I know she's wanting to move on, as those Brit actors do, but damnit I don't want to see her go!

I'm a huge fan of her in the role, and I enjoyed Peter Capaldi before her, but honestly I haven't watched the show on a regular basis since the JNT episodes. But I appreciate DW for periodically allowing different actors to have the role, since after all...the Doctor is not human, and can change form on occasion! :)

I watch Doctor Who every time I can!

I would have, but I relocated and had a lot of other changes in my life at the time, and most of the time since then, but started watching to see Ms. Whitaker in the role...and I'm mostly back to stay now! But I'll miss her, and already miss Mr. Capaldi!

The last time I watched DW on a regular basis (before my life got very busy) was around 1990, so the last Doctor I watched on a regular basis was either Peter Davison or Colin Baker. I saw a bit of Mr. McCoy as the Doctor, met him over here in the states in 1989 or thereabouts, but right after that I moved to a different state. and missed the show for a long, long time. My favorite stories from the earlier series from the 1970s-80s were Logopolis and Earthshock. I watched some Pertwee stories, all of the Tom Baker stories, all of the Peter Davison stories, most of the Colin Baker stories, and a few of the Sylvester McCoy stories. Then the long lapse in my ability to watch the shows due to having a complicated life. So that's my honest excuse. Now I'm trying to get caught up a bit, lol.

Until Tennant happened, Tom Baker was the best hands down.

He certainly is the one who made the show very, very popular in the states! I had a friend in another city, who was practically begging me to make VHS tapes of all the Tom Baker stories! 

 

My own personal favorite actors in the role are probably Davison and Whitaker. And maybe Mr. Capaldi.

 

I've never seen a Tennant story, or Eccleston or Smith. I'm still trying to find the time to watch them all.

 

I did see several Hartnell, Troughton, and Pertwee stories, long ago.

I'm glad some folks still enjoy the show, but Dr Who is dead to me.  :(  Nothing against Whitaker in the role, it's Chibnall and his godawful writing that's the problem.  I'm not going back until he has left the building AND the whole Timeless Child crapfest is erased.  If RTD keeps it in... Well, I still have many decades of decent Dr Who to enjoy.

I liked Capaldi's Doctor. Was fun.

I think the first time I saw Mr. Capaldi in the role, was when the story broke about a regeneration to a female Doctor happening, and I saw a lengthy clip online of Capaldi changing into Whitaker. I loved Mr. Capaldi's very moving delivery of his final lines, as well as the stunning first appearance of Ms. Whitaker! That "grabbed" me and brought me back into the fold as a DW fan again, for the first time since the Sylvester McCoy era.

I just re-materialized, to say that I bought the DVD set of the 13th Series today at a local Barnes & Noble store for only $19.52 USD (30% discount off the regular store price, plus (minus?) my store membership discount. So not a bad deal at all!

 

I realize The Flux isn't all that popular with fans, but I'm one of those people who likes almost ANY Doctor Who story, as long as it doesn't have a "scary" pantomime horse-style monster. I hate silly monster costumes! 🐲👾👎

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
