I'm really excited about Capaldi. It's unfortunate, as Jiro said, that this episode was kinda pissed on by the fact that everybody already knew about the new Doctor - they really smurfing should have kept that secret, the silly blighters. But god damn, it's Capaldi. I can't wait.

I've wanted an older, hopefully somewhat grumpier, Doctor for a while. I loved... argh, I forget which one, but I loved the Doctor that kept getting bothered by having to save humans. I'm hoping Malcolm Tucker will be less "Oh, humans I love you, oh please I want your Earthticles in and around my mouth". I loved Eccleston, Tennant and Smith to bits, and I'm very confident I'll love Capaldi; I just hope the writers aren't afraid to get their feet a bit wet and their hands a little dirty with him. I'd like to see more of a Doctor who does what's necessary, as I feel this will draw the writers away from their repeated use of miracles and deus ex machina to solve their problems.

AHHEHEHEHEEEE. I can't wait till August.
