Twelve has finally arrived! (Spoiler-free)

Okay, I bet yesterday evening thousands of people sat in front of their TV's and computers to watch the start of Doctor Who's series 8 with the episode "Deep Breath". We all were very excited about how Peter Capaldi would be as the new Doctor after Matt Smith had left with an emotional finale. Some people had the (to be honest ridiculous) fear that an older Doctor would not be as cool and awesome as David and Matt but one thing is for sure: Doctor number 12 is bloody awesome!!!

We find ourselves back in Victorian times were we again meet the clever Madame Vastra, her pretty wife Jenny and awesome butler Strax. And they have every reason to be excited because a dinosaur found its way into the middle of London. And of course we all know who's fault that is. Clara isn't quite sure how to deal with the new face of her Doctor and also the other three friends have their problems keeping the Doctor in place and understanding what exactly he's on about when he's talking. The Doctor has a new face, a new personality and new opinions and thoughts. But the Doctor wouldn't be the Doctor if he didn't find out in funny conversations and a mysterious adventure who he has become now. And of course even straight after a regeneration the Doctor can't resist a good mystery which surrounds the death of a dinosaur and strange moving people who don't seem to be breathing. Clara on the other hand doesn't seem to be sure if she can get along with the new face the Doctor has but knows that she has to stay with him because he's still the Doctor and both of them have to position themselves new in their companionship.

One thing can be said about the start of the new series: Peter Capaldi will certainly be a fantastic Doctor who saves the day in his own new way. The first episode might not yet completely show what potential and emotions are hiding in the new Doctor but the writing can be excused with the fact that the first episode of a new Doctor is always a bit neutral but still shows us the hero we love. Peter Capaldi presents the great acting he is capable of and already now has made that role his very own and the way he pulls off the script and the text in this first episode just proves that. People who are worried that an "old" man might not make a good Doctor should already now be convinced that when it comes to the Doctor the age isn't important because he is always the same fantastic Time Lord who is here to safe us and other worlds. And probably it is good that the Doctor is a bit going back to his origins: he's a time traveller and adventurer who helps us and his companion. "I'm not your boyfriend." the Doctor makes clear to Clara and that is fine! People say that they adore Peter Capaldi as the Doctor but probably won't be able to fall in love with him like with fancy David and funny Matt but the awesomeness of the new Doctor, Peter's brilliant acting  and the great potential this Doctor has will surely make us all adore Doctor number 12 just as every Doctor who has been there before. So with a new face, a "new" TARDIS and new adventures to look forward to we start our journey into darkness with Peter Capaldi!
