My personal shortlist of people I want to see as The Doctor: Idris Elba Chiwetel Ejiofor Richard Ayoade Rupert Grint Tilda Swinton Emma Watson Stephen Fry Bill Bailey (None of these are going to happen)

Hey, if it's Rupert Grint, the Doctor finally gets to be ginger!

I support Idris Elba for Bond simply because I have yet to be convinced that Idris Elba isn't actually James Bond IRL.

Putting the OLD under John Hurt is just mean.

marktheando posted:That's all true, but the numbering of the Doctors isn't something they haven't mentioned- there are lots of references to nine, ten and eleven being the ninth, tenth and eleventh Doctors. This 'he betrayed the name of the Doctor so he doesn't count' poo poo is just a clumsy retcon. No, it's not. It's a big thematic point about the Doctor and about the character that has been clearly being built up to for a while. All the stuff in the past about Doctor becoming the word for warrior, and 11 trying to tone it down, is clearly leading up to this, an examination of who the Doctor is beyond his name. It's brilliant.

I thought The Last Day was pretty okay - nothing groundbreaking or even great, but a fun bit of tone-setting. I think it just looks bad because it came after Night of the Doctor, and anything coming after that would look bad.

Sonance posted:I wouldn't mind having Richard Curtis as show runner for a few years. I guess it depends on how highly invested he is in his movie directing career. I wish they'd revive the script editor/head producer model. Moffat would be great if his sole area of responsibility was the writing, but the production side has been a mess.

moths posted:Do other spoiler threads get this pessimism shaming when a turd's on the horizon? You just earnestly used (and possibly created) the phrase "pessimism shaming." Perhaps it's time to step back from the computer and reevaluate what you're doing.
