Number of episodes for each successive Doctor to win me over after Eccleston…
Tennant: 1
Smith: 4
Capaldi: 30
Whittaker: <1
Gatwa: <1
Like Whittaker before him, Gatwa has won me over before actually fully helming an episode of his own. Impressive, given how devastated I was the first time Tennant went away. I’m gutted this time too… but it was a much, much, much kinder, gentler goodbye.
The latest Doctor Who, “The Giggle,” is brilliant, but watching it was hard. Losing Tennant as the Doctor again… is a lot. But it was kind and generous and fixed things that had been left broken.
I would like to see the Meep face off with Baby Yoda.
