    I have no idea what the content of the episodes will be, but the trailer uses the exact same style (even the exact same music) as 95% of all other action/adventure trailers made in the past ten or so years. I'd have preferred something that differs from the crowd.

    People can scrutinize the bejeezus out of that trailer but all I know is after 40 years Beep the Meep is making his live action debut.

    If...
    Neil Patrick Harris is playing The Celestial Toymaker, BBC should try to have at least tele snaps of the missing episodes of the Toymaker serial, even if they're no longer doing animated reconstructions.

    I think it's RTD doing what he was doing previously, bringing back the same characters over and over because he can't move on.

    I, for one welcome Tennant and Tate back, because I do feel there needs to be some closure for the Donna Mindwipe affair, and it makes all the sense in the world that it's in the form of Tennant as the Doctor.

    And hopefully his words before regenerating will be, "I'm ready to go."

    Well, hopefully this second regeneration isn't as traumatizing as the first.

    I love reading this thread, but I don't post so much due to being clueless in current events as I'm only at Capaldi's second season by now.

    That new trailer was fun to watch. Hopefully one day I'll catch up.

    Also been watching more classic who which is always fun.

    Might rewatch a couple Christmas specials. Merry Christmas!

    Doctor Who taught me one lesson about Christmas: always be careful around Robot Santas. :p

    And those freaky snowmen!

    There's a lot of scary stuff going on with the Doctor Who universe.
    It's awesome.

    This. It’ll be nice to see Tennant’s Doctor get more closure and hopefully he’ll be more ready to go this time around.

    I also really like that the Doctor revisiting some of his former selves has already been set up by the Curator.

    Just rewatched the Teaser Trailer again, looks great, very dramatic.

    And I agree with the last line spoken as it relates to knowing what is happening lol.

    I also watched it again and my takeaway is still Beep the Meep appearing on the show after being the most merciless and vicious ball of fuzz and ears to ever bother the 4th Doctor in the comics.

    The pathetic, doe-eyed little Mogwai looking thing in the trailer... made the 4th Doctor pity him until he was revealed as a pitiless warlord and mass murderer.

    1. Favorite Doctor?
    4,8,12

    2. Least favorite Doctor?
    Honestly... it's probably Pertwee but solely because I found the whole "earthbound" thing tedious after awhile.

    3. Favorite Companion?
    K-9

    4. Least Favorite Companion?
    Danny Pink

    5. Favorite enemy?
    Davros

    6. Least favorite enemy?
    The human form of the contest winner thing

    7. Favorite story?

    1. Favorite Doctor?
    Colin Baker.

    2. Least favorite Doctor?
    Capaldi and Whittaker tie by default due to lack of exposure.

    3. Favorite Companion?
    Frobisher.

    4. Least Favorite Companion?
    Of the ones I’ve actually seen, Grace Holloway. I mean she straight up killed the Seventh Doctor and then she was so goddamn bland. Paul McGann deserved better item #1569.

    5. Favorite enemy?
    The Valeyard.

    6. Least favorite enemy?
    Michael Grade, amirite?

    7. Favorite story?
    “The Five Doctors” was my introduction to Classic Who after I had seen the first couple of seasons from the revival, and that’s the moment I went from “this show is pretty cool” to “Oh my God there’s decades of this beautiful cheese.” Thanks to ripping the DVD I had rented from the library it’s by far the episode I’ve watched the most.

    8. Least favorite story?
    You know, I might have to commit the ultimate sin here and say “An Unearthly Child/The Cavemen.” No wonder the show almost got ****canned after four episodes, most of that is dire.
