Impressive for listing them all. Obviously he isn’t in all of them, but lord… I thought I was being hyperbolic when I said 25 :sob: HOW IS IT MORE?

Not that I complain, just kinda shocked about the amount!

Back when BBC Studios had money. Those were the days. It was a bit of a jolt at the time, when the Capaldi era kicked off and minisodes were like a rare bird.

Going for The Power of Three and Nightmare in Silver.
I’m really not a fan of this season, it’s difficult to pick two stories I would classify as liking.
If 7V were here, it’d be two stories from there, easily.

Series 7 is kinda one of those Series where there are several good episodes but everything together just doesn’t gel all that well. At least in my opinion.

Honestly I think there are only a few kinda bad stories (The Doctor, The Widow, and the way too long title; Dinosaurs on a Spaceship though it is entertaining, and Nightmare in Silver) but the whole thing together is just kinda dull. Most episodes are decent at the very least and it has a few really good episodes, but no real heavy-hitters.

For 7A, I really like The Power of Three even if the ending does disappoint (damn you Steven Berkoff, I like you in Octopussy why were you a prick here?) but I have to go with The Angels Take Manhattan. It’s one of those stories where the emotional beats win out over logical flaws.

And for 7B I’m going with Cold War, I actually really like it. Maybe it’s because it was my first Ice Warrior story so it didn’t have standards to beat for me, but I just think the story is tense and scary. Reminded me of Dalek from Series 1 (but that story is definitely better). And Clara gets a great scene with the professor. I didn’t even mind Skaldak leaving his armor, nor his CGI face.
