Any updates on them leaving the show yet? I kinda figured it would happen this series coming, I mean 3 entire series with them is a pretty long run (with the same Doctor no less to boot).

I hope Matt Smith isn't leaving at the end of this series also. I'd really like to see how dark he could take the character.

So, no thoughts on the Christmas special?

Overall I thought it was actually pretty good. But damn it Moffat, why do you have to change established stuff (or at least try to bypass the "laws" of the show so to speak). I thought one couldn't cross their own timeline and change it, it causes damage to the space time continuum not to mention brings those demon-like things from that one episode with Rose (when she saved her Father)? I understand it was the Xmas show and they wanted a happy ending and all that, but meh.

I did enjoy the ending though, very much. Amy and Rory at the end, very nice moment with the Doctor. And that one single moment just showing the Doctor alone, very nice touch Moffat. I just wish they had shown something from the upcoming series. Even a tease about possible story or enemies. Ah well, can't win em all.

That crossed my mind as well, seems like it's a different writer, different rules. He did this through series 5 and 6, paradoxes etc.

The ending was very touching though, don't think the Doctor hasn't cried since the series 2 finale (like emotional).

Matt Smith is definately growing on me and I really love Murray Golds themes:

Whenever 'I am the Doctor' plays i get goosebumps cause I know something epic is about to happen, shame it was one of the weakest Christmas episodes of the nu-Who imho.

Likewise. The Christmas episodes tend to be weak. Last years was poor and 'The Next Doctor' was terrible.

I enjoyed it! bought a tear to my eye to see the doctor cry again.. If I remember correctly the last time he cried was the last time he ever saw Rose.

anyway I love Doctor Who so much I decided to make a wallpaper:

Did he actually cry? I thought it was just a snow flake

Either way I thought the episode was just another piece of trash that was on tv over christmas. I'm surprised the BBC didn't just do a re-run of last christmases episode since they seem so happy with repeats this year. Damn Budget cuts

I'm not sure they've started shooting yet have they? Suppose it'll be starting up in the next couple of months though

Typically a new series starts in March/April, so you're suggesting that this years series hasn't even started filming?! They have.

SPOILER ALERT

And there's an emotional twist to the ending of Amy/Rory.

I'd be surprised if it was. Then again, I haven't heard anything about air dates. The past 5 series have started around Easter.

Had a looksee around, found this: http://doctorwhotv.co.uk/doctor-who-series-7-autumn-2012-26419.htm

Apparently the shooting doesn't begin until next month... it's going to be a loooooong wait until our next Doctor Who fix >.<

    • Motrix Next 3.9.4

      By Copernic · Posted

      Motrix Next 3.9.4 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management. Motrix Next features: Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons) Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection Motrix Next 3.9.4 changelog: Motrix Next 3.9.4 promotes the 3.9.4 beta cycle to stable. This release refreshes bundled engine binaries, improves task detail readability and copy actions, expands link handling for magnet and ED2K workflows, polishes responsive navigation and text wrapping, updates browser extension documentation, and refines network preference controls. New Features Task Detail copy actions — Added copyable values for task metadata and reusable render functions for long text fields. Magnet and ED2K lifecycle support — Added task lifecycle handling for magnet and ED2K links. History cleanup for deleted tasks — Deleted tasks can now remove matching history records. User-Agent management — Added user-agent management and improved related network preference controls. Browser extension documentation — Added the Firefox Add-ons link for the Motrix Next extension. Improvements Engine binaries — Updated bundled binaries for supported architectures. Task Detail readability — Long task names, URLs, tracker values, and copyable metadata now render more clearly.

Proxy controls — Improved proxy button styling in network preferences.

      NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.

      TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.

      Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
