Well, Season 4 has come and gone and man, what can you say about a finale like that? Very emotional and crazy two-parter. It was great to see the former companions come back, it's always a treat to see Captain Jack. Might have to start watching Torchwood just because of him. And of course it was great to see Rose back, she's still my favorite companion. There were a few moments where I had my jaw to the floor, and honestly couldn't predict what was coming next. The end of The Stolen Earth was crazy, I couldn't believe. The way the handled it in the next episode also worked great, and I was glad to see Tennant return (even though I know he's leaving shortly). The ending of the finale was amazing. I keep wondering how this show is going to top it's previous finale, and they've succeeded my expectations each time. Donnas departure from the series is the most depressing companion ending yet. Donna really grew as a character, and I'm sad to see her go. Also the ending with Rose and The Doctor was nice, good to finally see a happy ending with Rose. Now, onto the Specials! Watching the Christmas one now, and holy shit, its The Governor! Cool.

Doctor Number 12 is being revealed this Sunday night. Can't wait. One can only hope...... I'm finally caught up on Doctor Who, can't wait until the 50th Anniversary, and then seeing the new Doctor in the Christmas Special. Though the regeneration probably won't happen until near the end of the episode, so I'm sure we won't see much of the new Doctor.

It's a real shame that we have to wait that long, but at least by then we'll have the 50th Anniversary Special and 2013 Christmas Special to watch over and over again.

Anyone else going to have an extremely hard time adjusting from not having Matt Smith? I've only watched the 3 doctors (so 05 - present), but Smith was the one that really captivated me personally. I think the 11th hour just stands out so strongly as an introductory to the character that I was hooked from that point on. I always liked Tennant but never in a way that had me emotional to see him go. This time though, I'm not happy haha. I do like Clara, but it feels like we didn't get enough time with them together. I thought we were getting one more season with Smith and so his exit caught me off guard.
As for the new Doctor, I'm pulling for Richard Madden. Maybe that's too ridiculous because he would be dating his companion in real life, but I grew to really like him in GoT. That would really ease the pain of losing Matt Smith if it was someone I already enjoyed. Plus, I think he could be a more dry and serious Doctor, which is what I personally need (a dramatic change). I'm excited to see who it will be though. I'm hoping it's someone who grabs me right away. I don't know if I can deal with giving it half a season or whatever to get adjusted to the new guy. For me, the Doctors get progressively better every time, so I'm hoping that continues.
Really looking forward to the 50th. I think Smith and Tennant together is going to be awesome, and I'm a big fan of Rose Tyler returning.

I had a hard time letting Tennant go, I could never really get into Smith's series, so I've seen a handful of episodes since the regeneration.

It sounds like the new doctor is going to be someone well established which I thought wouldn't happen. I think it's got to be someone fairly young to keep the young viewers. I don't have anyone who I particularly want. Idris Elba is fantastic and on the shortlist. But the rumour going round for ages about him is that he's going to be the next James Bond, which would suit him much better. I'm looking forward to the reveal, whoever it is is going to break Google with everyone searching his (or even her) name.

I really hope the rumors of it being Rupert Grint aren't true. I'm kind of hoping its somebody unknown so I'm just seeing them as The Doctor and not as an actor/character I already know.

What do you mean, "how can he play James Bond"? Unless you mean how can he play a role that already has an actor. It's quite simple, Daniel Craig isn't going to want to play bond forever, he'll probably pack it in after the next one. The role opens up for the next bond, in steps Elba. Elba could add a darker bad ass feel to it.

It's not as if all the Bond's are the same person at different ages. It simply doesn't matter and he's been linked with the role for ages. Hell, even in BBC's shortlist of the next Doctor they mention it. I really don't think it matters. Anyway let's keep this thread to Doctor Who.

Anyway, back onto the topic of the actor cast as the Twelfth Doctor.
I don't care who it is, as long as it is someone middle-aged or in their 20s. Just as long as they don't get someone in their 70s doing it. While Pertwee was a decent Doctor, he was too old for my liking. I'd also really dislike if they had a posh British accent. It would be even worse if they were not British.

Pertwee was 50 when he took the role, so I'd say that's still middle age. He was great because he was dashing, knew martial arts, and had a sweet car. Actually, I wouldn't mind seeing his son Sean take the role. He's a really good actor too. Either way, I can't wait until 2pm tomorrow, which is when they're showing the special in the US, EST. I love that it's being done at the same time in both countries. best way ever to avoid internet spoilers. Whoever it's going to be, I'm looking forward to the announcement.
