UNIT as a nest- I really like that! I wasn’t too keen on Cliff as the love story didn’t felt particularly grounded. I didn’t know Jo was leaving in that episode so I got a bit of a shock when she suddenly did. But I totally buy her engaging in ecology and I’m sure she had a great time in the Amazon. I also didn’t know there wouldn’t be more episode with Delgado!Master, so I was completely convinced he was the bad guy here as I thought the computer laughing sounded just like him.
I agree with the Doctor needing a family. I saw the Classics before New Who started, so I’ve never seen the Doctor as a romantic hero, even if he sometimes has romantic feels. And I think he is nice. He has his darker sides, he doesn’t always save the day and he can be very alien, but he is nice. I can understand why Nine, Ten and Eleven were tortured souls, they did believe they had killed his whole race, but I don’t think this is truly the Doctor’s essential being. Twelve, despite his grumpiness, feel a lot like the older Doctor’s to me, which in part, I believe, is because he doesn’t have to be a tortured soul anymore and he feels a lot like the classic Doctor’s to me.
the most important thing about the Doctor is his capacity to love. To help people & give to them, and let them fly when the time comes, and never to give up on loving again even when his hearts break. I can't speak for anyone else, but I know beyond doubt that my Doctor *is* a good man.

Yes, yes and yes!
