I just think he will because it's so long between then and now. Capaldi said in an interview his time may be drawing closer to a close anyway. I REALLY don't want him to go but it seems like the Doctors go when the showrunner leaves. Not with Classic Who I guess... I kind of wish they would let Capaldi work on an episode too actually. He's such a huge fan of the classic show that I'd love to see him come up with some stuff for it.

Yeah, that makes sense. I hope he doesn't leave until after Moffat's been gone for a while, I'd love to watch him under a different writer..

On the topic of the 2017 season, isn't Peter Jackson supposed to direct one then?

He might. They did that joke video with Capaldi showing up at Peter Jackson's house and stuff but I don't know if he will do it for the next season or not. That'd be pretty awesome though...

I thought it was confirmed?

It was never confirmed, just hinted at.

We still have one more season with Moffat though and won't get the new guy until 2018...

I'm actually quite looking forward to Moffat's final season, I feel that he's probably gonna go all out on it and the finale will most definitely be one to remember. He isn't gonna let his 'legacy season' be a lackluster one. I just hope that Capaldi sticks around.

I do too. From what I've seen, Capaldi is a GREAT Doctor, he just wasn't written well imo.

why do you say that

Let me rephrase that, he has the POTENTIAL to be a great Doctor. Capaldi is a fantastic actor, and if Moffat weren't the one writing him, he'd be one of my favorites. There's a lot Capaldi brings to the table, acting-wise, he's just underutilized and poorly written.

I just don't like Moffat's way of writing. He tends to try to shake up the status quo of the show for what feels like no real reason (i.e. sonic sunglasses), then gets whiny when it isn't well received.
While Moffat does have some fairly good episodes imo (like The Eleventh Hour, The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang, The Angels Take Manhattan, The Day of the Doctor), it just feels like he has more cons than pros. I'd much rather if someone like Mark Gatiss took up writing on the series.

I like the sonic sunglasses and I'm not a huge fan of Angels Take Manhattan. I also don't like a lot of Mark Gatiss' episodes... So I really disagree with you on that. And I still don't really see what you don't like about Capaldi's writing other than the sunglasses now. And the status quo is meant to be broken, it's Doctor Who. It can do just about anything.

i want the Rani to come back as jeff goldblum

Damn, it looks like Capaldi might be leaving after all...

Yeah... I say we petition! Bring back Jamie!

Maybe they could bring back Jack Harkness as a full time companion. He doesn't have his own show anymore, his actor wants to come back, and the Doctor's currently old enough that he will contrast nicely with Jack's younger appearance.

I can understand your qualms and gripes about Moffat, but thankfully he's apparently leaving after series ten, I believe they already announced a new showrunner, Chris something? I also heard Capaldi was leaving after series 10 but I'm not sure if that's accurate.

Don't know any other place for this, so I'm posting it here.




New Doctor Who Funko Pop confirmed.

Eleven, Ten, or Four because they're all super fun and I'm lame and unoriginal.

very good amv/ trailer

Quote: Carmelita Fox

Wow that's a difficult question. I think maybe 8 because he was just such a great guy and since I only know him from his movie, the minisode, and the audio drama's, I would be able to get to know him better.

So i just rewatched Heaven Sent, and I'm still confused with what happened at the end (obvious spoilers below):





Also, more new Doctor Who Funko Pops:








(Sorry for the 3 month bump by the way)

Double post, but this is important.

If you're in the US, today theaters are playing the animated version of Power of the Daleks (the Second Doctor's first story). If you click this link, hit change location, and put your zipped in, you can find out which terriers near you are playing it.

But if you miss it today and have BBC America, it will air then on November 19th.

I'm going to be at the showing in St. Louis today.

I saw it. It was pretty good. Some of the animation is a little iffy, like a hand moving in a physically impossible way and Ben's face in it... Ben looked creepy. But otherwise, the story was fantastic.

It was amazing, but there were some people in the theater I wish weren't there, because they'd laugh at literally nothing. The Doctor said fit once, so then for the next minute and a half the dumbness were just repeating "Fruit!" "FRUIT!!!!!!" "FRUIT! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!"

Did anyone else notice some nice mess-ups, like how Ben's pocket messed up once and just kind of started scrolling along the screen?

Is it just me or does it seem like they don't know how to animate walking really well? At times the characters just kind of bobbed up and down across the screen.

