The latest episodes are really dis-interesting to me. The last seasons were all about The Silence and it seemed so amazing in comparison. This one is just..... slow.

Re: Dr Who New Series

One of the main problems with the new series is Clara really. Moffat has a new pet character so everything is centred around her. While I really do like her actress, it just seems like the Doctor's obsession with Clara is going to end up stretched over 3 seasons like it was with River Song. It doesn't help that Rory, Amy and River were all perfectly capable of looking after themselves while Clara just seems to be an annoying Manic Pixie Dream Girl character who constantly needs rescuing and generally plays the damsel in distress. Plus the Doctor is suddenly obsessed with her because he literally has nothing else to do.

While it is a mystery to find out who Clara is. I do sometimes find myself asking "Do I really care?"

Don't get me wrong, Jenna Louise Coleman is a very good actress but I do find myself struggling to really like the character Clara Oswin Oswald. Honestly I'm not sure if the show would be any different at all if she was taken out entirely and it was just The Doctor flying solo but Doctor Who without companions isn't really very fun.

Always nice to see the Cybermen come back. Next week's episode should be fun.

Re: Dr Who New Series

Peter Capaldi is a great choice for the new Doctor. He was great in The Thick of It and Moffat always wanted a middle aged actor to play him so it would be interesting to see what direction they will go with with the scripts. They were going for far darker scripts if the last series is anything to go by and an older actor would pull off the dark and sinister angle far better than with the hyper and manic personality they gave Matt Smith's Doctor.

Shame to see the Matt Smith fangirls writing him off before even seeing him in an episode though.

Re: Dr Who New Series

I'm quite happy with the new direction they're going. The Doctor can't always be a good looking 20-something. Think the new Doctor will really give the show a breath of fresh air.

Not to mention, how are they going to explain him being in Pompeii and Torchwood?

Re: Dr Who New Series

Well he did shoot himself in Torchwood so that could be him going into the next regeneration.
