I was somewhat amazed by tonight's episode of Doctor Who. Before today, I'd always rated Patrick Troughton and Christopher Eccleston as the best actors among the traditional Doctors (i.e. John Hurt is a special case) with incumbent Capaldi and predecessors David Tennant and Paul McGann not too far behind. After tonight, it's clear to me that Capaldi is second to none. Kudos to Steven Moffat and the whole team making the show. There was a time when the idea of a sequel to an earlier story was something to be dreaded - or, at least, approached with major trepidation. So far this season, they've taken on two (arguably three) of the show's most beloved classics and found ways to build on them while telling unique stories in their own right. The only question I have is how this season's finale can possibly top what's come so far.
