Whos your favorite Doctor?

Third is my favorite. Followed my Fourth and Twelve.

Best companion?

Jaime is the best companion I think the show has had. He had a genuine friendship with the Doctor, but still fulfilled his role as being the audience's stand in to ask questions about what's happening. I love Sarah Jane, Ace, and Donna as well. And Peri was not an amazing character, but she was insanely attractive so I have a soft spot for her.

I think the show has lost a little of the fun now by having every companion be someone from current day UK.

Do you prefer the style of the old series (several shorter episodes covering a single story) or the newer format (one or two longer episodes covering a single story)?

The old style I think worked better, solely because the cliffhangers were always the best part. The loud screech followed by the theme song at the end got me amped to watch the next episode. It does unfortunately mean some stories got spread out very thin in order to fill 4-6 episodes though. But the newer seasons have the opposite problem where they introduce too many characters and too much plot for 45 minutes.

Which Doctor had the best outfit?

The Third Doctor's cape is so good. I don't know what they were thinking in the 80s with the costumes. Twelfth Doctor also I think looks great.

Do you think Jodi Whitaker got shafted with bad episodes?

Yes, but I don't think that's the only issue. I just don't like her portrayal. And it comes down to writing, but also the direction and her personal acting choices. Nearly early every single scene she is out of breath and looks confused. And I get it, they are trying to make it more action packed and exciting. But it reminded me of the JJ Abrams Star Trek movies, where everyone is running at all times, and there is no room for any character moments.

Thirteen also has 0 chemistry with any of the companions, which is again partly writing but also just miscast actors for the roles.

Did Capaldis third season make him significantly more likable?

I think his third season was my least favorite. I like him kind of being a grumpy old man, especially coming off from three younger doctors in a row. Bill was a bit of a nothing character for that season too.
