12 has the best episodes in the series by my approximation.
Like I would go as far to say that the last season is handily the best on the show has done.

I need to watch 12
I just got so sick of Moffat
Capaldi's first season is rough. And definitely has some utter dreck. But each following season is a marked improvement. And I'd say the best episode in the show's history is in his second season. He also becomes the rare Doctor to have his finales actually work? But yeah the last season is almost all great.

Pitch: a season of Doctor Who where he is joined in tenuous alliance by Doctor What and a cohort similarly named after the other interrogatives that spend most of every episode bickering about grammar, once viewer interest plummets they introduce a Charlie Day-esque wildcard character, Doctor Whomst, who just delivers rapid adaptations of popular Weird Twitter meme formats in a transparent bid for gif virality, this is a completely original idea that I came up with just now, please do not point me to instances of people saying the same thing hundreds of times over the past couple years
I may need to give Capaldi another shake in all fairness
I was very very burnt out on the show last I tried a few years back, but I since watched The One With the Mummy on a Train and rather liked that episode
I like how, in forum tradition, a post dunking on a thing has turned into an actual earnest discussion among fans of said thing. Real "speak the name of the devil" shit

Oh yeah Mummy on The Orient Express was probably my favorite of that season. Though Listen was also *really good*
Capaldi's first season had more good than bad, in my opinion. His second season was really good. His performance generally elevates even slightly crap material, but nothing could save Kill The Moon.

Kill the Moon is fucking baffling. As is In the Forest of The Night.
But I really enjoyed Flatline, Mummy On the Orient Express, Listen, and the finale.
I also think Capaldi's run is maybe the only time they have made the Master work as a character for me.
I spend a lot of effort avoiding the news because I'm shit and become completely non-functional if I pay attention to how fucked things are. I'm barely a functioning human being when things are at just the regular level of being fucked and terrible.
Ugh. I read some of the news threads in D&D and now I am depressed.
Just do what I do and never read the news!
I know this is largely in jest, so place don't feel like I'm dunking on you
But dang, I wish I could unplug from the news.
But since me and my family and people I love are at direct risk from a lot of this shit, I don't really have that luxury
Real talk:
I recognize it's a pretty extremely privilege to be able to ignore the news while continuing to live my life as normal, but staying plugged in and informed to the same degree as I was before last November generally puts me into a nihilistic funk that I'd rather avoid, so I make the (selfish) choice to avoid actively following the news
working to improve the world, even in small ways, is important
but you have to make sure that you put yourself in a position where you're capable of doing that rather than be overwhelmed by the ways in which the world needs improving
Yeah I've had to tap out on the news a bit lately, or at least tone back on the amount I read it, because it's felt almost like some sort of misery addiction
It's getting to the point where it is really weighing me down and making it harder to function in the day-to-day especially given how much of it is outside of my control
It's difficult, because I have always felt there is a moral duty to read it and be informed, but the sheer inability to change a lot of what's happening is hitting me pretty hard, when the best I can really do is contribute financially to good causes and hope things improve otherwise
I try to follow the news as much as possible, but I've avoided endlessly discussing some things. Like I tapped out of the court talk immediately when Kennedy announced his retirement. That was just Too Depressing and there's nothing to be done about it.
Is there a Doctor Who episode where he meets Abbott and Costello and his confusing introduction ends up inspiring them to come up with their famous comedy bit?

You mean meeting other famous monsters?

No but he did sneak his way into a Laurel and Hardy movie in The Impossible Astronaut

We're approaching the point where Giant Bomb existed without Ryan Davis longer than it existed with him, and that kinda bums me out.
He helped build a team that's lasted 5 years without him and 10 years total
That's really impressive
Everything else with Amnesty is worth it for that
To be fair
So did I just now
How do you not get that his name is Hatcher and he is a Chicken boy with a giant egg
This is the most I've ever considered Billy Hatcher
Just do what I do and never read the news!

I feel like that can lead to other issues.
