. I don't hate the episode, but I don't love it either and I suspect that's why - it had some cool ideas but ultimately felt superficial because none of it was really given enough time to resonate. I could probably take an entire season of just Smith talking to Handles... xD

Series 7 I just thought was pretty meh in my opinion, but mostly serviceable overall, personally I hated series 6 the most, despite having at least 2 of my favourite 11th doctor episodes (the doctors wife & the god complex) I hated most of the episodes, I Thought the series arc was overall badly executed (like all 11th doctor series arcs were) one of the episodes has the doctor befriend Henry Avery, one of the most infamous pirates in history, who was a MASS MURDERER and RAPIST (curse of the black spot, a good man goes to war) and the episode “let’s kill hitler” is in my opinion, THE WORST EPISODE in the shows history, muddling river songs backstory with such LAZY, INSUFFERABLE writing, showing little to no interest in exploring the historical setting of the episode, and FORCING a separate sub plot about INCOMPETENT time travelling justice... police???.... which honestly makes it feel like 2 episodes had been merged into one horrifically written mess!!!!

@@jasonpaulbaker1 Yeah, the overall consensus is that the season 6 arc was pretty poorly done, i mean, for starters it's overly complicated, or atleast it's trying to be, i think Moffat can be an INSANELY good writer, but he also tends to just make things up as he goes. As well as that, the ending makes no sense, it's literally just "The Doctor needs to die" *another person dies* "Good job" I mean, did the doctor really just outsmart time and space, and bypass a fixed point in time BY DRESSING UP?!

The Crimson Horror is my favorite Gatiss episode. My main issue with Victory isn't the redesign but was the ending where he just thought really heart warming humany thoughts and was no longer a bomb as if that made any kind of sense. I know there have been similar plot elements in other episodes but this and Hide are love conquers all just not working. I liked that the daleks got away. I think The Time of the Doctor is horribly underrated. The only thing I'd change would be not bothering to call the town Christmas but that's just a nitpick. I would have preferred it as a multi part story but it's still a great episode.

Best: 5. The Pandorica Opens - I'm counting two-part stories as two seperate episodes. This one is iconic, it's hard hitting, it's fun, and it's easily rewatchable. 4. Time Of Angels - The atmosphere of this epsiode is Phenomenal. It's spooky, it's exciting, it's liminal, it's everything. River Song is also at her best in this episode. At the same time, a lot happens in this epsiode without it feeling overbloated. Amazing epsiode all around. 3. Day Of The Doctor - What can I say that hasn't already been said? 2. The God Complex - This one is an underrated gem. It is exciting, spooky, and more. The characters are easy to connect with, and while you are watching you get a sense of mystery and excitement throughout. It's so underrated! 1. The Impossible Astronaut - This is possibly top 10 episodes in Doctor Who history, and I'm talking 1963 and up. This is amazing. The action is amazing, the romance is amazing, the mystery is amazing, and a beautiful showcase of my favorite Nu-Who Tardis team: River, 11, Amy, and Rory. Worst: 5. The Wedding Of River Song - This really feels like Moffat has a bunch of different ideas for a finale, you he just crammed them all into one. This is the most overflowed episode since the Keys of Marinus, and that's not an overstatement. 4. Let's Kill H*tler - A dumb concept with an even worse execution. They save Hitler's life, and then the writers forget that he was in this episode. Also, the idea of tiny humans controlling a life-sized human robot is so dumb. The stakes are also as low as they can possibly be, with floating octopus robots. They aslo ruined River, making her insanely annoying and unlikeable. 3. The Power Of Three - I guess Doctor Who is an underdeveloped sitcom now. This episode just feels boring, and this is coming from somebody with a pretty good attention span. The worst part about this episode is the end, where The Doctor just waves around his Sonic and the day is saved. This episode also feels way to tryhard, with ultimately Forgettable speeches. 2. Nightmare In Silver - This is the textbook example of what not to do in a Doctor Who episode. The rules are simple: Don't overstuff it, don't be to childish, don't be to dark, don't use unlikeable characters, and don't use stupid concepts. This one manages to break all of these rules, as it constantly goes back and Fourth on whether it should be a childish episode for little kids or a dark and depressing epsiode for older audiences. I might also sound like an NPC for this, but it should've been a two-parter. 1. Dinosaurs On A Spaceship - It's as stupid as it sounds. This episode feels like it was made for genuine toddlers. With comic relief villians that won't shut up, and historical figures being there for litterly no reason, this episode is absolutely horrid.

i'm not sure if it's in my top five, but a nightmare in silver i always felt was a rather fantastic episode. it has flaws, but it's one of the few episodes for me where the cybermen actually felt bone-chillingly threatening. i felt like it paid omage to the scifi trope of the 'the horror of the unstoppable, exponential growth of technology' brilliantly as it always reminded me of the scifi concept that i'm perhaps most scared of: grey goo. tiny robots that spread out among the stars with to produce more tiny robots. never slowing, never faltering, just consuming galaxy after galaxy and turning the available resources into more of itself. everything from cyber doctor (smith plays a great villain), to the cybers patching weaknesses on the fly, to the threat level being so high that the sacrifice of an entire planet for even one of them is justified. god it's just.. so good.

while I agree that his era was a mixed bag, ur also right about the fact that he nailed the 'old man who still acts like a child' bit. he was such a beautiful complex doctor, (some fans often try to limit him by labelling him as one thing and saying they don't like it, but he was very complex and possessed a lot of many aspects to his personality). also, he was kind and endearing, but wasn't PC, which I liked. but then, he could be angry, bitter, but he could change his persona at the drop of a hat. and I like that he tried to keep things light. He's one of my favorites. Smith played him to perfection. but, I admit that I like Rings of Ahkaten and Rebel Flesh/Almost People--a lot. I also really enjoy Crimson Horror. it's so beautifully weird and I thought the paternoster gang was amusing. I also like characters being witty sometimes. I know people believe that his female characters don't feel real, but b4 moffat took over, the first two years of new doctor who felt very soap opera-esque and there was such an overabundance of drama that got me down eventually. i love series 3, but the doctor caused drama himself. that may be a concept of 'real', but sometimes, I like to get away from reality. sometimes, moffat's characterization helped me get away and kind of live in a fantasy. still, great video!

