Good. I went right off Matt Smith. Too much rushing around. I'd like this Doctor to be a bit quieter, introspective and drop all the quick dialogue.
There were a few times when he was allowed to be more introspective and he was great. My favourite scene in his whole tenure was the Weeping Angels episode where he comes back to Amy who cannot open her eyes. He was really effective there. As you say, it all got a bit shouty towards the end, but that wasn't really his fault.
I should seriously watch this show.
Oh, I dunno. It might not be worth it. Doctor Who is like Superman. The basic concept is so perfect the stories rarely manage to match it.
If you really want to start though try the Christopher Ecclestone series which was the return in 2005. Dalek was good, the double episode story The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances were good, as were the last two episodes.
An ex-girlfriend of mine became interested in Kabbalah (she was a big Madonna fan) around the time the Doctor returned and she HATED the show with a passion. One evening, after being bored to tears with her wittering about this weird religion I said "Imagine how great it would be to be nearly a thousand years old, and when your body wore out you could get a new one and remember what had gone before." "Oh, my God! That's a lot like Kabbalah!" "No, actually it's Doctor Who..." We lasted about another four months.
A Polish friend of mine loves Doctor Who and when I told her that most Brits have "their" Doctor (mine was the 4th) and he changes into different actors she told me "You English are really, really strange."
Just few minutes ago it was announced.
I'm pleased Peter accepted the offer.
Goodness knows how may times the dr has defeated and seen of stavros! the creater of the darlek race, and yet stavros still keeps on coming back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish I cud be let loose on the DR who story lines - you wud all encounter sum incredible monsters !
Did you use her little red bracelet as a cock ring?

Those bracelets look quite cool... on arms. I'm sure that's most of the attraction.
I don't watch Doctor Who on tv. I prefer watching it on DVD and in a couple of sittings and so watch three hours yesterday. I do hope that the producers keep Jenna Louise Coleman (Clara) on as the Doctor's assistant for another couple of seasons. Clara's character has far more depth than that annoying Amy Pond. Clara is coming across to me as one of the Doctor's better assistants. Jenna is a much better actress too. Jenna reminds me of a young Helena Bonham Carter, and that can only be a good thing.
Yeah, I like Clara more than Amy already- don't think the character's full depth has been properly explored yet though, which is part of why I'm looking forward to the next series so much. It feels like up until the most recent episode she's largely been used as a 'mystery' element or a cipher of sorts so I'm interested to see what they'll do with her character now that the 'Impossible Girl' mystery has (mainly) been solved. Very excited for Peter Capaldi too of course, I love Matt Smith in the role but change is what Doctor Who is all about and it'll be fun to see how he characterises 12.
