MP> Mike I feel bad - I'm a lifelong fan and I didn't watch the latest season. I got pretty burned out during Capaldi's last season (even though I loved him as The Doctor, the show just wasn't keeping me.) Plus, the casting of a female Doctor turned a huge chunk of the fandom so toxic that I lost the urge to watch the show since online discussions were part of the fun. I'll probably catch up on it next month or so if I can find the time. ...
