I am still trying to understand that Time Heist episode.
Capaldi's gradually growing on me, with my favourite episode to date being Into The Dalek.

I finally watched the premier, as I have some friends I watch with and they have to find sitters. I thought it was pretty good, and I like Capaldi (although not as much as Smith).

Tonight's episode, The Caretaker, was actually enjoyable...nothing complicated to mess with my brain.

Just finished watching season 12 over the last few days and thought overall it was pretty good. Robot the first full episode to feature Tom Baker is easily the weakest and your probably better off just skipping it. The highlights of this serial are the wardrobe montage, the first jelly babies reference and the giant robot which looks kind of cool despite some poor special effects.
Overall The Ark in Space is a really solid story despite Harry making some sexist remarks and the bug-eyed aliens looking absolutely silly. The remastered version I watched replaces the models of the space station with CGI for some reason.
The shortest serial of the season The Sontaran Experiment and the season finale Revenge of the Cybermen feature the return of the Sontarans and the Cybermen respectively.
The best serial Genesis of the Daleks gives us the Dalek's origin story, introduces Davros and contains a very defining moment for The Doctor when he decides that he can't commit genocide against the Daleks. The last two episodes are particularly good and Michael Wisher performance as Davros throughout is superb. The ending is one of the best resolutions of the entire series.

This was one of the weaker episodes so far, I mean we already saw this plot before with the Starship UK. |

I really liked that both the Doctor and Clara had valid points at the end. The Doctor fully believing that he was showing them respect by leaving the decision to them and Clara believing that the Doctor was close enough to humanity that he had a part in this decision and abandoned them instead. I'm leaning towards the Doctor though.

The end seemed a little over wrought to me, and again we've seen that conversation before and in fact seen it done better.

I finally watched the premier, as I have some friends I watch with and they have to find sitters. So I found out these monsters have been watching it via Prime without me. I'm inconsolable, but I'll probably binge watch this weekend. |

I'm leaning towards the Doctor though. I can see why Clara would react the way she did to the difficult position she was placed in but I really hope this isn't a sign that they intend to start writing her as the same kind of irrational, emotional blackmailer Amy Pond became towards the end of her stint. Didn't care for Mr. Pink at first but I'm starting to like him better now. |
