Comment on Doctor Who: Here's Why David Tennant is The Face of The Modern Era

So looking forward to the new series… I feel as if Doctor Who had gotten too dark, too self-serious and in some ways, too self-serving. We need a bit of lightness back, and hopefully Davies can rekindle that.

Actually one of my main issues with the last series was that it wasn’t dark and serious enough. Jodie was a good doctor and holds no blame but i feel like the script was softened “to fit a women”

I agree Jodie wasn’t given good material, but I didn’t like the darkening and extra-helping of gravitas that came with Capaldi’s Doctor. Don’t get me wrong, I like Capaldi, but it felt really off (a sonic guitar?) and it was as if they were writing for his eyebrows, not the character.

Capaldi is my favourite. He was capable of being funny and a little crazy while also being cool and emotional.
