Yee ha!

Itty bitty yet still wondrous Dr Who trailer.

I love it that they used the original theme music. Maybe they'll use it in the actual series!

Surely a variation of it, at least. Probably jiggled around (technical term), but hopefully something close.

It's a good thing my co-worker is absent today, as this allowed me to nick the speakers off her computer before downloading this. It looks good, and sounds great. I'm now off to Outpost Gallifrey to find out at which point DW fandom thinks the series has definitively gone downhill. Will it be the slight glow around the vanishing Tardis? The point where Eccles says "I'm the Doctor, by the way" instead of the traditional "I am THE DOCTOR!"? Or will it be the completely unacceptable opening shot of a half-moon which outrageously violates a decades-long tradition of second-rate extras being unconvincingly killed at the start of any true classic?

Didn't take long. Posted yesterday at 3:50 pm (presumably EST) on Outpost Gallifrey by The PhantomPiper:

"The only problem.

It's bloody awful.

I take it we saw a bit of the "title sequence." And I saw -- worst ever for a show.

It really doesn't get me interested. If I was not already a fan, I would say --no way."

There was a great letter in DWM a few months back in the standard whining tone about how the new series was obviously going to be a travesty, and that the letter-writer was now forsaking DW after 40 million happy years of being a fan. The response from the editor was brilliant: "Bye then!"

I read online somewhere that members of the production office had received death threats.

Change your casting or I kill the kitten.

Please: change your casting or I exterminate the kitten.

I'm hoping that was a beguiling, casual arrogance in his delivery of the line. Mm. But maybe it was just sort of casual.

He sounded like he really meant "Run for your life!"
