Bing Image Search tells me this is Willem Dafoe. It's clearly not. Is it Rupert Grint?His time is coming. You can only forestall the inevitable for so long...

The bookies have to be right eventually!
If there was to be an American Doctor, Willem would absolutely rock.

It is coming through the dark……..
If we did do Sherlock type of 90 minute episodes (which would be a sad state of a once grand 13 episode seasons) would we back at “trial of the time lord” brink of cancellation?
Or maybe just a reflection of tv in a streaming world? We get maybe 10 episodes of a current Star Trek show compared to 26 in the TNG/DS9 era. Even in movies, we seem to get eg a Bond film about once every 5 years compared to every other year in the 1970s, 80s or late 90s.
10 episodes every two years!
It is bias, because you expect Doctor Who to conform to your standards or what it should be.
I've been seeing a lot of praise as well, lots of positivity on forums at least for the first half of s2, but the review scores haven't been so fantastic. On average they're a little bit above Chibnall's run and a decent amount below anything that came before that.
Personally I've had real issues with the series ever since it switched from sci-fi to fantasy, but I've mostly kept my mouth shut here because I didn't want to spoil the mood. For me, these have been the worst two seasons of the modern era and I'm glad it's taking a break because I really don't want the series to turn into another The Simpsons, just continuing on forever like a zombie while everyone who used to love it has long since drifted away.
Right? Joy to the World too. And heck, I remember the overwhelming feeling around here and elsewhere that the show was finally finding its footing again with shows like Church on Ruby Road, Boom, 73 Yards and Dot and Bubble.
I genuinely believe this. Its incredible really.
When the "Power of the Daleks" animation was released, I went to see it in theaters (you know what's a bad idea? Sitting down to watch three hours straight of sedate, '60s pacing at 9:00 pm), and the theater accidentally rolled "Doctor Strange" instead of "Doctor Who." At least that one made sense, I'm not sure how another cinema I went to accidentally put on "X-Men: First Class" instead of "Super 8."Didn't he once say he didn't want to end up on lunchboxes in relation to Who? Plus he's Dr Strange now so it'd be strange to be Dr Strange and Dr Who simultaneously
If Disney can snag Tom Hiddelston for two seasons of Loki it would be great if he could do two seasons of “Doctor Who”
It would be a flash in the pan moment that will be over before you know if but it would be cool to have him play the Doctor
One episode of Disney's own shows cost 20-30 times more than they contributed to an episode of DW, which is how they afford movie stars to appear in them.
S2 was better than S1. But no, it wasn't "overwhelmingly positively received everywhere."
Personally, I thought S2 was middling entertainment overall. Mostly just there as entertainment that passed the time. I was unlikely to reflect on the episodes later but at least I didn't actively dislike most of them--outside the finale. The Well was fantastic. The lone real standout of the year.
But, you're talking everywhere. And the numbers and reviews just don't bear that out.
It's been on for 3 seasons longer than The Simpsons (39 total, vs 36) not to mention 26ish years longer, I would argue if it were going to "continue on forever like a zombie" we would be long past that point. I however have loved both new seasons, and all of RTD's seasons before. Moffat was iffy for me, Chibnall was not my cup of tea.
Thank's for proving my point..

Can their first words be ‘hellos dad.’?
Being old does stop you from being a good writer or showrunner. It's not like wind sprints are part of the job.
Not proving your point, but okay.
Hint: "Better" as I said, doesn't equate to universally well received.
