Eh, looks ok. Tennant back as an older Doctor will probably be good though doesn't make sense since the last Doctor was a woman. Tate back as Donna will suck, at least to me. She was an annoying companion. I'll probably pass though. I gave up on the show a few years ago.

Nah man. You gotta get past Donna’s “annoying”, once you get her for her she is amazing. Tate plays the edginess of the character to perfection. 

I agree on the last few years, Chibnall sucked as the head-writer/show runner. Jodie did everything she could but Chibnall really did not deliver a compelling story. Too many gimmicks, too much trying to change the through line. But now we got Russell T Davies back. I still think Mark Gatiss should have been the selection instead of Chibnall and should have been the next one after Chibnall but you know Davies is going to deliver a quality product.

No, I don't have to get past it. 😁

Seriously though, all the family/friends/lovers they've been bringing in to expand the cast and show the companions having lives outside the Doctor has been a bit much too. The whole point of the show has always been the Doctor and his companion(s) traveling through time and saving folks. It's never needed all the other BS.

I disagree during the RTD and Steven Moffat era’s. All the intricate plot devices that were created by the previous companions, families, etc worked. Outside of the Doctor(s) obviously, I think Donna’s grandfather was probably my favorite character at least in the new iterations. Followed by Amy and Rory. The whole man who waited saga was just brilliant. Then definitely River Song. I know Donna puts a lot of people off. But she is just so well portrayed. Kind of like Mary McDonnell as Laura Roslin on battlestar.

Neil Patrick Harris as the Toymaker should be good.

Disney's investment into Dr Who production is a win. If they were smart, they'd figure out a way to make a Dr Who-oriented attraction and meet-n-greet with any number of different Doctors and Tardis photo op.

      Dan looking at a new Conerback!!!

      Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
