Just came out. Posting thoughts next comment to be considerate, even though they're not really spoilery.

Yes, please. Now, please.

No coherent thoughts, really. So excited.

So yeah. If I was looking for anything in particular to spark my interest again. That was not it.

Clara: I don't know who the Doctor is anymore!

Girl, you never knew who he was. You sort of crushed on him but as a friend/maybe? For half a season. Heck, I still don't really know who you are.

Also, the Doctor is over 2000 now, continuing Moffat's love for super huge age gaps. Still don't know whether he thinks it makes things dramatic (10 spent an entire year moping for Rose? Well 11 spent 200 YEARS moping for the Ponds!) or whether he thinks his Doctors are more important that way, and either way I don't care.

More vague stuff about darkness. Oooooooh~~ *waggles fingers and makes ghost noises* How original. (Not.)

Also Daleks. (yawn) Pasternost gang. (yawn) Explosions. (yawn)

The T-Rex is pretty cool though.

Daleks again. I love Doctor Who and some of my favorite stories are the Dalek ones, I even loved "The Chase", but I wish they'd give them a rest for a few seasons now. I know there was that deal with the Terry Nation estate that says they have to show up once a season or the BBC loses the rights again, but I think they should call that bluff. Its not like the Daleks have their own franchise to fall back on.

Honestly, I get the impression that it doesn't even matter what happens in the next season to a lot of fans. It's predetermined that they're going to hate it, because they want to hate it, because Moffat is still writing it. It could be a magical combination of the best of the Hinchcliffe era and the most beloved RTD seasons and people would still despise it. It's completely ridiculous.

Not that Moffat's perfect, but the volume of the negativity is completely insane. But I guess that's just Doctor Who fandom. Full of hate.

+1

I'm actually glad Moffat is now looking at handing it over to Overman, not because I think Moffat has been a bad showrunner (quite the opposite, he has taken the show to undiscovered heights) or a bad writer (hated what RTD did to Donna and Martha, and nothing has topped Dobby the House Doctor for appalling character assassination), but simply because I want to be free of the Moffat haters.

I do think that when its handed over, the first story should be in the Scottish borders where Moffat got his name with the Doctor saying how much he loves that town, just as a cheeky FU to the anti-Moffs.

Wait, is this for real? When did he say that? (da)

Links? (Oh, please don't get my hopes up.)

That's exactly what I thought too. This fandom can never be pleased again, and I discovered it's just better to enjoy things alone than join fandoms, honestly, especially this one.

(Also not that I'm saying Moffat is a saint or anything, he is a dick, but it wouldn't kill you to admit you like something he did if you truly think it was good).

Pretty much. I mean, I don't even care about people not liking Moffat. But it has gotten to the point where they are making it out as if their opinion on him is objectively right and the only one a "real fan" could possibly have. And getting in the way of other people enjoying Moffat's Who.

My heart skipped a beat when Capaldi showed up. /facepalm

I cannot fucking wait, I'm counting the days for this. But I hate the Daleks, darn it. -_-

For a second I thought I saw Garrus from Mass Effect at about 0:28. :P

Other than that, I feel kind of... eh. So far nothing about this season has really caught my interest.

would be looking forward to capaldi if it wasn't for the fact that clara is still in it. please for god's sake get rid of her and replace her with a decent, believable sidekick that actually has chemistry with other characters. ugh.

I think she's going to work with Capaldi, though. Already in this trailer I like her better with him than with Smith.

I was able to watch one and half a season with Amy fucking Pond, I think I'll be fine with her. At least this one can actually act and isn't a class A bitch.

Wow. No. And no need to take it to that level.

Relax, anon, I only had a different opinion than yours.

There is different opinion and then there is calling her a bitch. Not called for at all.

Her character, not the actress herself. I can't deny that she was, though.

I adored amy and can't bear Clara but eh.

Only here for the love of Capaldi.

And Tom Riley in ep 4.

Damn, that's really sad. I watched it and felt nothing. No excitement, no intrigue, just... "Oh, okay."

I don't LIKE disliking the direction Moffat's taken it in, I WANT to be excited and happy about Doctor Who! I just... can't.

During the break between series I started watching Classic Doctor Who and now I could not give a shit about whatever it is Moffat's going to do, because now everything is The Brain of Morbius and The Macra Terror.
