Enjoy Doctor Puppet’s heartfelt farewell to Peter Capaldi. Peter Capaldi got to live out his childhood dreams playing this role. How many people can say that? He will be missed, but never forgotten. I’m not crying, you’re crying!
Christmas is nearly here and you know what that means: The Doctor Who Christmas Special is almost here. We will have to say goodbye to the Twelfth Doctor and say hello to the Thirteenth. There’s a lot to digest in this new trailer as 12 works with 1. We even get a peek at the regeneration.
The first Doctor is as grumpy as ever when he meets the current twelfth Doctor as we can see in this clip from “Twice Upon a Time,” Peter Capaldi’s last full episode. It is also the Doctor Who Christmas Special. The older Doctor does not approve of the TARDIS interior at all. We will have to wait until Christmas day to see the full episode. I for one can’t wait.
The new era of Doctor Who has had many episodes featuring the Cybermen, but these Cybermen were not the original monsters from the classic series. Just parallel world versions. However the original 1960s Cybermen are finally coming back. The BBC has officially announced that the Mondasian Cybermen will appear in episodes 11 and 12 of Peter Capaldi’s final season of Doctor Who. Which likely means one heck of an adventure that will end with his regeneration. It’s about time they came back. They are far creepier than the current “Iron Man” Cybermen in New era Who.

At last we can own the 12th Doctor’s sonic screwdriver. I have to say that this is my favorite sonic in years. I liked 11’s but it just always seemed too bulky and busy. Whereas 10’s was way too plain. This one is just right.
It will be released in mid June, but you can pre-order it now. This replica features static, flashing & chase light modes as well as four sound FX. It lights up blue and green and those lights rotate like the on screen version. I just love the color they choose too. I’ll be getting one of these for sure. One day they will make one that actually opens doors.
Now that the Doctor’s new Sonic Screwdriver has made its debut during the show’s season finale, we can get an even better look at it. I have to say, I really am in love with this design. It isn’t as chunky as the 11th Doctor’s Sonic, which I love, and it has some super cool lights. It’s also TARDIS blue. It is the perfect blend of old fashioned and modern. I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to get my hands on a replica!
By now you’ve all seen the series 9 premiere of Doctor Who. It seems like people are pretty split on whether they liked it or not, but one thing is for sure, Peter Capaldi remains the best part of the show. IMO anyway. And check this out. The Doctor and Clara have recreated the classic Abbey Road album cover. With some help from the Daleks of course.
Interesting that Clara is taking Paul’s place and barefoot. Maybe she will get killed off in this series after all. I don’t think her current death from the last episode will last very long though.
Even though Doctor Who is technically a kid’s show,(I know. I don’t buy it either) they often try to push the envelope when dealing with scary imagery and terrifying concepts. It can be a hard balancing act, scaring viewers, while not scaring them away. Series 8 had mummies, cyborg zombies and other scary stuff. Just realize that what we saw on screen could have been so much more terrifying.
This concept art from Millennium FX comes from the Radio Times and it shows us just how much scarier season 8 could have been. If kids do indeed hide behind the sofa while watching Doctor Who, some of this stuff may have had them hiding behind locked doors.
It is amazing how well some things just go together. Like Doctor Who and Adventure Time. Who would have thought? Cartoonist Alex Dempsey knew all along and now he shows us with these charming illustrations. This series is aptly titled Adventure Time and Space and shows us a world where the ninth through twelfth Doctors and their companions merge with Adventure Time. These two shows work perfectly together.
If we could watch this show, it might even be more fun than each of them are on their own. You have to love the fact that he even threw in the ninth Doctor’s banana. That’s just perfect. Also, the War Doctor. Yay!
