Let's hope this was a passing thought to answer an interview question and not an idea that will percolate:

She better loving not come back, I found her character infuriating.

This is a chance for them to purge all of the poo poo that Moffat foolishly introduced during Matts era as the Doctor. To allow this particular cancer back would be unfortunate at the least for the show. No more Moffucking.

Does ANYONE like Vastra, Strax and Jenny? Is there anyone except Moffat himself who wants to see them back?

I actually really like Strax, he's pretty good for some light comic relief. The other two I couldn't care less about.

Supposedly we're getting a Capaldi costume reveal today. The words "Victorian" and "charcoal" have been thrown around, no idea if that's gonna be accurate or not.

I hope so. I kind of hope that they'll go with a style similar to Matt Smith series 7 onwards, specifically the 'The Snowmen/Time of the Doctor' outfit, that had a pretty good Victorian feel to it. And watching the post regeneration scene with Capaldi again, the outfit actually suits him - it'll need some minor personalisation tweaks of course.

Sans bowtie of course.

I quite like that, kind of what I was expecting. It'll be interesting to see how this evolves throughout his tenure as the Doctor, and where the cloak is hidden.

I was thinking the same, looking at the photo a bit closer, it looks like he's got a really long collar which looks a bit odd without anything else, so I'm thinking maybe they've omitted a few parts of the costume (like a tie) so on his first episode we'll have a little surprise with a fuller, more decorated costume.

Man, that run makes me think Capaldi's doctor is going to be a lot of fun.

The only one that really has interested me from reading the scripts was the bank heist episode. I hope the unreleased episodes will be a lot better.

with the 4th episode listen I was hoping for more focus on the monster and how they stop it rather than summarizing the episode as young doctor and how fear is important etc, etc.

Wasn't there something about an Egyptian on the Orient Express at the end of season 5?

Well, despite people saying not to expect a Malcolm Tucker Doctor, that's exactly what I think he channelled, and it was fantastic.

The cgi was pretty abysmal I'll give you that. Not that Doctor Who exactly excels at that but it felt particularly bad this time.

The show continues to have massive budget problems. Also the new opening is terrible.

Yeah you can tell. Also the opening was abysmal, I absolutely hate it, the theme isn't that bad, but they should have stuck with the spacey-time vortex rather than spinning clocks.

The new intro was an adapted fan made video

I always thought that the soldiers they sent out to the war were just normal galifreyians whilst the time lords were plotting their next moves, hence the war being so costly on lives

Well, I'm worried now. Moffat is claiming "Brain melting revelations" this season. That can't be good.
