I’m struggling with the same problem as almost everyone in this game. Day of the Doctor is a 7 getting licked by 8s, 9s, and one 10.
I’d go:
Heaven Sent
World Enough and Time
The Day of the Doctor
The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances
Silence in the Library
The Eleventh Hour
The bottom two 9s, the rest 10s
For me:
World Enough and Time
Heaven Sent
The Day of the Doctor
Empty Child two parter
The Eleventh Hour
Silence in the Library
But it’s all a close race between them tbh
Fun to rank them. The last two are 4/5 and the rest are 5/5.
The Day of the Doctor
The Eleventh Hour
Silence in the Library
The Empty Child
The Doctor Dances
World Enough and Time
Heaven Sent
I do admittedly have a strong bias in favor of the Capaldi era, which I consider the best the revival has ever been, and up there with Cartmel and Hinchcliffe fighting for the best the show has ever been.
it’s hard, but from best to worst:
Day of the Doctor
World Enough and Time
Eleventh Hour
Heaven Sent
Silence in the Library
Empty Child/Doctor Dances
I mean, we are mostly (meaning not Tian or Delta or me) happy. We have been talking for days about how we like most of the episodes. Just because we have to choose one over the other it doesn’t mean we are downvoting something we dislike.
I do dislike Day as already discussed tho soooooo
No idea how one could possibly dislike The Day of the Doctor. And there’s rarely a Doctor Who opinion that I can’t at least understand at some level.
Personally, Day has never done much for me (Night though, that is excellent)
Heaven Sent and World Enough and Time are two of my all time favourite stories, and the Eleventh Hour is one of the (if not the) best Doctor introduction stories, and it’s one my family has a fondness for, so that’s where my priorities lie at the moment.
Since we’re ranking them:
Heaven Sent
World Enough and Time
Empty Child/Doctor Dances
Silence in the Library
Day of the Doctor
Eleventh Hour
Lol, that is my list upside down ![]()
If I’m being perfectly honest, no matter how fantastic of an episode I think Heaven Sent is, I don’t actually want it to win this game. I think it might be my next target after Eleventh Hour, or maybe after Silence in the Library.
It might be top ranked for me, but I’m not really supporting it or World Enough and Time for that reason this game.
The only reason to target any is because you legitimately think the rest are better. Why wouldn’t you want the one you find to be the best to win?
Because Heaven Sent automatically winning every time is shows up in a game is booooring.
Well. It’s widely considered the best episode of Doctor Who. So if your game is a collection of episodes that contains Heaven Sent and you’re trying to narrow down the best, it usually wins. If you don’t want it to win, make an Elimination Game without it
The fun thing about Elimination Games is that people can use whatever criteria they like for voting.
That’s true, but voting one out when you actually think it’s the best one there doesn’t make any sense.
Was about to do my own ranking before seeing this, honestly probably same here with the whole Ranking. I think all of those Stories/Episode are excellent, and I’d be pleased if any of those wins (even if I am rooting for World Enough the most). I still feel bad for downvoting Silence, I think it’s exceptional, but especially now with its latter Episode gone, I think this one was the best Call to do.
Anyway what do we reckon will the next Elimination Game be another Bloodbath like this one or should we have something which is not one (Impossible with Who Fans.)
Well, I think we still haven’t done an Australian K9 elimination game…
