Anyway, I liked the new episode no matter what the likes of Ameri would say...

So who does everyone want to be the next Doctor? Of all the names I've heard the one I'd most love to play the Doctor would be Tilda Swinton. It would be a major coup and she's a big name so it's not likely. Apparently BBC's NewsNight leaked it was Tom Ellis by showing a clip of Lucifer for the next Doctor. Odds on favourite is still Chris Marshall.

His character is a perfectly nice person in Miranda. Granted, that show had an essence of eau du fromage, but I kind of liked it.

So apparently multiple sources are confirming that Doctor Who will last "at least" until series 15. It doesn't look like Doctor Who is going anywhere any time soon.

Kris Marshall would be a terrible Doctor and would help to kill the show with his blandness. At this point as long as it's not him, I'll be happy.

My top choice for a female Doctor is still Hayley Atwell, and my top choice for a male Doctor is David Harewood.

There are plenty of actors I'd be happy with or accept in the role, but those two would be my preferred Thirteen, although I doubt either will happen. I'm really hoping they go in a different, more diverse direction this time around.

If anything, it's the teaser for the next one that's got me surprised.
It was a pretty good episode, much better than Extremis, imo. That whole consent thing was a bit, well, iffy, though. Also, the ending sort of annoyed me.

The Pyramid at The End of World was a good episode, I preferred it to the first part.

Good Callbacks to Zygon Invasion 2-Parter (which I have reappreciated)

The monks are similar to the Trickster from SJA

Got some good character development for Bill

Can't wait for part 3.

That was really solid. I was worried, I saw a YouTuber I like complaining that it was terrible on Twitter earlier, so I guess I'll have to reevaluate my opinion of him. But that was really solid, I just hope next week can match the build-up.
