Didn't take long for me to connect with Capaldi. He was somewhat 'rough around the edges', but by word, what a great Doctor he was. Sometimes you don't appreciate something until it's gone, but Capaldi was last best thing to happen to Dr Who. I still throughly enjoy Deep Breath, and also Mummy on the Orient Express. I suppose Mummy felt like a more McCoyish story from the 1988 period than any other time in the 1980's. Yeah, Flatline is a water mark moment with Capaldi's Doctor. It's atmosphere and dark nature captures everything I like about Capaldi's performance. Capaldi was robbed in the story department, but compare Capaldi's tenure to the monstrous nature of what was to come, I think it's a safe bet that Dr Who and Doctor Twelve was the best place to end a great TV show with a highly commendable performance from Capaldi. Twelve regenerations it is. And forever more........
