    Major Spoilers Question Of The Day: The Doctor’s Greatest Moment Edition

    Matthew PetersonBy 2 Comments1 Min Read

    With the penultimate episode of Series 9 this weekend (No Spoilers, but: HOLY %$@*, YOU GUYS!!), Peter Capaldi’s Twelfth Doctor has leapt past David Tennant and Jon Pertwee to engage Sixth Doctor Colin Baker for my second favorite Doctor of all time.  (Peter Davison’s Fifth Doctor is still at the top, though a Season 10 as excellent as 9 has been might finally put that top spot in danger.)  Heck, if they can just avoid the romantic overtones with the next companion, I’ll be happy, which leads us to today’s SPOILER REDACTED query…

    The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) has no shortage of great options to choose from, from Ten’s gambit against Davros, to Four’s quest for the Key To Time, to Eleven finally weaponizing the destructive power of regeneration to explosive effect, asking: What triumphant gambit constitutes The Doctor’s greatest moment?

    (If you’re going to reference the latest episode, ‘Heaven Sent’, please be kind about spoilers!)

    Once upon a time, there was a young nerd from the Midwest, who loved Matter-Eater Lad and the McKenzie Brothers... If pop culture were a maze, Matthew would be the Minotaur at its center. Were it a mall, he'd be the Food Court. Were it a parking lot, he’d be the distant Cart Corral where the weird kids gather to smoke, but that’s not important right now... Matthew enjoys body surfing (so long as the bodies are fresh), writing in the third person, and dark-eyed women. Amongst his weaponry are such diverse elements as: Fear! Surprise! Ruthless efficiency! An almost fanatical devotion to pop culture! And a nice red uniform.

      The one that springs to mind from being relatively fresh in my memory is the moment in “Day of The Doctor” when the three Doctors emerged from the painting they had hid inside to bypass the anti-TARDIS safeguards of the tower. There are definitely moments where the Doctor has been more clever, and there are definitely moments where the Doctor was more heroic, but that is one of the best moments of the revived series for me, and possibly even one of the best moments of the entire franchise.

      I’m always a fan of the Seventh Doctor’s talking the enemy to death routine. One that shows how the word is mightier than the sword. Of these his defeat of Light from Ghost Light is my favorite. “File him under: Imagination, Lack there of.”
