They come across a facility called 3w who turn out to be a Cyberman conversion facility, and then the master is reintroduced as missy, who uses the Cybermen to make more Cybermen from graveyards, and then forces the doctor to accept the army of Cybermen as a gift.
HOW DID I NOT REALIZE SOONER!? 11 hugged so often... the man who regrets. He was hiding the upset expressions and pain, guilt, and regret on his face in every hug. When he becomes the 12th doctor he learns that he needs to stop doing that and face what happened in his life.
I love how Capaldi portrays the kind doctor. The most kind people are often the most dangerous and sometimes cold because of their knowledge and suffering in the universe. Capaldi did an awesome job portraying that.
A Doctor that starts off so lost. Then finds himself, and isn't thrilled about what he finds. But in the end, he sees himself as we do. And that is fine, because trying to be that man, that's the point. That's my Doctor.
This sums his character up so perfectly. The entire Twice Upon a Time episode is a Doctor Who masterclass (one of the best episodes of all time), but his final monologue before he regenerates drives your point home. It's him, telling his next incarnation what to be and what he'd learned along the way. I watch it as a dying father writing a letter to his daughter, telling her all his hopes and dreams for her knowing he'll never get to see her grow up. And then Jodie Whittaker appears. And we're an unholy mess of sobbing and hope.
That's what I love about Doctor Who in general. It's the story of mankind and human mythology and the way we can live to the fullest with morality and intrinsic values.

@NovaWolf Gaming Series 8 had some brilliant episodes compared to Series 11; take Mummy on the Orient Express for example. Plus Peter's acting was always good, even if the episode was meh. Also Peter's companions were played by actresses who were above average , unlike Jodie's. Jodie herself is a competant actress but I feel she's not a leading actress. That's why she doesn't really stand out amongst the companions. And as for gravitas, I'm afraid Peter's acting puts Jodie's to shame. Full stop.
It says a lot about the man as an actor when it's a twenty-six minute video, all the clips are brilliant and there are *still* scenes missing from the video.

Nineth Doctor was John Hurt's War Doctor. Why does everyone forget this. They had to retcon the regenerations due to Eccleston refusing to be in the 50th so the made Hurt's Doctor the new 9th and so on, each Doctor after got bumped up a number to Eccleston is now 10, Tennat was 11, Smith was 12 and Capaldi was 13.

