It's been a little over a month since Peter Capaldi was revealed to be inheriting the keys to the TARDIS, and in that time, fans everywhere have had many different reactions. Yes, change is difficult, but in a show that is constantly changing everything about itself (except for the TARDIS, care of the Chameleon Circuit), changing the lead actor is inevitable. Regeneration is possibly the greatest tradition in Doctor Who and definitely the reason the show has continued for fifty years. Peter Capaldi won't be seen on screen until the Christmas Special this year, and he won't even have proper screen time until this time next year. Still, that gives everyone plenty of time to speculate about how his Doctor is going to act, what he's going to wear, how Clara will react to the new face, and whatever other question comes to mind. Now before we tackle the subject of this piece, I have a chart for everyone to see. It's floated around the internet for quite some time and it sums up the Whovian Regeneration cycle.
Many have criticized Capaldi because he's too old, yet he was just one month older than William Hartnell, the First Doctor, was when he was given the role of The Doctor. To all the initial "haters", I want to say this: Think back to when Matt Smith was announced and how you felt about him replacing David Tennant. Didn't you eventually come around to his side? ...Okay, so not everyone did, but that's beside the point. Not everyone is going to like where the series will go, but I, personally, am excited. Capaldi's a brilliant actor and maybe after sharing some points here, people will at least give him a chance. After all, the show must go on. With that said, here are 10 reasons why Peter Capaldi could be the best ever Doctor.
