The opening was so terrible I turned it off after ~4 minutes. And no, it isn't because it is simply a new Doctor, I enjoyed the transition from 9 to 10 and even 10 to 11, but this one, nope. I might watch it one day, but a year clearly isn't enough for me to enjoy this new Doctor.

As far as spoilers I think that so long as the episode has not aired it is a spoiler. and for those that have released perhaps a week of spoiler tags is alright being that a lot of people DVR stuff.

 

and as far as

Clara leaving goes. I am not really sure how she is on the top list yet but a lot of the older companions only lasted a few episodes so it makes since. I do not really mind her leaving. She is fun but with the new tone of the Doctor she does not really fit all that well.

 

Not even close. Frazier Hines (Jamie) appeared in all but one of the 2nd

Doctor's stories in his 3 year run, and the seasons were a lot longer back then.

Liz Sladen/Sarah Jane had a similarly long run. Nick Courtney appeared with all

7 of the original series Doctors (8 if you count Richard Hurndall as 1 in

the Five Doctors). As Bret Vyon with Hartnell and the Brig with the

rest.

I already like Peter, and considering it took me more than a season to warm up to Matt even slightly, that's a very good sign.

 

But then I prefer an older Doctor anyway.

Wow, never expected a continuation (kinda?) of The Girl in the Fireplace storyline. The end with Matt Smith, made me shed a tear or two, plus I didn't expect to SEE him, only hear him. Plus there. And the end end..um ok? I bet that's River heh. An evil snorting River Song.

Really enjoyed the ep. Started off a bit slow but then as it progressed, the Doctors character really shined through and the chemistry between him and Clara came on and was brilliant.

Wow, a whole four minutes? You really gave it a good try didn't you?


 

I think you can calm down with the spoiler tags son. That's an officially released trailer from the BBC, by it's very definition it's not a spoiler.

I didn't think the episode itself was great but I do like the older doctor compared to the younger one Matt played, not that I didn't like his doctor either but it feels more natural when they're older IMO.

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

      No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350.

    • 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.