Chiron of Pelion My friend and I are currently going through every series of Doctor Who on our new channel and I’d love to hear some feedback from people in the community like yourself: ua-cam.com/channels/7NmVpEzO-BFSfUsxgj6mnQ.html Thanks for the comment!
@@theeastendboy I disagree. Watching the Twelfth Doctor grow from a bit of an arse with momentary flashes of promise in series 8 to *the perfect* Doctor by the end of series 10 is beautiful. Clara isn't so bad that I'd recommend people miss out on the best character arc in DW history.
Danii H I think part of why Peter gets people emotional is because he is older he has seen everything he has the face to prove it. Matt( I love Matt💝) but he's just so young looking. Peter's face is like Stone and I believe him when he says he's 2000 years old. Matt--I'm 25 years older than Matt.
Just remember, he was a good man. Whenever you think of the twelfth doctor, in your mind remember him as a good man. Whenever the other doctors moved up in ego or sunk to the depths of doubt, just remember that the twelfth stayed there, he sat like a rock, and persevered. The twelfth doctor was a good man.
Some say that Tennant’s 10th Doctor is the best Doctor but for me it is always gonna be Capaldi. He has serious moments, funny moments, subtle moments and the best ending speech of all the Doctors. Don’t get me wrong, I loved Tennant during his run, hell I love all the Doctors but Capaldi is the defining Doctor for me.
I think tenant hit the sweet spot for when he was in the show Out of the actors who've been on the show since the reboot all of them could have done his role (with slight changes) tennet and by extention rt Davis were in the show during its return to reliance at least in the uk
I have never met ANYONE who says that 'David Tennant' is the best Dr .....never ! . . . . .. .but plenty agree that Tom Baker is best , followed by Jon Pertwee and also Peter Cushing was good in the movies . . . . . . .
Same with myself. I love all the doctors I've seen (Hartnell definitely starts more iffy, but he picks up more once Susan leaves, I feel), but Tennant is less my favorite Doctor and more like the baseline that sort of sets my mental image for what the Doctor should be like, and that necessarily invites comparisons that aren't always favorable, because nothing as much stands out of his incarnation, which I feel is just solid across the board.
I just completed my first rewatch of nuwho and yeah capaldi is my fav doctor, Tennant comes very close obv but capaldi just kills every scene I love it
Capaldi had the issue of poor writing during a good chunk of his run imo. Tennant was great as the Doctor but also had the benefit of being the Doctor during the golden age of the show. Whereas Capaldi gave an excellent performance despite everything, he was the Doctor when the show was on a unfortunate downturn.
He was genuinely amazing as The Doctor! Too many people see him as “too old” just like too many people saw Matt Smith as “too young”! Nobody will ever be happy with who plays The Doctor
and this is new who, for classic who, there is one, the great one, Tom Baker! Strong, athletic, relatively young ( the actor was in his 30/40 I think), those crazy eyes, iconic look. And acting ability.
@@galarstar052 My point still stands, as both criticisms exist. A lot of people would complain about Capaldi being a great actor who was let down by "bad writing", but there was still people who judged him for being old, same thing happens with Jodie. One thing doesn't take away the other.
Personally my favorite doctor will always be David tenant, but I do believe that peter Capaldi acted the shit out of the doctor and definitely deserved the role.
SamuraiMarmoset the problem with is that it is not a paradox. Paradox requires a breakdown of causality. In Bootstrap Paradox causality is not broken, it's just circular instead of linear.
5:02 - Viscerally, that felt like a kick in the gut. That line, that one line that I had almost forgotten, is one of the most powerful he's ever said, and he said it with such calmness... This guy was the Doctor, and he was _fantastic._
The 12th Doctor. The only Doctor that I miss the most, despite him not being my favourite. Peter is just such an amazing actor, he portrayed the Doctor so wonderfully, I miss him dearly.
Peter capaldi you will always be the best doctor in my book "No one else will ever have to think this way... no one will ever have to feel this pain... NO MORE"
Easily the best doctor in my opinion. So so brilliant, he is way too underrated for his skills and talent. I think Jenna even once said that he hardly had to do more than one take. He really is great
Charlie's Journey Tennant is worse. Most people like him because hes the first nuWho doctor who got more than 1 season and many people’s first doctor. The rtd era however was full of cliches, even tho it had some seriously good characterwork. Martha was annoying. When you hear that 4 was originally have a companion named penny who doctor has crush on, the era falls apart
Doctor Who is easily one of the best things Capaldi has ever acted in, and probably ever will be. His ultimate love, joy and passion towards the show shine through every moment that he lived as the Twelfth Doctor. And the less memorable act but still a great episode nonetheless in Pompeii, of course!
So, I googled the Bootstrap Paradox, and there were some accompanying pictures Google gave me. The second image was Peter Capaldi holding the plastic replica of Beethoven's head. Google is nice.
A bit gutted that you didnt include the moment where he sees his reflection, gets where he got his face from then announces what its for and screams to the heavens. But aside from that, great choices!
The moment at 5:02 is probably my favourite out of all of them (and I love them all). “Do you think I care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference?” 😭❤️ If only more people were like that!
@@MrPOKER725 Basically, if someone betrays you and you therefore don't want anything to do with that person anymore, that person didn't mean much to you in the first place. But if someone betrays you and you really care for them, you will look beyond their betrayal and forgive them. ;)
@@danielpearson7506 No it's not as that simple as that. The Doctor knows that Clara couldn't ask him to use his TARDIS to fix Danny Pink's death, because he would quite clearly say "no" because of what has happened previously (when Rose went back to see her Dad and tried to save him). He knew that she would try to do something that reckless to force his hand. He was betrayed that she simply didn't ask, but he cares for her and her happiness like all of his companions. I have friends like that in life, and those words resonated with me. Just because a friend has turned their back on me doesn't mean I will instantly turn my back on them in their time of need. I won't forgive them, or maybe I will but I won't forget. But when you are friends (sometimes the best of friends) you will always do whatever it takes to protect them. That is me to my friends. As I say, those words from the Doctor personified and resonated with me, they made situations like that make sense.
Sounds like Tom Baker when he says" I'm not a doctor. I am The Doctor". Peter is not an actor he is a great actor and a great Doctor. His regeneration speech is the best speech ever. Be good be kind don't eat pears and we might all get along!

