I can't wait for the haters to come in here and comment :p

 

No hater here. I'm actually welcoming this incarnation of the Doctor. I never grew to really like Smith, however I still believe this has to do with the material he was given and not the portrayal of the character itself. I still think someone needed to go and that person WASN'T Smith

William Hartnell in 'The Power of the Daleks ' I saw in around 1975/1976 when I was a small boy, that was great, you could see the electric rails the Daleks ran upon.

He is my second favourite.

Of course the best and always the best, why didn't he come back as he is miles better than everyone.

I tried to get back into Dr. Who, but, they introduced Cathorin Tate, I was waiting for her to take the ######, so could not take Dr. Who seriously anymore.

Which is a shame because she certainly grew into the role.

I like it, he kind of reminds me of an older DT with a hint of Tom Baker as well - Im sure the Dr will feel very comfortable in his new body.  It's going to be interesting to see the Dr experience age again, I think he will notice more respect from others though as he doesn't look such a young man.  If done right, I think this could really work well - almost a Dr that is happy to be a middle aged man again because he has come to terms with himself.  I'm hoping for some rather deep writting here.

It will be interesting to see how he carries himself as the Doctor, as we have seen in the past several actors have played the Doctor rather differently than they play other characters. I am excited to see how he does and i am rather happy to see a Older Darker Doctor coming along. Even if he plays the Doctor like he character in the Fires of Pompeii it will be amazing.

Must admit, as much as I like the choice - I don't like the fact he has been in the show before.

Well... we will see... if he can pull off a middle of David and Matt (a little more serious/little drama like David and a little less of craziness of Matt with sometimes was a little stupid for what the character is) will be the perfect doctor for every current audience of Dr Who Fans

If he can pull that off he might just definitely be the perfect Doctor. However, that's gonna be one more feat to accomplish that.

Famed novelist Neil Gaiman (American Gods, The Ocean at the End of the Lane: A Novel), writer of past Doctor Who episodes such as "The Doctor's Wife" and "Nightmare in Silver" has revealed on tumblr that a black actor was offered the role to be the next Doctor but turned the role down for unspecified reasons. When asked to disclose the name of the actor, Gaiman declined to provide any further information. Prior to Peter Capaldi being confirmed as the 12th doctor, actors such as Chiwetel Ejiofor (Children of Men, Serenity) and David Harewood (Homeland) were reportedly in the running.

Would be cool to hear a bit of an explanation about why the regeneration process can result in a body that is older than the one you currently have.  I dont mean that in a bad way, would be nice to have a reason though.

 

Im looking forward to a new Dr, as much as I respect MS I still miss DT and hope PC can extend the story.

It's good to see an older actor in the role, Eccleston, Tennant and Smith were exceptions to the "rule" basically, the Doctor has always been older.

 

Ecclestone was 40 when he played The Doctor, by comparison, Peter Davison was 29, the second youngest actor to play The Doctor only beaten off the top spot by Matt Smith.

True but we dont know how old the previous incarnation was before regenerating into him.  This time we are making quite a big jump so it would be nice to hear some kind of query from Clara.

She'll probably say something when he regens like "your older?" and then he might explain

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.

    • 007 First Light review: Satisfying spy adventure that James Bond needed

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I'm not happy with myself for it, but I've gone and got hold of it. Just another 45 minutes and I'll be Bond, James Bond. In my defence, IO's Hitman series is awesome, and I'm a sucker for 007. So while it might seem a bit simplified compared to Hitman, I'm sure I'll be right at home.
