I’m getting my friends back into doctor who with Capaldi and its working cause hes so good

And WHAT exactly WAS wrong with Jodie?????

I don't really understand the dislikes for old Doctor. Like, it's The Doctor... My top 3 Doctors are the 12th, 3rd, and 1st.

And I'd have said they were morons.

I have always loved Peter's capaldi's doctor. It took longer to warm to Capaldi than Tennant and Smith was my doctor that came into the role in my formative years so he cught me the moment he said "legs". But by the time Clara and Capaldi had their scene in the Android Restaurant in Deep Breath, he had me. Heaven Sent is a masterpiece of an episode and i honestly believe it is the best episode of Doctor Who ever made.

Capaldi was the best doctor

I always loved Peter Capaldi's take on the Doctor. What made his turn at the helm objectionable was the writing (which has been the problem with the last three Doctors). Some brainiac decided to make Capaldi's Doctor sharp and unlikable, so that they could slowly soften him over time. Audiences HATED it, which makes sense since, if you don't like the Doctor THERE'S NO BLOODY REASON TO WATCH. What makes this doubly frustrating is that this was the exact same thing that they tried with Colin Baker - make him unlikable and soften him as they go. It got the original run of the show cancelled. Just plain stupidity in action. I also quite liked Jodie Whittacker's take on the Doctor, but her run's writing was even worse than Capaldi's, with several episodes feeling like they had been sourced from teenagers after watching episodes of Quantum Leap. And I have no idea who Gatwa's Doctor is. They are so busy making him a quantum level of gay that I can't tell anymore where the bad writing and bad directing end, and his performance starts. There have been a number of times where his scenes depended on emotional content and he was fantastic. So who knows. Rumor has it that RTD has fired him, so we'll see what happens.

For me, Peter Capaldi will always be the defining Dr. Arguably the strongest actor to ever embody the role, he imbued all the qualities and characteristics that makes Dr Who so compelling but it was his humanity that set him apart. Unfortunately for him, his stories were wildly inconsistent (some of the very best and worst New Who episodes) and he didn't have quite the same youth appeal as Tenant or Smith. Alas, the show is virtually unwatchable now.

I liked Capaldi as The Doctor from the first episode. He was great even though some of the scripts were weak (and 'Woke'), but he did a great job with what he had to work with. I can say Number 12 is my favorite Doctor.

He got tricked the end

i did not knew that Peter (and Clara) was that hated. I loved him from the first episode and He was my favorite doctor and always will be. I also loved David and Matt but Peter is just my Number one

Anyone who didn't like Peter Capaldi's era the first time around, don't know quality when they see it. And don't deserve to watch it, he was one of the best Doctors, even better than Tennant or smith, because he was not trying to be liked. He acted the pants off of all the new doctors. From Eccleson onwards.

Really? Chris was my favorite until Peter, but I can see how he'd be "hated" if many people had latched onto David or Matt instead.

his zygon war speech was what got me into dr.who

I liked Capaldi. I did hate his disrespect for Danny Pink. But I realize that was intended. I liked the guitar. The episode where he was in the confession dial may be my favorite episode of all. And the episode where a _simulation_ of the Doctor beats the _real_ bad guys by calling the real Doctor ... that's just brilliant.

Can't believe I'm about to say this and I will only say it once...but thank you Chris chibnall for making your era of doctor who so bad it made me go back and watch capaldies run as the doctor,like many other people I didn't realise what I had missed out on

Always find it interesting how the 10th and 12th doctor (who are both tied as my favourite) sort of developed in reverse,the 10th doctor started out as much happier energetic figure who by the end of his run had completely broken down,the 12th doctor starts out much more unstable straight away and it takes him a long time to figure out who he but he's also probably the most stable he's been in a while at least near the end though he does freak out about his renegeration for a little bit so

I enjoyed Capaldi's Doctor. Jodie Whitakers Doctor showed how substantial of a drop the show could go. In contrast it is massive.

To be honest, I loved Capaldi from the beginning! I was mainly hooked by the fact that the 12th Doctor's flaws like his difficulty to express affection or his uncaring attitude were the first things we learned about this character. The previous three Doctors (haven't watched the classics back then) were written as likable first and complex second. Learning the Doctor's flaws before discovering his strengths was a bold move, but I thought this showed some confidence on the writer's part in their character design. Also, Peter Capaldi rocks no matter how stupid the storylines get. Another type of actor may have butchered this character but this man just seemed born to be the Doctor! I personally don't like rankings that much, but Capaldi's charisma would easily put the 12th Doctor at the top of mine. And, yeah, I didn't expext the sunglasses to stick either, but there is a point about their practicality. Even a Time Lord would see more of the precise measurements these things projected than though a flashing, noisy light...