@@fergusabrams1012 If there IS a 14 then I'd bet it'd be BILLIE PIPER ahah no jk I bet it'd be a previous actor like... ... ... ... ... uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I know what you mean. But at the very least we know they had 24 years together. We may not have gotten to see them, but deep down we know, they were happy
Your right he did things 12 told him not to like when he was shouting sir right after 12 told him not to and when 12 got rightfully angry and told him to get out he acted like he had done nothing at all. And even after all that 12 still tried to help him because losing him upset Clara.
Especially since all of Danny's points were wrong. He thought that the Doctor was the sort of man to send his soldiers into die. However, he's the one who tries to take a bullet, but his friends jump in front of him. At the timeline, he wanted to die, but Clara jumped in despite his direct wishes.
AshesToDust exactly he doesn’t know the first thing about the doctor yet assumes he must be a horrible person because he got over and although not fully slightly forgave himself for galifray since he now knows they aren’t all dead. But since Danny only had a few years of the death of one innocent on his mind he can’t believe that someone could get over what he believes to be the deaths of millions even after hundreds of years. He doesn’t understand that everything the doctor does is an apology for what happened.
Same, but I originally thought Matt Smith was the best doctor (Tenant is also absolutely amazing too, of course) but yeah, Capaldi is by far the best doctor there is
Say what you want about 'Lie of the Land' and the trailer bait fake-regeneration scene, but that scene between The Doctor and Bill is perfectly acted by both Capaldi and Mackie.
With how much Jodie and Chibnal have split the Who Community, Capaldi's final scene on the battlefield was the perfect end for the fans that stopped watching. Eccleston to David, David to matt. Matt to Capaldi. Those were all obvious continues, but Capaldi's seemed so Final. (don't reply with hate to Jodie, or hate to the people who don't like Jodie. This is just me saying his final send off, was so great as a final send off. The show could of ended there, and it would of been a good ending to the show.)
I DONT HATE JODIE. shes a decent actress. my hate is directed at chibnall and the people who allowed his crap stories to be produced and aired. for me, capaldi was the last doctor...
it's like moffat knew that Chibnall and the ultra feminazis where coming for the show and if he announced that he was going to stay then they'd simply meetoo him and lie about hi and claim rape or some of their usual bullshit. and he knew that chibnall was gonna nose dive the show so he wanted to make his final episode one where the REAL fans could clock out and call it a day with the entire show at least until an actual showrunner comes around and boots chibnall out the studio and retcons then entire timeless child storyline out of exsistence.
@@michaelkean5969 I'm sorry, what the fuck? Are you trying to blame this on Feminists? And you lot wonder why women feel uncomfortable in this fandom now.
Peter will always be my favourite doctor and Clara will always be my favourite companion. They are so underrated and hated for nothing....not every Tardis squad has to be happy, cheerfull and have a romantic relationship....
The Doctor's speech about being scared being a superpower is honestly one of the best moments in all of Doctor Who. Everyone wishes they knew how to comfort a child that's terrified of something, and Capaldi probably gave one of the best ideas for comfort I've ever heard
There are so many moments from Capaldi's tenure as The Doctor that are incredible. One I think which sometimes goes overlooked is his conversation with Davros. It's a full circle acceptance since the beginning of the Capaldi Doctor who was unsure if he was a good man, and it really is two estranged old almost-friends talking to one another after so much time apart. You can tell the Doctor truly cares about Davros, and strangely enough you can see that Davros does as well. And then it also outlines in a few short words the Doctor's modus operandi: "Compassion, then" "Always" "It grows strong and fierce in you, like a Cancer" "I hope so" "It will kill you, in the end" "I wouldn't die of anything else" I love that so much, and I'm glad this compilation put it in there.
This man is by far the best portrayal of The Doctor I have ever seen. Forever my Doctor. I love the ones that came before him and after him, but this is peak Doctor.
I don't like the scene between the Doctor, Danny and Clara because Clara knows he was ready to destroy his own planet to stop a war, she knows he was not in the back giving orders and why he hate soldiers and yet she say nothing when Danny is provoking the Doctor, she's even taking Danny side.
I don’t either for the same reason but you could look it cynically as davos does “The man who abhors violence never carrying a gun, but this is your truth doctor you take ordinary people and fashion them into weapons”
I believe "do you think i care for you so little, that betraying me would make a difference" is one of the best phrases in the history of media. It's just perfect.
Capaldi will always be my second favourite Doctor (ten has my heart and I grew up with him). Capaldi acted The Doctor so beautifully, always calm and collected with occasional breaks in emotion, he was a good man and he always knew what was right, his face was a reminder of his past and a reminder to do the right thing, he was loving and full of compassion, he was perfectly written and Capaldi gave the best acted performance of The Doctor in my opinion, he entered a mindset of acceptance rather than regret, I believe 9,10 and 12 all share a trait, they work off of one another and use their own experiences in their own respective times as ways to remind us to do one thing, be kind.
Hands down, the finest actor ever to play the Doctor. And I say that with nothing but the deepest love and respect for all the other Doctors. But none of them - not Tennant, not Baker, none of them - commanded a scene or delivered a layered performance like Peter Capaldi.
I was so damn glad Capaldi was ultimately HER Doctor. The one she truly missed. The one who took her to the Towers. I never liked her scenes with Matt Smith.
12 always makes me cry so hard. I started at 11 because I stepped in on my brother watching doctor who, so the regen was surprising, and I was disappointed, but when I finished watching capaldi I couldn't stop crying.
i will say peter’s era really pushed the show to places it has never or rarely been and that makes my rewatch of his run specifically so much more exciting for me!
Putting aside how amazing an actor capaldi is, the whole premise of his doctor was great. A doctor who wanted to mature and be older, yet still has the mind of a child. It is genuinely an amazing setup.
Honestly, Capaldi’s doctor is probably going to go down as one of the best, if not the definitive best, doctor of them all. Unlike many of the others, his personality changed organically over the course of the season, (a trait shared most by the 10th and 11th doctors to a lesser extent). He couldn’t be labeled the goofy doctor, or the serious doctor, or the calculating doctor etc because he isn’t just one of those type of traits. Even the 4th doctor mostly stayed the same throughout his time as the doctor, (at no fault of his own, only based on the writing). When we, as the audience, saw Capaldi’s doctor, we immediately assumed they were doing something horrible; that the acting was bad, the writing was bad, or something else was bad. We based our opinion of this doctor off the previous ones, which had a combination of brilliant character/story development mixed with fart jokes and adult innuendos; we were used to it being more of a light-hearted show. However, this doctor took 90% of those out and focused, purely, on the story and the characters involved. Of course some of the childish humor of past was present to a certain degree, but the jokes landed better because there was less of it overall. Whether this decision was the right one or not is debatable; some will say they prefer it to be a lighthearted show, while others prefer it to be a mostly serious drama. Both have their positives and negatives. However, the one thing we can all agree on is that Capaldi’s performance as the doctor was brilliant, Shakespearean, and borderline perfect. His doctor will absolutely be missed.
Capaldi was horribly underrated as the doctor. He was fantastic.
Was he? Everyone I know loved Capaldi when he really got into himself, Deep Breath really understates how good he is, and I'm disappointed that I stopped watching after DB.

