Ready for New Who!

I must admit I have desperately missed Doctor Who.

I feel like in the words of the Beatles "It's been a long, cold, lonely winter."

Of course this being Oklahoma it's been more like a long, hot, earthquakey winiter/spring/summer.

For eight months, fans of Doctor Who have been without the Timelord.

The last time the Doctor regenerated was in 2009/2010 when we went from David Tennant to Matt Smith.

If I remember correctly, the last episode of Tennant was in December of 2009 and the first episode of Matt Smith's was April of 2010.

So that was only a wait of four months.

Now, admittedly eight months is nothing compared to the near decade and a half I had to wait for new Doctor Who.

Of course there was the TV movie in 1996, but that felt more like a tease, and only seemed to add the final nail in the Doctor's coffin.

But, this time seems even worse.

First, we have known Peter Capaldi would be playing the Doctor for more than a year.

We even got a peak at him in the 50th Anniversary special Day of the Doctor.

We also got a brief moment with Capaldi at the death of Matt Smith's Doctor in the Christmas special.

All we gleaned from that is the TARDIS is again crashing following a regeneration, and, for some reason, Capaldi's not overly fond of his kidneys.

Soon after the Christmas special, we get word that IDW Comics lost the rights to release Doctor Who comics but instead would be created by Titan Publishing.

Unfortunately, the new titles would be on hold until July.

So, now finally I am ready to see the new stories and exciting adventures of Peter Capaldi as the 12th Doctor.

Long Live Doctor Who!
