Stormbringer 346 August 24, 2014 #1 Share August 24, 2014 Does Capaldi seem like a promising 13th Doctor to you or no? There's death from the beginning, to the end of time. And I'm the Cosmic Champion, and I hold a mystic sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonBrony 1,468 August 24, 2014 #2 Share August 24, 2014 He is 12th and he seems pretty good. I'm not sure if he is gonna be a favorite of mine but he does seem interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delernil 952 August 24, 2014 #3 Share August 24, 2014 Not my favorite, but YES! His accent is something that makes him amazing and he just feels really, really insane. Not the Tennant-Smith insane where they did crazy shit and got away with it, but he feels really insane as in he just got out of an asylum. AND I LOVE IT. I only love you platonically. As in plate tectonics. As in two bodies sliding against each other. <3 -Makusu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unikitty 1,212 August 24, 2014 #4 Share August 24, 2014 Definitely. I get giddy thinking of the tears shed by tweens across the world, as their precious waifus are replaced by a man of such mature stature. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11th Doctor Whooves 794 August 24, 2014 #5 Share August 24, 2014 I think he's gonna do a great job as the Doctor. He's definitely different from any of the newer doctors, I think, which is nice. I can't wait to see where this series leads us, and this first episode reminded me of a question I hadn't realized hadn't been answered......who gave Clara The Doctor's number? 1 Ask 11thDoctorWhooves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I loved Tennant & Smith, I think Capaldi will do a marvellous job if we give him a chance! Now with more added tea leaves!

Kay Dreamer 884 August 24, 2014 #10 Share August 24, 2014 It's been far too long since we've seen a cantankerous old man as The Doctor. As a fan of the older series, I heartily approve! Capaldi seems to be heralding a nice change of pace and tone. Plus, he has ATTACK EYEBROWS. Now if we could just have the lead writer regenerate, that would be fabulous. I respect Moffat's ability, but he does far better as a writer of singular episodes than he does as a show runner. Though I must give credit where's it's due; while the plot was a little thin at times in Deep Breath, the emotion in the acting and writing was spectacular, and the tone of the episode was trending toward something dark. The Doctor's raving to the homeless guy was as frightening as it was humorous, and those robot things were pretty darn terrifying. (Helped in no small part by the quality of Jenna Coleman's acting.) I feel very positive, and I absolutely cannot wait for more! 2 The Crystal Minstrel Pony Tumblr Kay Dreamer's Roleplay OC and Cast Character Archive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoisonClaw 8,166 August 24, 2014 #12 Share August 24, 2014 While he spent most of the first part loopy thanks to being freshly regenerated, what we did see was a welcome change. Peter Capaldi seems much more serious when compared to Matt Smith's almost zany antics, and has a hint of Ten in him that he was hesitant to personally kill the clockwork android (which was a nice call back to Girl in the Fireplace) . Though apparently Twelve is also part bloodhound now... MLPForums "Self-Proclaimed" Kamen Rider NutNow, count up your sins!I do Traditional commissions, by the way! See them HERE!

Commander Shep-herd 64 August 24, 2014 #13 Share August 24, 2014 Yeah, I think he's taken to the Doctors reigns real well. I'm hoping to see a more darker doctor and I think he can portray that quite well. Also it's nice to see that he's not so young anymore, in order to portray the Doctor's age and experience.

FoxyCryptid 4,330 August 24, 2014 #14 Share August 24, 2014 (Note, I'm only on season 3 of the new show) My worry from his statements is that his Doctor is going to be a Knight of Cerberus with a major attitude problem that sucks all the fun and humor out of the show and reduces the Doctor to cliche dark Anti-Hero like sci-fi and fantasy is already bloated with as it is. "You know, I don't know who or what you are Methos, and I know you don't want to hear this, but you did teach me something. You taught me that Life's about change, about learning to accept who you are, good or bad. And I thank you for that." -Duncan McLeod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackleberry 1,923 August 24, 2014 #15 Share August 24, 2014 Oh yeah, for sure!

Flytee 237 August 24, 2014 #16 Share August 24, 2014 GOD YES. I'm excited to see the Doctor as something other then fangirl bait. The fact he is darker, more agressive and less "ooo the human race is so wonderful <3" is also a massive bonus.

Mr. Critical 434 August 24, 2014 #17 Share August 24, 2014 Meh. he's no Matt Smith, but then again, there wont be another doctor like him again. Peter Capaldi is just getting started but he has a presence to him I like. Plus, its been a while since we've had an old doctor. And no, John Hurt doesn't count.

Thaliel 116 August 25, 2014 #18 Share August 25, 2014 Right when Capaldi was announced as the next Doctor, I already knew he would do great, and he is.

StellarSarahh 56 August 25, 2014 #19 Share August 25, 2014 OMG YES. I am actually too excited about it to really put it into words! I think he is going to be fantastic. I love that fact that he is older than what this younger generation of Doctor Who fans have been exposed to. I love his personality. I feel like it's much different from the previous Doctor's. I'm excited to see where this season takes him. Moffat is gonna frickin' rock this. And Capaldi will do it justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix Flair 332 August 25, 2014 #23 Share August 25, 2014 Nope, and I have no shame saying so. If all the "true fans" want to lecture me for saying he's too old, because in Classic Who they had Doctors just as wrinkled or something, that's just fine. I don't care. I only started watching DW for the contemporary stuff, which includes having younger, more relateable Doctors, and so I'm not gonna jump for joy over the Capaldi pick. Still, I dunno Capaldi that well, so I haven't made my final decision yet, and won't till I see the show. But I've a sneaking suspicion they picked a less exciting Doctor on purpose for number 12.5, so that when they reveal the most epic casting choice EVER for 13 it will be that much cooler.

Vertigo_95 572 August 27, 2014 #25 Share August 27, 2014 (edited) "I'M SCOTTISH." He is Scottish. That should be enough reason to like him, but it was only the first episode.
