I started watching season 11 again in preparation. Since PlutoTV has started streaming all the classic eps on their own DW channel, I've gained a little perspective on how Jodie's Doctor fits within the "spectrum of Doctors", so I get the shift in tone/personality a little more now. Since this is a less flamboyant, less strutting Doctor, it made sense to make up for it with more companions, and higher production values for eye candy.
But at some point Jodie needs to play something other than being wide-eyed and amazed at everything she encounters. She needs to be more commanding and not be afraid to be a stone cold bitch if the situation calls for it. She's The Doctor, not The Nurse.
This is the Word of the Eggs.
