Things like the TARDIS being bigger on the inside

That's one thing they didn't always do in classic Who. I did like The Doctor's failed attempt in explaining it to Leela in The Robots of Death.

I cried a bit a few times, but when Clara popped in for that two line little cameo I was like OK Moffat you got me. I didn't even find Clara that good to be honest - but Capaldi's Doctor did and you can see it in his face. Plus he got the memories back, so yeah. So many (SO MANY) callbacks to the older series (and I mean older as in like, old lol) but also callbacks to the current run. I believe this was Murray Gold's last Doctor Who also if I'm not mistaken. So all the Doomsday and what not music beats were great to hear again.

 

I loved it personally. I know not everyone did and that's fine. I liked Jodie's small little thing of course and I'm waiting with baited breath for 2019? for the new series. Also, no one else thought the Tardis literally threw her out because it has to redo the inside again? Like doesn't the Tardis do that every time now? :D

2019?!!?!?!

The Orville season 2 is also 2019 :( 

Wait what? I thought it was coming back this Fall? I wonder if its because the ratings aren't there (could have sworn it had decent enough ratings though) or its time slot etc. Shame all the good shows are so far away now. Westworld is also 2019 no? Meh.

Westworld is spring 2018,... Orville is 2019 because they need time to do the effects and stuff.

While we're talking about shows that are getting pushed back another year, 2018 is going to be another huge year for anime. 2012-2013 brought us Attack on Titan and Sword Art Online, which pretty much brought anime into the mainstream for a while (and put huge targets on the backs of those shows by fans who want to keep the fandom small), but they're both getting a third season this year. Titan had its second season last year after a four year break. While Titan is Renaissance era survival horror, SAO is aimed more at the sci-fi crowd, tapping Tron and The Matrix (and actually semi-adapting an older anime series) to spin a tale of a VR game with deadly consequences. And of course no shortage of pretty girls to latch onto the main guy, including his sister, because anime. They're actually getting two seasons, a mainline third season and a spinoff. Tokyo Ghoul, a supernatural horror series, and A Certain Magical Index, a supernatural/school life series, are also getting third seasons.

 

I know which way the anime thread is, but while we're talking about Westworld and Orville and STD, I figure these are or could be just as relevant to DW fans.

Oh right, I forgot Westworld came out in 2016, not 2017 lol Mannnnn, 2019 woulda sucked real bad for Westworld if that was the case.

 

But yeah, a ton of shows delay returns because they don't want to put to much out there or because the creative team needs the time to make *good* TV and not rushed TV.

And isn't Sherlock like 4 or 5 episodes max for a series/season anyway? Sucks fans have to wait so long for new episodes and then you only get a few of them (unless they are like 2 hours long or something, which I doubt).

They are pretty long ... about an hour and a half.  3 episodes per season... about 2-3 years between each season.  I'll probably wait until they wrap everything up to watch them all .. I've seen season 1 and 2...but dang if I can't remembered what happened.

New logo looks a bit Strange to me... I'm sure it'll grow on us. Wonder if we'll get a new theme and opening. I just hope they keep that thing they used to do and brought back for Capaldi, where the Doctor's face is shown in the clouds or a nebula or whatever. They didn't do it with Nine or Ten and I think it started with Twelve, though Eleven's last year may have had it, too. I don't quite remember. TARDIS redesigns are always nice. Who got the round seal back? I believe that was Eleven. And a finer grain finish, I think they just replaced the TARDIS prop entirely. There isn't much they can change about it (it's really just a box) but it's nice to be wowed. Of course it's a given they'll change the interior. (I'd love to have a man cave inspired by one of the TARDIS interiors. Without looking at them again, I think Eleven had my favorite.

New logo...

I like it... very minimalist.

 

There were a few people saying the new logo gives a nod to the new Doctor being female, if you rotate it 90 degrees anti-clockwise, the O forms the feminine symbol. Whether that's by design, who knows.

 ... and the D in Doctor looks like a shovel head, which fits the quality of writing for the last several years. :(

Good thing they've got a new writer in then!

    • Motrix Next 3.9.4

      By Copernic · Posted

      Motrix Next 3.9.4 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management. Motrix Next features: Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons) Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection Motrix Next 3.9.4 changelog: Motrix Next 3.9.4 promotes the 3.9.4 beta cycle to stable. This release refreshes bundled engine binaries, improves task detail readability and copy actions, expands link handling for magnet and ED2K workflows, polishes responsive navigation and text wrapping, updates browser extension documentation, and refines network preference controls. New Features Task Detail copy actions — Added copyable values for task metadata and reusable render functions for long text fields. Magnet and ED2K lifecycle support — Added task lifecycle handling for magnet and ED2K links. History cleanup for deleted tasks — Deleted tasks can now remove matching history records. User-Agent management — Added user-agent management and improved related network preference controls. Browser extension documentation — Added the Firefox Add-ons link for the Motrix Next extension.

      NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.

      TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.

      Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