Chiron of Pelion My friend and I are currently going through every series of Doctor Who on our new channel and I’d love to hear some feedback from people in the community like yourself:

Thanks for the comment!
If you’re going to watch his seasons skip season 8 & 9 and go straight to series 10 because Clara isn’t in it
@@theeastendboy I disagree. Watching the Twelfth Doctor grow from a bit of an arse with momentary flashes of promise in series 8 to *the perfect* Doctor by the end of series 10 is beautiful. Clara isn't so bad that I'd recommend people miss out on the best character arc in DW history.
Danii H I think part of why Peter gets people emotional is because he is older he has seen everything he has the face to prove it. Matt( I love Matt💝) but he's just so young looking. Peter's face is like Stone and I believe him when he says he's 2000 years old. Matt--I'm 25 years older than Matt.
You mean that wasn't the writing method?
Just remember, he was a good man. Whenever you think of the twelfth doctor, in your mind remember him as a good man. Whenever the other doctors moved up in ego or sunk to the depths of doubt, just remember that the twelfth stayed there, he sat like a rock, and persevered. The twelfth doctor was a good man.
He really was a good man. Without hope, without witness, and without reward he was willing to do what was right because it was kind
Am I the only one who cried when he asked if he was a good man?
He was a good man for considering the idea he wasn't.

