I still don't understand why people drool over her.

I used to think she was hot when she was in the Kevin Bishop Show but as Amy Pond Im so put off. Hope series 2 is her last in Dr Who, I love Karen and I love Dr Who but omg I hate Amy Pond.

After Matt Smith's first year in the titular role of Doctor Who (a very good one at that, in my opinion), there were rumors that, like Ninth Doctor Christopher Eccleston, he might be leaving the show just a series after he started. Various reasons were given, including Smith's desire to move to America and focus on films, or that ratings for "The Big Bang," were bad enough to send him packing.

Steven Moffat, Doctor Who's current showrunner, has dismissed those rumors. The question of a regeneration was posed to him by BBC News after Benedict Cumberbatch, the star of Moffat's miniseries Sherlock, didn't deny an inquiry of whether or not he would be the Doctor in his upcoming recurring role in the series. "Maybe," Cumberbatch replied simply, and the rumor mill began to churn.

Moffat has decided to put a stop to the rumors of Cumberbatch ? or anyone ? replacing Smith. "There is no vacancy," Moffat stated, putting at ease the minds of Smith fans everywhere. "Matt Smith is the Doctor and he's been an astonishing success and ? who knows ? maybe he'll never regenerate again."

Hasnt Smith signed on for 5 years anyway? i'm sure i read somewhere that Moffat had a trilogy of seasons planned telling an overall story.

Didn't realise The Big Bang did badly in the ratings though; I know over here in Oz it was well received (at least by my friends).

It wasn't that The Big Bang did bad in the ratings, it just was't as high as previous episodes. It was still the #6 most watched show in the UK for the week I believe. Also, the episode has an appreication index rating of like 89% or something which is the highest of series 5 in fact.

Success? Clearly he has a different definition of success? And never regenerating again? Don't expect most fans back then.

I think Moffat was pulling the chain on that one. :)

Good. I am a Matt Smith fan. He will only get better as time goes on. He was brilliant for a first year Doctor, especially replacing one as popular as DT.

It was just the Big Bang episode, compared to David Tennant's last series the ratings for this series have been much lower throughout the whole series.

I have seen the limited edition box on amazon. Seems a bit expensive. It's cheaper to get all 13 episodes off iTunes. iTunes = ?25. The DVD collection = ?50.

Anyway, I found the Prom Video on YouTube. Got to say Matt Smith's live acting is awesome. He seemed out of breath but kept going! Awesome, and I loved the bit where he goes "Matt Smith, what a dull name" :laugh:

Doctor Who on the Simpsons... I would just love to see that! :laugh:

I think they should also put Matt in Family Guy. The Doctor and Peter would surely be a laugh!. Something good, not just a cameo from the Tom Baker opening in "Blue Harvest". Which I still found funny though.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
