It'll be sad to see Twelve go, but nothing wrong with a new face

It's the writers/showrunner I'm more concerned about and as long as they keep the Doctor in-character, I'll be content

Granted, that leaves room for everyone without two hearts to gripe about things, so...double-edged sword, and all that

How tall was Pertwee compared to Capaldi?

Capaldi is two inches shorter, at 6'0

I'm waiting for Jenny, Clara, Ashildr, Bill, and Heather to all meet up

Maybe toss in Handles, K9, and Rusty as well, to spice up Clara's TARDIS (and I'm curious as to what kind of personality it has, or did they phase those out in later models?)

The Valeyard isn't actually the Doctor, he's just all the negativity and darker impulses the Doctor has repressed over his life that somehow manifests itself as a new being. He isn't actually a regeneration.

I've always liked the idea of a Dark Doctor that isn't the Master
Although from a certain perspective, I suppose even the Doctor's benevolent actions are considered horrifying from another race's perspective, hence his numerous titles that are often enough to make even the Daleks step back

-

The Doctor: Now. We all know there’s an elephant in the room.
Amy: I have to be this size, I’m having a baby.
The Doctor: No. No. The hormones seem real, but no. Is anyone going to mention Rory’s ponytail. You hold him down, I’ll cut it off?
Rory: This from a man in a bowtie.
The Doctor: Bowties are cool.

I should rewatch Eleven's run at some point...

How influential has this show been on all of your lives?

I'm a lot more prone to flapping my hands about when talking about things
And turning about a bit whenever I get up to go somewhere
And grinning like a loon for no particular reason

"Biting's excellent. It's like kissing. Only there's a winner."

And hearing the TARDIS saying she loves her stolen Time Lord is quite heartbreaking
It also makes Davros' attempted destruction of her back in Series 3 that much more horrifying

It's one thing to say Matt Smith is adorable, but watching him in The Eleventh Hour, and now The God Complex, is bringing back so many warm fuzzy memories

He's got such a wonderful way of interjecting random tangential phrases into his chatter that's charming to watch

River is hit or miss, but I really like her in the library two-parter.

I keep hearing things like "River Song gets better in terms of being a character as she nears her death"

Time Lord Agent: I have a stazer pointed directly at your hearts, set to maximum lethal power and my finger is on the trigger. All you have is a cup of tea.
War Master: I know..... are you scared yet? :smug:

A pity he doesn't start musing about the twenty thousand ways you can kill someone with a cup of tea

Twenty-three if it's full

Thirty if it's hot

If I knew how to photoshop I would put upside down K9 on top of the TARDIS.

Hm...would River be Lucy?
