[Official] Doctor Who Thread


Recommended Posts

As much as I liked the current season of doctor who the show needed a change, it just really sucks that this year all we are getting is a Christmas special. I was really looking forward to seeing the new companion this year.

Apparently there are rumours that Capaldi will step down in 2017 for Chris to choose his own Time Lord. Whether it was the writing or the actor I don't know but Capaldi's has never felt like a great Dr for me so sad we'll not get much in 2016 but looking forward to what's in store for 2017.

It's pretty much deduction, every writer will want to create his own doctor, pride and all that jazz, though IMO, one would better prove himself by fixing a mess then by starting a clean slate. Starting over just because, says so Little about the writes and producers :/ 

I have to say, this season and the christmas really made capaldi for me... because his first season, see below :/

I hope Capaldi doesn't leave yet - we haven't really seen what he can do, thanks to the poor writing.

agreed, if anything  we saw glimpses of Capaldi's possibilities this last season.

Well, well. It seems she'll be a good fit. Bit of a nerd (to appeal to the Osgood fans), bit of whimsy .. she'll do fine, I think.

 

What I'm more concerned with is whether they replace Capaldi or not just for the sake of replacing him due to the staffing changes in the show. That would be a mistake, imo; but it's up to Capaldi if he himself wants to stay on or not. I'd like him to stay, personally. He finally hit his stride last Series, and I think Series 10 will be even better if they give him the right material to work with.

There's something about her I don't like. Her face is weird looking to me (and I really really don't like saying that) especially in that framing from above they kept doing. I mean, I like her care free kinda attitude for this trailer about the Daleks and all, but she's weird? I dunno. I won't pass judgement until she's on the show of course.

Unless my memory is bad, is this the first series where we haven't had an actual new series but get a Christmas special in a year? I'm pretty sure the last series ended last year no? Weirdness. At least we get new Doctor Who for the holidays which is always a welcome thing in my eyes.

    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
