December 27th, 2013 - 12:11amThis is an edited version with spell check of what I wanted to say lol……..
Amazing attempt at bringing three seasons together but could have been done better, love all the past references, made you feel like a proper fan, but I hated that Matt became old, became not my doctor, not the doctor I wanted to say goodbye to, but glad he became young again to say goodbye to, and so great to see Amy pond again, would love it if peter capaldi had had the last ten minutes to destroy everyone, would have given everyone chance to see how he was going to be given what is bound to be an incredibly long gap!!!! Regarding peter capaldi, I am so excited, never seen his work before but since his announcement I have watched the thick of it and saw the show where he was announced and gave an amazing speech about how dr who belonged to the fans. I have one thing to say about peter capaldi…. Matt smith was an amazing doctor, but he chose to leave, so do you know what could have happened…. Dr who could have been cancelled, but do you know what, the producers of the show that everyone in there millions have watched have decided that peter capaldi is the best one to take the show forward, and I am so excited… He’s given 30 seconds and five lines so far and already I’m excited and intrigued, not disappointed just annoyed it will take so long to see him, but do you know what I was disappointed at every single regeneration, but every single one has proven me so wrong, and look what happened the last time a fan played the part (David Tennant) he became one of the best ever!!!! So let’s love the show rather than look for reasons to hate it! Cos I wish I could say I had been the doctor……

December 27th, 2013 - 12:04amTwo things: 1) If that was his last body, why did he start regenerating in “The Impossible Astronaut”? 2) If he didn’t die on Trenzalore, then why was the TARDIS and his ‘grave’ there in “The name of the Doctor”? Afterall, if he didnt die, there’d be no grave… So Clara would never have gone through time and saved him, meaning the Doctor wouldn’t have met her in the Asylum to begin with!

December 26th, 2013 - 11:24pmAnonymous: ‘War’ Doctor is his number, he doesn’t have a number as such, it goes 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,War,9,10,11,12 if you know what I mean? That is the labelling system:)

December 26th, 2013 - 11:11pmI think that no-one should be prioritised, Doctor Who is for everyone, but how can you say that the change is a bad idea? Doctor Who would have been cancelled long ago, from the moment the First Doctor shut Susan out of the TARDIS in The Daleks’ Invasion of Earth: Flashpoint, if change was a bad idea! What a stupid thought, that change is a bad idea.

December 26th, 2013 - 11:03pmI think it should cater to the fans no matter where they happen to live in Brittan, America, or in outer space!

December 26th, 2013 - 10:48pmHe was the only one. Moffat chose him straight away.

December 26th, 2013 - 10:38pmShould cater to the Brits NOT the Americans.
DOCTORWHOSBIGGESTFAN
December 26th, 2013 - 10:37pmDoctor Who is British. Not American. The Americans may watch the show now but Doctor Who is always British and should cater to the Brits the Americans.
So there…
Australia calling
December 26th, 2013 - 10:11pmJust my opinion but PLEASE PLEASE I hope the americans don’t become the “target market” and influence the style and storyline.
Would turn me right off a fifty year following….
crazy guy
December 26th, 2013 - 9:58pmno he didn’t lol
The astronaut of death
December 26th, 2013 - 9:40pmHow has he killed doctor who
The mad Dalek
December 26th, 2013 - 9:23pmWell Moffat has really gone and blown it, He’s killed Doctor Who, turn it off half way through, feel sorry for Peter.
The astronaut of death
December 26th, 2013 - 8:54pmIf anything it was the longest obe

December 26th, 2013 - 8:45pmWhat is wrong with you people the regeneration orange/gold glow is what killed the Daleks it did not happen in a quick flash it was a slow process which took time for him to get down to the tardis and he had time to remember Amy Pond and then he changed it was not in quick at all.
The astronaut of death
December 26th, 2013 - 8:43pmI was very very very very very very dissopointed to find that the fear in the doctor’s room was just the crack in time
The Moffat Paradox
December 26th, 2013 - 8:41pmGUFFAWW!! LOL.
Spawned 5 TV series,an animated series,books,games,oh and 12 big budget movies making BILLIONS of Dollars worldwide.As well as a large American and international fan base to boot.So as far as Doctor Who being bigger is concerned you couldn’t be further from reality.
If I didn`t also like Doctor Who (Patrick Stewart,Captain Picard,is also on record as a fan) I would neither watch it or comment here.
But arguments aside about which is better as far as which is bigger as Star Trek’s Borg would say:
“Resistance is futile”!!
The astronaut of death
December 26th, 2013 - 8:07pmYes
NCC-1701-D
December 26th, 2013 - 8:05pmI saw that, thought it was a nice touch, but has the Doctor really been carrying it around everywhere since his 3rd incarnation.
The astronaut of death
December 26th, 2013 - 7:38pmAugust
The astronaut of death
December 26th, 2013 - 7:38pmDid you know capaldi was the only one who auditioned
The astronaut of death
December 26th, 2013 - 7:36pmDoctor Who is bigger and better than star treck
Scott’s TARDIS
December 26th, 2013 - 7:35pmHe’s just a bit mental like Matt was with his ‘Still got legs’ thing back in 2010 and when David was with his ‘New Teeth. That’s wierd’ back in 2005. Give a Steven a chance with his new Doctor! I think Capaldis Doctor will be excellent.
The TARDIS
December 26th, 2013 - 7:34pmI hope it isn’t going to be too long until we see Capaldi in a full episode.
