ready for some wibbly wobbly timey wimey that answers the question some of us mockingly guessed correctly?

DOCTOR WHOOOOOOOOOOOO?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!?!

"you know...... for kids"

Why not?

Got enough timely-wimely with the Tardis story. He shoots through a hole in time to throw a do-wop to himself, with a "big friendly button." All solved now! Except there's a lot of truncated time lines out there with dead/dying doctors and/or companions. (Next episode: League of Denied Timelines Attack!!!)

The Cybermen episode wasn't bad.

I did enjoy the Doctor-Clever interactions.

Looks like The Doctor's name is revealed in the finale next week.

The Cybermen episode was good. Although I'd say it really stretched my suspension of belief that the Doctor would be all "nah let's not drop off the kids for their safety first while I investigate this planet with Cybermen" then I remembered he's a douche like that. Thank god they had that reveal where it showed a Cyberpiece was still floating in space, otherwise I'd just assume they were really dead this time.

These monsters never die. Even if you don't see the debris, you know they're floating away for another day.

The bit about the upgrades is kind of cool. Upgrading past the vulnerability to gold struck me as wrong, but then again, that was something the original Cybermen from Mondas had: so long as they're following a tract of assimilating enemies, it's hard to continue claiming all these other species in cybersuits also have this problem. And yes, damn, they're getting more Borg-like (although the Borg arguably are Cybermen-like; one was introduced in '66, the other wasn't)

It's the same sort of thing as with the Ponds: Doctor appears on Wednesdays for adventures, then leaves Clara with the kids. Well, why not: been doing that since Eccleson.

Re: the Doctor's name. It's "Sylvester." He's been playing chess with us all this time, since 1963.

I liked the season finale.

The mystery of Clara and how she was an impossible girl was explained, and I enjoyed the clips of the old Doctors.

And then the end. Sweet.

Can't wait til November.

_________________

T'was good. Still feel like recent episodes have been a little too rushed/too much crammed in at once, but still good.

The story was kind of all over the place, and I would've liked to see some Clara-Great Intelligence interaction in the past.

Still good.

I'm trying to figure out how Dirty Dutch Mantell became a time lord?

This is sort of following Amy Pond storyline. "The Girl Who Waited," the next year she was a normal companion (except for Rory.) How this works out for Clara, who the hell knows?

@ Dirty Dutch as a Time Lord

There's lots of theories running about.

One rumour is that John Hurt will be the real Ninth Doctor.

_________________

John Hurt can be explained in a few ways. He could be the ninth; he could be the Valyard

matt smith is gone by christmas. the bbc has announced it so now the rumors of the x-mas special being called "twelfth night" are seemingly apropos.... so who's doc 12? lots of people are on gallifrey base saying it's ben daniels, who would give you your first openly gay doctor (if matt smith doesn't count anyways) however i'm much a fan of this article cuz it has my first choice... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-22745398

that's right, idris motherfucking elba. get stringer "luther" bell up in there. we've already got luther series 3 coming in sept (and alice better fucking feature into this one. series 2 wasn't horrible but it wasn't quite like series 1) and well, obviously, it won't happen cuz that'd be way too fucking awesome.

_________________

I like Matt Smith but I've also kind of grown tired of the sameness of his Doctor.

I'd pop like it was Bash at the Beach '96 if Idris Elba was the next Doctor.

Alas, it is unlikely.

And I agree about Luther season 3. Alice needs to be prominent.

_________________

I figured Smith would last thru next year, and that's it. So if he leaves on the anniversary show, that'll be cool and dramatic.

In my world, you cast a black woman or the guy who plays the vampire in 'Being Human'. Although, yes, the werewolf guy is pretty good, too.

Or for Sini, the chick from Torchwood. In leathers, with a bazooka. You get her, then I want the werewolf guy as the companion.

Sean Pertwee!! Sure, and let's consider David Troughton, too.

Peter Capaldi is the new Doctor.

He was in the episode Fires of Pompeii.

Meh.

Peter Capaldi's character in World War Z was W.H.O. Doctor.
