Reader Hilary sent me an email earlier this morning with a request:<\/p>\n

\n

Can we have an open Doctor Who thread to talk about the new season? \u00a0What we hope for, what we are looking forward to, what we are afraid of being disappointed about, what we love\/hate\/put up with? And then our reactions after the show starts again tonight?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And a Doctor Who open thread we shall have! The new season begins tonight, with the 12th\u00a0Doctor, played by Peter Capaldi<\/a>. As a Doctor Who fan myself, I\u2019ve always found the transition from one Doctor to the next especially interesting, because that transition tends to both be a sad time for what is lost but also a time of new possibilities and potential. This transition promises to be especially interesting given the dramatic events that closed out the last season.<\/p>\n

How about you? What are you hoping to see in the new season?<\/p>\n
