Ah, okay. Glad I didn't miss some vital tidbit out there xD
I can understand what Moffat's saying. Having not grown up on any of the older Doctor generation I was shocked to see how old most of them were 0.0 I was used to Tennant for goodness sake and then Smith comes along . . . I don't think it's a bad direction to go. It's something we haven't had in awhile and it will be nice to kinda weed out the fans that are just along for the great-looking *cough Tennant cough* hair. Not saying I'm totally not a fangirl but it does annoy me when people hate on Capaldi just for being old. In this area we are completely of one mind ;)
Honestly I can't see 12 being terribly dark. Kidneys and sneezes people. They're as close to puppies and rainbows as we're going to get.
But admittedly we've see all of 30 seconds so there's a lot we don't know. I agree with your view though. Most likely no companion choking in the future.
I totally wasn't thinking of you and Clara/Doctor shipping at all ;D
Oh nah, it was just in some pre-series-8-interviews-for-magazines stuff. The quote is being attributed to both Moffat and Capaldi (I read it as being from the former first), along with the idea that the past two Doctors have been "boyfriend material" and they want to change that with 12 and this and that.
I get where those words are coming from, but I also see some people kind of going "oh crap Clara is going to hate the new Doctor and he's going to be an abrasive jerk and ahhh". The worst thing a Doctor ever pulled was probably when 6 started choking Peri post-regeneration, and physical violence against a companion is such a no-no these days that I can't possibly see something as awful as that happening. So my words are "relax fans, 12 isn't choking anyone, we're going to be fine".
I also just ship Doctor/Clara like exotic spices in the 18th century and have no shame in admitting it (which you have encountered with me before xD).
Aw, that really is so adorable :33 And the number of other characters I can put into that pose=
I had no idea the discussion about Capaldi was making him 'dark and edgy'. Why in the world are they saying that? Is there some film tidbit I missed that leads people to think that? I mean a sneeze and kidneys to me doesn't lend itself to companion choking XD
