Cake for Brains wrote:Yep, I'm very much looking forward to it. It feels like ages since the last series ended - I don't think we've ever had to wait this long since the show returned in 2005 for new episodes. Ordinarily, the prospect of yet another Dalek story would make me groan, but I'm intrigued to see Moffat's take on them (he's not tackled a Dalek story yet). The reviews - all very positive - suggest that we're going to see a new spin on them and that they are back to being properly scary again. Fingers crossed.

Yep, could do with a decent dalek story. The last one was a waste of time. I don't think i gave it too hard a time at broadcast, but i caught a repeat and it really was a terrible dilution of their character. Reminded me of Joel Schumacher turning Burton's Batman franchise into a technicolour joke. And to be fair, Moffat's got to be held responsible for allowing it to go out. Let's hope he can give them back some lost threat.
Caught Karen Gillan on The One Show tonight. Looking good.
Edit: Oh and happy birthday, Paul, wherever you are

Calling it now, River somehow reverts to a child, and Amy and Rory are given the opportunity to raise her properly, giving them the child they want and River the childhood she deserved. That might be a bit too Disney-happy for Doctor Who, but a man can dream.
