me too. From what I've read, his Doctor is going to be a little crabbier than usual. I just hope he won't be so crabby that he alienates the kids. It is a kids show after all. Other than that, I am very hopeful. I love how he's actively working with the DW team. Maybe because he's a vet actor and has a respectable knowledge base of DW, he'll be taken seriously if he has any qualms about the scripts.6ed35f3f478d7d0c49d4d11f7be7f784d66e4b6.

I totally agree with all that I bolded.  I think, while he'll be crabbier, it's going to be ok.  I don't have a great deal of faith in Moffat sometimes, but Capaldi has enough working knowledge of DW to not fuck the fans over.
