Series 5 trailer

...hang on, that's what the Tardis is going to look like now? Looks like a bloody toy. Like a giant block of lego.


Keep in mind, that's how it looks from someone's camera off set, not how the actual camera, with the lighting, filters, etc. will record it.

You gone and spoiled it now coming up with an reasonable excuse not to bash the look of it, dam you :p. In the trailer the Tardis looked fine so am not worry.
 
Well yeah, but we only see it for about 2 seconds in the trailer. Looking at it like that...eeesh.

Still, I'll reserve judgement.
 
pics in today's Daily Mirror, plus some cribbed bits from the DWM: Karen picked the mini-skirt as they wanted her to wear trousers but she said it fit Amy's sassy character more. Matt added 'Come let's say it out loud: it's SEXIER. come on!'

apparently they get on well and she said she was slightly intimidated by him at first, but he was really nice. to which Matt added that now he's a complete git to her!
 
I really take it from all sides here (and that's not an innuendo, you know what a homophobe I am after all).

It's a good thing I don't have feelings.
 
I dunno, the TARDIS looks pretty bad in that picture and in several other pictures I've seen. Is the chameleon circuit going senile?

Wait, wait. The Tardis is in that picture? Oooh I see now. Behind Amy.
No problem with the new look. I'm sure it looked clean and shiny back in Hartnell's day. Which I suspect is what they're going for.

Honestly, looking a the old prop, I sometimes wondered how some of the ratty old things held together.

Edit: You might want to check out http://www.trekbbs.com/showthread.php?t=111947 She actually looks more like per previous self in different lighting.

I just think it looks too clean and new and featureless--remember, the only reason the TARDIS looks like a police box is because its chameleon circuit froze up on a visit to the UK sometime before "An Unearthly Child." As such, I'd expect it to look more weathered and grimy, both to better resemble a real box and because of all the hundreds of years of hard living it's had since the circuit went kaput. This is hardly a major complaint, friends, just a slightly disappointed observation which, as some point out, might not even be relevant if the prop is lit and shot correctly.

I do approve of the sexy lady, of course.
 
But it's a regenerated and repaired Tardis, looking like a pristine Police Box.

And I have a feeling Moffat won't keep it pristine for long. It was just necessary for now to justify the sudden change in appearance.

I'm sure if it changed from one old police box to another old police box, nitpicky fans would have taken issue with that too. lol
 
TBH its daft how the Doctor can save The Universe but can't clean his police box now and again ;)
