Doctor Who Is Lighter and Brighter in Peter Capaldi's Final Season

When every other beloved series is being rebooted, revived or remade, when every mediocre movie spawns a sequel or -- heaven forbid -- a poorly-made franchise, very little of pop culture feels particularly novel or exciting at the moment. With more than 50 years under its belt, Doctor Who should probably be running on fumes, and we should be delirious from breathing them in over the years.

And yet the iconic British sci-fi series somehow manages to make its repetitive nature feel as exciting now as it did during our own first adventure in the TARDIS, whether that was during the show's original run or after Russell T. Davies revived it in its current state in 2005.

The long-running show's greatest and most imaginative asset has always been its ability to reinvent itself by inserting new actors into the roles of Doctor and companion when someone decides to depart the role. And while we should probably be bored or unmoved by watching the same illusion play out again and again after all this time, we're not. There's something beautiful and sweet about watching the Doctor's face light up at the prospect of sharing all of time and space with someone new. There's something oddly comforting about new companions making the same "it's bigger on the inside" comment the first time they step inside the TARDIS' blue doors.