I'm so relieved you loved Matt Smith as much as I did. I stopped watching when he first arrived because I thought he was a ridiculous choice as Doctor Who. Way too young - he just didn't look the part. How wrong could I be? An old man inside a young man's body, he carries it off perfectly - his chemistry with EVERYONE especially Amy (and River) is second to none. Those three seasons are a bizarre combination of Matt's eccentric talent with Moffat's erratic writing. Moffat's strength became his Achilles heel for sure. The Silence, and Clara (or Oswin Oswald) in Asylum were the highlights for me, but the writer's absolute failure was his inability to solve the incredible breathtaking mysteries he'd created and his failure to kill off characters once and for all. In the end I'd have to record every episode because each plot was so convoluted I had to rewatch a few times to try and work out what the hell was going on (didn't you get the feeling he was over it by season 7? Murdering weeping angels???). My children are watching these three seasons for the second time and I find I still have to help them understand the Amy and Clara time streams. I'm not even convincing myself when I explain it. Well done on this review - can't believe the western and the shark Xmas story are there and no mention of Tom Baker in Day which made me cry inconsolably for an hour. In hindsight, his successor may be the greatest Doctor of all.

I think Matt Smith is so forgettable because you can't remember how good his seasons were, and i think Jodie's facing the same issue. Season 6, 7 and 11 are just so forgettable because it's filled with so much "Meh" that everyone just forgets the good parts.

11 and Clara are the only episodes were I actually consider 11 as the Doctor. For me RoA showed the absolutely weird and bizarre aspect of SciFi that I like in Doctor Who. It didn't feel nerdy(like a TON of 11's episodes were nerdy). It felt otherworldly and eerie. 9 definitely has that feel too.

Aww I really loved the Akahten Speech. It's one of those speeches fans bring to older Doctors in conventions, and a speech recreated by fan impersonations.

I love the monologues. Smith can really punch them out too, but this one felt like a step too far. The episode was transparent, and once you recognise the pattern of 'the Doctor defeating the monster by shouting at it' trope, it's pretty unavoidable. And yeah, a bright crayon-yellow, stocky dalek is something even I (a rampant dalek defender fanboy) can't justify. Thanks for the comment, more power to you if you like them!

Odd choice. I would have put Day of the Doctor as one of the worst episodes. Top 5 Smith stories for me are: 1. Pandorica Opens/Big Bang 2. Good Man Goes To War 3. Wedding of River Song 4. First story of Series 6 (Sorry, I forgot the names) It's the one in America 1969, with the Silents 5. The Weeping Angel 2-parter in Series 5

I only learned recently that the 50th and Time of the Doctor aren't rated very highly by the general fanbase. Odd, though I was primarily a 2005 revival fan first. I'm also a massive fan of John Hurt and the Time War so this was just fantastic to watch in the cinema. My favourite Who experience. We have verrrrry different lists I notice, your 2 & 3 I can't stand for example. As I said in-vid, whenever the plot focuses on River there's an unsatisfying slug of convoluted ideas and non-answers to be had. I'm glad that went away for the most part with Capaldi's era.

The only episodes I dislike of 11s run was the entirety of Series 7 Part 2, besides Name of The Doctor which was great. Honestly, everything else, YES, including s6 finale was either brilliant, enjoyable filler or just perfect. The s6 finale, I thought it was brilliant in how it wrapped everything up but also opened new doors regarding new questions “Doctor... Who?”. My favourite about s6 is the plot development and build up. Similar with s5. s7 was good for the first half but ignore the second beside the finale and all’s good.

I would say the paradigm Daleks weren’t bad. They were a refreshing take on the Daleks taking away the bronze and old looking design for some newer colorful ones. Also I think it’s funny how some people forget that the Daleks were actually colored in the classic series and they immediately conclude that when New Who does it, it has to be a cheap marketing scheme. Also what a lot of people including DAVIS don’t want to mention is that the paradigm Daleks were brought back after this, specifically in the episode “Asylum of the Daleks.” But SCREW FACTS I just wanna complain, right?? Isn’t that how it goes? Lol. People just need to grow up sometimes. Liked the rest of the review!

My friend lost her parents I still think she is ok even though I don't know much about her parents.

Yeah i'm gonna stop you right there because Clara is my favourite companion and her backstory/family life is irrelevant to the character as shes older and different to the likes of Rose or Martha....and also the very least of her problems early on.

@@SamyulDavis I don't hate it, I just find it mostly an unsatisfying conclusion to Rory and Amy's journey as Companions. Rory has died more times than Captain Jack by the end of this episode and when he actually does die it's so sudden and quick that it comes across as unceremonious. Especially compared to his wife's send off moments later. I don't get why people complain about the angels returning all the time but yeah I don't like their use in this story. Why is the statue liberty an Angel? They turn into stone when you look at them not copper. Nitpicking I know but it bugs me. I like River in this story and her use in it. The letter scene at the end is admittedly brilliant. I think this is a structural sound story that has several elements that bug me specifically (primarily the use of Rory).
