This is the first of several items, tailored to thinking about ways Peter Capaldi's version of the Doctor can break away from Matt Smith's version. While I appreciate the occasional wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey cropping up, much of the Eleventh Doctor seemed to revolve around making everything something-y or relying heavily on catchphrases. Both the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors tended toward plain speech and I think a naturally more verbose lexicon is needed for the Twelfth Doctor. Alternatively, we could just have him stand in front of a stack of books continually. But somehow, I think the stories might get a bit dull. The Doctor has, of late, been concerned with not being taken seriously, and a greater command of language would give him a more authoritative image. I find that each Doctor in some way responds to the principal frustration of their successor, and thinking about Capaldi's Doctor from a position of building authority would do that nicely. Of course, the Doctor will always be dumbing down that which we mere humans cannot understand and that calls for a silly word or two, and the broad audience of Doctor Who means he can never sound too buried in a thesaurus. All I am saying is we could use a few spacio-temporal hyperlinks instead of magic doors in our future.
