I'm not attacking angry mob style, Sanfran, lol. I loved David Tennant as the Doctor and I will cling to the 10th doctor being my favorite for all time.

I'm only half an hour into the first episode of Whitaker's first season and I really like her as the doctor so far. Not exactly an informed decision, but I knew I loved Tennant by the end of his first episode and I'm feeling that same excitement and happy feelings with her now. It took me longer to warm up to Smith and Capaldi.

I will say I was pretty excited by Whitaker's casting because while all the actors bring something new and different to the character, a female doctor is even more different and it's about time. I was even more excited because my 11 year old niece who is a huge Doctor Who fan was absolutely thrilled to hear the new doctor is a girl.

I think the 12th Doctor, Peter Capaldi, is my favorite to date but I love ALL the doctors. There is something in each one that I love. Jodi's portrayal is refreshing and I love that she has three companions and that one is a man of a "certain age".

There's an episode on Boxing Day, it's an animated version of a miniseries from 1967 with Patrick Troughton! Here's a wiki page on it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Macra_Terror

I don't know if they aired it back in March, but if so I missed it.

It airs Thursday Dec 26th at 6pm PT.

Few spoilers for season finale...

I’m not sure how I feel about the revelation about the Doctor’s true origin (if it is true). Not because I don’t like the idea, just that it could really complicate storylines. They’re already confusing enough as it is.

I still don’t understand how the version of the Doctor who (whoops) helped Thirteen in the matrix had a police box Tardis. Or what happened to the Missy version of the Master. Did she regenerate and I missed that?

I remember Six was (falsely) accused of genocide during his trial and that’s what first occurred to me when Thirteen was thrown in prison by the Rhino police (whatever they’re called). Was she arrested for genocide of the Cyber-Time Lords? (I’m assuming the Master somehow escaped the detonation of the Death Particle.) But then I thought, the Doctor had (sort of) wiped out the Time Lords & Daleks in the Time War and he wasn’t arrested for such a crime then so...I don’t know. I can’t really remember what happened in the epi when she first met alternate (matrix) Doctor.

I do know I had other questions & thoughts but don’t recall them now.

Gosh help me I’m going to try to watch Dispatches from Elsewhere now. I suspect my brain will hate me.

P. S. Missed Jack.

Thanks, Roteach. I thought it was something like that.

A couple of the thoughts I’d forgotten last night:

- It seemed to gloss over how the Gallifrey explorer studied the Timeless Child’s regeneration ability. I sorta remember Ten’s extra arm glowing with energy so it may have been possible to “just” study tissue samples. But they showed multiple versions of the child. Was the kid terribly accident-prone or sickly? If not, there’s a fairly chilling & brutal implication of what the explorer did. Please tell me I missed something.

- The Master mentioned preserving the Time Lords ‘ (this site doesn’t like plural possessives, I guess) bodies by keeping them cold. But were they “dead” dead? How would regeneration energy work then? And is this another, different way Cybermen are converted/engineered? (Seems like there are multiple ways - sometimes just using a human brain, sometimes a human/humanoid body...)

I've watched a few episodes over the years but for some reason (mostly lack of awareness of when it's on) I've never been a regular viewer. I have liked what I've seen and some episodes I've seen were brilliant.

Anyway, I haven't been watching this season. I'm not trying to stir up controversy but what is the issue with this season? Apparently some viewers are very unhappy with it.

I haven't seen last night's show yet, so can't comment on that, but to Jimmer's question..

People say the writing this season hasn't been good. I think it's been slowly deteriorating since Russell T Davies left in 2011. He has such a talent to write interesting stories with so much heart and emotion, now they're mostly more like caper of the week. Sometimes there is a magic there, but usually it's kind of been background tv.

Jimmer, I don't know what they are complaining about, but for myself there have been times where I'm quite lost with what the hell is happening! I will admit that the kids have taken to watching it with me and sometimes there is a lot of pausing as they ask questions, but I do find myself saying huh? at least once an ep. And sometimes think they are just trying to be too clever. She does talk fast and has verbal diarrhea at times.

New season of Doctor Who starts TODAY!

Live worldwide premiere starts in 10 mins (11.25 PT) and is repeated at 8pm ET.

The premiere looks like it includes all sort of aliens from previous shows.

I'm going to see if I can watch this season. I keep losing track of when it starts and when it's on for some reason.

Ncuti's costume revealed, see link:

https://tvline.com/2022/12/17/doctor-who-costume-photos-ncuti-gatwa/

From reading that, it sounds like Doctor Who will be on Disney+ from now on, not BBCAmerica. And nothing (not Tennant nor Gatwa) until November 2023.

The three Doctor Who specials (with David Tennant and Catherine Tate) will air on Disney+ (only) on Sat Nov 25th, Sat Dec 2nd, Sat Dec 9th.

The new series with Ncuti Gatwa will air "in 2024," so there will be no Christmas or New Year episode.

The first of the specials is available on Disney+. It's well worth watching, bit of a light hearted one compared to some.

Pretty sure these three episodes will confirm David Tennant is the best Doctor ever, if there were any doubt :-).

I really enjoyed the specials, they were kind of old school. And I loved the ending (or not?!) for David Tennant's Doctor, he's always seemed like the one who didn't want to go.

Looking forward to more Ncuti at Christmas (I was wrong above when I said no Christmas episode). I hope he finds some pants!
