I like the quarry with a dodgy green sky effect in the new trailer, reminds me of the pink sky on Varos or the sea/sky on Thoros Beta

You can hardly see it in the trailer though?

Unless you're talking about the leaked design in which case ya, it's totally a vibrator

This is a little busy around the edges, but I actually like the sonic a little better in that picture than what I'd seen of it before. Also still like Thirteen's outfit.

Moffat always said it was a complete lie, but every single year there was always at least one scene featuring a Dalek, even in years where there was only ONE episode of Who to watch. So people could be forgiven for thinking that there might be something to it.

The trailer looks nothing like Doctor Who.

And I mean that in the best possible way.

If they can nail the spirit of Doctor Who, the best parts of the Classic Series, Big Finish, RTD, and Moffat when they got it absolutely right, and keep the canon, combined with this look--Doctor Who will rise to a whole 'nother level.

Liked that a lot better than the teaser trailer, for sure. Even in just the brief bits shown here, you can tell Jodie's natural charm (and excitement at playing the role) is just gonna radiate off the screen so wonderfully. :)

However, as I've said before, NuWho generally leaves me cold; so until I've seen an actual episode, I'm going to remain firmly planted over here in the chair labeled "Cautiously Optimistic" for now. :v:

Interesting, that's got a really expensive Prestige TV look to it, like the BBC are throwing HBO style money at it, which is nice. The shot with the low white buildings and tanks has 'Montgomery motor pool' on the side of one of them, indicating, yes, we're getting Rosa Parks. The motel looks a bit like the one Martin Luther King was shot at, but that was in Memphis.

It's actually an extremely important, extremely binding legal arrangement the Tenth Doctor made with Davros a long time ago, and if there is ever a season that doesn't feature them, they are allowed to go back in time and create Nigel Farage.

If they had let Jackie Lane talk like she did in her first episode and they hadn't tried to make poor Nicola Bryant do "American," it wouldn't have forced them to act in shackles.

I am really partial to David Tennant's "I'm not Scottish ;) " Estuary-ish thing, but really, they should have let him be Scottish too.

Speaking of Scottish Doctors, I’m actually kind of digging Dragonfire. Granted, my love for McCoy is probably coloring my perception, but the aesthetic is decent, Ace is great from her very first scene, and even Mel is alright.

People are already able to pick up the new sonic at SDCC. I guess they really want to get ahead of broadcast instead of lagging months behind like the previous years.