Some say that Tennant’s 10th Doctor is the best Doctor but for me it is always gonna be Capaldi. He has serious moments, funny moments, subtle moments and the best ending speech of all the Doctors. Don’t get me wrong, I loved Tennant during his run, hell I love all the Doctors but Capaldi is the defining Doctor for me.
I think tenant hit the sweet spot for when he was in the show
Out of the actors who've been on the show since the reboot all of them could have done his role (with slight changes) tennet and by extention rt Davis were in the show during its return to reliance at least in the uk
I have never met ANYONE who says that 'David Tennant' is the best Dr .....never ! . . . . .. .but plenty agree that Tom Baker is best , followed by Jon Pertwee and also Peter Cushing was good in the movies . . . . . . .
Same with myself. I love all the doctors I've seen (Hartnell definitely starts more iffy, but he picks up more once Susan leaves, I feel), but Tennant is less my favorite Doctor and more like the baseline that sort of sets my mental image for what the Doctor should be like, and that necessarily invites comparisons that aren't always favorable, because nothing as much stands out of his incarnation, which I feel is just solid across the board.
I just completed my first rewatch of nuwho and yeah capaldi is my fav doctor, Tennant comes very close obv but capaldi just kills every scene I love it
Capaldi had the issue of poor writing during a good chunk of his run imo. Tennant was great as the Doctor but also had the benefit of being the Doctor during the golden age of the show. Whereas Capaldi gave an excellent performance despite everything, he was the Doctor when the show was on a unfortunate downturn.
He was genuinely amazing as The Doctor! Too many people see him as “too old” just like too many people saw Matt Smith as “too young”! Nobody will ever be happy with who plays The Doctor
and this is new who, for classic who, there is one, the great one, Tom Baker! Strong, athletic, relatively young ( the actor was in his 30/40 I think), those crazy eyes, iconic look. And acting ability.
And Jodie Whittaker as "too female"
And a few years after they’ll always look back and say they loved them. People never appreciate what they have until it’s gone.
@@ZzMattizZ the problem with Jodie is that her stories suck and the acting direction is obviously shit.
@@galarstar052 My point still stands, as both criticisms exist. A lot of people would complain about Capaldi being a great actor who was let down by "bad writing", but there was still people who judged him for being old, same thing happens with Jodie. One thing doesn't take away the other.
Personally my favorite doctor will always be David tenant, but I do believe that peter Capaldi acted the shit out of the doctor and definitely deserved the role.
Totally agree!
Same!
Agreed
The only two I actually love are Christopher Eccleston And Peter Capaldi ❤️😂
Same!!
What a fantastic actor, the people who abandoned Doctor Who because the actor was "old" didn't deserve him.
They forgot the Dr started with an old man. If anything this shows how fare he's come
Old. He’s a fucking silver Fox and handsome. People just didn’t know how to appreciate him at the time.
@@Mostie-ev7ohi was boutta say he kinda..
I have always loved his Bootstrap Paradox monologue. It's a great scene. And educational, too!
genius
Googling it helps too.
100% a movie with it all about it except the Beatles
SamuraiMarmoset the problem with is that it is not a paradox.
Paradox requires a breakdown of causality.
In Bootstrap Paradox causality is not broken, it's just circular instead of linear.
@@MrRavellon no bootstrap is a causal loop. A paradox does not need to breakdown causality. The paradox in a bootstrap is where does the line start.
Love that over each clip this doctor’s hair just gets crazier and crazier
he is slowly looking like the first doctor for sure
9:25 Really?! You give us the whole "Bootstrap Paradox" buildup, and you cut out the AWESOME guitar chords?!
If 10 and 11 were the bombastic highs of Dr. Who, then 12 is the solemn low note that forces some real perspective on the world.
this man is absolutely brilliant
Tanee p *absolutely fantastic
5:02 - Viscerally, that felt like a kick in the gut. That line, that one line that I had almost forgotten, is one of the most powerful he's ever said, and he said it with such calmness... This guy was the Doctor, and he was _fantastic._
The 12th Doctor. The only Doctor that I miss the most, despite him not being my favourite. Peter is just such an amazing actor, he portrayed the Doctor so wonderfully, I miss him dearly.
Peter capaldi you will always be the best doctor in my book
"No one else will ever have to think this way... no one will ever have to feel this pain... NO MORE"
"Can I talk about the planets now?"
No matter how you feel about Clara you can't deny the actress is damned good
Easily the best doctor in my opinion. So so brilliant, he is way too underrated for his skills and talent. I think Jenna even once said that he hardly had to do more than one take. He really is great
really?! whoa.
He's good, but Tennant is on a different stratosphere.
স he is definitely in the top 3 of best doctors
Charlie's Journey Tennant is worse. Most people like him because hes the first nuWho doctor who got more than 1 season and many people’s first doctor. The rtd era however was full of cliches, even tho it had some seriously good characterwork. Martha was annoying. When you hear that 4 was originally have a companion named penny who doctor has crush on, the era falls apart
Tom Baker is easily the Best Dr ...followed by Jon Pertwee ....then Peter Cushing in the movie series ........
Doctor Who is easily one of the best things Capaldi has ever acted in, and probably ever will be. His ultimate love, joy and passion towards the show shine through every moment that he lived as the Twelfth Doctor. And the less memorable act but still a great episode nonetheless in Pompeii, of course!
Also Torchwood! He brought me to tears as John Frobisher
He was a whovian after all
@@beepthemeep12 He IS a Whovian! As far as I know Capaldi's not dead.
Not complete true. You have to watch him in the thick of it. Complitely different , but good.
*insert comment about the thick of it being the best thing he ever acted in just cause he was loud and loud = funny*
So, I googled the Bootstrap Paradox, and there were some accompanying pictures Google gave me. The second image was Peter Capaldi holding the plastic replica of Beethoven's head.
Google is nice.
Google is a LOT of things...but 'nice' is hardly one of them. If they were, they'd still have 'don't be evil' posted.
real reason Captain Jack Harkness wasn’t with the twelfth doctor: he would’ve had a scottish accent the whole time
A bit gutted that you didnt include the moment where he sees his reflection, gets where he got his face from then announces what its for and screams to the heavens. But aside from that, great choices!

