But I thought Smith was confirmed through season 8?

What, like Billie Piper was for series 3?

Ah well. Always better to leave them wanting more than outstay your welcome, right? Right?

JLC was confirmed - proper, like - a few weeks back.

I hope Stephen Mangan is just trolling/having a laugh/whatever, I really don't fancy the idea of him as The Doctor at all. River and him in the same quadrant together would probably cause some kind of Annoying Smug Shite singularity.

No, Barry. There's no good news now. None. Good news is over.

So according to The Sunday Telegraph says that Rory Kinnear has been offered the part. But isn't the telegraph one of those make poo poo up places?

The Telegraph is poo poo but that's more in terms of viewpoints and political leanings. As far as actual news goes, it's not really in the same league as the Sun/Mail/Express for outright making poo poo up for fluff entertainment stories so who knows. I can't imagine for a moment though that Rory Kinnear is seriously going to be the next Doctor though, he's just...acting wallpaper, innit? There's no spark, no buzz there.

^^ Totes.

Wow, Tennant looks old in that poster. Well, not *old right now* exactly but very much on the cusp of it like the skin on his face is going to wake up soon, get a kicking from middle age and just fall down to his knees in a jowly, saggy mess.

Possibly.

Erk, I hope those spoilers from last night are just a bunch of wild guesses based on a sneaky glance at the synopsis because that sounds like a hell of a lame way to end Matt's run...

You're saying Ron Moore, that no-talent hack, the man that nearly ruined Star Trek, is doing a better job than Moffat? Man, you crazy

Oh wow, an actual crazy person.

A loving cardigan? That's it, Moffat has finally gone too far, there can be no forgiveness for him this time.

While I dig the 'no frills, no scarf' attitude, that outfit reeks of your dad spending his Primark vouchers.

So the first episode is hot garbage.

To be fair, 90% of Who, classic or revival, is hot steaming garbage. It's the brilliant core concept and the 10% of it that's good/great that makes people bother at all.

Oh RIGHT. God drat do I need to watch that again. And again and again. Also, frankly, I'd prefer the master not have to mask sexual subtext in heteronormativity, but oh well, Moffat I guess.

V yup. Moffat is a fucker and a piece of poo poo, if this is the thinking behind this (it likely is)

Hahaha, thought crime now, is it? You guys are loving lunatics, you do know that right? There's enough things to be annoyed with him and take him to task over than to start making up hypotheticals which you can never hope to know the answer to.

I hope the next episode is so bad it literally gives Piror Marcus an aneurysm. It'd be Moffat's crowning achievement.

How about those of us who want to go back to the time when the show was actually consistently good (aka "The Holmes/Hinchcliffe Era")? :v:

Bullshit, it's never been consistently good. It's been 80% garbage for 50 years and you're a liar or a fool to say otherwise.

I hope next season the two-parters go full 60s Batman. THE MASTER MAKES HER PLAY / THE DOCTOR SAVES THE DAY

Alternatively, that sounds like a perfect Avengers-style episode summary. In fact the next series after should start every story with Missy loving about with something (carving terrifying giant faces into moons, siccing chair monsters on people, starting a Gallifreyan new wave band) to stave off her boredom only to find a note hidden away or a sudden phone call from The Doctor saying "we're needed", leading to much larks and japes.

Yeah, he's real good on the new Crystal Maze, but I don't think he has the range as an actor to do much beyond the quirky, anti-social snarking, which is a part of the Doctor, but not the whole.

To be honest, that's similar (in terms of limited range) how I felt 30 years ago when Sylvester McCoy got it but he turned out fine.
