My big problem with 13 is there is rarely a worthwhile payoff. Her last season was building up to this cool thing and then it fissled out like a 30 year old sparkler. As much as I don’t blame Jodie I do think they messed up with a lot of her character decisions. From 9-12 you can see aspects of the others and many former doctors. Capaldi especially has a lot of inspiration from former regenerations but 13 rarely tried to tie them together with anything more than a single out of context line. The few tries to connect her to whovian lore always worked too her time with Captain Jack was great m. If they’d just stayed a little more true to Doctor lore and not mucked about with way too many companions and convoluted stories with no pay off it would have been much better. That said I would only ever suggest people watch 13 if they are big fans already. Such a shame since when she gets the chance she can shine as the doctor, they just rarely gave her one.

Nice to have a new place to hang my virtual coat and peer into the endless void of the internet.
