Big weekend for fans of Doctor Who. It’s been months since we saw the quick flash of Matt-Smith-into-Peter-Capaldi, which means its also an interesting weekend for Who fans. It’s been some time since there’s been a dramatically older Doctor in the house, definitely since the show became such a popular show with a younger American demographic. So I’m curious to see how much of a stand-in for all of those fans who just don’t know what to do with a dramatically different Doctor.
Meanwhile I’ll be doing my best to stay away from Saturday’s TV premiere so that I see it fresh at the theater Monday night. I didn’t wait to see the fiftieth anniversary special, which I (slightly) regret. I’m thinking that even if I stay away from the internet, someone in the line at the theater will say something to ruin the story for me. Until then, here’s the trailer for the premiere: “Deep Breath.”
