I actually felt that the 11th Doctor was a little bit too ornery at first. Can't wait to see what they have planned.

Probably an unpopular opinion but I never really liked Smith all that much and I'm glad to see him gone, especially replaced by MALCOLM FUCKING TUCKER. I can't wait.

Apparently Capaldi used to be in a punk band with Craig Ferguson called "The Bastards From Hell," so he's got that going for him.

Same.

Watched all of 9's episodes, stopped somewhere at 10's, never saw 11's episodes, but 12 makes me want to pick up where I left off.

I also stopped during Tenant's run- pretty much after Rose left. Rose <3 !

I liked Tenant just fine, and from the couple of Matt Smith episodes I've seen he seems just fine as well. I just don't really have time for TV in my life- I tend to prefer active entertainment these days as opposed to passive stuff like watching shows/movies.

Smith came across well in the first season or so because of the supporting cast and better writing compared to the awful, awful last season of Tennant's run. But this past season of Doctor Who was pretty boring, and while Tennant made his slumming it final episodes somewhat entertaining by being so darn charming, Smith couldn't do anything for his.

Is the companion getting switched up along with Smith? Clara and the teaser for the 50th anniversary were the best part of the last season.

boooo

Smith has been mostly great, with his peaks definitely at the end of his first series. Series 6 and 7 were mostly hit or miss mostly because Moffat has become a pretty bad writer when it comes to plot arcs. But Smith really shines on one offs, and especially when he has to convey his age and ultimately his anger. He plays a much better dark/angry Doctor than Tennant ever could.

Really though, I'd recommend those of you in this thread who haven't watched any of 11 to pick up straight from his first episode, The Eleventh Hour. The series is nigh fucking perfect other than a stretch of episodes 6-9. Vincent and the Doctor is one of the best and most heartwarming episodes of modern TV.

It's this last series that has made people lukewarm to Smith, but I attribute that to pretty piss poor writing. He's still a wonderful Doctor, and I like him more than Tennant by far.

Clara is staying with Capaldi as the 12th.

Also, you pretty much summed up what I was trying to say. Smith's last moments (at least so far) have been no where near as entertaining as Tennants...but I'm sure the 50th will fix that.

DCharlieJP · « **Reply #23 on:** August 04, 2013, 05:53:32 PM »

Lol at that video - SKINNY UGLY! Good lord... like.... pretty much every doctor who recently? Smith looks like a brother and sister produced plastic baby thing.

But huzzah - i've not watched Dr Who since Christopher Eccleston but this could well be amazing.

I mean - Capaldi has some top swears and insults but he can really really act and if the new Dr is based around the fact that he's genuinely capable of being fucking terrifying then this could be quite something.

cool breeze · « **Reply #24 on:** August 04, 2013, 05:53:43 PM »

getting excited for it, then.

people were calling for Tucker way back when Tennant was leaving. Johnson from Peep Show was the other choice choice.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #25 on:** August 04, 2013, 05:57:07 PM »

just an FYI, the actor's name is actually Peter Capaldi – not malcolm tucker. that was the character capaldi played in the thick of it

Uh DC, the 9th-11th doctors were pretty good looking, by white guy standards at least. I wonder how Capaldi will look all hairsprayed.

I love that Capaldi wrote a letter to the BBC in 1988 when he was 15 years old about the forthcoming 25th Anniversary of Doctor Who.

Must have had a TARDIS all along considering he was 30 in 1988.

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #31 on:** August 04, 2013, 07:55:25 PM »

Explanation:

Quote

He urged the show's producers to make another "Special" in 15 years time to celebrate 25 years of "wandering in time with the Doctor".

When he was 15, he asked them to make another Doctor Who special in 15 years. Kinda of a weird request, but you know, we've all written things we weren't proud of at 15.

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #32 on:** August 04, 2013, 08:15:48 PM »

I approve.

It was about time they brought someone older.

Now here's hoping they restrain the character's forced quirkiness in favor of some believable sternness to balance him out, stop chasing after the hipster demographic (fashion/casting), stop positioning the doctor as this god-like figure and the center of the universe (shouldn't he be the curious traveler?), and increase the self-contained episodes and/or shorter arcs. I'd like to see more sense of adventure and wonder over shallow drama and sentimental value. Basically I'd like to see the show go back to being appealing to a wide audience than focusing on on a very specific one.

Now, a simple change of the Doctor won't necessarily bring all these changes if any, but a clean slate is a good starting point.

Groogrux · « **Reply #33 on:** August 04, 2013, 11:47:13 PM »

I was just getting used to Smith. Even though he has had a longer run at it than Tennant, it seems like it was very shortly lived.

The thing I liked about him was that he brought back some of the old-school personality of the Doctor. Just being goofy with a hint of seriousness all while trying to save the galaxy.

I can't wait to see what Capaldi brings to the table though.

Himu · « **Reply #34 on:** August 04, 2013, 11:51:12 PM »

Groogrux · « **Reply #35 on:** August 04, 2013, 11:53:59 PM »

A lot of people felt that way. I can't say that I particularly blame them, although I do think a lot of the problem was with the writers. Amy Pond's storyline went on way too long and I think they've had a hard time coming back from that.

Himu · « **Reply #36 on:** August 04, 2013, 11:59:38 PM »

The best part of the Smith run is that increased production budget: a new logo, really nice vignettes, much better direction and cameras techniques that feel more cinematic. In prior seasons, Doctor Who, from the reboot on felt very...cheap. Compare the first episode with Smith to any prior season and it's night and day in terms of production, cinematography, lighting, set design;etc. It doesn't feel so cheap anymore. Too bad it's got Smith in it.

Tasty · « **Reply #37 on:** August 05, 2013, 12:04:24 AM »

I can't abide the Smith hate. He was amazing, especially in s5. s6 and 7 were pretty weak though, but Smith was always the bright spot.

It doesn't help that Amy Pond is probably one of the worst companions ever.

And unlike most people I think the companion makes the Doctor.

Yeah the Clara storyline has been a bore

Amy/River storyline was a bit out there, but I enjoyed it. Probably should have ended with the final reveal and then moved on. The show misses Rory a lot.

I want a return to the menacing Doctor that Eccleston had.