The moment at 5:02 is probably my favourite out of all of them (and I love them all). “Do you think I care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference?” 😭❤️ If only more people were like that!
I don't understand what it means
@@MrPOKER725 Basically, if someone betrays you and you therefore don't want anything to do with that person anymore, that person didn't mean much to you in the first place. But if someone betrays you and you really care for them, you will look beyond their betrayal and forgive them.
;)
so youre saying you think betrayal should have no consequences
@@danielpearson7506 No it's not as that simple as that. The Doctor knows that Clara couldn't ask him to use his TARDIS to fix Danny Pink's death, because he would quite clearly say "no" because of what has happened previously (when Rose went back to see her Dad and tried to save him). He knew that she would try to do something that reckless to force his hand. He was betrayed that she simply didn't ask, but he cares for her and her happiness like all of his companions.
I have friends like that in life, and those words resonated with me. Just because a friend has turned their back on me doesn't mean I will instantly turn my back on them in their time of need. I won't forgive them, or maybe I will but I won't forget. But when you are friends (sometimes the best of friends) you will always do whatever it takes to protect them. That is me to my friends. As I say, those words from the Doctor personified and resonated with me, they made situations like that make sense.
Let me ask you, could you be like that.
The raw and amazing acting of Peter Capaldi, it’s amazing.
They could’ve made 12 so bad, but Capaldi doesn’t allow that.
"Do you think I care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference?"
that hits deep right there
Sounds like Tom Baker when he says" I'm not a doctor. I am The Doctor". Peter is not an actor he is a great actor and a great Doctor. His regeneration speech is the best speech ever. Be good be kind don't eat pears and we might all get along!
He was REALLY channeling 4 for that one.
@@jasonmartin4775 well to be fair it IS based of a 4th doctor line

@Emma Martinez agreed
I’d love to see series 8 Capaldi, series 9 Capladi, and series 10 Capaldi in a multi Doctor story.
11 and 12 were the same, both David Tennant. Capaldi was 14. I don't understand why people never count second 11th and Hurt.

@@elliebrooke3987 Once again, the War Doctor never had a full run and the second Tennant is essentially the same character, so there is no point in distinguishing them.
One of my favorite moments that still sticks with me today is "and you'll still be gone" from Heaven Sent. The look of hopelessness in his eyes just breaks my heart.
Capaldi became my all time favorite with each episode. And I will never get over him.

