    Hiya,

    Anyone else finding the new season of Dr Who disappointing?


    It's been disappointing since they moved away from David Tennant and Matt Smith.


    Capaldi will always be my favorite. He had some dogs like Knock Knock and Sleep No More, but even with those, his portrayal was absolutely engaging.

    I liked the older, cynical doctor - wondered what he'd done and seen
    between he and Matt Smith. Wasn't he something like 900 years older?

    Hated the Sonic Shades.

    Loved The Husbands of River Song. The look on River's face when he
    whispers "hello, sweetie", and the culmination of their relationship
    (again) was wonderful.

    I missed the Doctor, Amy and Rory. Got to like their dynamic.

    Doctor #11 had lived over 900 years. He mentions that he's 900 years at one point, but that was before he spent over 300 years on Trenzilor. I think by the time 11 regenerated, he was pushing 2000 years.

    Hated the Sonic Shades.

    I wasn't a big fan of the sonic being shades, like I'm not a big fan of the sonic now being something that looks like s silver tv remote. But I can say that Capaldi and his shades prompted me to by my own classic Ray Ban's like his. I still have them and wear them today. Had them for years now.

    River Song was alway a great addition to the story. I love HoRS.

    I missed the Doctor, Amy and Rory. Got to like their dynamic.

    I loved how Rory was always Amy's first in her life and The Doctor was second.

    important, and one day your life may depend upon it. I am definitely a Mad
    Man with a Blue Box."
