Are you ready for Doctor Who Series 8/Season 34, starring Peter Capaldi as the 12th/14th/1st Doctor?

I SURE AM.

WE'RE GETTING A FULL SERIES THIS TIME! No gap in the middle or anything! Here are the episodes we're getting this series:

Deep Breath by Steven Moffat
Into the Dalek Phil Ford & Steven Moffat (Phil Ford co-wrote "The Waters of Mars" and also wrote some of the best SJA episodes so I'm looking forward to his return. He also wrote Dreamland but... let's forget about that)
Robot of Sherwood by Mark Gatiss
Listen by Steven Moffat
Time Heist by Stephen Thompson & Steven Moffat
The Caretaker Gareth Roberts & Steven Moffat
Kill the Moon Peter Harness
Mummy on the Orient Express by Jamie Mathieson

That would suck.

Some people on SFX think it might be a time displaced Clara, whose gone a bit bonkers.

Aww, I missed the rEFCL thread then.

I liked the episode overall, but it was quite patchy. I liked the new Doctor once he'd settled into himself, and I appreciate Clara having a bit more life to her. Didn't really appreciate being smacked over the head with advice even from Matt Smith to give the new guy a chance. I mean, I know the companion is there to represent the viewer, so having her freaked out, and eventually coming to terms with the change makes a lot of sense. But there's such a thing as subtlety.
 
Reposted from another place in space and time.

YEAH it got a lot better with the restaurant scene. Which was good because the first half was pretty patchy. A (for some reason super giant) dinosaur shows up at the start...then just kind of stands around for twenty minutes before it dies. Didn't Moffat erase the Cyberking in Victorian London because it was too stupid that it didn't do any damage or change the future?

Then the pace got really slow with the scenes of Clara staying with Jenny/Straxx/Vestra. I like the characters (and actors) fine enough, but really what was the point of Straxx x-raying Clara and the part with Jenny posing for Vestra who wasn't really painting her (it diesn't even make sense)? And they still have to say "we're married!" in every scene they're in. It's pretty well established by now! Did the three of them even interact with the Doctor?

But Capaldi was good once he got in full gear with his attack eyebrows and Jenna Coleman did a good job. The scenes with the robots were quite creepy. The Matt Smith scene was sad though it did make me feel "I really miss Matt Smith" and I'm not sure if it's wise to make us feel that when a new Doctor's just made his debut?

So yeah, in the most important way (Peter Capaldi as the Doctor) it was a good episode but would have been better if it was ten minutes shorter and the 11th Hour remains the best "introduce a new Doctor" episode.
 
The painting thing was most likely a homage to a similar scene in either airplane, or airplane two, where the pilot is painting a topless girl, and it turns out all he painted was a bowl of fruit.
 
A giant dinosaur suddenly appearing in the middle of the Thames and later spontaneously combusting is another one of those things people can so easily forget over time.
 
And yes, the lizard and the girl who inexplicably calls EVERY woman "mum" are LEZZ-BEANS.

We GET it, already.

It was forward-thinking, and it was done cutely, but YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL US THEY'RE MARRIED IN EVERY SINGLE SCENE THEY'RE IN.

WE'RE NOT PUDDING-BRAINS.
 
Doesn't sound like "ma'am." Sounds like "mum" most of the time, and sometimes sounds like "mom."

AS THOUGH AT ANY MOMENT A GAS-MASK IS GOING TO EMERGE FROM HER FACE.
 
So there should be a Rule #35: If it exists, there's a whiny cunt somewhere in the world who will claim it "triggers" some loony color of butt-hurt in them.
 
Somewhere out there there is a guy wearing someone elses face over their own and blaming Who for it.
 
Now that is more like it!

And OMG, me and Tomtrek like the same episode of Who, that dosnt happen often.
 
When I saw the generic future space soldiers my heart sank, because those episodes can be really bad (was the Cyberman one the last rubbish future space soldier episode?), but this was really good!

Loved the direction and visuals. Some really pretty, artistic stuff going on that complemented and enhanced the story rather than being a replacement for it.

Vod off of Fresh Meat! Cool. Was there an actual subtle suggestion she was a lesbo?

Whoever controlled the Dalek did a great job. The way the head moved after saying "you're a good Dalek" was really... human.
