    Default Re: Would You Be My New Best Friends? (Doctor Who redux)

    My ranking. Keep in mind the only one I thought was actually bad was Arachnids in the UK.

    1. It Takes You Away - Cemented Jodie's Doctor in my eyes.
    2. Rosa - A one episode primer for what sets Doctor Who apart from all other sci-fi.
    3. Demons of the Punjab - Mature themes, great history, and Yaz actually doing things!
    4. The Witchfinders - Can... can we get more Alan Comming [sic] in literally everything?
    5. The Woman Who Fell to Earth - Automatic top 5 for the inaugural outing.
    6. The Tsuranga Conundrum - The Pting is awesome, fight me.
    7. Kerblam! - Fantastic setup, but did not stick the landing at all.
    8. The Battle of Wherever - Stop trying to make the Stenza happen.
    9. The Ghost Monument - Decent setup but ended up just being boring overall, especially compared to later episodes.
    10. Arachnids in the UK - Just poorly thought out.

    Yes, this. Easily.

    I wonder if the Doctor's internal monologues get like this? Past incarnations getting all Shakespearean with each other

    Great find!
