I haven't looked forward to Doctor Who this much since Jodie was announced. So much promise. Wasted by Chibbers so quickly. And no, I didn't hate Season 11 or the Thirteenth Doctor. The overwhelming feeling was apathy. The show was... blah. Nothing was there to make me want to watch season 12...

Another return for the 60th (I'll spoiler it just in case) I know I'm setting up for disappointment, but I'm kind of excited about post-Chibnall Who.

Never heard of him. And I'm glad. I always hate it when Doctor speculation goes on between the announcements and everyone starts championing big names. I want to see the role of The Doctor make a star, not it be "Oh, look, it's Greg House in a blue box".

1: Honestly, I'd rather there be someone totally new than a retread, myself. If you know your comics, you know that second runs on a character by a creator who had a beloved first run just never measure up for one reason or another. But, if the choice is Chibnall, RTD, or nothing, well, I'll...

I'm kind of looking forward to those spoilers you mentioned. Honestly, I haven't even watched seasons 12 and 13 yet. I have them on Blu, just never felt like watching them. And the spoilers I've read haven't exactly been inspiring. I'll probably catch up in time for the regeneration, though...

I think this is a good move. I think it means the Beeb wants to right the ship instead of letting it sink. I think this might work, especially if people don't go into it expecting it to be 2009 again. Because things have gone wrong for the show. I didn't hate Chibbers' first season. But I...

Yes and No. Peter Cushing's Doctor isn't part of the official lineage, but the movie is about an old guy named The Doctor who drives around in a blue police box that's bigger on the inside and fights Daleks.

I do miss the Call The Midwife/Doctor Who Christmas double bill. However, it looks like we'll be getting CTM/Who on Sundays starting later in January anyway, so it all balances out.

I liked Pting. People would've squeed all over him if he'd faced Tennant. I also wouldn't mind some old villains coming back. A season without the old standbys is what a lot of people had been asking for, well, we've had it, so dredge up Kandyman or something. And yes, I've seen the Judoon...

6 writers, at least. Good. Chibnall did too much last year. Needs to focus on things other than writing every episode. Plus, the returning writers did some of the better episodes of the season.

I don't have a long write up, just one simple comment... This was a really enjoyable episode of Quantum Leap. And, yes, a very good episode of Doctor Who. I feel the episodes have been getting progressively better. That's it.

The whole reason I didn't watch at 1:45 ET yesterday was because I knew BBCA was going to use it as an excuse to cram 45 minutes of commercials into an hour of material. And I was right. Anyway, love Whittaker as the Doctor, the episode was decent.

I hate to see Capaldi go. I'm glad to see Moffat go. It was a great send-off. I've seen plenty of people nitpicking it to death and whining and complaining about trivialities, but it was a great send-off to probably the best Doctor of the new era. He didn't always have the best material to...

Yep. Call The Midwife, for example... Every December the season starts with a Christmas episode that runs about 1 hour, 15 minutes, then the season of 8 episodes at 60 minutes follows later in January. Rinse, repeat. Of course, PBS still hacks them down to 50 minutes for some damn reason that...

She was in one of the rare surviving earlier Troughton serials, Tomb of the Cybermen, which was really her only existing appearance until the recoveries of 2013 and the reconstruction of Ice Warriors. Sad to hear she's gone, but there is a decent chunk of her Doctor Who work out there now.

Eh, it always happens like that. Look at DC Comics and their first Crisis. Superman came out of that as the last Kryptonian. As the years went by, everything from Supergirl to Krypto to Krypton itself were resurrected.

I'm always surprised at how many time travelers there are on the internet who can say without a doubt that things that haven't been filmed or written yet are PC soapbox rubbish. Back here in July 2017, though, us poor folks who travel linearly have only seen a one minute, wordless teaser.

Yeah, given how long Gallifreyans live (I think the Doctor is still 2000-ish), he was a rebellious teenager. As we know now, he looked old, but he was a kid who just stole his parents car and went on a road trip. Ah, but isn't part of the heart of the show plunging into the unknown and seeing...

The entire concept of regeneration is a stunt. It was a desperate stunt pulled by a production team whose lead actor had grown too ill to continue in the role he created, and their stunt saved their jobs and the show. Three years later, they used that stunt to save the show again, this time...

A Doctor usually gets about a three year run. 13 episodes is roughly equal to 26 half hours, which was a season back in the classic days. And they were all usually 4 part serials, so you really only got 5 or 6 stories back then. IMO, it's same as it ever was.

I have to say, I never knew until 13's casting was confirmed that the Doctor's penis was the source of so many people's enjoyment of the show. You really would have thought it would have had a bigger role, or at least a credit in the main titles.

I haven't watched that yet, but they've been basically setting this up since the Smith era when the Corsair was first mentioned. Then the General who regenerated as a woman. And from what I've read the final episode of this past season all but said the Female Doctor was on her way. And even...

The character is an alien that has two hearts, travels in time in a blue box, and has changed every cell in its body 12 times so far.

Doctor Broadchurch Mom? So, does that mean a season of what happened to ?

I'm expecting a woman, which will cause wailing and gnashing of teeth of an epic proportion. Personally, i'd be okay with that. I mean, it's not like Moffat hasn't been preparing everyone for that since 2011 or so.

Yep, the resemblance is that good, if he were agreeable and they could pull him away from Batman Babies for a little while. Anyway, #13 is announced on Sunday. Prepare for the incoming s#!tstorm.

No, Donna was the best of the new series. Definitely the best redhead. Anyway, a Third Doctor crossover would be easy enough to do these days, if he were up for it

Looks like The Doctor may be safe through season 15 http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2017/05/doctor-whos-chinese-expansion-series-15.html Since they renewed Call The Midwife last year through season 9, it wouldn't shock me to see Doctor Who renewed for a few seasons... especially since they've got...

Yes, but the rumor mill kicked into overdrive today about Kris Marshall from Death in Paradise being cast and coming in at the end of the season instead of Christmas. So we'll see.

That's why I can't watch 90% of Matt Smith's run. It literally became the Amy Pond Show (especially if you watched BBC America in season 6), and The Doctor popped up every so often to say "Where's Poochie... er... Amy?!?" when she wasn't onscreen and that was about it. Once the Crimson Horror...
