Jester David
Hero
McGann also had amnesia after his regeneration and it was less... traumatic, being a normal one and not the first of an unknown number.
Smith had to save the Earth without the sonic or TARDIS having recently regenerated. Having Capaldi save the day without his memory would be a heroic deed.
The episode was okay. But I think following so close after the 50th didn't help. The need to add a Christmas tone likely didn't help.
It it will be interesting to see how they present Capaldi.
Smith was an old man in a young body. Capaldi's Doctor will be the oldest Doctor, possibly by a few hundred years. But he's also the first in a new set of regens. So he might feel young despite his apperance.
