More than 70,000 Doctor Who fans participated in Mashable's live blog of the BBC's revelation of the 12th Doctor, Peter Capaldi, on Sunday.
While we got to meet the newest Time Lord, we also got to (virtually) hang out with some of our closest fellow Whovians. Leading up to the 2 p.m. ET announcement, we asked fans to speculate who would be the next Doctor and share some of their favorite Who moments.
