There's plenty of narrative room to extract him from Trenzalore.

Steven Moffat gave an interview in DWM 500 in which he mentioned that when he had ran into Smith recently, Smith had expressed regrets about leaving the show. I am curious about the BF thing, though. Smith said he'd do it if asked, so I can't help to wonder if the reason it hasn't happened yet is BF wants to do 11 and Amy, but can't get Gillan.

Yeah, other than 9, all the modern era doctors have loads of time more or less "built in" where they can be companionless, or have a one-off or audio exclusive companion.

If they can't get Karen Gillan, they'll just have no choice but to pair him up with Frazier Hines.  EDIT - I've seen a lot of licensed products in my time, but nothing will ever match the perfect combination of  and  you get in DWM comics. I hope they never change.

The Titan comics are all shockingly enjoyable and everyone should give them a look. 9-12 have their own monthlies, Eight has a mini in the can, Four is nearly over and they've informally announced a Third and Six mini for 2017.

The_Doctor posted:Because you couldn't set huge swathes of story when she and Rory weren't around? You could write a helluva arc where The Doctor and Rory are setting up the poo poo for A Good Man Goes To War. Preferably with Rory dressed as a Roman Centurion for like 8 stories on various planets and times.  Also Moffat wrote several scenes specifically for Big Finish where it's implied that 11 was off on his own for awhile, allowing you to set years of adventures with new companions in them. The Tales of Trenzalore book alone also only hit the tip of the iceberg of the stories you could tell on that planet over the centuries. I'm imagining that the fine print on the license agreement is that they want a certain number of years to pass (maybe 5?) between the regeneration and that actor appearing on BF. BF themselves may also want to allow a few years for new 10 adventures to be the Big New Exciting Thing on their own before shooting their wad with a concurrent set of 11 adventures. Once David has a lot of stories in an settles into a groove, you then spice it up with the big announcement that Smith is coming.

The current Ten and Eleven comics have new companions, there's always time to insert new stories. Especially with Eleven.

The really clever bit about Trenzalore, though, is that it doesn't matter how much Matt Smith ages.

They already established he can revisit old faces, he can be number Thirteen and not a single person would complain about it. And despite my issues with the man I would love to see Moffat be the one to bring him back.

And despite my issues with the man I would love to see Moffat be the one to bring him back. I really do not want Matt Smith to come back in anything but an anniversary special. I was starting to really dislike the 11th Doctor by Series 7, and only since he left I've grown to appreciate him more. E: also having an actor who already played the Doctor to come back as a regular new incarnation would be really stupid, despite the Curator being cool

Yeah, I think Matt Smith left too early, because I think that he, personally, still had a lot of places to take the part, but the writers were generally cocking up 11 from A Christmas Carol onwards, and it'd be really weird and contrived to bring him back again. Big Finish, though - gently caress yes. The only thing I'd want more is Eccleston back, but that'll never happen.

Matt Smith was the best Doctor of the modern era, despite the fact that I liked David Tennant's seasons more. Matt Smith got some really bad material to work with, but he usually nailed it. I still wouldn't want him to come back though. Peter Capaldi is really hitting his stride and bringing back Matt Smith is an insult to him. It basically is saying "We messed up. Matt Smith messed up. Please forget about the last three years."

It would be perfectly fin if Capaldi left of his own free will.

Never quite got the goon love for Matt Smith. I don't think his dramatic scenes were quite as good as they're painted here, though he was pretty decent at physical comedies. I mean, I still think he was a fine doctor, but it almost feels like the users on these forums overcompensated to respond to all the people crying to have Tennant back.

Having a Big Finish app has really put my finances in grave peril. I used to be too lazy to buy too many audios because I sync my phone to my PC as little as possible (iTunes on Windows is still lukewarm garbage). Things like War Doctor and 10s return were exceptions that I worked with. Now with one-touch downloading and perfect playback and position memory....I've bought at least a dozen audios in the last two weeks alone!

As always there were probably a significant number of people here who thought Smith wasn't as good as others - I certainly recall people having a lot of negative things to say, though generally the negative focus tended to be more on Moffat than Smith. But all Doctors have their detractors and their defenders, it was the same for Tennant and Eccleston and McGann et al going all the way back to Troughton (William Hartnell was perfect  ).The Doctor is, as always, splendid chaps. All of him.

I think it would be cool to have a two-doctor episode where Capaldi meets up with Smith and does the smug "oh man you have no idea what's going to happen to you" with him because he assumes it's his past self, but then at the end he regenerates into Smith and it turns out it was actually his future self the whole time. Making him regenerate into Smith again would he trivial to hand wave away, have him be kidnapped by a rogue time lord for an experiment or something.

Eccleston is today's guest on NPR's Fresh Air. I caught a bit of it driving home for lunch and he was in full rant about how Britain no longer supports working class actors, and how Brexit was the biggest fuckup imaginable. It was pretty glorious, I definitely want to listen to the whole interview once they post the podcast version.
