1. Behind The Camera Genius
Many of the articles that I read before the announcement of the New Doctor referred to Capaldi as an Academy Award winner. I had to go look it up. He won an Oscar for his directing of "Franz Kafka's It's A Wonderful Life," a "short" at only 82 minutes. If you haven't seen this, seriously, go and find it. You can watch it on Amazon Prime Instant Video for free. The title is absurd and the premise goes along the lines of Shakespeare in Love, but it made me laugh until my stomach hurt. (Spoiler. At one point, we see a very horrified-looking kangaroo and are relieved when cockroaches take their turn.) And Peter Capaldi was the director behind it. With that to his credit, I would really like to see him take on the directorial role for an episode of Doctor Who. I would like to see him direct with John Moran, the author of "The Fires of Pompeii" as the writer. There are so many things that I can look forward to that I'll have to cut myself off now before I lose track of myself and write one hundred thousand words.

That's Kaki pronounced like the pants, thank you very much, my family nickname and writing name. I am a Red Sox-loving, Doctor Who-quoting, Shaara-reading walking string quartet of a Mormon writer from Boston. I currently work 40 hours at a stressful desk job with a salary that lets me pick up and travel to places like Ireland or Philadelphia. I have no husband or kids, but I have five nephews to keep me entertained. When not writing, working or eating too much Indian food, I'm always looking for something new to learn, whether it's French or family history.
