The thing is, WEaT is the best but thr question was favourite which must be The Pilot for me
honestly hot take for me but extremis for me.
You keep posting things that are allegedly hot takes but that most of the fandom agree with.
You’ve got more hot takes than I’ve had hot dinners
Actually I agree with Extremis being really good, I love the atmosphere and the way it builds up to the reveal at the end. I think the three parter isn’t super strong together, but individually Extremis is fab.
Extremis is superb and easily my favourite of the Monk trilogy, I would say it’s also my 3rd favourite episode of the series, just behind WEaT/TDF, it has such a unique and eerie twist to it.
I guess my hot take on the Monk trilogy is that I actually like it all. It took me many rewatches to understand wtf happens in Extremis, but I think the other two eps are also strong. There isn’t an ep here I don’t like tbf
I think with Extremis, once you’ve seen the trilogy play out you can go back and get more from it too. Certainly that’s how I feel about The Halloween Apocalypse. Super chaotic but in the best way possible, once you’ve seen all of Flux you can go back and be like “Ahh!!!”
I think I’ve forgotten what a hot take is because I always thought the Monk trilogy was well regarded
I don’t think you’re the only one However yeah I’ve seen lots of hate for it over the years
I need a rewatch tbh!!!
Well I’ve not seen anyone say Extremis is the best episode of Series 10 so idk maybe its just me.
Lie of the Land is honestly overhated and empress of mars is really good!
It is a universal fact that DW fans cannot agree on anything and one person’s hate will be another’s dearest love
100%!!!
Agreed, one of my fave Gatiss tv episodes.
I disagree with this /j
While series 10 doesn’t hit the same emotional high points as series 9 for me, it’s a very consistently good series, with very high highs and not many lows.
Isn’t that one of the jokes in one of the Doctor Who Honest Trailers, that every Doctor and story is both the most overrated and underrated?
World Enough and Time, with honourable mentions to Extremis, The Pilot and Thin Ice.
Ah, love that Series!
Going with World Enough and Time (again… again), love that Episode! If I had a second Option, would probably go with Knock knock as well, since it’s excellent. In general, this Series has no bad Episode in my mind, at best some more “meh” or mixed bag ones.
It’s a shame we can only pick one, because there’s just so many perfect episodes in this series! My favourites are weat/tdf, thin ice, the pilot, and extremis.
World Enough and Time is one of the most well-paced, interesting and intelligent episodes we’ve gotten in years and easily the best outing of the Cyberman in the revival by far. It’s most definitely my favourite episode of Series 10.
The Doctor Falls however? Well, the less said about that, the better in my opinion.