Same ❤️❤️
I know what you mean. But at the very least we know they had 24 years together. We may not have gotten to see them, but deep down we know, they were happy
He will always be my Doctor. Nothing against the others, I like them too. But Capaldi was and always will be my favourite
I hope he prescribes creams better than he acts !!!!! . . . .. . . .
”I’ve always meant to have a look around, see if I could find one” I just realized that he might be talking about dying, not going by tardis!
But killing him when he is dying kills him its simply said like pressing b during a pokemon evolving only he dies for staying his old form.
I,,,never really liked Danny
He instigated that anger out of the doctor on purpose to manipulate Clara into believing him
SpookySpeks There is difference between good character and a character whos good
Your right he did things 12 told him not to like when he was shouting sir right after 12 told him not to and when 12 got rightfully angry and told him to get out he acted like he had done nothing at all. And even after all that 12 still tried to help him because losing him upset Clara.
Agree
Especially since all of Danny's points were wrong. He thought that the Doctor was the sort of man to send his soldiers into die. However, he's the one who tries to take a bullet, but his friends jump in front of him. At the timeline, he wanted to die, but Clara jumped in despite his direct wishes.
AshesToDust exactly he doesn’t know the first thing about the doctor yet assumes he must be a horrible person because he got over and although not fully slightly forgave himself for galifray since he now knows they aren’t all dead. But since Danny only had a few years of the death of one innocent on his mind he can’t believe that someone could get over what he believes to be the deaths of millions even after hundreds of years. He doesn’t understand that everything the doctor does is an apology for what happened.
Honestly, I never thought I’d say this when he started (especially because of Tennant and Smith) but Peter Capaldi is actually my favorite Doctor.
I have to agree, but ecclestone will always be number 1 for me.
All my smol life I was DETERMINED Tenant was the best Doctor but...I'm sorry my dude, it was never going to happen. Not when Capaldi came along.
Same, but I originally thought Matt Smith was the best doctor (Tenant is also absolutely amazing too, of course) but yeah, Capaldi is by far the best doctor there is
Baker all day long . . . . . . . .'matt smith' .....😆
Say what you want about 'Lie of the Land' and the trailer bait fake-regeneration scene, but that scene between The Doctor and Bill is perfectly acted by both Capaldi and Mackie.
With how much Jodie and Chibnal have split the Who Community, Capaldi's final scene on the battlefield was the perfect end for the fans that stopped watching. Eccleston to David, David to matt. Matt to Capaldi. Those were all obvious continues, but Capaldi's seemed so Final.
(don't reply with hate to Jodie, or hate to the people who don't like Jodie. This is just me saying his final send off, was so great as a final send off. The show could of ended there, and it would of been a good ending to the show.)
@Xtra Spice Mikey Naughty. Funny, but naughty.
I had low expectations for Jodie, but her comedy is the best part of her series. The stories are not great though.
I DONT HATE JODIE. shes a decent actress. my hate is directed at chibnall and the people who allowed his crap stories to be produced and aired. for me, capaldi was the last doctor...
it's like moffat knew that Chibnall and the ultra feminazis where coming for the show
and if he announced that he was going to stay then they'd simply meetoo him and lie about hi and claim rape or some of their usual bullshit. and he knew that chibnall was gonna nose dive the show so he wanted to make his final episode one where the REAL fans could clock out and call it a day with the entire show at least until an actual showrunner comes around and boots chibnall out the studio and retcons then entire timeless child storyline out of exsistence.

I’d have to disagree with you there. Peter Capaldi is a good actor but hardly the best.
The Doctor's speech about being scared being a superpower is honestly one of the best moments in all of Doctor Who. Everyone wishes they knew how to comfort a child that's terrified of something, and Capaldi probably gave one of the best ideas for comfort I've ever heard
There are so many moments from Capaldi's tenure as The Doctor that are incredible. One I think which sometimes goes overlooked is his conversation with Davros. It's a full circle acceptance since the beginning of the Capaldi Doctor who was unsure if he was a good man, and it really is two estranged old almost-friends talking to one another after so much time apart. You can tell the Doctor truly cares about Davros, and strangely enough you can see that Davros does as well.
And then it also outlines in a few short words the Doctor's modus operandi:
"Compassion, then"
"Always"
"It grows strong and fierce in you, like a Cancer"
"I hope so"
"It will kill you, in the end"
"I wouldn't die of anything else"
I love that so much, and I'm glad this compilation put it in there.
I transcribed that whole monologue from the zygon inversion for an audition this spring:)
Winterlove Kate ah
Fucking hell, good luck.
Have you done it? Did you get the part?
That's great! Hope all is well!
I transcribed it as well, though for no real reason other than getting it right.
12 will always be my favourite Doctor, Peter is an incredible actor and he doesn't get enough love for how amazing he is.
I'm incredibly proud to call Twelve "My Doctor" 💙💙
This man is by far the best portrayal of The Doctor I have ever seen. Forever my Doctor. I love the ones that came before him and after him, but this is peak Doctor.
"laugh hard, run fast, be kind. doctor... _i let you go_ "

