Ryn Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Great actress BUT she really spooks me. I think the 13th incarnation should be a woman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driver Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I feel like it would be too polarizing. I hoep he goes even younger and is a 10 year old boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driver Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Really? you blame Smith more than Moffat? I feel like you dismissed his run they day it was announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gman Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Actually, I really don’t blame Smith as much as Moffat. I am, VERY skeptical of Smith’s acting abilities as most of his portrayal of 11 has been nothing but one dimensional. And yes, that is comparing him with the previous 10. But I do blame the format (45 minutes of fast talking and minimal character development), a doctor that’s written as one who has completely forgot his own memories (constantly questioning on how things are done on Earth), and one who just basically runs around and uses his tricorder (oh wait, I mean Sonic Screwdriver) to solve every problem. Smith has always claimed that Troughton is his inspiration for his manic portrayal. But what’s forgotten (either Smith, Moffat, the directors, and who else knows) is that ALL the previous Doctors either played the fool at the expense of the adversary or got deadly serious when the reveal was needed. Smith’s portrayal is that only of the town idiot. Why do I question his acting ability? One scene sums it all up. In “The Crimson Horror” when the Doc is finally unfrozen he leaps out of the chamber and he is his normal manic smiling hands flailing all about idiot. ANY other Doctor would have continued to be serious for the concern of the situation at hand and the whereabouts of his companion. This was a scene that should have allowed Smith to act out some real chops. Instead, it was business as usual for the fool. It’s been this way for his entire run and it’s the reason I have not bought a single DVD of the Doc 11 era when I bought all the other DVD releases of the new series up until Smith’s.

Ryn Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Don't forget to mention you hated the spit-talking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gman Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 ^THIS! Spitting on the Tardis seconds after the regeneration and then the food scene in "The Eleventh Hour" made me nauseous. So again, not sure if it's Moffat, directors, (lack of acting) ability on Smith's part, or any combination. All who have been here for some time know I am know fan of this particular incarnation.

Rogue 3 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Link below to an article about the drama coming up which details how the series got started, with an eerily accurate image of David Bradley as William Hartnell in full 1st Doctor costume. http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-23267085 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driver Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I have been saying for years they could recast lookalikes for multi-Doctor story. This just proves it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gman Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 They were filming this at the same time as the 50th Anniversary Special. I am REALLY hoping that they utilized Bradley and just haven’t told us. Plus, Bradley really needs to redeem himself after killing all those Starks at the wedding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue 3 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Yeah, 7pm here in the uk and also on BBC America I believe. Peter Capaldi seems to be someone they've at least spoken to as his odds at the bookies came a heck of a lot this week, but none of us knew who Matt Smith was, so they could pick an unknown again! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-23531724 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Good, I'm glad they've gone with an older actor this time. I was halfway expecting a teenager or something. ha... World War Z W.H.O. Doctor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Biff from the Future Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Good, I'm glad they've gone with an older actor this time.

Cerina Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Caecilius from the Fires of Pompeii episode. Now they should do some sort of retconning that put the 12th Doctor and Amy there while 10 and Donna were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Human Torch Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 ^Time Wonkiness/Crossovers are always fun. With that said, it's not the first time an actor reappears as another character in Who. Martha, Amy and even the 6th Doctor all appeared in the series before being cast in their famous roles. As for Capaldi being cast I feel the special reveal might not have been a good idea, it feels anti-climatic. I dig his look he brings however. He looks like David Copperfield and as we all know The Doctor is a bit of a magician anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driver Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I WAS RIGHT!!! And I too am glad for an older Doc again. Given what he's been through with the last three bodies, a more mature disposition would help him deal with the loss and be less manic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue 3 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 He's a great actor, very pleased with him being picked. Playing Malcolm Tucker in "The Thick of It" was a fantastic performance. He sounds like a real fan of the series, even having written a letter to a national paper at the age of 15!Talking of age, was surprised to hear that only Hartnell was older when taking on the role (only slightly - both 55). Complete change from Matt Smith's youngest!Really looking forward to seeing his Doctor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driver Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Yeah, it's funny how a 21st century 55 is still considered youngish. Put Capaldi next to Pertwee and Pertwee seems ancient-- even though he would have been younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
