The last time the BBC released a trailer for the upcoming series of Doctor Who, it was 16 seconds of silhouettes and epileptic seizures. This time, it's still 16 seconds, but we get to see the new man in full, and he and Clara each get a line reminding us that with a new face comes new understanding of the man we call The Doctor. And, an exact date for when it'll be returning, in this case, the 23rd of August. Mark your calendars, Whovians, I will be.
As an aside, does it seem to anyone else that is less hoopla over Capaldi taking over the role than there has been in the past. Maybe it is a symptom of their announcing it way back a year ago, before the 50th, before the Christmas special. Have we just burned out our excitement over the new guy already? Or is it because, unlike with some of the more recent actors who have taken on the role (and even back in the old days, when folk like Davison or McCoy), Capaldi is an actor is good standing instead of some newbie. That we have many previous works of his to look upon and can reasonably tell how he'll be in the role? I honestly don't know, but to me it seems like there is less fuss this time around. Maybe I'm just blocking it out.