'Doctor, I let you go' Queue me sobbing uncontrollably. Please come back 😓😓😓
Cue.
What's perfect Was that he said the same things as tennant and matt
:(
He should do an episode with another doctor
I don't like the scene between the Doctor, Danny and Clara because Clara knows he was ready to destroy his own planet to stop a war, she knows he was not in the back giving orders and why he hate soldiers and yet she say nothing when Danny is provoking the Doctor, she's even taking Danny side.
I don’t either for the same reason but you could look it cynically as davos does “The man who abhors violence never carrying a gun, but this is your truth doctor you take ordinary people and fashion them into weapons”
Danny was a terrible character and it was disgusting to see how quickly Clara sided against with him against the Doctor.
I don’t know. Clara didn’t know who to choose so I think she just dod nothing especially because was wanting to leave the TARDIS.
@@thor697 I think the intent was that Clara didn't want them to fight, that she knew he was spewing shit but didn't know how to explain it

I've never realised how much I want a guitar riff of Ode To Joy before.
I believe "do you think i care for you so little, that betraying me would make a difference" is one of the best phrases in the history of media. It's just perfect.
I want more serious discussions of paradoxes like the bootstrap scene. Really good way to introduce a concept.
Capaldi will always be my second favourite Doctor (ten has my heart and I grew up with him). Capaldi acted The Doctor so beautifully, always calm and collected with occasional breaks in emotion, he was a good man and he always knew what was right, his face was a reminder of his past and a reminder to do the right thing, he was loving and full of compassion, he was perfectly written and Capaldi gave the best acted performance of The Doctor in my opinion, he entered a mindset of acceptance rather than regret, I believe 9,10 and 12 all share a trait, they work off of one another and use their own experiences in their own respective times as ways to remind us to do one thing, be kind.
11 is my favourite, 12 is my second😊
Hands down, the finest actor ever to play the Doctor. And I say that with nothing but the deepest love and respect for all the other Doctors. But none of them - not Tennant, not Baker, none of them - commanded a scene or delivered a layered performance like Peter Capaldi.
"Do you think I care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference?" Simply sublime.
But who cried when The Doctor took River to the Singing Towers. One of my most favorite moments EVER!!!!
I was so damn glad Capaldi was ultimately HER Doctor. The one she truly missed. The one who took her to the Towers. I never liked her scenes with Matt Smith.
12 always makes me cry so hard. I started at 11 because I stepped in on my brother watching doctor who, so the regen was surprising, and I was disappointed, but when I finished watching capaldi I couldn't stop crying.
I wish I could tell Capaldi he was exellent, he made the doctor come alive for me. He was the doctor. Can we tell him That?

Gone too soon. I wish we could have had two or three more years of him as the Doctor.
i will say peter’s era really pushed the show to places it has never or rarely been and that makes my rewatch of his run specifically so much more exciting for me!
"You think i care for you so little that betraying me makes a difference?" Is one of the hardest lines the Doctor has ever dropped no cap
definitely the most ACTING actor we ever got that capaldi...
Putting aside how amazing an actor capaldi is, the whole premise of his doctor was great. A doctor who wanted to mature and be older, yet still has the mind of a child. It is genuinely an amazing setup.

David always gonna be my thriller of the doctor but DAMN the way Capaldi's look, talk, act... He deserved so much better than he got.
Honestly, Capaldi’s doctor is probably going to go down as one of the best, if not the definitive best, doctor of them all. Unlike many of the others, his personality changed organically over the course of the season, (a trait shared most by the 10th and 11th doctors to a lesser extent). He couldn’t be labeled the goofy doctor, or the serious doctor, or the calculating doctor etc because he isn’t just one of those type of traits. Even the 4th doctor mostly stayed the same throughout his time as the doctor, (at no fault of his own, only based on the writing). When we, as the audience, saw Capaldi’s doctor, we immediately assumed they were doing something horrible; that the acting was bad, the writing was bad, or something else was bad. We based our opinion of this doctor off the previous ones, which had a combination of brilliant character/story development mixed with fart jokes and adult innuendos; we were used to it being more of a light-hearted show. However, this doctor took 90% of those out and focused, purely, on the story and the characters involved. Of course some of the childish humor of past was present to a certain degree, but the jokes landed better because there was less of it overall. Whether this decision was the right one or not is debatable; some will say they prefer it to be a lighthearted show, while others prefer it to be a mostly serious drama. Both have their positives and negatives. However, the one thing we can all agree on is that Capaldi’s performance as the doctor was brilliant, Shakespearean, and borderline perfect. His doctor will absolutely be missed.
