    Question: If Peter Capaldi doesn’t sign on again for series 9, which actor would you like to see play the Doctor and why?

    I’d like to discuss some of the answers I receive in my next podcast. Thank you!

    @Purofilion Sorry if this is a long reply, but I feel as if there is quite a bit to be said in response. I’d like to start out by letting you know that I appreciate your response and respect your opinion. With that being said, I want to clarify that I was sharing an opinion as well. I also have reasons for my opinion, much like you have for yours.
    You stated “The relationship is more complicated. Even at Christmas, Clara (in asking him to be her boyfriend) doesn’t act the typical ‘giggly, I’m in love with you, silly’ theme. She’s excited; she uses the doctor to obtain restaurant bookings and to engineer other machinations.” I think it is important that I make it clear that I am aware that when Clara asks this of the doctor she is not being serious. She was in a bind and he was her solution. I believe anyone watching the show and anyone able to comprehend basic human interaction was able to understand that she wasn’t asking him for any reason other than to avoid explaining to her family that she did not actually have a boyfriend. My opinion on Clara’s feelings towards the Doctor stem from actions and certain moments shared between them. Not because I am fishing for an outright confession of love. I pull from moments such as in the Christmas special, when Clara’s gran tells a story about seeing her husband standing there and never wanting him to change. I’ve been in love and have lost it as well. Clara’s reaction to that story was pure heartache. Heartache that can only come from truly loving someone. Now, one could argue that she was just in love with the adventure and the friendship the Doctor gave to her, but in my opinion she wouldn’t have clung to the TARDIS for hundreds of years to get back to him. Also in the Christmas special ‘The Snowmen’ Clara kisses the Doctor (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjs6fXIJiZ4) so I think it is fair to say there is a possibility that she could have feelings for him in a recent incarnation as the Impossible Girl as well.
    I’d also like to address my statement “I don’t think that Rose shacked up with Mickey as soon as she was torn away from the 10th. At least not right away” The “At least not right away” was meant to be sarcastic. which is why the inflection in my voice changed when I said it. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE Doctor Who, but at the end of the day its still just a television show. So please know that though I am passionate about it, I like to keep things light and fun as well. So no, I most definitely did NOT take offense when you wrote “have you watched those series?” First of all because the answer is yes; many times. Secondly, because we have the exact same opinion regarding Mickey and Rose. Plus, I would be worried if I ever became genuinely offended just because someones opinion differed from my own.
    I hope this helped to clarify things for you a bit. I thank you again for your response, and I look forward to your feedback in the future.

    When it comes to Peter Capaldi, my only concern is his outfit. Seriously…he looks like a magician. I have no worries when it comes to his acting capabilities. I am more worried about the direction Moffat will decide to go. For me, Moffat either makes brilliant decisions, or terrible ones. I think the show, as well as the new Doctor will be great as long as Moffat keeps in mind two key things –

    1. Doctor Who is not his creation. He needs to keep reminding himself of who the Doctor is at his core so he doesn’t begin to create a new man entirely.

    2. It is no longer 1963. Don’t get me wrong, the show was just as fantastic in the 60’s as it is today. However; a few things could play out as more campy than cool for today’s viewers. For example, if Capaldi started using Venusian Aikido to fend off an enemy… I may have to turn off my television.

    Of course I will just have to wait and see what Moffat has in store for us. Until then I will just hope for the best (and pray to god old Bessie doesn’t make an appearance).

    I have mixed feelings about Samuel Anderson’s new character, Danny Pink. I’d like to know everyone’s thoughts on the rumors suggesting that he may be Clara’s new love interest. You can listen to my opinion here – https://soundcloud.com/missshannonkent/doctor-who-news-2-28
