I was literally about to comment this😂

Damn straight! I suspect his whole arc will be reassessed over time. 'Thin Ice' is incredible, Peter has some of the best speeches and a brilliant right hook when needed. I also love lots about 'In The Forest of the Night', too. Sure, there's flaws, but I love Clara walking him back to the tardis, ready to die against an insurmountable problem. No enemy, just an incomplete understanding of the situation... She's prepared to stay and die, and surrender the Doctor, to continue saving the rest of the universe...

Bless your heart. I always have nothing but respect for people who say that. Mine is Tom Baker, but I'm 53, so I'm sure you'll understand. Just imagine, I was 9 when I watched Seeds of Doom lol.

Yesss! As someone my age, Peter Capaldi was my doctor growing up and he’s so criminally underrated, especially by my age group who love the attractive younger doctors. But I’ll always love 12 the most

I'm also 52, and Peter Capaldi is my favorite. (ALthough Seeds of Doom is one of the best Who stories EVER. 😊)

That's not true at all. The opposite is. People loved Capaldis doctor

NO IT IS NOT IT IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC AND EVERYONE IN HISTORY KNOWS THAT IN THE WHOLE WORLD

The boneless are one of the few monsters that genuinely give me nightmares along with the weeping angels the dolls in the dollhouse (an episode I was too scared to finish) and the vashtan derada (shadows in the library)

Yes but not underrated

@@cyberemperor1435 Greatest Show in the Galaxy is heavily underrated, no doubt

@@maniaccop3403 I've seen that about four times. Never really get a handle on it, but I love it anyway!

@@maniaccop3403 It is given good credit, honestly. If u look at some reviews it is given quite a good score

@@cyberemperor1435 Idk man, most times I see it as either overlooked or poorly scored

It's highly rated on most websites maybe that's why its not considered underrated

It is amazing BUT what do u mean underrated. It gets soooooooooooooo much credit and is highly rated, like it deserves but still not underrated

For the beginning alone. "It was like the TARDIS didn't want to come here." "Well if you think there's gonna trouble, we can go back in and leave." They die laughing.

This was the first Modern Who story I ever saw

The place really crap probably because they were written by chibnall

I think you're mistaking overlooked and underrated

I agree Neil

It is a very good episode, but it always bothered me they never addressed the floof or whatever was outside Orson's capsule.

@@marshmanno1342 big Finish recently revealed that the knocking on the door was actually just Jack Harkness and River Song playing a joke

@@marshmanno1342 literally the point of the episode

you would think that chibs and his writing coho0rts would be able to put together at least one good story and that hasn't happened yet and probably never will because they can't. chibs will go down in the history of the show for two reasons. one being he ruined the show and two he will be the only show runner to never have written on good story or have one written in his era. a total failure.

@@joeespin4377 what the fuck are you talking about? Your comment has no relevance whatsoever to my comment. Get a life.

@@frazzlesreviews5379 i am sorry i posted that on the wrong post. again i m sorry for doing that.

As someone from across the pond...I’m guessing Paisley is in Scotland? I know he’s naturally Scottish but not familiar with the dialects.

@@waz207 Paisley is in Scotland yeah

The God Complex is definitely one of my favorite stand-alone episodes for re-watching! It's a solid episode both in the context of the season, or just to watch whenever. For me, there is also something "cozy" about it. I can always curl up and watch it and just block out the world and be happy while it's on.

Definitely love the sontaran two parter it’s probably my most watched episodes

The God Complex is certainly a highlight of Smith's tenure and it's so sad to see it overlooked. So many great moments but honestly I love the whole Big Day for a fan of Walls bit lol

@@alternatethirteenth5594 "Big day for a fan of walls" always gets me laughing! Its low key but the delivery is spot on.

@@deadk133 His face and the expression just adds to the hilarity of it.

I would never try to change something so obviously true

I probably should rewatch 'Last Christmas', but...

always thought that was highly rated as it was great

@@nathanrich4372 maybe yeah I've seen it mentioned in a couple places but think it gets lost in the middle sometimes. Especially since the 3rd series was so good

@NovaWolf Gaming tbh I don't really get why Moffat gets bashed on so much. Granted yeah each to there own but he's done some great stories and he also created the weeping angels that have been awesome at times. Yeah his writing can be too convoluted even for doctor who. Like I say he's also done some awesome stories though. Hey like I say each to there own though. And imo a lot of chibnalls writings just been terrible. Season 11 imo was just bloody dire. Season 12 wasn't bad however had its fair share of bad episodes. See what season 13 brings. Unfortunately really don't expect much though.

@NovaWolf Gaming Moffat himself barely misses, his worst penned episode being the meh Bells of St John. The worst episode of his era, Kill the Moon, is again a rare misfire. He had higher highs as well as keeping the average quality up, in comparison to some real stinkers from RTD and obviously Chibnall’s era which fails in every narrative way from Character to Plot to even the bloody set design.

@NovaWolf Gaming 42, the Woman Who Fell to Earth, the Power of Three, the Battle of that f*cking stupid planet name, Spyfall (where he made the Doctor a racist), The Timeless Children. You get the point. Chibnall is not only bad he’s incompetent.

