Peter Capaldi was BORN to play the Doctor. He literally embodies every part of the role perfectly in his performance. I hope he stays just as long as Tom Baker did. Hell, even longer.

Am I the only one that wants to see Peter and David Tennant with like a 2 hour discussion about their favorite Classic Who episodes?!

[LateNightHalo]

what i like about peter capaldi is.. this man can be VERY VERY dark when he needs to be.. i mean.. did you see the look he gave the camera in the 50th anniversary? matt smith was silly and fun and stuff... but peter capaldi truly is "the oncoming storm"

10th doctor... Allons-Y!!
11th doctor... GERONIMO!!
12th doctor...

Anyone still saying Peter Capaldi is too old.. Remember.. Doctor Who's first actor was over 50 years old: William Hartnell. Jon Pertwee, the 3rd Doctor, was 60 at the time of playing the role. This show is found off the backs of older generations, not young, energetic roles such as David and Matt (Still love them all)

"Lots of planets have a Scotland!"

Seeing Matt Smith without his Doctor hair made me realize: Matt Smith has REALLY big ears

[hunterkiller]

I have a feeling I'll enjoy the new Doctor.

[biggiehp]

I am going to bawl my eyes out whenever he regenerates. Capaldi and Tennant are by far my favorite Doctors (but they are all incredible).

[CliventheTraveller]

He held his lapels! 

I like him already.

[medinamihalis]

Where's the time gone? Seems like this only just happened, and now his regeneration is already three days gone. I'm going to miss him immensely.

[GothKaida]

His cameo in the 50th Anniversary was brilliant !

[MrMarsFargo]

Revisiting this years later, after Capaldi's moved on, and I gotta say... I really do like that the post-2005 Doctors like each other a lot more, and are a lot more supportive and encouraging, than the Classic Doctors were to each other. It is really almost a defining aspect of the Classic regeneration episodes that the Doctor actors largely hated their successors (such as Hartnell having hard feelings about losing the role to Troughton, Pertwee despising Baker, Baker despising Davison, etc). Glad to see more camaraderie and encouragement among the subsequent Doctors.

[HangMrH]

If Peter can keep the seriousness, dark, edgy and sinister side, while still pulling off the energetic side of him, then he would have all the qualities that the doctor ever had in his 12th incarnations.

Timey Wimey Fuckity Bye, gonna be a good season, and the Thick of it Dr Who mashups will be priceless too

[kakairuislove]

Every time I hear who the new doctor is I get really disappointed thinking they are too old or too young or not good looking or just not right then I watch one episode and end up absolutely obsessed lol Hes going to be brilliant

10th, 11th and 12th Doctors prepare to jump out of the tardis and save the day:
10th Doctor: "Allons-y!"
11th Doctor: "Geranimo!"
12th Doctor: "Fuckity bye!"

[imkaminski]

"God Fucking Damnit Clara! I thought I told you to stay inside the FUCKING TARDIS!! You do this every God-Damned time!! Fucking listen to me! I'm 1200 fucking years old, I know what the fuck I'm talking about! FUCK!" 
- Leaked dialog from Capaldi's first Episode as The Doctor. 

[renation]

i think the kidney conversation between him and clara has already shown an interesting chemistry

[ScottsThoughts]

My Doctor, the best Doctor of all time in my opinion. Miss him so much.
