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

There's nothing intelligent about his cliched convoluted storylines. Having a story arc doesn't mean it is intelligent.

It was fun when it was the odd episode in Season 4 but now you have a full season of it, it gets very tiring.

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????

Why are you hating on us Americans?! We didn't have anything to do with this! :(

Also, more cowboys.

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.

Yeah, me too. He's never going to be a Tennant but in his own way he is funny and endearing.He's not a complete embarrassment to the series like many believed he would be.

I'm not hating on Americans, this is a UK show don't base it all in the US to try and appeal to US fans, for a show that revolves around a time traveller who has a magic box that can go anywhere in time and space why does he always end up in the US.

He doesn't 'always' end up in the US. Physically going to Europe is often pointless because much of it looks very similar to the UK (when they visited Hitler last season, it was all in the UK), not to mention the language problems with non-English speaking parts of the world.

Plus, if they are going to go to the US they should just go to the US like they did last series at the beginning. Not to mention the fact that most of the actors they bring on the show to "sound" American do it fairly poorly. There are exceptions of course, like that newscaster woman and the US President etc they've had from time to time. I realize filming in the US is probably beyond their budget other than a one off like last series, but eh, I can deal :)

They've been to the US what, twice in 50 years? :D

Doctor Who's latest companion's name may have been revealed.

Jenna-Louise Coleman has joined the BBC One sci-fi series as The Doctor's (Matt Smith) new companion, but her character name has yet to be confirmed.

Coleman will first appear in the upcoming seventh series of the show at Christmas, replacing current companions Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) and Rory Williams (Arthur Darvill).

Fans attending the filming of Coleman's first episode have claimed that they overheard producers and cast members calling her Clara.

"Jenna Louise is CLARA," one fan tweeted.

The actress revealed back in March that she knew little about the character, including her name.

      It is, but it also has a bad performance reputation even on high-end gaming PCs. Some people say it's the engine's fault, others say it's the games developers' fault, who knows... At the end of the day, for the average gamer, the take is this: PC game with Unreal Engine 5? Be affraid and cross your fingers, it's a 50/50 chance.
    • 25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Xbox Games Showcase had a new Xbox console reveal from Microsoft celebrating the gaming brand turning 25 years old. This is to be a new limited edition Xbox Series X and controller collection that draws on the design of the rare green version of the original Xbox console. The "XBOX Series X25 Limited Edition" is coming out later this year with its matching controller. "Inspired by the look and feel of the original XBOX console, both the console and controller feature a translucent OG Green design, with subtle tributes to the journey we’ve been on together," said Microsoft in the announcement. The Xbox Series X|S line has received several new variants over the years, but this will be the first edition with a translucent design. The Xbox Series X25 will have one terabyte of internal storage and a green light on the X to signify the console lines' history. There is a 25th anniversary logo printed on the front plate. Microsoft is also teasing that the community will be able to find "a few hidden surprises throughout" the machine as well. As for the new X25 Special Edition Xbox controller, this is also coming with the classic translucent green design for its front and back plates. "From the original ABXY colors, to the timeless green, every detail calls back to the beginning, including the bumpers honoring the original black and white buttons on the original “Duke” controller," says the company about this release. "The back case and battery door are fully transparent, revealing the classic XBOX logo." The XBOX 25th anniversary collection, containing both the translucent console and controller, will be available for purchase in November 2026 as a limited-edition release. Microsoft will be offering the new XBOX Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition separately as well. Pricing details and pre-order information will be coming later.
