Doctor Who Season 9.....spoiler..... :P

Guess who is back....

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Excellent!

Yay, I guess. They didn't hang about did they; I guess it means also whatever arc will be in play for season 9, it won't revolve around her return. Wonder what it could be!

Kinda undermines last year's finale mind you, even if we all figured her 'death' looked a bit too ... transportery (may not be a word).

I get the feeling her appearance last year was basically just a version of souffle girl

The_Valeyard

I'm still not convinced she is The Master :P

She's a great actress

amen

The Ranni ?

Yeah, Im thinking that, or she is working for 'The Master', who I think was the 'Gus' on The Orient Express.

Whatever you make of her, Michelle Gomez is The Master; deal with it people!

Without creating another Spoiler thread for Season 9, the BBC announced two returning elements:

The Zygons and Osgood! I suspect the return of the former is going to explain the latters apparent rise from the grave...

I definitely reckon we're looking at

Zygood rather than Osgood

Wow, that's an incredible trailer.

I feel so jaded by Hollywood trailers that insist on spoiling every story beat and plot twist (step forward Terminator Genesis), it's refreshing to watch a trailer that's happy to simply tease and pump up its audience on fleeting glances & mystery. Properly excited now, roll on September!

I have to say this is the first time ever I'm properly excited about Doctor Who returning.

I may have mentioned this in episode discussions last year but I've never been a fan of the show. I watched some of the Matt Smith episodes and didn't really like it that much, if I'm honest. When he left and Capaldi was announced as the new Doctor I was curious rather than excited about the new series. I bloody loved last year though, it really converted me and, possibly contrary to popular opinion, I love Clara too, and I love the Capaldi/Coleman partnership and was so glad she stayed on and I am genuinely excited about it coming back this year!!

I absolutely do not get the Clara hate. the first year I did, she was a bit of a Mary Sue, but they really worked on developing her post impossible girl.

Glad you're liking it

I liked Jenna Coleman before she was on Who so I was kind of looking forward to seeing her on there but Clara never really worked that well alongside Smith. That was the writing though, she was a Mary Sue, they had this story line worked out and just squished her into it, she was a plot point more than a character in her own right.

From the first proper conversation between Capaldi's Doctor and Clara last year though it was completely different. It felt like a completely different show to me and, no offense to Matt Smith, but I feel like Capaldi and Coleman are more on the same level talent wise too.

I'm really really looking forward to the new season. Capaldi has so much potential as the Doctor, but I always felt he was a bit stifled in a lot of the episodes.

I'm -really- looking forward to Danny not being around anymore, god he annoyed me so much.

Oooh i am excite

I agree about Danny, he was necessary to expand Clara as a character but he suffered kind of the same fate as Clara did in her first series, he was barely more than a plot point.
