re: #168 Targetpractice
I think the problem I had with Capaldiās run as the Doctor was that the first season he was on felt like I was watching the immediate aftermath of a very messy breakup. But thatās probably because I never really liked the character of Clara. After the whole mystery of her origin was done with in āThe Name of the Doctor,ā it felt like they were just going with momentum until the end of Smithās run.
The problem with Capaldiās doctor is I kept wanting him to be Malcolm Tucker, and he wasnāt.
