We don't get the BBC anymore.  I has a sad, yes...

Won't be able to catch it tonight.  It's no biggie as I plan on seeing the whole coming season on Netflix.

These new posters that are being done for Radiotimes.com to promote the new series are super cool

These are way better than the posters the BBC put together for all the season 7 episodes, which just photoshopped together, if these were released as merchandise I would buy some in an INSTANT.

Also, Into the Dalek is tommorow, I gave in and watched the leaked version without special effects, I really liked it and I think it has the potential to be a great episode once we see the completed version.

Turns out that the yankees do not understand English language:

http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2014/sep/11/doctor-who-peter-capaldi-american-fans-scottish-accent?CMP=fb_gu

Quote
'He should be called Doctor What!?'

Quote
“First noticeable downside of Capaldi: my dad can’t understand his Scottish accent so he rewinds every two minutes.”

Quote from: Patricia Fletcher, a Manhattan-based voice, speech and dialect coach

“The actor often speaks very quickly, with a staccato rhythm and without enough attention to articulating through to the end of his thought/line,” she added. “This does promote a character choice of Doctor Who being sharp and quick-thinking, but does not help us understand what the Doctor is actually saying/thinking.”

Hah, I wonder what outrage would have been caused if the Doctor was speaking in a rhyming slang. :)

Now excuse me because I need to roll on the floor and laugh. *proceeds to do so*
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

The Doctor has always talked quickly. Sarah Jane and Rose joked about this in School Days. And Capaldi isn't our first Scottish doctor (Tennant is). He just got to keep his accent.

The new episode, Listen, is airing today. There's been a massive amount of hype around this episode ever since the workprint leaks. Here's hoping it lives up to the hype :)

Also, here is the Radio Times posters for the last and next episode.
