I think this was pretty much a shoe in that Smith was going to leave. He's out in a couple of years, his profile is rising, and he's entering his 30s. Don't want to be typecast as the Doctor as he wants to continue his acting career. He was great in the role and its a shame to see him go especially with what Moffat gave him to work with in the last half season. I think the next doctor is probably going to be an older guy as an intermediate step to the next next Doctor. I hope he's leaving on good terms though as opposed to behind the scenes stuff.

Yeah I don't think that's really Rose. Maybe just a physical manifestation of Bad Wolf/Heart of the Tardis/Whatever trying to correct what the Hurt Doctor did maybe.

Does anyone else hope the Time War is resolved in such a way that'll allow them to contribute more to stories? I think would be neat for Capaldi Doctor to have a long-running singular villain to break up the creature of the week stuff. Preferably a Time Lord.

If anything else, a back shot with a double in garb and they play an audio clip of 'Fantastic.' Something along those lines.

It is possible that 11 didn't know the Capaldi doc was there. It's all kind of vague.

Things can be judged independently of themselves. It's great that the Anniversary Special was good, but that doesn't mean anything either way for the Christmas special. It isn't anything exclusive to the Doctor Who fandom. I hope it's a good story because regeneration stories tend to be good in my opinion, but I thought Series 7 was bad so my faith is tepid at best where the Anniversary Special is the lone good blimp surrounded by badness. Also, I don't know if people have talked about it - but Series 8 will air in August of next year without interruption.

Where did the Easter special rumor originate? Looking around for it, I saw some 'spoilers' written by someone who says a McGann/Capaldi multi Doctor 2 part episode is coming too. Which is hilarious because Moffat would never do a two parter!

The concept of a regenerating companion would be neat. Only if that companion wasn't River Song. The concept was almost there. I feel like it would be a bit dark for Doctor Who though - to have a companion die every episode or every other episode to force a regeneration. Or maybe an alien who mimics regeneration as part of their race, so it could happen without trauma.

When looking at his full body of work, RTD can really shine. Its easy to target the season 3 finale and the last 10th doctor special. I compare this to Moffat whom I feel a large portion of his time as show runner has been sub par. To me, and I usually always say this, Series 5 might be the best of the whole revival and then it has just been downhill from there. He hung on to Amy and River for too long and the plots with them just felt forced and he has still failed to develop Clara as anything more than quirky precious girl. I can't blame him for dreaming big and wanting all of these interweaving storylines and such - but the payoff never feels satisfying enough. I thought series 6 was abysmal all the way through.

I'm okay with the new character information at face value. If it's just a teacher who happens to teach at this school, that's fine. I just can't shake the Moffat doubt that the school is going to have some sort of secret or hidden agenda that they've always operated as friends of the Doctor as some organization throughout history and blah blah blah, insert long speech by that turkey from Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Just let a teacher be a teacher, nothing more.

My voodoo dolls all for naught. I really wish a new writer would have taken over with Capaldi. He's going to be caught in these same bad episodes that Smith had to endure the final 2 years when Moffat ran out of good ideas.

I've just accepted this is the thread for people who dislike the show and just want the spoiler information as soon as possible to know if it's worth the time to invest in it, or to lessen the blow of seeing the final product. There are people who genuinely like it in the other thread, and that's cool too, but the dissenting opinions don't mesh too well at times.