Yeah I noticed the walking was kind of weird. I know they only had 6 months to make this and it was a pretty large project. I laughed at the fruit line a little bit but the giggling ended really fast after that. I was with one other person and a guy on the ground had his hand laying really weird. The person I was with was trying to imitate how the hand was and we broke out in laughter at that for a few seconds. I had a pretty good time, though there were maybe 20 people there tops.

The christmas special hasn't aired here yet, but I'm looking forward to it.

Series 10 will be airing on April 15th, and (kind of a big spoiler?)

Spoiler



EDIT:

I very much doubt the Doctor will EVER be played by the same actor more than once on a regular basis. Maybe Big Finish... I think Paul McGann would be great for an episode where he comes back by way of time travel. The current Doctor runs into 8 and has to pretend he isn't the Doctor or hide from him. Or a multi-Doctor story with him...

Matt Ryan would be a great doctor tbh

I'm reeeeally glad Moffat's leaving, while 11 was my first and favorite Doctor (Next to 10 and 8) Moffat really ****ed things up and I kept trying to lie to myself that I liked series 8-9 but god did I hate the writing for Capaldi's run, Moffat did well with his first series imo but after that it was like k but why (Although Matt's exit is the best thing in Doctor Who ever so)

I don't know how to feel about them bringing on Chris Chibnall cuz I hated every episode he wrote and that makes me super scared cuz I just thought they were suuuuper boring and not fun, they should've got someone from Davies run or hired someone who hadn't done Doctor Who yet or maybe someone who wrote hit episodes, but I'll stay optimistic. I just reeeallly hope we get a new show feel, like it's obvious what a Davies episode is and a Moffat episode is, I'm hoping we can tell the difference between a Moffat and a Chibnall

i just want fans to stop hating the show, I see a lot of hate on how it's not good anymore and i want them to stop feeling that way cuz I kinda agree with them. I remember crying when I almost missed Matt's last episode and then series 8 came out and sometimes I wouldn't watch for weeks, we need the magic back.

I was also one of the people who hated Clarawho and Clara in general with Capaldi, she was so generic and it seemed she was just there to please feminists at times but maybe I'm reading into it.

Anyways I'm super excited to find out who the next Doctor is, my candidates are Matt Ryan, Tom Felton (But I feel that'd seem like it's pandering to a younger female audience cuz sex appeal), and maybe Tom Hiddleston
(Or Karl Pilkington, bonus points if you know who that is without looking it up)

John Simms is returning as the master for series 10, maybe as a regeneration somehow or something a la The Curator but I could not be more excited about this.

To me it seems like fans of the show complain more about people who absolutely hate the show with a burning passion. I've seen a couple people on youtube comments under the traillers and on Doctor who Fansites getting so upset over a minor redesign of the "Pull to Open" panel on the door. I didn't even notice there was any difference, but these people were so upset by it. They didn't seem to be joking either, just "I HATE this new TARDIS. Moffat needs to stop messing with small details!!11!!!!" and of course how "Missy is the worst Master ever and needs to regenerate back into a man immediately," and other stupid complaints. And of course "Bill is the worst companion ever, I hate her already," even though not a single episode with her has aired yet. It seems like no matter what happens, fans will complain about it, even if it's as minor as a font change on a door.


Only 8 days until the new series airs, I hope it will be even better than the last one.

The main reason I didn't enjoy the show as much recently is because I just really really disliked Clara. But the newest episode was great and I like Bill.

Also has anyone watched Class? I love it and even got to meet two of the main cast members

Series 8, I hated it from the start, it never felt like Doctor Who.
Series 9, I tried to convince myself so hard I liked it...
Series 10.........From the very first second...


Also it's not 100% confirmed but apparently our 13 is

In the word's of The Doctor, and I'm paraphrasing of course; I don't want him to go...

been watching series 10. i was originally apprehensive about this series but i've been pleasantly surprised so far. bill is very likeable, it's good to have a companion who asks a lot of questions.

Major spoilers if you haven't seen the latest episode or haven't been keeping up with any sort of Doctor Who news.

Don't watch the show, but I don't see much issue with this. Reading the comments makes me confused...

I haven't watched Doctor Who in years. I might've stopped after the 10th Doctor left Rose with a clone of himself to age. I did see one episode with the 11th Doctor when he and his crew were trapped in a weird hotel place that manifests their fears, I think before his lady friend was left back on Earth.
