And people wonder why he is so hesitant to say anything.

“On the other hand, it’s strange to watch him approach these questions with such extreme caution.”

I’m not sure the point you’re trying to make. Your first paragraph is saying, “Ewww, not there”. But your second paragraph suggests it’s all the same sort of thing and isn’t it silly to have a hang up about one thing and not the other.

I’m the opposite. The direction that the story was headed after TFA was predictable, boring. Now, there’s a lot more uncertainty about what the next story will be, which is far more exciting than the hinted eventual redemption of Ren, etc.

I feel like the only person in the world who loved finding out that Snoke was a maguffin. I think it’s hilarious and delightful.

the joke is it’s totally meta, the doctor can’t really be sexist as an thousand years alien from another planet, but the writers from the 60's era were (wink wink). 4th wall breaking and all that.

The ring falling off the 13th Doctor’s finger was a very nice, subtle allusion to the first regeneration. In “Power of the Daleks”, episode 1, companion Ben insists the 2nd Doctor is not the Doctor because the ring he always wore no longer fits his finger; to which Doctor #2 replies “I should like to see a butterfly…

Clara and Rose are the two companions that seem superficially very popular, but who have always alluded me a little. I liked Clara okay, but kind of think she deserved some consequences for her recklessness, not her own TARDIS. Rose getting her own ready-made Doctor also seemed to cross a line for me. So the…

I am not a huge fan of the romantic undercurrents they have brought into the rebooted show but I think that may be because I was an obsessive fan going back to the Tom Baker days. Nevertheless, I suppose I would like it better if they didn’t seem to have this undercurrent with EVERY companion. Part of why I liked the…

Doctor Who as a whole really could’ve benefited from one less season with Clara and one more season with Bill.

I’m not saying I didn’t enjoy the digs (especially Capaldi being 1's nurse), but it did make it feel a little like we were watching a modern Who take on a historical figure that slightly romanticizes & pokes fun at the person in question simultaneously - in the same vein as Churchill, Shakespeare or Queen Victoria…

The most important moment in this whole story, and arguably the entire Who canon, is so beautifully underplayed that I only caught it the second time I watched.

*fills in the ‘Blaming Stephen Moffat for things future showrunners have written’ square in my Doctor Who Bingo card*

I didn’t see this one as lacking plot... well, I suppose it did... but what it lacked in plot, it still made up for in story, if you get what I’m saying?

The Dalek Invasion of Earth, addressed to Susan.

You get that Chris Chibnall wrote Jodie Whittaker’s scene, yeah?

The smile on Capaldi’s face when he sees Clara. Just, perfect.

For the most part, I was totally onboard with the show lampshading the First Doctor’s casual sexism

Fair warning this is quite a long response

Actually I think Johnson was an amazing storyteller in this regard.
