Dude capaldi is so under rated. I was at an age where tenant had left and Matt was in the middle of his run. When Capaldi was announced people kept complaining he was too old but he had the coolest monologues and the most unique episodes. It was like that cool grandfather who almost shouldn’t be as old as he is.

[@RealUlrichLeland]

He isn't particularly old compared to the classic doctors, and given that he was a childhood fan himself I think he was good at being a classic doctor.

[@benjaminnicholas5527]

Capaldi owned his role as the doctor i think. He was brilliant and Heaven Sent will always be one of my favorite episodes if not my favorite atm

[@blue-9017]

Okay, but Doctor is tremendously old. So it's natural that he would be played by someone who atleast in middle age. And that why I like Twelve. He one of the true faces of Doctor

[@CapnMarcoPolo]

I miss Punk Rock Grampa Doctor 🥲 Personally I have a hard time with his first season, but I feel like the writing did Capaldi a disservice. He was a little too cold and a little too outwardly cruel (even if "on the inside he's still a good guy") but man as soon as they let him loosen up and open up he soared from probably my least favorite doctor to one of my absolute favorites of all time. I actually wish he would have had a longer run- I wish Bill had too, I thought their dynamic was absolutely fantastic and tragically almost never talked about.... Also wish they didn't do her as dirty as they did

[@TAP7a]

Too old to play the Doctor, what a silly complaint. All an actor needs to be able to play the Doctor is an ordinary level of physical fitness and the ability to play exaggerated mood swings, everything else is free to vary

[@kayespace]

I just realised when he asked "What do you think?", he wasn't talking about his outfit. He was talking about the regeneration. So much hinged on that question and you can see the moment that Clara realised that and smiled. That smile said "ok, I accept you as my Doctor". It's why I loved Capaldi's Doctor so much. He was the Doctor that really showed the other side of regeneration, the damage of reinventing your whole self every time, and the trauma of trying to figure out who you are only to be usurped by the next regeneration.

[@geebees4766]

Brilliantly said

[@TheTideKing004]

If she accepted him, then the scene that immediately followed this one, you know where clara legit says, "i dont think i know who you are anymore." Wouldn't have happened. She changed the subject because she was avoiding the question because she didnt like it or accept him. That's why when the phone rings capaldi says, "You should get that. it's probably your boyfriend". Sometime i wonder if people actually pay attention when watching movies or shows.

[@kayespace]

@@TheTideKing004 cool cool 👍

[@WinterLove13]

I really want to watch this now. The companion maketh The Doctor imo. I liked both 11 and 12 more when Clara was in it, but not with their other companions. Amy Rory, and 12’s last ones.

[@TheTideKing004]

@WinterLove13 clara became a horrid person when capaldi came along, mate. From the moment she laid eyes on him. She lost her boyfriend and immediately tried to manipulate the doctor to save him regardless of their friendship and went so far as to throw all the tardiness keys into the fires of a star just to get her way. You liking that is very concerning to me.

[@jessepollard7132]

Capaldi was the best version of the Doctor after Tom Baker.

[@RaoGung]

The best of the Doctors. Balancing the fun and the dark aspects.

[@soren3569]

I think the big weakness of Capaldi's run was that they never really made good on the promise of this scene. The idea of a Doctor who spends a good portion of his time running around and correcting the mistakes made by his prior incarnations, without actually causing temporal paradoxes, could be legend. Imagine an episode where he intervenes to keep the astronaut from The Waters of Mars from killing herself, while still allowing Tenet-Doctor to believe it happened. Then he helps her fake her own death, and takes her several generations into the future, so she can see the universe her descendant (who'd been inspired by her life) created.

This whole episode was for the hating fans. The fans the didn't want an older man to be the doctor. When the doctor is sleeping and translating for the dinosaur and he says "You can't see me. Can't see me." - that was for those fans. When Vastra accuses Clara of being shallow and Clara goes off on her....that was for those fans. And he later asks Clara "Would you be cross if I hadn't changed my face?" - THAT was ESPECIALLY for those fans. And then when Matt Smith calls Clara and tells her to help him. And The Doctor says "I didn't need to listen. That was me talking. I'm not on the phone. IM RIGHT HERE. You look at me and you can't see me. Do you know what that's like? Just see me. Just see me." IT WAS FOR THOSE PEOPLE. The Doctor is not a young man. He's very old. And if you really are a true Doctor Who Fan.....The Doctor is The Doctor. And he always will be. Peter was, in my opinion, the most real depiction of what a 2,000 year old man would be like. He was the realist Doctor. And when that ring fell from The Doctors finger....I cried real tears.

Ppl calling Clara 11's rebound are the ones who had hard time letting Amy go. Clara wasn't a rebound, even before meeting her in old London Doctor had already spent years alone in his grief and was ready for a new companion, it wasn't rushed, so it wasn't a rebound. And after that he AGAIN spent long time obsessing over Clara in a monastery. He healed by that time for sure. Stop diminishing Oswald by calling her a rebound, because she is not one and she never was

Just noticed, capaldi matches her outfit.

Peter held the different aspects of the last few doctors in him and it was fabulous

[@zachgreenninja3885]

Wow! 8 years today since my favourite Doctor’s First episode!

[@Afrattino]

Peter Capaldi’s Doctor made me excited about becoming a grumpy cool old man! 😝

[@loudeclercq]

My favourite Doctor!

[@Riateph]

That look down and up from 12 with the smile is so SOFT and sweet, i loved Peter already by the time that moment aired but I was completely in love with his Doctor after it

[@TheOriginalEwan]

The soundtrack fits so well.

[@garcruncher7271]

I wish Peter had a longer time. I really enjoyed his run.

[@thedoctorwho73]

I really miss being the 12th doctor.

[@thedoctor2351]

Oh hey hello me from the future!

[@threebadgersinatrenchcoat7957]

@UCGkz76GIGo8n14ktBNJQ0Mw it’s not Peter Capaldi, it’s just someone who called their KZbin profile “the doctor”

[@thedoctorwho73]

@@thedoctor2351 hey me from the past!! How are you? 😁

[@12thdoctor]

What a coincidence! Hello there!

[@777dobbin777]

This reminds me of the Spider-man meme pointing, but more so that 70's show episode where 3 of them are doctors in one scene shaking hands, "doctor, doctor, doctor, ah, doctor, doctor"

[@northerncaledonia2901]

I can't express how much I love Peter's Doctor, he's truly MY Doctor, I don't think anyone ever could replace him for me
