Two things I haven't been a fan of so far, and they're both intentional choices that Moffat has gone with.
1. The movie poster idea. It doesn't have the same feel as the rest of the series and it removes the sense of serial-ness/continuity to the season.
2. The Ponds are not continuous companions. This is a problem to me. It was revealed in the "Waters of Mars" special that the Doctor MUST have a companion to balance out his power - to "humanize" him, so to speak. Having him simply "check in" on them doesn't feel like it honors this previous internal struggle they worked so hard to show in the Doctor's personality in years past.
I understand that these are choices that Moffat has made, and I tremendously respect him as a writer (see: TinTin and Sherlock), but I just don't like the direction these choices have taken this year so far.


I think they have alluded to the fact that it's not a good thing he's been on his own Amy even says "this is what happens when you travel alone too long", and my best guess is that this will be instrumental in their downfall.

Damn the Tintin theme song is awesome. Just sounds like adventure.

Tintin will never be the same without the original, awesome, intro music.

I wish i knew the romanticism for tintin... i only ever saw the cartoon and i remember feeling like i was too young for it (or rather putting words to that feeling later on). Never got me

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

I think it's just cartoony enough to avoid the creepy fate of Polar Express. I will be seeing this with the kids - who have read every single Tintin about 20 times each.

Looks really good, although not quite epic. The trailer did nothing really to tell is who the hell this tin tin guy actually is.


He's got a dog named Snowy and he's on an adventure. How much more backstory do you want?

>> ^DarkenRahl:

Way too much Uncanny Valley action going on in this.


I was going to say just the opposite. I want to see this just to find out how deep the Uncanny Valley has gotten.

From someone whose never heard of Tintin without the Rin in front, this seems like a refreshingly classic old school adventure tale. Heroes, villans, sidekicks, chase scenes, narrow escapes, humorous quips - I say let's do this.

the bigger problem for me really, is having these characters speak english. Tintin is and always was a french speaking character. This takes some of the magic away.
