Oh yes, Russell, "Everybody lives"... that whole story is one of my favourites so far. 'Dance with her, Doctor, dance with her!' - I'm sure you know at which point I practically yelled that at the television.
I now have two more episodes to go before Rose leaves... it won't be fun, I'm sure. But I guess it must have been so much worse when you watched it without knowing if and when she would leave. That's probably the biggest problem when you come to watch a show like this one so late: you already more or less know when the huge cuts and changes will happen. I'm completely in love with Ten right now... I don't want things to change, but at the same time I know that change can be positive as well. So I intend to enjoy every minute of every episode with him to bits and pieces.

Oh, and: wonderful pic of the new Doctor. Capaldi looks like a true gentleman and pretty cool at the same time.

"It didn't look like talking."  "It didn't feel like dancing."  <g> <g>   Loved that one, too.  And his "Rose?  I'm coming to get you." part. 

Awww… and so close….  Her finale is a heck of one!        Was so torn each time someone left.  But yes, like sj said, some of the later players are just as amazing.  Still uncertainly fascinated by how Capaldi will be… he seems so differently neat.  And that… 'Nethersphere Gatekeeper' lady we just found out about??  Huh.   Here's her promo picture:




(ahem… first thought - wow, she looks like she means business.  Gatekeeper Mary Poppins indeed!  )
(second - wow… cheekbones!  ;D   …and, bright red lips and nails.  umbrella.  yup… DW shares people with Sherlock) 

Sorry for throwing this is in but I just found it on tumblr - an interesting nod to Dr Who for all Sherlockians:

Apologies in advance, these are just 2 little asides.
1.  Hubby and I were watching Big Bang on loop yesterday.  Sheldon made a quip about grieving the loss of 11 "Doctor Whos"... you'd think he'd know it's "doctors"!

Sheldon would know it's "Doctors," but sadly, while most Americans have at least heard of Doctor Who, most don't know he's called "The Doctor." If Sheldon had just said "Doctors," much of the American audience would think he was talking about his personal physicians. I suppose he could have said, "Doctors from Doctor Who" or something like that though.

Another aside - I was teaching a science summer camp a couple of weeks ago, and we had a science fiction day. We started off the day talking about our favorite science fiction shows, movies, or books. I said mine was "Doctor Who," the kids stared at me blankly until one asked, "What's that?" I told them that they needed to expand their scifi horizons beyond Star Wars. ;)
 

Oh, I love to read those different opinions on the different Doctors and showrunners.
Since I am not familiar with the original show I have no idea whether or not RTD pushed it away from it or not. All I have to go on is the new show - and so far I really, really like what I see.
The Doctor saying goodbye to Rose made me cry like I haven't cried ever since TRF and "Third Star" - and I love it when a tv show makes me feel such feelings. Having hilarious Donna in the following episode was so clever IMO, because my tears had barely dried and I already was back to laughing like crazy.

I would agree though that I probably won't miss the Daleks and Cybermen too much as soon as Moffat takes over.

5 scripts of the new season leaked... would you read them?

Hm... got them and I think I gonna read them... For the experience to see the differences in what they actually did from it...

Hmm I don't want to know single details beforehand like...

I wouldn't want to know that Mary shoots Sherlock

But when it is the whole story it is not exactely a spoiler to me .
I find it interesting to see the developing process... Read the script like producers, actors and so on do and then see what they have done from that... . We normally do not have the chance to do that.

Nope, and nope.   I second what Solar said… why want to be spoiled actually getting to 'see' how it looks being played out, then enjoy reading the differences afterwards?  (also, wonder how in the world that many got online in the first place?)

I think that nowadays with the internet and everything connected to it, it is more or less impossible to not stumble across any spoilers at all. Some people don't mind, some even seek them out, some try to avoid them completely. I don't mind being spoiled with minor details - although you probably never know for sure whether or not the spoiler you're reading is a minor or major detail. But I'm just not interested in reading whole scripts for several episodes of a tv show I intend to enjoy when it finally airs. I already know far too much about the DW seasons I'm still catching up with right now, so I'd like to keep S8 as much a secret for myself as possible.
