I try my best ;) And that's all too true, it's the scripts that'll make or break things as always.
Anyway, in the interest of keeping things interesting, how about we change the subject and talk about what other changes we want? I'm hoping for a male companion, a new TARDIS, no Daleks, no Cybermen, no Master, no Time Lords, no UNIT, a new take on the theme music/credits, the Weeping Angels coming back properly, more episodes set on earth and more exciting guest stars. In terms of the format I think series 10 did it well, no strict rigid story arc but enough continuity to give the sense that this is one long story instead of just random adventures every week.
Dammit, I'm nearly there on the diagonal running from the bottom left to top right, except for one. So here it is, so I can win this crummy bingo:
I'm a woman, and I hate this decision.
- A new theme arrangement and title sequence (that's a given, really)
- The Sea Devils, in an aquatic spy thriller. Sort of like an underwater version of The Moonbase, replacing The Cybermen with The Sea Devils, incorporated with elemets of a spy thriller (as so many classic era episodes took elements from films, books, other tv shows etc..)
- New TARDIS interior
- No politcal/social jibes
- No Daleks
- Cybermen, but only if they are in the style of 'The Invasion' Cybermen (the best ones imo)
- The Meddling Monk
- The Yeti
- No Master/Missy
What I would like to see : the return of the Rani. The Axons would be fine too. And yes, the Sea devils. Oh, and a resolution to the two big cliffhangers from Class. I hate it when a series ends on a cliffhanger, with no resolution in sight (Bugs, anyone ?)
Batwoman!
Spiderwoman!
Wonderman!
Poision Ivan!!!! Lol!
Dr who adventures, ( which it used to ) ....... the conspiracy is spreading !

Oh, and I would like the Doctor to meet Roald Dahl. It's past time that the two most famous citizens of Cardiff cross paths.
I like the political stuff as long as it has a point. I thought the stuff in Oxygen, a bunch of miners literally fighting the suits, was very clever. I enjoyed Thin Ice for similar reasons. Well done social/political commentary is great imo. Inserting "haha isn't Donald Trump stupid" jibes at random, like they did a couple of times this series, just comes across as pandering. Now if they wanted to do a storyline with a Trump esque figure that took the piss, that'd be cool.
It will be a male companion to complete the task of showing that women can be in charge of men. I'm not being ironic or bitter. That is where they are going with this.
That is really what I mean. And i'm not even a Trump supporter (i'm not even American), frankly, I wouldn't have voted for Clinton either, but that is for another thread. Trump jokes are the lowest hanging fruit of comedy.
Don't know how I feel about
Other than that looks good. Series 10 was brilliant so hopefully they'll keep it up for this last episode. I do think him already being dying takes the edge off a bit though. It feels like we've already seen his final battle and that this is more of an epilougue. Looks like fun though so can't really complain. And with it being Moffat's last episode as well as Capaldi's it's pretty much unmissable imo.

Although what you said wouldn't surprise me given the direction the show has been taking. There has already been a multi-species alien lesbian couple.
Still, always watched the show, so I guess I can plough on regardless :)
It isn't so much what is being said that it the problem, but the double standard. So when the new Doctor flies the TARDIS through a vortex, and they are rocked by "tumultuous buffeting", does that mean that someone will comment on female drivers? I would be very surprised if that comment is made.
I don't wish anything like ill health on Whittaker (as some people actually have), or for the show to fail (also what some have), but that attitude it very offputting.
Deborah Watling got the nickname "Leather Lungs" because of her ear-splitting scream, which cleverly was actually used as a plot device to defeat the alien menace in Fury From The Deep.
Patrick Troughton is my favourite Doctor, so I had a bit of a soft spot for Victoria (as well as Jamie and Zoe).
RIP Deborah.
I see what you mean,although I have to be honest,none of the comments registered with me.
Doctor Who boss Steven Moffat FINALLY reveals the Time Lord's name .
Departing Doctor Who boss Steven Moffat has finally answered one of the show's most nagging unanswered questions.
Fans have long debated what the Time Lord's name actually is.
During an appearance at Comic-Con in San Diego on Sunday, the outgoing writer and executive producer finally laid to rest the fiery debate.
Moffat insisted his name is Doctor Who and not the Doctor, as many believe.
"There isn't any doubt about it, I'm sorry. It was established in The War Machines (episode) that his name is Doctor Who," he told thousands of fans.
He provided a slew of evidence to back up his point, including signing letters "Doctor W" and the third Doctor having a "Who" licence plate.
"He doesn't often call himself Doctor Who because it's a bloody stupid name," Moffat added.
