Poor TARDIS! Poor Big Ben if that's true... it was only 5 years since the last major damage!

Exactly.

NEW CONSOLE

I wonder how THAT'S going to translate into a playset.

They WILL make a playset of it....won't they?

Of course they will!no playsets like..like..no playset!
but anyyyyway..
looks great and I think you can just see the top of the police box doors over the docs shoulder

From a coolness standpoint, I love the look of it. But from a practical standpoint, I think The Doctor must've been high when he rebuilt this console room.

"Hmmmm. I think I'll elevate the console about 13 feet off the Tardis floor, and just for giggles, I'm going to remove ALL of the railings! So that way when we're violently buffeted around by whatever space anomaly we encounter, it increases our chances of falling from a ridiculous height. Maybe later I'll add some 6 foot tall metal spikes to the floor, because HEY, then I might get impaled on one! WOO HOO!"

I know this new Doctor is a bit of a danger junkie but this is a little nuts.

I thought the TARDIS re-built herself(around the doctors regeneration madness said the moff)hence the "what have you got for me this time?"

There's a quick "blink-and-you'll-miss-it" shot in one of the preview trailers (trust me, I've step-framed through them all lol) where The Doctor is wearing welding goggles and welding something underneath the console platform. I just kind of assumed that was a scene of him in the process of rebuilding it.

If the Tards DID rebuild itself that way, then perhaps it's trying to kill him.

I know Tardis-es are grown and have a consciousness, but I was under the impression that there was only so much they could do on their own, that their relationship with their pilot was rather symbiotic in nature.

Elevated platform - check

No railings - check

Giant holes in the floor to fall into - check

Slippery glass platform floor - check

Yep, it's the Tardis of Death. Just need some alligators down those holes.

All kidding and practicality jokes aside though, from a point of view of sheer awesomeness, I totally dig the look of this new console room. Love all the stairwells that branch off the platform to rooms unknown.

Word is we're also going to see many of the other rooms of the Tardis this time around. Which is something I've wanted to see since day one. We got the "wardrobe room" in The Christmas Invasion but so far, that's been it.

Ah good to know. Y'know it's kind of like the whole no seatbelts on the Enterprise thing, considering how much they get tossed around, you'd think sooner or later...

I'd like to see a park room in the TARDIS(a simulated outdoors park that looks,smells and feels real.) just to show how great and impossible the TARDIS is.

Great Caesar's Ghost!!! I love this new console room. It seems more futuristic to me.

bah humbug!!! where's the simple leopard skin of old? or the 8th doctor's tardis? anything but this. you kids can have you're mc escher tardis, i'll take mine with hartnell, davison, or mccoy, thank you very much.

Leopard skin?

You remember the 5th Doctor mentioned it during Time Crash. He said that he didn't like the new desktop appearance the TARDIS had, but it was better than the leopard skin one he had seen.

i'm pretty sure the leopard skin was a knock at the roundels of old. which i still miss, btw.

Couldn't resist:

Never looked at it that way before. I was thinking it was something along the lines more kinky.

Some more new clips of The Eleventh Hour on Blogtor Who today. Beware. Here Be Spoilers!

These clips are like crack to me, I know I shouldn't but I can't help myself.

OH, and I've TOTALLY gotta make me one of them Tardis bird feeders! Sweet! Cos, y'know, there's more seed on the inside.

(wait, that really doesn't make any sense)

Sure it does. Y'know, little bit of seed on the outside... more seed on the inside. Until refill time comes. Then you may have a bit of instability in your feeder's dimensional transcendence matrix.

ARGH TWO DAYS

Dunno if people have seen this. Some people might not want to. Its a clip from Vampires in Venice. Nothing particularly spoilerish, just Matt Smith being The Doc. Nice little classic series nod in there to.

A fun pic from "Victory of the Daleks". I don't think it's very spoilerish but still, I spoilerized it for those who want to remain "clean" until it actually airs.
