Why kill off Amy or Rory (especially Rory) at this point Moffat (if one of them is to be killed off that is)? Rory you've nuked like 3 times already as it is. Plus, Weeping Angels. Yay. Use them more often so people can complain they are the new Daleks :)

Sigh, how much longer until the new series anyway? Like, another 7 months or something?

Trailer, looked like last series kinda. More America stuff? Specifically Old West stuff it seems, with aliens or robots or something! I can deal with that lol

I just truly hope they (Moffat specifically) don't kill off the Pond pair in the mid season cliffhanger whatever it is. And not only that, but then only half a series to introduce a new companion seems a tad smallish episode wise to me. Are they gonna cram 3 or 4 story episodes to explain her background/what she has to do with the Doctor etc?

Matt Smith has revealed that he doesn't plan on leaving his role on Doctor Who anytime soon.

The actor, who took over from David Tennant in 2010, has enjoyed success in the role of the Eleventh Doctor alongside his companions, played by Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill.

It was recently announced that Darvill and Gillan will be leaving in the fifth episode of the new series, in a final showdown against The Weeping Angels to be filmed in New York City.

Jenna-Louise Coleman, known for her work on Waterloo Road and Emmerdale, was recently unveiled as the new companion.

When asked about Smith's role in the future of the series, showrunner Steven Moffat stated that Smith was undecided on when he'll go.

In an interview with The Huffington Post at this weekend's Doctor Who Convention in Cardiff, however, the actor divulged more on his future plans.

He said: "I mean, look, we've got the [50th] anniversary coming up, there's another Christmas special to shoot, we've got another season with our new companion coming in, there's a lot to be getting on with before I leave, so... I'm here for the foreseeable future."

Series seven of Doctor Who is expected to return to BBC One and BBC America in autumn.

Good. I'm enjoying Matt Smith now. I mean, he's no Tennant, but I don't expect him to be anymore either. Also, I'm starting to enjoy his little mannerisims and expressions he does now alot more also.

Looks horrible. **** I hate what they've done with Dr Who :(

I don't think it looks horrible. Mind you, it looks like last series alot though to me. So, meh.

That trailer was complete and utter garbage.

I gave Moffat the benefit of the doubt for two seasons and for two seasons Dr Who has been getting progressively worse and worse.

They need to sack him he is ruining Dr Who, what is with all the American based episodes????

I hardly think that counts much as a trailer, not for the series at least considering it's only showing a preview of a single episode in it, maybe a few second glimpse of a couple more at the end :p

Saying that I am a fan of Moffat's work, but I think it's becoming a bit too much intelligent sci-fi for people's tastes, instead of the slightly cheesy family space adventures that Davies penned. But I like the more sci-fi angle. Can't wait to see what Moffat has inline for the 50th anniversary.

I don't get it. Everyone says he writes intelligent sci-fi...

I see terrible character development and predictable story arcs with ideas above their station

    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case

      By sikhwarrior · Posted

      I think this will appeal to a lot of enthusiasts. If the thermals are similar to those of a single system in a compact case, many people running multiple systems may choose to combine them into one machine, provided the case footprint remains reasonable.

    • This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time

      By BlueScreenJunky · Posted

      No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.

    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
