Just a big shout out to his first season in charge, immense storytelling, great drama, really uplifted the show.

Yes, I really enjoyed how, for the first time in years, the story arc had a start, middle and end which all made sense and wasn't full of complicated and unresolved questions that had to be debated and worked out amongst us on the forum for the episodes to fully make sense.

It's the start of a new golden age which has united fandom in an astonishing manner never before seen...even the Hinchcliffe era had its critics, but this has been universally acclaimed as flawless Doctor Who. Remarkable! All hail the Chibmeister!!

Grrrr, can't believe we had such an overflated battle between the Cyberwomen and the dinosaurs. Chibnall's ego knows no bounds.

So tired of the oversimplified story arcs and resolutions that are solved by the next week. Bring back the glory days of Moffat and Capaldi!

Aha! So you were one of the two people who didn't vote Excellent or Good in the polls!

My only slight criticism of the series was that '43' could've been a slightly stronger sequel.

Alligators on a steamboat was pretty good though.

Worst episode ever, I could only watch the first 5 minutes before I switched it off. Even worse than last week's worst episode ever.

Bleedin' fanbois enjoying this tosh.

I couldn't watch the latest episode, I stopped watching after 20 seconds so I need to tell you how horrible it was.

Ofcourse there was that good joke at minute 23 but I couldn't watch anymore than that.


The ending was a bit weak as well.

Better than anything Moffat ever did!

The only change when Chris Chibnall takes the reigns of this knackered but majestic old nag will be to change the title.

No longer Doctor Who?

but

Doctor Why?

The Doctor's Dream was one of the most inventive episodes we've ever had.

Even Moffat couldn't have topped that.

Looking forward to Chibnall taking over... that's pretty much all I'm looking forward to with DW, I have no hope for series 10 sadly...

I'm not a big fan of his previous work on DW but I am willing Chibnall on and hope he delivers us some great DW... and that he doesn't become like Moffat who in hindsight was a bad choice to take charge of DW...

Wishing that things will work the opposite way with Chibnall than they did with Moffat.... Moffats work before becoming the showrunner was brilliant (but with some little dodgy things) then his work became bad when getting the job, Chibnall's work before being the showrunner has been a little dull and uninspired (but with some good flourishes) so now he's getting the job lets see his work become really good...

Yeah well I was/am trying to be positive about Chibnall taking over.... I hope the writers room idea does become a thing.... and I'll just be glad that someone else is getting a shot at DW, grown real tired of Moffat's writing...

I think he'll be an excellent showrunner, i think the experience he has in running a successful show will be invaluable. Then his Doctor Who episodes 42 i really enjoyed and it probably had the smallest budget for the season, the Silurian one not as good but he had many external issues in that story. Dinosaurs one of the better S7 stories for me and Power of 3 again had some issues which wouldn't occur if he was the showrunner.

I'm optimistic about him.
