well, I'm excited. Sea Devils, Daleks and the Angels from blink.

The new trailer did have an air of "Come to Thorpe Park, it's magical" about it though. That said, I'm loving Matt's general "Trougton-ness" and am qute taken by Amy's accent. Roll on the non specific start date of "Easter 2010 or summink".

feel like this trailer should've come before the original one which showed us loads of new stuff.
can't work out what the Dalek is saying at all.

Would make sense.

Did anyone else think that in the YT thumbnail, that was Tennant on the left and Matt Smith on the right?

No, but I see it now.
Don't mind if the swirly blue stuff is the new time vortex / title sequence but no Smith + companion floating around in it Matrix-style, please.

and the Angels from blink
actually really hoping they are literally the same angels from Blink because the original implication was that ANY kind of statue could be one of them but the hint in the Tennant finale was that they all take this weeping angel form. i just liked the idea that they could also be gargoyles, dragons, lions or whatever.

qute taken by Amy's accent
Can't tell from that if she's got her full-on proper Inverness accent, but I really hope she does. I think, from the way she says "flickering", that she does. Am very much looking forward to the idea of my accent on the telly.

nice descriptive url. it's an ems vcs3.
― koogs, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 10:00 (fourteen years ago) link
although, as someone points out, vcs3 = late 60s, who theme = early 60s
― koogs, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 10:01 (fourteen years ago) link
although although there is a Delaware version from 1972 or so that was never used. but i think a delaware is the big brother of a vcs3. yes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMS_Synthi_100
― koogs, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 10:13 (fourteen years ago) link
Whoa. Nice.
(Gizmodo does imply it was the original theme, but the actual ebay item description is very careful to point out that it was used by John Baker on an early 70s version of the theme. A few people seem to have queried this with the seller on the grounds that John Baker was never credited with doing the theme, but seeing as Delia Derbyshire was never listed on the credits either, uh...)

Interesting that it supposedly belonged to John Baker, who as far as I can remember doesn't even have playng credits on any of it (even Delaware was Paddy Kinsland and Brian Hodgson). He did a lot in incidental work on the show, but that's not exactoly the same thing. xpost

Except, of course, it's the Region 2 box in the joke which is unlikely to be up for rental in Canada...

My dreams of a Dalekless season have been dashed
― Brakhage, Tuesday, 23 March 2010 00:23 (fourteen years ago) link
Sad, but I think they're contractually committed to the Daleks appearing every season--when they resurrected the show in 2005, for a long time Terry Nation's estate was against the Daleks being in it. When they finally agreed, they made the BBC commit to including them every season (thus upping the income from Dalek-related collectibles to the Nation estate).

Dalek hating is challoping of the highest order, they're brilliant if they're written well. Trouble is that since the Ecclestone series they haven't been.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 23 March 2010 09:32 (fourteen years ago) link
Also it looks like it's Daleks in the Blitz which could be tremendous.

new holy grail: good Dalek story NOT set on Earth and written by Moffat

Ah ok. I have no particular Dalek hate, it's just that the contortions they have to go through to get them to show up, especially after establishing that they were all gone, become less and less compelling. Really I just want them to pop up once in a while, rather than their appearances be routine. The nadir was that two-parter in the 30s with that hybrid and the pig-people.
― Brakhage, Tuesday, 23 March 2010 17:15 (fourteen years ago) link
would have been easier to have serial villains without rtd's incessant madcap "end of the daleks! the world! the universe! time itself! stake-raising.
― the big pink suede panda bear hurts (ledge), Tuesday, 23 March 2010 17:18 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah I REALLY hope Moffatt has the good sense to avoid that shit.

I agree -- it's not that I hate them, it's just that they're overused and haven't had a decent storyline since Ecclestone.

season 2 Dalek vs Cybermen fight was pretty good, I thought

It seems like Moffat's a lot more interested in "small" i.e. specific stories, which will be great if it continues..
― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 23 March 2010 18:06 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah, I know the universe is always at stake in Who but I got so tired of RTD's MORE HUGER EVERYTHING MASSIVE BIG HUGELARGE

Me too.
― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 23 March 2010 18:15 (fourteen years ago) link
I hope they do something more like "The Pyramids of Mars", where Sarah Jane argues that they can ignore Sutekh because clearly he didn't wipe out the world because she was still around, and the Doctor took her back to her time and showed her the Earth as a desolate desert and said "o rly"
― ALLAH! *rolls on floor* (HI DERE), Tuesday, 23 March 2010 18:15 (fourteen years ago) link
That was one of the best things for me about Blink - because it actually did something with the idea of TIME TRAVEL, eg effects before causes, meeting before you know someone, etc etc.
