For me, itâs 11-13. I just genuinely think they are badly written. Everything was in place for it to be great, but ultimately it was the writing that let it down.
Iâll definitely agree with Series 11.
Series 12 though I felt was incredibly polarising - it had some really dreadful episodes (âOrphan 55â and âPraxeusâ⌠that finale!) but it also contained some of my favourite episodes from the Chibnall era;
âNikola Teslaâs Night of Terrorâ is one I feel is very underrated, âDiodatiâ was excellent, and âSpyfallâ is probably my joint favourite story with the Thirteenth Doctor.
There were also odd cases like âCan You Hear Me?â which I feel were just pure missed potential.
For some reason I canât get interested in the Eleventh Doctorâs episodes. Iâve watched a handful and they were all boring. I like the Doctor himself though.
The big caveat to my votes is that I have only half watched the Thirteenth Doctor run. I gave up after Rosa. Iâve skimmed and watched bit and pieces. There are probably solid episodes in there, but itâll be a while before I get there.
13 just doesnât have anything that works for me. At least 11 and 12 sometimes do interesting stuff sometimes. Flux was just a disaster in my opinion.
Flux feels like a bit of a mess to be, though Iâll be honest, I havenât watched it too much, maybe a rewatch is in order, but yeah,
7b is my least favourite though, itâs Moffat at his worst
- Claraâs not a character yet, sheâs a mystery box
- Bells of Saint John annoys me as someone who does Comp Sci
- Ring of Ahkaten is a meh story a great speech and a bad resolution
- Cold War takes the ice warrior out of the suit and it just doesnât work
- I used to be able to do name every NuWho story (roughly) in order, and Hide was the only one I always missed, just completely forgot everything about it
- Journey to the Center of the TARDIS is missed potential
- Crimson Horror is a guilty pleasure, itâs the one story here I like and itâs got the least doctor
- Nightmare in Silver makes the Cybermen feel like just generic robots (detatching head, really?), the kids are annoying, and the line
- Name of the Doctor would be the worst Moffat finale, but unfortunately Wedding of River Song exists
Sorry everyone but s7 is good actually and I will be a s2 hater forever teasing, I donât actually hate s2, but it definitely is one of my least rewatched. I find it dull and I donât really like tenrose. Series 12 is probably my other least watched series
Fun fact about âNightmare in Silverâ - it was almost completely rewritten by Steven Moffat because the BBC wanted to launch the new Cyberman design.
The original script Gaiman wrote was supposed to be called âThe Last Cybermanâ. Remember a couple of years back when people were begging BigFinish to adapt it.
For me, itâs Series 12, undoubtedly, but mostly because of a personal grudge since it almost turned me off the show entirely I was so disappointed.
Firstly, Iâm one of the many people who despise the Timeless Child, considering itâs a ridiculous, bumbling plotline with no respect or thought towards any other piece of Doctor Who canon and all it feels like is Chibbers trying to forever get his name branded on Doctor Who.
Secondly, I either hate or canât remember every single episode from the season. I got some enjoyment out of Spyfall Part One but the recycled twist of the Masterâs reveal and the fact that I â â â â â â â hate the Spy Master with a burning passion ruin it for me.
It has the 13th Doctor, a character already almost entirely lacking in interesting qualities, at her absolute worst, a TARDIS team even more boring than their first outings with a show runner literally avoiding giving them interesting characterisation, the most ridiculously misunderstood and confused moral quandaries I have ever seen that unintentionally villainises the Doctor and it all ends on an unsatisfying, underwritten, underdeveloped and poorly executed finale that left me feeling so hollow I genuinely considered turning off the TV and never returning to the show.
i want to say s7 is one of my least favorite (and as a season in general i think it is) but there are a couple episodes in it i genuinely really enjoy, in spite of how much i dislike the way clara and eleven are written together⌠the crimson horror and JttCotT are both personal favorites. i am absolutely a 2013 specials hater i think theyre overhyped for their actual level of quality, even if i enjoy day of the doctor.
s11 has to be my least favorite with how many of the episodes i find actually distasteful. i do think the following two series get progressively better with s13 having some episodes i genuinely really enjoyed (especially war of the sontarans) but it just never calms down. way too much going on to keep track of and nothing ever gets to breathe. if you had me write a list of things that happen in that season i dont think i could possibly tell you which episodes they were from.
Nope. Not biting.
Every season is some personâs favourite and as much as I might dislike something who am I to rain on someone elseâs parade
And besides, youâre all wrong.
Itâs Series 8.
(Why the hell are people voting for Flux?! It was brilliant!)
Everyone voting Flux, yâall have got terrible taste besties.
For me itâs S3. Has an incredible run in the back half, though the finale kinda gets worse as it goes, but man the first half of the season just has nothing that I really like, and as much as I love Martha, the whole season feels dragged down by her âwhy doesnât he love me backâ deal.
And even as a big 13 fan, S11 is near the bottom for me. As a collection of episodes, itâs really solid: mostly sorta mid episodes that are a lot of fun and good comfort watches, with a couple real standouts in there, including one of my top 5 stories of all time. But as a cohesive season? Yeah, not much going for it. Some character arcs, particularly with Graham and Ryan, but itâs just such a drop off from how incredibly thematically cohesive and character-driven 12âs era was that itâs jarring on a first watch.
I agree with Delta on this - I donât want to vote. Every season has stuff I like and stuff I dislike. I can find things to enjoy in all of them, and things to complain about for hours, too. Such is the nature of Doctor Who.
I am a little sad to see s7B so high on the list, though. Itâs my favourite. I know some of the episodes arenât great and again, thereâs plenty to complain about, but I love Eleven and Clara so much, both together and apart. My favourite new-Who Doctor and companion, so of course the combination is going to have a special place in my heart.
I quite like 11 and clara together in the 7B specials, but it just doesnât work for me in 7B itself unfortunately
I like 7B, but I am a Clara sucker. I think its biggest problem is so few episodes to build to a finale/50th. For me, the highs far outweigh the lows, hence I canât give it a âworstâ vote.
Plus its not a season so I couldnât vote anyway.
The series 4 specials. Not even close.
Planet of the Dead was boring.
The Waters of Mars gave us the Time Lord Victorious.
And The End of Time sigh - The 10th Doctor might not want to go but I sure was glad to see the back of him after that mess.
And Iâll echo: Flux was brilliant! And itâs series 9 thatâs the best one
Dishonourable mention to series 2!
I respect your opinion but you are wrong.
Why donât we just stick to our individual tasks on this site.
You: Make everyone suffer through K9
Me: Keep banging the âThe End of Time is terribleâ drum until everyone agrees with me
Incredible how you can start so badly, then be incredibly based for a bit, then go right back to bad opinions /lh
