News RUMOR: Whittaker potentially leaving

I wouldn't hold my breath.
I am not sure it did. Only credit I can give is first Asian companion. Everything else is pretty much par for the course for NuWho, which is only a little above classic who.
We saw Time Lord God’s last season. I mean he pulled the idea from th NAs, but there we go.
Sorry. I meant behind the camera.
Behind the camera requires more knowledge than most of us have. Verity Lambert and Waris Hussein are well known from the Before Times after all. As to writers, BBC execs have had a tight hold on that for years, otherwise I reckon we would have had Kate Orman, Lloyd Rose, Jac Rayner and Una McCormack as ‘women writing Who’ yonks ago.
But yeah, I could give it for behind the camera, without having to have Andrew Pixley in my head.
Edit: otherwise there’s more on screen diversity in Robots of Death than Orphan 55.
Wouldn't be the first time. Happened to Peter Davison, too.
I mean Capaldi's final season was my favourite of his. I'm hoping the truncation in the number of episodes coupled with a linked storyline may help.
Not that I want 6 episode seasons to be a thing, but I suspect we've seen the last of 13 episode seasons. I reckon in future we're looking 8-10
I second that.
I always prefered Davison's second year, myself. With the exception of King's Demons, I liked all of the stories wherein. And if you include The Five Doctors, that's one heck of a season.
Davison's third has Caves and Planet of Fire, and the rest ranges with alright to awful. The Twin Dilemma's here, too.
Capaldi's second and third are very close. The third has my favorite iteration of the Twelfth - a University Professor that everyone's agreed is sorta ageless. I love that concept. But the second year isprobably stronger.

Thirded. The break seemed to rejuvenate Moff’s writing
Capaldi's final season was by far his best (although his second season had some strong stories, too). A combination of the break seemingly rejuvenating Moffat's writing and the presence of Bill Potts, one of the best modern companions, and Nardole, who is just wonderfully goofy, helped a lot.
The third Capaldi series had the benefit of two things - an ACTUAL "let's run with the 'you're just going to keep me?'" idea RTD teased of the Doctor locking up the Master and how that might play out... and no Clara baggage. Clara was great, but her story was played out as she was (BF are surely planning some Clara/Me audios, if they haven't already done them - I don't follow the audios or I would have no time in the day). She really wouldn't have accepted the Doctor trying to redeem Missy.
Edit: And Bill's great, too.

If they cast Coleman as Young Queen Victoria, in a future episode, that will mean that old Victoria from season 2, was Old Clara, and she was messing with the Doctor and Rose.
That's how I feel. The Monk-Slump in the middle did a lot of damage my impression of the tenth season overall. Though a big part of that is probably that it was a three-parter. "Extremis" was excellent, and "Pyramid" was pretty good, but "Lie" just dragged the whole thing down in a way that the one really bad episode of season 9, "Sleep No More," didn't, as it was helpfully isolated from the ongoing plots and two-part stories of the rest of the season.
I agree that trilogy was rough as a whole and Moffat obviously forced three episodes together as one storyline. I prefer to think it ends with "Extremis" (because it stands on its own very well) and just skip the following two. Which is a shame because Toby Whithouse is usually one of the best writers on the show but his episode was terrible, which leaves me to wonder how much of it was his original idea and how much of it was mandated to fit the trilogy.
Wasn’t it originally supposed to be the cybermen? Before that bit moved to the finale.
Maybe? I don't remember the details, only just that Moffat saw the "potential" of linking the three individual stories into one trilogy and had the writers rework there scripts accordingly.
There was leaked design work, and I think the monks still look like cybermen. Nude ones. Makes sense I think.
For which episode?
