Friday Night Open Thread

Oh, I haven’t talked about Doctor Who in a while. Many are focusing on Jodie Whittaker being named as the new Doctor, but I haven’t done a lot of that.

I will, eventually, but I’m going to let all the nonsense die down first.

On the other hand, I am really excited about Peter Capaldi’s final episode this Christmas. Not that I’m happy that Capaldi is leaving. I’m not. He’s my favorite Doctor of the revived show, and one of my favorite ever. I’d be totally happy if he was The Doctor forever.

I am a huge fan of the First Doctor, and the Second Doctor. I like all of them, but those first two are fantastic.

Anyway, Capaldi is leaving after three seasons, and that makes me unhappy. However, a multi-Doctor episode featuring the First Doctor alongside the Twelfth Doctor is exciting to me. Of course, William Hartnell has been dead 42 years, and won’t be reprising his role. But, David Bradley, who played Hartnell in a BBC docudrama about the origins of Doctor Who (n Adventure in Space and Time) will be bringing his talents to the role. I’ve been wanting that ever since I saw him in that TV special.
