    I just flailed so much, then got annoyed that there wasn't any more than what it was. Oh well, still going to watch it a million more times.

    It's about time they start airing series at the same time in the UK and US! I dunno about anyone else, but if there's a significant delay, I find another way to watch it online rather than waiting to watch it on BBC America or something. That's what I did with Sherlock, anyway. But yeah, so excited to see what Capaldi will be like! He was pretty funny in Fortysomething (also starring Benedict Cumberbatch as Hugh Laurie's son) and I think he'll be an awesome Doctor. Wonder how long Clara's gonna hang around...

    I started rewatching the series a couple of weeks ago and was BLOWN AWAY when I saw Capaldi in "The fires of Pompeii". I never got into Torchwood, but I understand he was also on that show. It will be interesting to see if there's a story thread to explain it or if they are going to ignore it. I'm sure he will be brilliant. I am ALWAYS sceptical and it usually takes me at least half a season before I fall in love all over again.

    They've already said they will explain it. (Moffat and Gatiss) It may take all season, but they will explain it. Or they'll have a bunch of angry fans breathing down their necks. lol

    I ended up watching the "The Snowmen" episode after I had already seen all the other episodes. I wish I had seen "The Snowmen" earlier because some of the Season 7 episodes would have made more sense. Heck it wouldn't have been as confusing as why the doctor was looking for Clara in "The Bells of Saint John."

    So I'm hoping I don't miss any episodes (Christmas special or not) for Season 8. :tongue:

    Not gonna lie. If Hulu+ is going to air it a day or two after it shows on BBC, I'm subscribing. I told my husband that I'm not waiting a whole 6 months to see what Capaldi is like. :P

    Installed Hola. Decided to try Netflix using it.

    Holy heck, I can get all sorts of new awesome things! For the other Americans, I can access Fright Night using the UK browser for Netflix, which isn't available in the US version.

    And QI. QI!!

    Oh, my night has been made. Thank you for mentioning it.

    I love Hola. I watched the whole season of Big Brother Canada that way. Definitely planning to watch Doctor Who by any means necessary. :)
