I'd have put Series 2 in A and then every other series in F purely because of the incredibly high standards Love and Monsters set for every other episode

When I say chibnall knows how to write characters, I mean in other shows he’s done, I acknowledge that 13’s companions are merely planks of wood and plot exposition for the majority of the episodes runtime…

Looks like the unknown editor ain't so unknown anymore

Quality stuff man

Series 9 is my favourite

love you guys

My favourite Is Siries 4, Best of the show its banging, Season 5 and 3 aren't far Behind tho

class!

I don't think Captain Jack was ever meant to be in Vinder's role. Flux started filming in 2020, and all the stuff with Noel Clarke and John Barrowman didn't start coming out until May 2021.

GREAT ranking

What the sigma

Here’s my ranking: 16: Series 12 - imo Orphan 55 and Praxeus are the two worst episodes of the show. And the Timeless Children twist is something I personally don’t like. Has a few good episodes though, Fugitive of the Judoon, Nichola Tesla, Villa Diodati. 15: Series 11 - very baseline mediocre and some pretty faulty writing. A few good episodes though, Rosa, It Takes You Away, Demons of the Punjab. I prefer how this season has no arc. 14: Series 13 (Flux) - Two good episodes, Wheeping Angels and Sontaran episodes. But the narrative is a complete mess so it’s objectively the worst. But I think it has some entertaining value despite it being a mess. 13: Series 7 - Baseline mediocre. Part 1 is better than part 2 though. Not many good episodes and rushed and bizarre half-baked series structure leaves a lot to be desired. Angels Take Manhattan is good though. 12: 2008-09 Specials - Waters of Mars is phenomenal. End of Time Part 2 is pretty good, I love my main man Wilf. Other 3 episodes are among the weakest RTD1 episodes rolled into one. 11: Series 14 - Overall pretty decent season of Doctor Who. Half of the episodes I thought were solid like Devil’s Chord and 73 Yards. Social media episode is good and BOOM. It’s way too short and there is too little character development for my taste. Space Babies and sub par finale also take it down a peg. 10: Series 6 - Pretty enjoyable but messy. Impossible Astronaut, Doctor’s Wife and Girl Who Waited are GOD TIER. Not nearly as good as series 5 simply because of convoluted series arc that doesn’t stick landing but enjoyable season. 9: Series 9 - Really enjoy Under the Lake / Before the Flood. And really like 3 part finale. Girl Who Died / Woman Who Lived / Sleep No More absolutely suck. But Peter Capaldi is growing in the role nicely. 8: Series 8 - Overall pretty consistent and solid series of Doctor Who. Listen and Mummy on the Orient Express is GOATED. Forest of the Night is shit though. Capaldi is a more interesting Doctor (antithesis to 11) right off the bat. 7: 2023 Specials - Doctor Who hasn’t been this good in a while… Star Beast has some flaws but I LOVE Wild Blue Yonder and The Giggle. Returning cast effortlessly fits back in their roles and they work their magic yet again. NPH as Toymaker S tier villain! 6: Series 3 - Unpopular opinion I prefer series 2 but I still love this season. Blink, Human Nature two parter and Utopia are fantastic. Martha ain’t as developed as Rose, which is unfair to say because Rose had 2 seasons but that makes all the difference for me. 5: Series 5 - Magical reboot for the series, nice and fresh. Love the opening episode and the Wheeping Angels. Amy and Rory are great and Matt Smith is at his best in series 5. Some mediocre episodes here and there but not too much to complain about. 4: Series 10 - Unpopular opinion, but Moffat’s best series as show runner. Capaldi is in top form. The Pilot, Smile, Extremis, Oxygen are great. Also, best two part finale Moffat penned for the show. 3: Series 2 - Sue me, but I never understood how this one always ranks relatively low in season rankings. There are only 3 bad episodes (New Earth, Live and Monsters, Fear Her) and the rest is absolutely GOLD. Impossible Planet and Satan Pit S+ tier. Army of Ghosts and Doomsday second best finale for the show. Smart writing and great sci-fi in general just like series 1. 2: Series 1 - absolutely perfect in just about everything. Aliens of London two parter and Bad Wolf is one of the most underrated episodes of the show, and Empty Child, Dalek and Partings of the Ways are all classic. Eccleston was the best and most genuine real Doctor. 1: Series 4 - all the right elements in the right place. Best Doctor companion duo and some of the absolute best episodes in the show’s history. Closest to perfect we’ve ever gotten with this show

The tenth episode of series 9 is Face the Raven not Sleep no More
