Peter Capaldi Is the Twelfth Doctor


A while back, Matt Smith announced that he would be leaving Doctor Who at the end of this year. This left many Whovians asking, "Who is the next Doctor?" After months of anticipation and speculation, the BBC has finally answered us. They announced last Sunday that the Twelfth Doctor would be played by Peter Capaldi. Capaldi has been a Doctor Who fan for quite some time, and he even sent the BBC a letter asking them to make more episodes when he was fifteen years-old. He appeared on the British sci-fi classic before in "The Fires of Pompeii" when David Tennant was the Doctor. Peter Capaldi is most famous for his role as Malcom Tucker on The Thick of It on BBC Two. He also starred as a W.H.O. doctor in the recent zombie-thriller World War Z. Coincidence? I think not. Most long-time Whovians have welcomed Capaldi into the Doctor Who universe, but some newer fans are a little skeptical. At fifty-five years-old Peter Capaldi is a little older than recent Doctors, and some fans think that this would make the new Doctor "boring". We ourselves disagree with this statement; age does not define someone's acting prowess. What is our opinion on Peter Capaldi becoming the Doctor? Although we are slightly disappointed, still not a ginger, we can not wait to see what he brings to the show this fall. Capaldi being slightly older than recent Doctors might make the show a little more serious, or make the Doctor a more "powerful" character. Want more news on the Doctor's upcoming regeneration?

A New Leaf

Hello everybody; it's been a while. With school, work, and my extracurricular activities, I haven't had as much time as I would have wanted to spend writing. In the two years since I've last posted, I was vice president, president, and varsity captain for my high school's Academic Decathlon team, went to the California state Academic Decathlon competition twice, was a student commissioner for my city's Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission, a speech coach for Chinese students learning English, earned my Eagle Scout rank, and was accepted into my dream school, the University of California San Diego. With that in mind, I'm also about to graduate high school. I wasn't the speaker that my high school teachers were looking for as graduation speaker, but I thought it would be remiss if I did not say anything. My original speech would seem a bit out of context as an article, so this is a slightly abridged version. "Throughout my high school career, this...

Hands-on with the Nokia Lumia 1020.

Smartphone cameras have drastically changed in the past few years. Most smartphone cameras have improved so much that most people use their smartphone as their main camera.

AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note Ice Cream Sandwich update is coming tomorrow with Premium Suite

Is Gingerbread too dry for you on your enormous Samsung phablet? We have good news for you if you are that such of a person, because the AT&T version of the Samsung Galaxy Note is finally getting a cold, sweet serving of Ice Cream Sandwich tomorrow. Along with the usual features that come with Ice Cream Sandwich version 4.0.4, Samsung threw in the Premium Suite that came on the international version's Ice Cream Sandwich update. The Premium Suite offers big improvements in S-Memo and S-note, and S-note is now integrated with Wolphram Alpha. Disappointingly, you will not get the TouchWiz features that are on the Samsung Galaxy s III's (S-Voice, Smart Stay, S-Beam, Photo Recognition, and many other S's). You still will probably not be disappointed from the lack of these features, because you will still get many other new features in the upgrade. For those of you who do not know what the Samsung Galaxy Note is, it is the smart phone that has the biggest screen in the ...
