    the 10th doctor having vanity issues
    the 11th doctor seemed to be a bit more silly and immature
    the master turning good because of the 12th doctor's influence
    the doctor was supposed to die permanently in his 12th incarnation only to impossibly revive
    the doctor became a woman on his 13th transformation
    and the phrase 'never be cruel, nor cowardly' was said multiple times in 12's run (notably, during his regeneration)

    The fact that the plot holds up (as much as any DW plot does), it uses Timey-Wimey events and even has a clever twist for how The Doctor and The Master can share info secretly.
    It’s a masterpiece in its way, poking fun in a way that manages to be reverential. It’s a tricky line to tread but it does perfectly.
    … and it also involves the Daleks having a beam to destroy the universe, and sewers being a plot point….. sound familiar? (Moffat never wastes an idea) 😎

Really this is exactly what a good parody is. Just really good media that knows the source material well enough to make fun of it in an intelligent way.

      @@hokimaki1234 Exactly. This comic relief alone proves it. We got 5 new Doctor Who actors who all performed the role fantastically and felt like the Doctor even in this comic relief special. It's been said over and over but it's not a super difficult role to play (not that everyone who does will be Peter Capaldi), but it does come down to the writing.

    Steven William Moffat. A lifelong Doctor Who fan who went from doing comedy sketches to actually running the show. I love the guy, even if I don't agree with all of his writing decisions. Whenever he hit a home run, it was due to his passion for Doctor Who and whenever he stumbled, it was also due to that same passion. He's always been a member of the fanbase and, aside from the original creators, there's nothing better than a professional writer who also happens to be a fan.
