I see Capaldi in a long, black, tailored coat with the collar turned up.

I felt like they more or less thought "I may get killed under his care despite his best efforts," rather than "this guy is legitimately insane and may not hold my survival as a priority".

We need to see forced lip service to "diversity" that makes no discernible difference because that makes us feel like good people without actually having to do anything.

Also, the fandom would see every weakness or failure as a direct condemnation of her time-vagina, thus cementing Moffat as an unrepentant sexist because he dared to write a woman with a flaw.

Matt Smith got angry, but he never seemed dangerous. Capaldi will definitely seem dangerous. I'd like some companion to finally have to think, shit, this guy may actually get me killed.

Jack: "Wait…you look familiar this time…"
Doctor: "Nope! Moving on!"
CONTINUITY RESTORED

She saves the universe from imploding with nothing but a mother's love.

It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded.

Nah then he'd just be James Bond in space and wait that would be awesome nevermind let's make that happen.

Instead of awkward inapropriate romantic feelings the young female companion can have awkward inappopriate paternal feelings.

To be fair, the home planet was returning to him.

Paul F. Tompkins as Andrew Lloyd Webber as the Twelfth Doctor.

Doctor Who Wants to be A Millionaire?

Tennant made me love the show, but Smith made me love the Doctor. He captured the childlike wonder against the infinitely-old-alien thing perfectly. I also don't think anyone can top Smith's outfit — that bow tie was the shit.

Idris Elba? Idris Elba.

You mean "Ethan Hooawk".

Already happened in that horrendous Torchwood miniseries (a "Starz Original"!) so no one will ever want to recall that by casting him in that way ever again. Sad part is he was actually kinda half decent in it.

It's also easy to forget that she and Andy were once a thing, because their relationship was so completely inessential.

I do like that he can basically introduce the segment by just raising one eyebrow, though.
