We have a LONG wait until DW returns to TV! So tell me, what are YOUR unpopular DW opinions!?

For me, I LOVED the first series of both 12 and 13. They were trying new things and I really appreciated the freshness. It felt more creatively honest to me than the follow-up series.

let me suggest you try revisiting him again? but if you can't stomach his early, gruff episodes, try jumping to his second series. he does have an overall arc where he mellows and re-embraces empathy and compassion.

Wasn't until a minute after he killed a guy in the first season in the episode where they get shrunk to cure a defective dalek on a battleship that it hit me - the doctor just killed a guy?? Not everyone lives?? That's not the "nice" doctor I knew @.@

But I was morbidly intrigued, and fell in love with the doctor who always seemed on the verge of dropping F bombs. He never did, lmao
