What's everyone most excited for about the new specials and Series 14?
Personally, I'm most excited to meet Fifteen. Every promo pic of him makes him look cooler than the one before. (If absolutely nothing else, he has fantastic fashion sense-- guess the reason all the other Doctors were so fashion-oblivious was because he was hogging it all for himself, lol.)
I'm excited to be getting back on the Who bandwagon! I fell off ages ago after Matt Smiths first season. But just a few months ago, my wife and I decided to properly go through and catch up in time for Tennants return.
We just finished season 6 (Smith's 2nd season) and man I was really missing out on some great Who! Excited to wrap up Smith as I'm incredibly curious about Capaldi. Glad to be back into the Whoniverse
There are a couple of Capaldi episodes that are not well-written. Don't let that deter you - it's all worth watching - just the occasional disappointment along the way.
I think Moffat's era is sort of bowl-shaped in quality. Seasons 5 and 10 are amazing, 6 and 9 are great, and 7 and 8 are a bit uneven. If season 8 was excluded from Capaldi's run he's easily be the best Doctor ever.
