Kill the Moon - Really great until the egg reveal?

I'm with Peter Harness - would't change it. Is it dumb? Yep - and in an era that was so austere and dark at the opening..the sheer glee of Capaldi's announcing what the Moon is? Is amazing. AND though it's 99.9999999999999% not an egg, there is still no scientific concensus on what the moon IS. That it used to be part of the same body of mass as Earth is the most popular current theory.

Too silly for Who? Tell me again how many origins of the fake continent of Atlantis we've had?

One Atlantis history, Azazeal was lying and everything else lined up. 

I love Kill the Moon, egg and all. People take it too seriously - Who has always had its silly moments and things that definitely aren’t based in science so not sure why people draw the line at the moon egg.

Sorry you're not a fan of series 8. I loved Capaldi from the start, the journey the 12th Doctor went was on was brilliant, from Grumpy self doubt and deep reflection on his mistakes to his wonderful speech about kindness and making a stand in The Doctor Falls.

Deep Breath 9/10
Into the Dalek 8/10
Robot of Sherwood 7/10
Listen 9/10
Time Heist 8/10
The Caretaker 4/10
Kill the Moon 8/10
Mummy on the Orient Express 10/10
Flatline 10/10
In the Forest of the Night 6/10
Dark Water 10/10
Death in Heaven 8/10

And that scene, now post-Brexit, post-Trump is a perfect illustration of why populism is so dangerous.

Bruh the show isn’t even consistent with the moral messaging and has done pretty messed up stuff especially in the EU and wilderness years

Just shows how fan opinion can differ, I love the Capaldi era, it's not perfect when it comes to series arcs but there's so many absolute gems for me.

I'd definitely rank the Capaldi seasons above Series 1, 7, 11, 12 and 13. All of which are good.

Season 9 had;

The Magician's Apprentice/The Witch's Familiar 10/10 (Anyone for dodgems?)

Under the Lake/Before the Flood 9/10 (the cards for appropriate responses, just brilliant)

The Zygon Invasion/Inversion 9/10 (that speech gives me goosebumps everytime)

Heaven Sent 10/10 (what a tour de force)

Season 10

The Pilot, Smile, Thin Ice, Pyramid at the End of the World, Empress of Mars all solid episodes. 8/10

Extremis, Oxygen, World Enough and Time and The Doctor Falls are just awesome. 10/10

As your not keen on the Capaldi era, what seasons are your favourite? Any personal highlights?

I love almost all Doctor Who series, with the odd seasons I find below par, season 24 for example. It's really interesting how fans have different preferences.

Series 8 is probably mine too, I love all three Capaldi series but 8 has such a great tonal shift after series 7b.

I love the Matt Smith era but series 7b, although good, has a fair few average episodes with only Name of the Doctor feeling outstanding. Day of the Doctor was brilliant but Time of the Doctor felt like it needed more time explore all the lingering plot threads.

Series 8 brings us a new type of Doctor, darker, grumpier and more unpredictable.

12 is a Doctor that will save/stand up for you but doesn't suffer fools gladly and has no qualms about telling people how foolish they are. I love his pragmatism when dealing with the doomed, of course he cares but he's totally focused on saving who he can.

I love Dark Water, especially lines like "He believed the phrase was being spoken by the recently deceased (which leads to a great moment from the Doctor.) “Why? Was he an idiot?”

Also the moment earlier with the sleep patches "
The Doctor: You betrayed me. You betrayed my trust, you betrayed our friendship, you betrayed everything I ever stood for. You let me down!
Clara: Then why are you helping me?
The Doctor: Why? Do you think I care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference?

Sorry another long winded post, but I love the 12th Doctor so much, for me the best Doctor of the revived era. We got the fresh magic with Tennant and some wonderful story arcs but my personal favourite 12 just pips 10.
