Fantastic choice. I hope that he will bring a more serious approach to the role since it has gotten a bit silly as of late. Some episodes feel like a CBBC programme.
I'm actually excited about the next series for the first time since Matt Smith took over.
I've liked Matt Smith a lot more than the other newer ones.
I don't think you can blame an actor for the writing decisions.
Hey I like'd Matt's silliness. And cbbc gave us SJA. so shush.
Anyways, no John Hurt is a secret, a past doctor, who broke the promise. (11th doctor can't know his future selfs.) Also in Let's Kill Hitler River gave the rest of her regeneration energy to heal the doctor. How many of that is left over we don't know maybe a few regens. In the classic series they could only regen aboiut 12 times. a limit that lifted during the time war, and now the Doctors the last one, so is there a limit anymore? Also how does the process work, Romana did atleast 6 regens in a few mins having fun (4th Doc).
Also Moffat has been having Matt get darker, mainly due to S6 being about him reflecting on himself and S7 was about ghost, what haunts him. And he brought up the Valeyard in the Finale. So he may very well be a darker more stern doctor.
I was hoping he'd be Hartnel's Doctor himself, since he's around the same age.
Has the episode just aired in America lately or did I miss a newer episode? nvm, just watched the live thingy.
He's a weird-looking guy, hopefully he can act away some of his quirks with the facial expressions.
