I'm not sure if I need use the spoiler tag or not but {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} I would watch a whole series of this Nikola Tesla. Edison can sod off as he was just an asshole for the whole time he was on screen, even at the end when he offers Tesla a job I wanted him to go away. But Tesla, I just loved this portrayal of him and his pure joy over almost anything.

I actually like how they portrayed Edison. He's a businessman first, inventor second, yes, but he did care about his employees. Compare that to the almost caricature that was that tycoon from the giant spiders episode.

this season feels like it's missing something, its an improvement on the previous season but just feels like a part of the jigsaw of the show is missing but I'm not sure what it is.
it has an overarching story in the background (Gallifrey and why its in the state its in.) where as last season it was just "turn up do stuff leave" for the entire season.

Not surprised; 3-4 years is pretty much the average run for most Doctors.

So I guess that kills those rumors about her walking off set and having already recorded her regeneration sequence.

So I guess that kills those rumors about her walking off set and having already recorded her regeneration sequence. I would not entirely rule that bit out just yet. Given how secretive Chibs is, I would not put it past them to camouflage Jodie's early exit this way...we know theirs' a special following series 12, and the specials after a series are normally considered the start of the next series, so Jodie would not actually be lying when she said she'd do another series, the special where she goes would count as that. So far there's only been official word from Jodie and Chibs, not the BBC, who are monitoring the ratings very closely, and are presently dealing with budget cuts.

I think she's good for Series 13, and I very much would like to see her have at least one more year than whatever Chibnall does.
Just really hoping 2021 isn't another virtual gap year.

Fugitive of the Judoon will have a surprise bigger than the Master's return There's only one classic villain finally arriving in Nu-Who that could really worth this hype: {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} Someone's about to feel the back of a kandy hand.

Everyone just gets hung up on the Kandy Man's goofy design. And in truth we're never going to see the Kandy Man again because Bassets complained it was too close to their mascot.

BBC America briefly tweeted this, then took it down and redacted the last bit {Spoiler}

Latest word is that the surprise could be {Spoiler}Captain Jack Harkness, as John Barroman was busy last night re-tweeting the tweet from Doctor Who Official

Oh no, please don't tell me River Song is returning. Please please please. I'd rather have another series of my Sci-Fi lecturing me than that.
