FAVORITE TELEVISION EPISODES: The Girl Who Waited (Doctor Who)

Like... I feel that we as an audience take video essayists like hbomberguy too much at their word and default to them when it comes to explaining our feelings on something. This isn't to send hate towards him but rather... healthy skepticism. It's clear that his now infamous essay has colored many people's opinions on the show but I find myself asking, "Well... why did we like what was 'garbage' to begin with?"

Because, well, nothing gets popular without some good reason. However much one thinks Series 4 dropped the ball, Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat had struck gold here. What about it was good enough to invest so much time into it? How good was it that the finale soured everyone before any essayists could?

I don't want to outsource my thinking for this. I wanna share my thoughts along with you if you are willing.

He wrote an entire season that still was about Clara and 12, but she wasn't in it except for maybe 10 minutes at the end of the last episode, be it in his memories or visually.
