12th Doctor Who is revealed!

[mercynova]

It's official!

It's Peter Capaldi... What do we think?

 

[lemontwist]

I'm excited! But he was actually already a one-time character in DW so I'm really hoping Moffat isn't planning something with that. I don't even see how he could, but I mean. It's Moffat. xD

Karen Gillan was in the same episode, and ended up lasting a long time on the show as a companion.

Hmm, seems okay I guess. I'm used to young'uns, but it's okay.

[coinoperatedgirl]

But I'm absolutely stoked about this choice.  Capaldi is phenomenal.

Plus, Capaldi is a long-time Whovian, so this is just super special!  Can't wait!!

Still waiting to see how John Hurt is going to fit in.  When I heard that he was going to play the Doctor, I flipped.

Oh, November, you are certainly my favorite month!!

coinoperatedgirl- That's true and I'm glad he didn't try to use it, but I also see some parallels between that episode and Amy's story arc (soothsayers turning to stone- Amy "turns to stone" from weeping angels; seeing into the future via time rift from explosion- a similar idea of a time and space rip messes with Amy's whole life) so I don't know, it's an interesting coincidence at least.

I'm still excited though, don't get me wrong! I'm just not a fan of Moffat at all.

I am very excited for next year

[kaoskat]

I hope you guys like him and he makes your show awesome!

My husband likes him but I was a bit suprised by the choice and I am reserving judgement! big change from david tennant/matt smith.....

That's the whole point - every Doctor is a big change.  That's what makes him The Doctor

Also he played W.H.O Doctor on World War Z so it was destined to be.

[hathorcat]

He is Scottish...need I say more?

[rearing_palomino164]

I've never watched it. I feel like I might like, but with all of the seasons, I don't know where to start without getting confused.

[Rosencrantz]

No, that's only if he loses to the Daleks. If he wins, he's British.
