I loved the little nods to William Hartnell when he came out on the show (holding his lapels and pulling the Hartnell "look").
Oh I'm glad someone else noticed that one
It's coincidence I know, but the signs were there!
In the recent zombie movie World War Z, Capoldi was cast as a Doctor at WHO (World Health Org), in their Cardiff facility (which is where Dr Who is made).

I'm excited for him to be the doctor. He did very well in Torchwood and I've been done with Matt Smith for quite a while now
Craig Ferguson = Jerry Sadowitz wannabe
(Or at least he was, until he headed across the puddle)

Let me know Doctor When youve had enough...
We can ask Doctor Why all about that.
Wow, it seems to be a lot of distain for Matt Smith. Although I first got into doctor who with Matt and I'm biased because I would very much like to marry Karen gillan, I think he is the best of the past three doctors. Chris ess was rather boring and weird, and tenant was good, but most of his companions were very annoying. Matt had some darkness in him, but I liked that not every episode was doom and gloom, which made the parts Where he saved the world more interesting. I dont know anything about capaldi, but I really enjoy moffat's production/directoral skills, So I'm sure the episodes will be great.
Quick question - because I cut cable a couple of years ago and haven't caught up on Netflix yet, so I'm out of the loop.
Way back in the Tom Baker days, in the "Deadly Assassin" storyline, they asserted that a Time Lord gets twelve regenerations and then he dies for good. I'm not sure if that was supposed to mean 12 or 13 incarnations, now that I think about it. (the plot line there was that the Master had used up his last regeneration and was trying to find a way to extend his life).
Which, if that's still the rule, would mean the Doctor is counting down to his last regeneration. Has there been any hints about ending the series, or otherwise dealing with this issue?

Good point. You should check out the Doctor Who forums at Invalid Link Removed
Some seriously knowledgeable fans in there...
Having said that, I'm sure the writers will find a loophole in the smallprint to circumvent such trivial matters as continuity

Neil Gaiman has suggested that the twelve regeneration limit is just a Time Lord rule, and now they're gone it can be broken, but possibly with consequences.
Looking forward to seeing what he comes up with for Capaldi - hopefully he'll be writing for series 8.
Holy crap, ANOTHER forum for me to get addicted to? My wife is gonna kill me....
(seriously, thanks!)

Isn't one of the Doctor's rules, The Doctor lies?
I think it was mentioned to dispute the "State of Temporal Grace" inside the TARDIS.

Haha you're welcome. It's a great forum. I'm not a member there, but I enjoy reading the threads.
I didn't realise how much of a lightweight, amateur, part-time fan I was until I saw the conversations those guys are having
