Interesting...although Matt Smith seems more and more like he's better suited for a soap, not an action man. :P

And dya think they'll still keep the theme currently being used? It was in the end of that trailer so maybe it will...
"To live on as we have is to leave behind joy, and love, and companionship, because we know it to be transitory, of the moment. We know it will turn to ash. Only those whose lives are brief can imagine that love is eternal. You should embrace that remarkable illusion. It may be the greatest gift your race has ever received."

Block capitals = Eye sore.

And if they are making a new theme, it had better be decent.

Sorry  :funny I actually LOVE this trailer it makes me feel like the Doc and Amy are the example of the show "moving on" the classic type of companion and i love his line about the star flickkering " Sorry i thought i fixed that."

Its a good line but...he just doesn't carry the oomph needed. Just imagine David Tennant saying that. :P

His acting seemed far too fake in that trailer... That and he sounded like he had a cold in some of the voice over...

Still, gonna give him a series to prove himself.

Yeh, they are recording a new theme too, I read an article on Murray Gold about the music in the specials and there was a part at the end when he was talking about the music for the new series including a new theme...

That looked pretty aweful to be honest. I'll likely watch the first episode or 2, but I don't hold out much hope.

Note: Only one person has actually mentioned disinterest in watching the new series in its entirety. And no-one has said "Oh Matt Smith is a pile of crap, put him in a mincer and see him turn into Burger Who". Just saying "I will only watch the first 2" is their opinion. Whether it affects the show or not is inconsequential and irrelevant, its just personal opinion. You really like him, limey obviously doesn't. Don't try and make him "see the light". In my opinion Matt Smith will be "ok".

Keep in mind though, Matt Smith's series won't be like that trailer at all, which did look awful by the way. The trailer is just made to make viewers aware of the new series and does not represent that final product in anyway.

Personally, I think people just don't like Matt Smith because he is too young (and looks emo, lol). Given that Doctor Who has almost always starred older, more expreienced actors in the role as the Doctor (Peter Davison was the youngest up untill David Tennant), it is understandable that fans have doubts of Matt Smith following in the foot steps of the previous Doctors.

With that said, I'll watch it to see how he performs. Also, keep in mind, it is really intended as a family show so it has to be a little bit tame, even if that means taking on a goofy actor.
Can't wait for 2014 to start.

One thing I've noticed is that the "colour" theme has changed. RTD was very red/orangey while Moffat is into his purpley blue. Fashinating. :P

Well, in the show the orangey/red means future and purpley/blue means past (in terms of the Time Vortex anyway =p)

Maybe it's a hidden pun on the part of the Moff considering he's, well, he's rumored to be making the show more like the classic era... Just with better effects and less 'miss' stories...

70/80's looking Tome Vortex - Check.

I am guessing that you think the vortex in the trailer is what the time vortex will be.

That is simply not the case.

Seeing as how the trailer was so damn awful, I am inclined to think that the vortex seen in it is not what the vortex in the next season will look like.

If you can provide a link telling you for a fact that the vortex in the trailer is what it will look like in the next season, then please do so.

Well, we have TARDIS in 'Vortex' here:

http://blogtorwho.blogspot.com/2010/03/series-5-dvd-release-date.html

And also:

"The sixty second sequence opens quietly enough but our heroes are soon spinning through a vortex and facing deadly enemies"
http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/s4/features/bulletins/bulletin_100219_01

I know it doesn't say 'Time Vortex' but it is probably safe to assume that that is what it is.

EDIT: Actually, if you look at the TARDIS on that first link, you'll notice that there is no white rim to the windows... strange.

I am not going to argue with you about this anymore. I am just going to point out a few facts.

1. In the first link, that picture is fake. It is just so blatently obvious that is fake.

2. In the second link, again, that does not prove that is what the time vortex will look like in the next season.