Personally I loved Capaldi's Doctor. Even if you hated him he can't possibly be the most hated Doctor ever. Because - Jodie Whittaker and Ncuti Gatwa.

Jodi was the force awakens of Doctor Who. we didn't realize how good The prequels were, until we saw how bad it could get.

And I thought that "old school" Trekkies were obnoxious and childish... I loved this Doctor! He's one hell of an actor.

So basically… Jodie W was so bad that the second worst dr is good!!! What’s going to come of the current dr? Can Jodie be reframed as not the absolute worst? Or will the title remain?

I loved Capaldi from minute one, and only disliked the episodes "Kill the Moon" and "Sleep No More". Also liked Clara even if I missed the Ponds.

Liked Capaldi a lot as the doctor.

Peter Capaldi is by far and away the best ever!

No, he wasn't hated at all!

Capaldi was deinitely one of my favorite. Liked him from the beginning. He was in some ways the most human while being the most alien. He might feel himself different from his companions and always strived to understand humanity when in actuality, the way he acted and the way he felt was the most human of all. His compassion, his anger, his desire to protect, his jealousy, he portrayed so many different emotions. Furthermore, he really was the first I felt to fully show just how old the doctor was. He had wisdom from all his years, and a certain tiredness that made it feel like he just wanted to rest at times, but also knew he needed to keep going. I also loved his relationship with Clara as it did feel very father/daughter-esq which I thought worked better then the romantic connection between her and Smith. Smith and Coleman, while great, felt inorganic at times with the romance.

Everyone has an opinion but yours is flawed

In Dr Who for me the Cybermen are the best ever returning villains IMO better than, the Daleks and also they look like humans whereas the Daleks do not have a human appearance.

I am in the minority because I always liked Capaldi and Eccleston much more than Tennant and Smith. I am also in the minority for liking Clara Oswald as a companion. Capaldi was a great final Doctor for the NuWho era.

Others here can laugh at me I really don't care, but I do believe that there are time Lords and time Ladies out there both the good and the bad, ESPECIALLY our ancient abolished ancestors

Capaldi is probably my favorite Doctor. The writing wasn’t always on par. But he is a damn good actor and did the best he could with what he had. I like him best, probably because as my wife says “he old and grumpy, like you”. I’m still not sure if that’s a good thing or not.

Easy. Cast two completely horrible doctors after him. Anyone would look fantastic by comparison. Personally, though, I loved Capaldi's doctor second, only behind Jon Pertwee's doctor. I know, I'm an outlier.

I liked him initially because I drew comparisons to Rick and Morty. I loved him upon rewatch and understanding his arcs

I loved Peter Capaldi’s time on the show when it was first airing and have never stopped loving it.

Peter saying "Hello sweetie" to River still gets me emotional.

What happened to the cybermen tomb after the events of “The Tomb of The Cybermen”?

Capaldi was brilliant.

I loved Capaldi. That said, I don't quit on Doctor Who because of the actor (I think every casting has been okay, at worst). I quit on Doctor Who because of the writing. Jodi was fantastic as The Doctor. The writing however... oof.

Honestly always loved Capaldi, and loved Matt smith too.

John Simm#1💕

He was always a man and now they made him a woman 🤮

That was the worst thing that happened to the show

Great knowing Allonzo’s actor is back!

No, we had Classic Who on PBS, but also we got the premiere of the Reboot. I think it was on SciFi, but I could be wrong about that

I'm just saying the great intelligence did enter The Doctor's time stream, and began rewriting his past, but also it was the Doctor's entire time stream so he was also rewriting his future. Whose to say there's not some lingering remnants, and perhaps the great intelligence in a way became the Valeyard. Maybe this is why we don't know where this Doctor comes from because it's from a rewritten timeline we haven't properly seen yet.

I was a bit unsure at first, but it quickly became clear that he was going to be one of the best. Capaldi and Smith are my favorites of new Who, though I do enjoy Tennant and Eccleston a LOT. But those two got the great scenes. Smith's Q&A at the end of "The Eleventh Hour" that sent them running, What he told Madam Kavorkian in "Demon's Run" about good men and rules. And even more so Capaldi, His whole speech in the the Zygon inversion.

first arc in capaldi it was so agonizing uh i cant i not who u think i ma bla bla

Capaldi was unloved? The world needs grumpy Doctor.