But he handed an excuse to fans who want to go on insisting the contrary, joking this could be "equally true" because "what would Doctor Who continuity be without blatant and unresolvable contradiction".
Moffat also had his say on the 'imaginary backlash' against the new female Doctor.
The BBC sci-fi show has faced some criticism for casting Jodie Whittaker as the thirteenth incarnation of the Doctor.
But Moffat has claimed that the negative response has been blown out of proportion and that only a "few tiny made people" are kicking up a storm.
He was interviewed alongside Peter Capaldi, who will be giving up the role this Christmas, and Sherlock star Mark Gatiss at Comic-Con.
Speaking to Empire, Moffat said: "One thing to say about the reaction. It's kind of as if Doctor Who fans are being slightly vilified at the moment.
"Loads of journalists are writing about a completely imaginary backlash against the Doctor. It hasn't happened.
"It was something like 80% of social media was thrilled. Doctor Who fans here are absolutely thrilled about Jodie being the Doctor.
There has been nothing - only a few tiny made people somewhere. The amount of journalism being devoted to saying there's been some huge reaction - there hasn't been.
"In fact most of the fans aren't even reacting to the fact it's a female Doctor, they are saying Jodie Whittaker is a brilliant actor what a good piece of casting."
Moffat will be steeping down as showrunner to make way for Chris Chibnall after seven years at the helm.
Peter Capaldi, the twelfth Doctor, has already spoken to Whittaker who will replace him during the Christmas special this year.
On his departure, he said: "I find it quite sad but I’m very excited about Jodie Whittaker and Chris Chibnall and all the great things they’re going to do with the programme.
"I’m a fan of Doctor Who and I’m really excited about what they’re going to do with the future of the show. Obviously it’s sad not being the Doctor anymore but there’s a whole new chapter beginning and I’m excited about that."
Doctor Who has faced an immediate backlash after the thirteenth star to take the main role was unveiled to be female.
In a striking example of modern day attitudes towards equal opportunities, a large response from Who fans was one of outrage.
Loyal fans of the long running BBC children’s Sci-Fi series took to Twitter to blast the decision to cast actress Jodie Whittaker as the titular Doctor.
"Time LORD. I repeat the Doctor is a time LORD. Not a time LADY,” raged one incensed fan on the social media site.
"You've ruined it now,” blasted another.
While another fan tweeted at the BBC: "Are you f**king kidding me you've ruined doctor who for me and my father in law. You might as well just cancelled the show.”
Indeed, Twitter became a melting pot of angry messages from viewers who couldn't accept that the character they love - a shape shifting, thousands of years old, two hearted humanoid - could possible be played by a woman.
Viewers vowed to switch off, with one tweeting: "I'm not watching anymore."
Another asked: "No more dr who for me and my son what have you done."
While a female fan tweeted: "Raging, ruined an amazing programme with a female doctor!"
A somewhat lively debate emerged among the angered comments, with many praising the BBC for dragging one of their most iconic characters into 2017.
One fan slammed those who showed anger over the casting, tweeting: "For each sexist bigot threatening to not watch, there'll be a young girl with a new hero they didn't have before #GoodRiddance #Doctor13”.
And another taking aim over the casting furore wrote: "To misogynists moaning about #Doctor13: You're not the target audience. It's aimed at children w/ grown-up minds, not the other way around.”
Jodie will replace Peter Capaldi as the Doctor following the Christmas special episode expected to air in December.
She will then lead the cast of the long running adventure series when it returns for the eleventh series of it’s current run in 2018.
Adventures in the Big blue box !
Yes, the Doctor has always been teased by his companions for his inability to read emotions or say the wrong thing (noticeable in the Capaldi era). It will be interesting if they scrap that altogether now to continue the appeasement of the liberal leftie lesbians who have demanded their female Doctor. He/she must continue to be a boffin, an alien struggling to understand the human mind, but somehow I feel the writers will create an all-embracing brilliant Doctor with no noticeable flaws.
Alter it for Bond, and that is part of my armoury for when I am debating with someone who is desperately trying to force a female Bond on the world. I employ a number of tactics, one of which thanking them for demanding more lesbian action in the films (either they will be a feminist or one of those SJW's, they won't like that one bit).
You are assuming the liberal leftie lesbians (or to put it another way, Tumblr Feminists) are thinking that far ahead. They just wanted a female Doctor. "What was that, what kind of Doctor do we want the female Doctor to be? Female, of course."
What a stunning take on Hartnells DR!!!! Hats off to you sir!
Oh man! With the way things are going ? It would not surprise me! Lol!
