Easter is coming up quick and the new Dr. Who is starting to look more promising.

I keep forgetting where to find the good Doctor. And I've yet to see the finale of the previous Dr's ..... man, I suck as a Dr Who fan.
Summer Glau can simply walk into Mordor
Bones: "Don't 'rawr' her!"
Booth: "What? she'rawred' me first."

Loved David Tenent, but I've been a fan since the Tom Baker days, so I'm looking forward to see what the new series brings. Just hoping for another season of Torchwood.

I don't know...this new guy just seems waaaaaaay too young to be the Doctor. And, I hate to say it, but I'm starting to get a little tired of seeing the Daleks or Cybermen every so many episodes.
I was hoping when Steve Moffat took over that he would find new and interesting villains for the Doctor to defeat.
Will all that said, the second trailer does look better than the first one.

You know you're getting old when the Doctors start to look too young... Let's see if the actor can deliver the "old spirit in a young body" thing as advertised. I'm inclined to agree, though, that a 900 year-old Time Lord shouldn't need to show ID to buy a beer.
And Daleks are just, well, compulsory, or it wouldn't be Doctor Who. It'll only be a couple of episodes out of the series. Unless Stephen Moffat has been exterminated and replaced by his rubbish Doppelganger I expect we'll see something new.
I'm more worried about the Weeping Angels coming back - Blink was such a perfect episode it should have a preservation order slapped on it.

Well, the Doctor only has a couple of regenerations left, so there may be a point to getting younger and younger (eventually, he'll have to break the "12 regenerations" rule). It also makes a neat association with Merlin, who "aged backwards."
Though part of me can't help but think of this guy as Doctor Hitsugaya ( http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/T%C5%8Dshir%C5%8D_Hitsugaya). 
And that Dalek in the trailer is wearing a utility belt and a Union Jack decal. . .

Methinks they'll wave their hands and make that one go away. However, ISTR the Master got around it by taking over a new body - putting the Doctor in a position where he is forced to do the same (for unselfish reasons, of course) could be interesting...

I'd say its the new assistant who looks a bit manga...

Looks almost like Daleks interfering in World War 1 or 2 - now that could be an interesting scenario.

I too have been around since Tom Baker so a new regeneration is nothing new to me but it is a big thing. You get used to the fuss and commotion that seems to surround the newer series.
It is hard when a great Doctor leaves but I have hope for the new guy. My biggest fear was that they'd aim him at the teen market but that doesn't appear to be the case. They have a great writer/producer at the helm who most people will agree has written the best episodes if the newer series. So that's very promising.
At the end of the day the show will be what it always has been, even during the lesser Doctors times.
It will be Doctor Who (and all that it encompasses).
Also I read that characters from previous shows are going to be featured in this next series - and that's it. After that it will be new characters only. Don't quite know what to make of that if there's any truth to it.

Moffat's said that no old companions are returning but we will see a few familiar faces.
The Daleks and Cybermen apparently only have one episode each but we'll see other old school enemies. Possibly not the Myrka though:

The image of The Doctor, with a gun in his hand is just wrong. I'm a strong pro-gun supporter, but The Doctor has always managed to get by just fine without guns.
I'd given some thought to movin' off the edge -- not an ideal location -- thinkin' a place in the middle.
