cornerofmadnessUnlike a lot of my friends, I'm very apprehensive about the new Doctor. While I think Peter Capaldi is a fine actor, my Doctor has always been young. I'm really not looking forward to old skool Doctor because I didn't like the old Dr. Who.
I'm definitely a fan of the reboot. I have tried so many times. I just don't like it. I tried hard last year with the revisit with each and every one of them and I still didn't connect. I'm reading this book and it's teaching me a lot (I find it a good read filled with all sort of production gems but I'm not sure if there is anything new in it for the old-time fan). I've gotten a new point of view on the daleks and cybermen (and I'm still tired to death of them, sorry) and understand their importance to the fandom more.
That said, I'm not sure I want a cantankerous old man (granted Capaldi isn't THAT old). I'm used to a level of energy and insanity (not that he might not bring that too).
I am, however, more than ready for the end of the flirtation between the Doctor and his companion. I hate the Rose/10 thing. And Clara does diddly for me (other than thinking, gosh, she's cute).
I'm trying not to prejudge things and yes, I will be watching it tomorrow. Mom, on the other hand is prejudging (If I wanted to look at an old man, I'd look at your father!)
