IT CAN BE SPRING RIGHT NOW YES?!

Okay, I shamelessly admit to skipping the entire S4 finale and I doubt I'll change my mind on that point, but this preview has me all pumped for S5, despite* the occasional romantic clichés we've seen in every season so far, such as Companion Unexpectedly Kisses the Doctor.



So do we have an actual date for the beginning of S5, or just this vague promise of "Spring"?

Note to self: Need Matt Smith icon.

YES! I have been saying all along that we need to give Matt Smith a chance and after this, I think he will be AWESOME (also Steven Moffat wrote several of my all-time favorite episodes so I trust him). And the Weeping Angels!


I mean, I loved David Tennant, but his leaving the show is NOT the end of the world.

*sways and sings* All we are saying / is give Matt a chance...

I absolutely agree with you on all these points.

Lol! :D

I've heard people say that they won't watch the show since RTD left. I don't understand that at all! Steven Moffat wrote "Blink" AND "The Girl in the Fireplace," which are absolutely amazing and probably in my top four episodes ever (note that I've never seen Old School DW). So...yes. I'm looking forward to the next few years.

Not to mention "The Empty Child" and "The Doctor Dances," which were by far the best (and most genuinely scary) eps of the first season IMO. Forget slimy aliens, that little blond kid in the gas mask will haunt my dreams forever. And yet -- what do you know? -- everybody lives. What's not to love about that?

But then I also like River Song, so clearly I am a blinkered Moffat fangirl with no sense of objectivity. :)

Oh, yes! I loved those too! And wait, he did Silence in the Library and Forest of the Dead too? Because those are also some of my absolute favorites! (I tend to count two-parters as one.) River Song is fascinating and wonderful. So, sign me up for the blinkered Moffat fangirl club! :D