@NovaWolf Gaming the only ones I think I’m confident in disputing here are Spyfall, where the Doctor reveals the Master to the Nazis as a brown man and says the line “now they’ll see you for what you really are.” And the Master is sent to a concentration camp. Maybe not deliberately racist but clumsy and ignorant and deeply problematic anyway. The Timeless Child is a 30 minute slideshow exposition, which from an actual writing standpoint is boring and lazy, and from a character standpoint it undermines the fundamental character of the Doctor being someone who CHOSE to be good, is important and good because they choose to be not because of destiny, and undermines the relationship between the Doctor and the Master being people who had the same opportunities but one CHOOSES to right wrongs, and one CHOOSES to be evil. Now it’s revealed that the Doctor is actually super important and isn’t just a regular time Lord is the progenitor of all Time Lord society. The Doctor is exceptional to humans but they’re supposed to be a f*ck up of a time Lord because they make the fundamental choice to interfere, to save the universe and fight evil. The Doctor isn’t special, they’re just good, and anyone can be good. Timeless Child is many things, poorly written, poorly acted, a hodgepodge of many ideas most of them terrible, but it’s biggest crime is it’s just so lazy. It makes the Doctor far less interesting while pretending it does the opposite. Also, don’t get me started on those ridiculous Time Lord Cybermen, an idea lazily copy and pasted from Magician’s Apprentice which doesn’t work here on any level. The Cybermen are not evil robots (which admittedly has been a problem long before Chibnall). One thing I will say is Haunting of Villa Diodati is actually really good, and the only time I believed Jodie was the Doctor. Then it’s all ruined. Also Jo Martin was more the Doctor in 5 minutes than Whittaker has been in nearly 5 years.

@NovaWolf Gaming she does send the Master to a Nazi concentration camp, that literally happens. If I’m not meant to think about it, then it’s bad writing, and not once has 13 been called out for being just a bad person. What does it change? It changes the message of the character, you are not defined by your choices but your lineage, and if it truly doesn’t change anything then why say it? What’re you doing by undermining the 60 year arc of a character to make no fundamental difference? There’s more Doctors now, sure, and she worked for the space police, and she’s Time Lord Jesus, but….that’s supposed to change nothing. The Doctor is an ordinary person defined by their choices. The only thing I can hope is, much like the “half human” crap from the TV movie this is either ignored or retconned. The difference between Magician’s Apprentice and this is there’s a reason for Davros to want to steal the power of regeneration. Davros and the Daleks have always been about conquest, power, being the only living thing. Cybermen are not, and should not be conquerors. You will become like us. As for the Hybrid shit, the Doctor has always been inconsistent about why they left Gallifrey, Moffat provided a few possible reasons but was never definitive. Like the Joker, the Doctor’s past should be a mystery, the only thing that should matter is that they are the Doctor. The timeless child says you are special because you were born to be, and that’s what matters. You have made those choices because of destiny, not because of your character, and the Master is not a friend who had the same opportunity as you, but someone who, unlike you, could never achieve greatness and importance.

I was really looking forward to that one and I was not let down.

I so agree. Doctor Mysterio is a comfort episode for me which gets an absurd amount of dislike, Asylum I have a soft spot for as it's the first story I watched live, and Akhaten is obviously very hated but I genuinely rlly like. I like most of 7b tho, but Akhaten has THAT speech. That beautiful, emotional, character study of a speech for the Doctor which I will always like. Possibly my favourite scene in the whole show.

That's because all of the classics are very highly rated 😊

Modern who is doctor who.

@@madanotap6492 modern who is modern who, classic who is classic who, classic and modern who is doctor who

@@k.stewart007 no, classic who has plenty of stories considered duds, twin dilemma for example is often rated as one of the worst doctor who stories ever. But it also has it’s underrated stories: Attack of the Cybermen, ghost light, warrior’s gate and revelation of the Daleks are all stories that I feel like deserve some more attention and appreciation

@@max12421 uuumm... no actually. I don’t know if you’ve noticed this but the title of the tv show is doctor who regardless of what era you’re in.

No, I still think van gough is the best historical figure to be on Doctor who. Nothing will ever top that story for me. I cry every time 💀

It’s nice to see people talking about how similar they are to the racnoss and people in the comments not just insulting whitticars I will die on the hill that she is a great doctor that has suffered from bad writing

@@blueeyestuber8673 Yea it is more a writing issue. And like, I try to keep all my DW convos civilised because no-one likes an NMD

@@mr.scarlo2234 Like Doctor Who married Agatha Christie and had Gosford Park for TV (which would actually make it a space-aged Upton Abbey) With all these programmes spoofing others, the remaining living complete cast of Doctor Who (going back to the 60s if any are still alive, to present) and actually doing an Edwardian Era Mystery spoof. It would be good if not a bit "Downton Abbey Goes Wrong"

It was technically 4 Doctors. Tom Baker #4 showed up near the end, gave the Doctor a bit more hope about his actions with The Moment, that Gallifrey did survive, but was lost. Frankly because of that ending part, I think it would be pretty cool if they managed to bring Tom back as the 14th Doctor.

Unfortunately they rarely touch upon classic as far as I've seen. Whatculture are terrible for going after whats super popular and alas, classic who doesn't get the numbers. Shame really.

@@simoncotterill9660 Modern Who isn't even that great (I'm not talking about solely the Chibnal era either). I'm pretty sure Classic Who would be seen as better if people gave it a chance.

Agreed -- I'm a sucker for Gridlock as well.

I’ve said it before I’ll say it agin... YOU ARE 100% Correct

I really don’t like how soft and futuristic the cybermen were made though. Matt Smith cybermen felt like an iron man clone

Seriously tho, I ,wan it’s fine to like it but the cyber men seem way to overpowered to the point of taking all the fear out of it, anti and arti are annoying as hell, Ed majority of the other characters are annoying to and because it sort of went to the plot, as Angi pointed out “its obvious that porridge is the emperor” (not in those exact words) but hey if u like it u like it

YES, YES, AND YES!

it was actually all Gatiss’s idea, Moffat wasn’t too keen on their return but Gatiss pushed through the decision

SPAAAAAAACCCEEEE

Yesss i love The Lodger and Closing Time
