First Official Image From The DOCTOR WHO Season 8 Premiere, "Deep Breath"

Woop! Thick of It.

So excited!

I've no doubt that Capaldi will be a fantastic Doctor, but I still can't get over how stupid his outfit looks. Like the Maître D' of a stage magic themed restaurant. "Is THIS your table?"

Well at least Gusto recycles something.

@kaijunexus - That's ok. Every time I hear a conversation with the words doctor or doctors I immediately think of Doctor Who! I grew up watching Classic Doctor Who and the 4th Doctor is hands down my favorite. Tennant is probably my favorite modern Doctor, but I can't wait to see Peter's version. He's been a Doctor Who fan since he was a kid like me. He's gonna rock the TARDIS!

@Gusto

At least McGee has an ass. You're ass is just like table I'm sitting at: flat and full of wood.

I think a general aesthetic should be familiar, but so far, we've seen NOTHING to indicate how the 12th Doctor will be like any other.

HOWEVER.... if we were to go by appearance and scenarios....

In the preview image for the "Am I a good man?" teaser, you've got Clara looking uncharacteristically, how can I put this, child-like.
In short, she really reminds me of Peri, even though no, she's nothing like her, not really. A lot of "characterization" for both the classic and revival series can be interpreted as where the plot wants the companions to go.

Example: I really like the Fifth Doctor (I was surprised how much, too), and unfortunately, he's surrounded by a bunch of squabbling morons. Nyssa is alright, but Tegan and ADRIC (holy sh*t, Adric) really had to act stupid in order for the Doctor to appear more intelligent. Peri wasn't tremendously brainy either, but she was, at the very least, reasonable compared to Tegan's tantrums and Adric's general idiocy.

Catherine Tate and David Tennant had some of the best chemistry. Yeah, we all love Amy because she's f**king hot, and she's pretty smart too, but sometimes she AND Rory would act annoying just for the Doctor to appear unnerved. Donna was a comedic character who developed over the course of one season as she realized her value in the universe (and not just because of "Turn Left") and became someone the Doctor could have a real conversation with... unfortunately, that was snatched away.


I liked that they could be friends, without the romantic interest in each other, and you could tell the actors had a blast in their roles. I miss Donna. I don't miss Tennant so much, simply because he's had his time, he's become one of, if not THE most recognized Doctor, and yeah, it was enough to make him a bit overrated.

In that one "Time Crash" short, Ten is scripted to say that Five was his favorite, his inspiration... maybe because Moffat was a big fan. David Tennant has said that his inspiration, however, came from the Fourth Doctor.

You know, I've seen some from every Doctor except Three and Four.
