Doctor Who's 12th Actor Revealed

Yes but in the last series Moffat announced that they weren't doing any more two parters, a good example would be the season finale which is normally always a two parter wasn't.saintdane05 said:
And a lot of the episodes he wrote just tailed of towards the end.The endings in general have been fairly bad:; cybermen defeated by love,Alien from mars changing his mind,power of three,god complex etc and the fact that Matt's screwdriver became a weapon(the end of day of the moon)...
I read this in Malcolm Tucker's voice, and it fit him like a rubber fisting glove.j-e-f-f-e-r-s said:
EDIT: and indeed to celebrate, I have made a pic of it.
Another Doctor named Peter? This is looking good! 
When I first heard the news, I wasn't so concerned that he was older (a plus for me), or a male (I didn't care that much if we had a female Doctor), or that he's already in most people's limited scope of the Whoverse. Frankly, I was more annoyed that they picked this amazing actor who played a brilliant, mesmerizing role in Torchwood's Children of Earth, and that him being the Doctor might diminish his role and that character in CoE. But the thing with the Whoverse is nothing is set in stone and people get brought back all the time. I think I'll really enjoy him as the Doctor. Hope they go for a more fatherly route this time, back to the idea they had in Classic Who.
Although I'd much rather have Moffat leave. I want, more than anything, a new writer/producer for this show because his shit is driving me up the wall.

So we're getting a foul mouth director of communications with facial fuzz that would make Snidley Whiplash proud? I'm down with that. Slap a fez on him, get him some new threads, and hand him the keys to the TARDIS. ;P
In all seriousness, its a shame Matt Smith is leaving the show after 4 years but Peter Capaldi looks to be an interesting choice for the Doctor. I can't wait to see how he handles the role and what awaits him next season.

On that, we can concour. Especially after the spectacular double ball of fail that is The Doctor's Name. Seriously, way to piss on 50 Years of established continuity Moffat.Akichi Daikashima said:
Slightly more ontopic, I'll have to see how it goes, but so long as Moffat remains attached to Doctor Who, I won't be getting my hopes too excited about it. Also, I too was hoping for Idris Elba, but this actor still seems a good choice X3
Well i'm happy with the choice. Hopefully a new doctor will be able to pull the show out of the hole it been falling into.
Then again we still have moffatt in charge.

Day of the Moon took place on regular old Earth. The episode that you were thinking about is "The Wedding of River Song," which was all of time colliding until it would EXPLODE!!!!!!!!11!!!Akichi Daikashima said:
Huh, weird. I thought they had this thing going where each regeneration was younger than the last.
Eh, I feel exactly the same way I felt when David Tennant left and Matt Smith became The Doctor. Like I want to punch his fucking face in and tell him to go fuck himself.
And then I liked Matt Smith, not as much as David Tennant, but the role of The Doctor just really, really fit Tennant.
So anyway, yeah, I'll probably like this guy.

It's comes off like Smith was there to be a fluffy cute person. He seemed more of a background character to the Rory Amy River thing. Which I kind of liked.fix-the-spade said:
The last season though... It seems like Moffat shot his wad. Leaving Smith to pull the weight. Which he couldn't pull off.
Capaldi though... well, he's got range. He's got some history in some famous British shows. And he's Scottish... Which gives him +5 to Sexiness.
Finally an older Doctor! No disrespect to Eccleston, Tennant and Smith, but I was getting tired of the pretty boys that the femake companion could swoon over. I like my Doctor Asexual and Awesome, thankyou very much. As for Capaldi specificall, for what Little I have seen him in he seems well enough. Yeah, this is one fanboy that is not gonna hate.
I thought they were doing something with John Hurt, Tennant, and Smith before the Christmas special... or maybe that is the special... regardless, I'll be watching.
I will say this before he does, he's still not Ginger.
The way it's explained is timelords have to save up regeneration energy before they can do it again. If they're killed too soon after a regen then their dead for good, but they can regen forever as long as they have time to charge up. One more thing, the time needed is different for every timelord and every incarnation of said timelord, or as I like to say "it's in the script". They went to the final doctor's grave but they were careful not to give him a number. They'll keep the Doctor around long after it's popularity runs out and bring him back again in a couple decades.Jandau said:

Pardon me then, it has been some time.Space commando 75 said:
I still stand by my point that Moffatt sucks.
