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.
