Also, sorry for excluding John Hurt from the poll, but I suppose it's safe to say he won't be the next Doctor. As another Doctor Who season draws to a close (depending on how you figure seasonal specials in) and the rumors surrounding Smith and Moffat's continued presence on the show after Christmas I thought some polls could be interesting.

(Vote): Rose Tyler A foreword on why I chose to list the following people for the next Doctor. Matt Smith is the current Doctor and has not yet confirmed whether he's staying or leaving after the Christmas special. Benedict Cumberbatch is the star of that Sherlock Holmes series and Khan in the new Star Trek movie; he has confirmed that he would like to play the Doctor. Helen Mirren is Helen Mirren; she has also confirmed that she would like to play the first female Doctor. David Mitchell was the joke filler option I chose; he beat out my other choices of Stephen Fry and Karl Pilkington. He's this guy: + Show Spoiler + Poll: If you could choose the Doctor for 2014, it'd be...

Apart from the bad ones, I also don't really feel that 11 is ever going to lose in the episodes unlike some of 10's. Tennent just had some real badass episodes. Every time he was in a spacesuit or a spaceship you know it was gonna be a sweet episode. I know 9 and 10 had some duff episodes too but they had memorable ones also. Clara is the hottest | ||

Amy was probably the closest thing to a traditional companion but her storyline still irked me. I kinda miss the relatable companions, like Martha and Donna. | ||

Also, I disliked how Martha was writtern, but that wasn't the actress' fault, they wrote her as the "not-Rose" and didn't really have the personality to make it her own. However, I loved Donna and Amy, and I feel like Clara will grow on me more. I like her. I just don't love like I do the others. On May 19 2013 23:57 urashimakt wrote: Oh, that pun.

I believe they said they are a-go for season 8, but that it might be both Smith's and Moffat's last. | ||

I believe they said they are a-go for season 8, but that it might be both Smith's and Moffat's last. That's true about complexity being a human trait. I probably should've specified timeline-importance complexity as opposed to personality complexity. River, Amy, and Clara have all been pretty tightly wound in the doctor's timeline in ways that the doctor doesn't understand. Before, the most complex a companion got was Rose sending the bad wolf messages backwards through time or Captain Jack being the face of Boe. Yeah, I think Matt Smith said on Friday something that intimated he'd be continuing on the next series. Moffat has said he'd like to continue, but BBC insiders have been reported as saying the BBC might be reconsidering him as showrunner after the Christmas special. All speculation. | ||

I'm ready for + Show Spoiler + The Time War I think Hurt is there because at the end of the timewar he regenerates into Eccleston's number 9. Hurt has to have come between McGanna and Eccleston in some way. Whether it be a legitimate regeneration into a number 9 who disavowed the name "doctor" or just a result of some form of timelock or aging before regeneration of Mcgann's doctor into Eccleston's doctor. Further more I would agree some of the writing this season wasn't the strongest. It doesn't help that we had one season spread across two years in a departure from the other seasons of WHO previous. Also a lack of 2 parters was also disappointing. I think the writing for this season was focused on a lot of one offs and less of a large continuing story line. I mean, the first half was this timey wimey mess of episodes before the Pond's left, and the second half is a bunch of snapshots that didn't feed much into the story of Clara as the impossible girl. I felt like only the Sweetville episode and this last one really took the "impossible girl" on as an important story element and added to the intrigue more strongly than the other episodes ever did. Especially with the "how can that be clara?" in Sweetville episode. | ||

It's apparently confirmed that Matt will be leaving after the Christmas episode. Source. I'll miss him, much like Eccleston (who I wish would rejoin us for the big 50th special) and Tennant (who thankfully we get to see one more time!) Ah, what a strange feeling. I wonder who will replace him... I doubt Cumberbatch very much even if I do love him. If anything, seeing him in Star Trek has reaffirmed my belief that he should be a Master at some point, drums and timelocks be damned. Very much so looking forward to November 23rd! So much waiting, with very little to tide me over in the meanwhile. | ||
