I noticed, as well. However, it should be noted that the trailer above only has scenes from the three episodes that have been shot, not the entire season. Notice he's wearing Tennant's outfit in a lot of those scenes, which would suggest he's still post-regen-crazy.

Also, take this into consideration: David Tennant was playing Chris Eccleston for 99% of his first episode. So, it will probably take him time to settle into the role.

Per Moffat, the Eleventh Doctor is an antithesis to Number Ten. He's much more humble, and far more introspective. It's going for a Troughton/Pertwee/Davison mix. He's going to be a bit of a bruiser, like Number Three (as proven by throwing a punch, and use of the gun, in the trailer). But, will retain that same craving for adventure that all Docs have.

Steven Moffat has always said that his favorite type of characters are "the geeks who get the girl". I suspect the gawky, awkward image is going to be a Troughton-like throw-off for a clever mind and quick reflexes.

Either way, I hope you're right. If I even smell Tennant after the first half of the season, I'll begin to fret...

I had a feeling they would try really hard to make the regeneration an 'emotional' affair but I had no idea how much they would milk it!

Part 2 started well, Dalton & Cribbins were great and I even started to like Simm but I still really disliked Twatennant(Tennantwat)!

When the Doctor fell through the roof, I thought they might go the Tom Baker way but unlike the fourth Doctor, this cunt would muster the strength to save the day before regenerating because of the fall.

Then we had some gayness about the Doctor having a tough decision to make - take out the timelords or the master..., I did however like the idea of if the Timelords came back, then so would the Daleks and other bad shit.

Threat vanquished, we learn the true reason the cunt will regenerate - a combination of Pertwee(radiation poisoning) and Davison(saving a companion)!

I watched this shitcuntfest with my niece and nephew, who both love the twat and were both upset that he was 'dying' but the long winded regeneration scene bored the hell out of them! My 8 year old nephew even questioned the Martha Mickey scene!

I have to say that Rose was looking particularly ugly in her scene.

It was a huge mistake having the close up on Piper as she is quite noticeably older, yet this was before she had met the Doctor.
Should have kept the cameras at a distance or used better make up/effects to de-age her.

If Russel T Davies really wanted to blow me away with those "End of Time" episodes, he would have ended the second one on the logical closure point, not the 25 endings that followed.

Really I think I would of much rather had the Show Pause, RTD Come out Superimposed of the Show and watch him blow his fucking brains out.

That is the only way i would have been satisfied with that pile of shit.

"Hey, faggot! They're not gay! They're fucking hobbits!"

Dude, you were so right. How long did it take that fucker to die?

Russel T fat gayboy has a beardgay fixation on black guys, what with Rose fuckedupface and Donna wartchin!

Fuck shit cunt!

I can't believe I forgot to mention the absolute snarfrob Captain gaylord queercunt scene!

You fat taff twat!

Do you really really need to promote your robness to such an extent?

It totally put me of Torchwood!

But you had to 'ram' your gayness down the throats of the poor viewer one last time, didn't you!



In my little wank fantasy, I was hoping the guy, Cap Poof pulled in the bar, turned out to be the werewolf, the same actor plays in Being Human - and he bit Jacks cock off! That'd learn him!

I hated the freefall from the ship, through a skylight, and into a marble floor. And that's NOT what killed him?!

That was so cool. I really thought he was dead than.


i like the the epp,but it could have been shorter.

The only thing I liked about that scene was that the setting was a nice homage to the Star Wars canteena scene, but yeah, the whole gay pick up thing was pretty weak.

I think the whole thing about the last episode is how much of a little bitch RTD is. He had to show the audience one last time all the characters he created and how cool they are or the 'progressive' lifestyles they lead. More than that, though, he did another total fuck up of the Who continuity. It wasn't bad enough that he keeps eliminating the Daleks and Cybermen forever only to have to come up with some bullshit excuse as to why they still exist (and have a large armada), but he has to totally fuck up the Master as well. It was like 'I brought him back, so now I'm going to get rid of him' bitch move. The Master returns to Galifrey to die with the Timelords and killing a great opportunity to properly bring back the Timelords, Daleks, and Cybermen.

I have faith that Moffat understands Who better than RTD (I'm beginning to notice that he's taking on the same amount of fan hate, at least here, that another poofter Who script editor/producer of the late 70's/80's did). Moffat seems to get that the Doctor is the main character of a show called Doctor Who. He also seems to understand what makes good Who stories and villains a lot better as well.

Agreed. But, we have to remember that Who is now a huge cash-cow for the BBC, and the studios will definitely step in to make certain that particular "tween-pleasing" elements are present. I don't expect the same level of greatness from Moffat that most expect. I just hope for smarter scripts and less pop-culture-flash-fluff...

I disagree with you in the sense that I'm expecting greatness from Moffat based on what he's done so far with Who. The Empty Child and Silence in the Library show that he's good at making classic, toy friendly monsters of the week while still creating good stories. I don't expect every story to hit those levels, but I think the show overall will begin to form into that style of story again.

Hell, I'll even add The Girl in the Fireplace (clockwork Renaissance fashioned robots) and Blink.

I don't think we disagree in that area, at all. I'm just not getting my hopes up that Moffat won't be dictated by the higher-ups. We'll see...

So for some reason me posting Youtube video doesn't work. There's the URL. Check it out yourselves

Cause you are a fag at posting youtube links.

Was that so fucking difficult?

Apparently it was, Nowhereman. Apparently it was.

Maybe so. But if I am, Your my Sloppy Party Bottom

sorry, I only speak English

Finally caught the last two Who specials. I liked 'em but can see where it generated a bunch of criticism. So who was the lady timelord?

From what I understand, it's supposed to be either his granddaughter Susan, his mother, or Romana. RTD purposefully left it open for everyone to make their own assumptions...

I know it doesn't make sense but I wondered if it could have been Donna. That scene where she's getting married and Wilf asks the Doctor who the mysterious woman was, the Doctor doesn't say anything but looks at Donna. Plus there was the line she said she had been lost. That could of course apply to both Susan & Romana too.

The Republic Lives!

I heard that once in a Dr. Who episode.

And there's nothing you can do to stop it, Time Lord!!

That's the point, though. Wilf asks who she was, and The Doctor looks at his granddaughter. It supposedly implies that it's HIS granddaughter, Susan. But, like you said, it can be seen many different ways...
