   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.
