To add to Bamboozler - for Nuwho, I'd not overlook the Ninth Doctor (the first season of it), as it does kind of set up the relationship between Ten and Rose later on, as well as establish the concept of "themed" seasons. Also establishes the beginning of the Companion becoming .. a little too important, imo, but at least, more important than before.
It starts getting really bad about mid-Smith (after the couple is done with), and the gay stuff starts coming out in sly little bullshit things; so once Amy and Rory are gone, it's pretty much done.
And I second that opinion on the season with Donna.
As for Old Who, years ago, I found a torrent of the entire og run, complete with screenshots and images of the recordings made of the lost episodes. Some are made into cartoons (and I think that project has gone ahead a bit more since then). It's a huge file, but great for a completist. And you should check out Hartnell .. and definitely The Tenth Planet and how weird the Cybermen used to be.
I fuckin’ love Smith and Clara, dude! Don’t do this to me, lol…
IMHO the Clara eps are better than the last… Season and a half of The Pond Show…
So we sort of agree, but sort of not.
u/Tobeornotto I think both I and Rat agree to skip Capaldi and beyond, though. Which is a shame, because… Jenna Coleman stays hot AF (again, subjective of course), but yeah, re the show quality… That’s about its nadir, unfortunately…
For me, it's a shame that Capaldi - it was great to have an older gentleman as the Doctor again - got saddled with such shit writing that it looks like he was deliberately sabotaged.
And Clara was just too much for me, as far as the "extra special Companion" stuff goes; it's also where the old-school retconning starts.

But but but Clara… 😞

I love that your response pretty much boils down to “Watch it all”… 😛
I could have said that, too, and I did think about it, but I was trying not to, ahaha…
You are right, though. Except re Smith + Clara. I’m not giving you that one, lol. Jenna is just too good, ha.
