TIL I've been telling myself I'll eventually catch up on all the Dr. who episodes for ten goddamn years

Not to sound like a curmudgeon, but you're not missing much.

No the cipaldi episodes are really good imo, past that? Meh

I grew up watching it with my mother but we kind of fell off because Capaldi didn't seem as good as Matt Smith, then again, replacing Matt Smith was always going to be difficult.

I just felt like the show lost its way a little. Like it doesn’t seem to understand the doctor anymore.

I think Capaldi is a fantastic actor and I love the idea of returning to an older doctor, but I recall an early episode when he duels a swordfighter with a spoon and it made me think of that old Reddit copypasta from the weird girl.

Then the sonic sunglasses?

I just.

I don’t know. It just wasn’t for me.

I'm surprised you've made it this long without hearing about the sonic sunglasses.

Spoilers in that link, of course.
