I wonder if the Angels will have the same music as before... Or a similar sounding thing...
I bought the DW soundtracks and after a couple of days I deleted that track. It would come on and I'd remember the episode and become terrified again. XD

I'll watch the trailer tomorrow later today. ^_^

Perhaps not the best time... I don't want to see the Lonely Assassins just before I go to sleep.

The new executive producer is the guy who wrote the scary stories... Steven Moffat, I think...

It'll probably get a lot scarier now. He wrote Blink, so it's natural he'd reuse his monsters.

Rose and Donna wouldn't have let the Doctor do something as foolish as fall in love with Joan Redfern while he was a human. I always found them stronger and more likeable characters.

Plus they don't make a fuss about being engaged to a hunky man then suddebly for no reason end up married to someone else with no mention of her supposed fiance. =_=

If I read right, Moffat is also good at making funny episodes. He wrote the Comic Relief parody - The Curse of Fatal Death - I saw it on the net the other day and I found it very funny. It'll probably be on Youtube somewhere too.

So for all we know, we could see some rather comedic episodes to come too.

I've seen that too. It's great! According to Wikipedia, Steven Moffat used to write sitcoms, so there will probably be some funny lines in his scripts.

Also, I think that River Song was in that trailer but with different hair.

And there are rumors that Neil Gaiman has written an episode! Neil Gaiman! If you don't know who that is, he wrote Coraline and Stardust and American Gods. He's practically a god himself, of the fantasy genre.

I was totally going to watch that trailer until I saw this.
I have literally frozen in fear in my chair at the very thought of it. They cannot bring back the Weeping Angels. Those two disgraced timelords kneeling like that in the last episode was enough to scare me terribly, and then there was that two second clip in DW Confidential...
I actually can't watch Blink again, and I certainly never want to watch a new episode starring those terrifying creatures. I've barely stopped having nightmares since last time! D=

Words cannot describe how terrified I am of them. My hands are shaking now just at the prospect of seeing them again! I mean, Blink was enough to make me scared of the dark again; scared of not being able to see what's nearby and I jump ten feet in the air if the lights suddenly go out, especially if I'm on my own.
I mean, I can feel my heart rate rising and tears beginning to form behind my eyes, I'm that terrified.

What am I going to do? Skip an episode of Doctor Who? I can't do that! But at the same time, I really can't watch more Weeping Angels. I mean, I really. Can't. Ever again.
It sounds stupid, I know. And I've seen the men behind the masks, the behind the scene stuff. I know it's not real... And it's silly to be so terrified by a simple quantum locked alien... But I just can't help it.


I don't even have David Tennant on screen to comfort me anymore... ;_;

When I heard DT was leaving, I had doubts about whether I'd enjoy series 5 as much. When I saw a picture of Eleven, my doubts grew.
Now I know about this...
Well, I definitely know it won't be as enjoyable. ;_;

Yeah I know, I still jumped watching that episode a second time knowing what was coming and when :x.
Also here's a screenshot of the angles from the trailer.
Still scary.

Blink terrified me too. D; I remember watching the episode whilst home alone, and when the lights started flashing near the end, someone came home through the back door and the fish tank light simultaneously flickered. .___.;

Glad to see I'm not the only one... Not that I'm glad you lot are scared, of course! XD

Against better judgement, I opened that spoiler. I'd already seen the trailer. I thought that perhaps if I looked at it, it would be like immersion therapy. Look at it long enough and it won't seem so scary.
I was wrong ;_;

Now I'm terrified again. If I ever meet Steven Moffat, I will punch him. Not very hard, of course. Just perhaps on the arm or the shoulder, then explain how much his creations have traumatised me. I will make him apologise.

This brings me onto a new topic:
I personally really want to meet Russell T Davies and give him a big hug and thank him endlessly for reviving DW. But there are some DW fans who absolutely hate him and think he should be crucified or whatever for destroying DW.
Where do you lot stand?

I've started buying box sets (DT ones first) since they apparently said Series 5 was going to be called Series 1. My Series 2 box set finally arrived yesterday a week after I ordered it (With the weather, it's understandable). And I just so happened to watch said episode in which xXI Joe IXx mentioned. I can see what you mean with it, I still miss him ;_;

I do plan on getting 3 and 4 and then the specials - maybe Series 1 before these due to what I mentioned above, for all I we know - it could mean the existing Series 1 could be phased out for it.

Also, I've started getting into the older Who's - with Peter Davison being one of the Doctors growing on me in particular. I may start getting some of the older DVDs as villains wise I thought ones such as The Rani was actually pretty awesome :3

Any news on a proper air date for Series 5? (I refuse to name it Series 1 >.>) or is it still just Spring 2010?

Well I don't particularly care what season they call it. It is a new writer / directer / w/e.

Doctor Who
Doctor Who 2005
Doctor Who 2010

Sounds a lot more futuristic.

Russell T Davies made The Doctor's character more interesting by killing off the Time Lords, because that made him more vulnerable and emotional. But I think that if The Doctor keeps talking about the Time War, it will lose its emotional impact. I hope that Steven Moffat's episodes don't reference the Time War too much, but I think that some other bad thing should happen to The Doctor which will take his character in another direction. Like he could adopt a space puppy who gets killed by Davros.

Well, I don't like the old ones as much, Russell did a great job of reviving the series.
Also, quick thing, I just watched David Tennants first episode, he was so much more funny than he was in others!
Seriously guys, watch this

I never did love Rose like everyone else did, maybe because I started watching on Martha's serise, and have only seen Rose on random episodes on Watch :l.
Speaking of watch, just watched Smith and Jones and Gridlocked on Watch. Why did the face of Boe have to die D:

Well that's the theory, but Capt. Jack is 'Immortal' now, so if he is the face of Boe how did he die D:?

He died of old age, simple as that..
I mean, unless, oh yeah, he was ill, by something, and he died.

If you convert all of your energy just to keep an entire planet locked and to keep people alive, then you wouldn't feel too great. Perhaps his immortality is now converted into the computers, to give them power, to get everything back up and running.
