Surely the OP can grasp the idea that every aspect of Capaldi's performance is Capaldi interpreting the script and playing a role and not representative of the actor himself.
If he wheezes, appears tired or falls over, that's because Capaldi added those things into his characterization on purpose - not because he had an accident and the cameras kept rolling
I think you're crediting the OP with a little too much critical thinking there... The evidence would suggest not.

I see your point I'm not sure - usually posts like those are made by people who're perfectly capable of the applying amount of thought required here but for some reason choose not to.
I think he's the most exciting choice to play the doctor since Chris Ecclestone - who, frankly, was a crushing let down in the end as they just had him play the character like a burbling fool.
I liked his dry, witty, laid-back style. Subtler than the more theatrical performances of other actors in that lead role, but just as enjoyable.
This may be one of the best photos I have ever seen - as seriou and dark as his doctor looks, he does seem to have a way with kids and recognize the importance of them as fans
Re his name - it's a running joke I have on DS. I always call him Cabaldi.
Because baldness is an attribute of the elderly, and Mr Capaldi is relatively old? Or is it just that the symbol 'pald' is similar to 'bald'? Just trying to understand the workings of your humour, here.

The joke works even less when Capaldi has a full head of hair. It's a rather nice head of hair if I do say myself, much better than mine.
Actually the oldest actor to play the Doctor is neither Peter Capaldi nor William Hartnell. That honour belongs to Tom Baker in 50th anniversary special', fairly closely followed by John Hurt in the same episode. I don't remember an outcry by heartbroken teenage girls at the time - or was that only because Matt Smith and David Tennant were in it too?
Going back to the so-called 'Classic Who' era, two of the first three doctors looked like grandfathers and were certainly of that age. Are teenage girls so very different now? I don't think so.

Agreed. If that is his idea of a 'joke' he sounds feeble-minded and very easily amused.

Capaldi looks perfectly fine and looks like he's gonna be a fantastic Doctor.
I pretty much think this statement is wrong.
My ****ing sides.

That's one sweet picture.
That is lovely.

That is just way too cute
