IT CAN BE SPRING RIGHT NOW YES?!

[rj_anderson]

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.

* Oh, all right, maybe BECAUSE of that part. What can I say, I'm an Old Skool Whofan, I still haven't got over the novelty of it.

Please excuse me whilst I SQUEE!

Maybe, just maybe, everything's gonna be okay :)

Oh hurrah! Thanks for posting this.

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.

Did you skip the finale because you'd heard bad things about it? (I have not watched it myself -- last thing I saw was The Next Doctor, and I still need to see PotD and WoM).

My inner geek is having a really wonderful time right now, I'll admit. There are clips. Of the eleventh Doctor. On the internet.

Have a Matt Smith icon... :o)

More Weeping Angels! Oh, it's going to be a season of FEAR!

It's the BBC, there won't be a date until about a week before it airs. They like to ambush us with television goodness!

I absolutely LOVED the Tenth Doctor, but I am genuinely excited to see what Matt Smith brings to 11. And that trailer is awesome - saw it earlier on TV and squeeed several times. *g*

I'm an old Dr. Who fan. Grew up with Tom Baker and Peter Davison, so I've seen lots of changes. I'm okay with it & really like the idea of getting back to basics. Adventures! With a companion again! Yay!!

If the past four series are anything to go by, scheduling wise, series 5 will start on Easter Saturday.

I must admit, it took until the very end of that promo to hook me, but then suddenly he looks into his companion's eyes and says, "Trust me. I'm the Doctor." And then I went "EEEEEEEEEE!!"

(Am amused by the Dramatic Gun Firing. Five fired a gun more than once, but as a tool, not a weapon.)

I love you so much for posting that trailer! Even though I cannot consider 11 to be same person as 10, it still looks amazing! And I am actually excited for it now:)

Also, the new little logo with the DW and the Blue Police Box - very nice.

While the trailer was good, what really got me was the line "Trust me, I'm the Doctor".

I can take that on a little faith, I think.

I still haven't watched the specials, even--I like to let a season get to the end before I start.

Actually, that has nothing to do with why I'm here. The actual reason is that I literally just put down Knife after reading it with a glee I rarely get from books--there are very few that make me have to put them down just so I can squee. I hereby give you the highest praise I can give an author, which is that I really wish I'd thought of it first.

Anyway, my point is, I would like to friend you, and it's always polite to let someone know.
