For half a second, I had to make sure it wasn't that The Red Pill arse again.

Funny, I just looked him up last night while watching The Thick of It and saw he was in his early 40's. I was stunned.

I don't get it.

Yeah, but Grown Ups 2 did really well a few weeks back so I think that just evens out.

The reviews for it look tepid at best. I'm curious to see how that does.

Someone mentioned Tilda Swinton for The Master. I'd like that. She'd be too intense to play the Doctor, I think.

It's amusing to me that this is framed in such a way that commenters are reading it both as "Why do people want a female or nonwhite doctor?" or "Why would someone be so upset over a female or nonwhite doctor?"

Ah, here is a comment I can agree with.

To be fair, my dislike of Betty Draper is just because that character was and continues to be horribly written. I kept waiting for them to do something interesting with her, but they only do so in fits and starts.

I was really bummed about Catherine Tate note necessarily Donna (seriously, her British "humor" shit is the worst).

@avclub-edb4298fb247e84edd2dd6fe38c9ab78:disqus I would love it to be Tom Hollander if only so they could spend an entire episode reenacting all their scenes in In the Loop.

@avclub-52daa17a306006563a5361c316f87c7b:disqus That's one of the reasons I wish Eccelston stuck around longer. I could really buy him as a dude that had to "kill" off his entire race and was still carrying around the scars.

I think them actually having to address it is what would make it interesting. At the same time, you…

Maybe if I just keep it closely croppedish until more parts have grown fuller then just slowly let the whole thing out? I suppose that could work.

If I want to read Morrison's run where do I start?

Well, this is most awful.

Yeah was about to point that out. Behold, everyone: http://bit.ly/17mnakG
