Moffat has said that he doesn't want to use old characters. So, most probably will never be written into episodes again.

Well, that just means more original stories and characters for us.
I reckon the various guest writers are likely to bring back a familiar face or two, but it's nice to know that Moffat's not going to go down the self-referential and in-jokey road.

Photo evidence, plz. (Because I can't be arsed. )

Anyway, I'm glad they're taking a break from Doctor Who, and just throwing in a few specials. The majority of it was getting a bit pants anyway, so it's good that they're taking time off to sex it back up to it's original glory.

Any thoughts on the Cybermen return, anyone? I pissing hate the Cybermen. And not in an "oooh they're so evil and scary" way. But still, there's a lot to play with, and all the Cybermen-involving episodes have been pretty nice, so I can't wait for my next Doctor fix.

Cybermen are pussies. "Look at us made of metal hahaha... O a magnet!"

[I Don't Need A Name]

the cybermen used to be good
but ever since this new series, and they decided to re-write their origin & give them a catchphrase, they have become pointless

[Big D]

They didn't properly re-write their backstory, 'cause The Doctor references the fact that they used to exist in 'our' universe as well. They just came up with a workable excuse for introducing a new version, with new capabilities and no silly allergy to gold.

I saw this one marathon of it once. It was kinda weird xD
