This image is just starting to hit the geekerati websites, and it’s causing quite the stir. Personally, I love love love it. Where the last couple Doctors have sported outfits that gave off a vibe of wandering librarian-adventurers, this one takes us back to something we haven’t seen in quite a few regenerations: class. This is Pertwee without the frills, making Capaldi look like some kind of angry mentalist who can hypnotize you into doing the chicken dance with a look and a waggle of his fingers.
The man has SONIC EYEBALLS!
You said it. He has sonic eyeballs. And I’m a little worried that his eyebrows contain Time Lord Technology.
He certainly looks the part. I really liked Matt Smith’s Doctor, and was sad to see him leave, but now that I’ve seen an albeit brief teaser of Capaldi in the Dr Who Christmas special I can’t wait for the next series. He seems very “Doctory”.
