Farewell, Tenth Doctor! I’ve just finished watching the latest and last episode with David Tennant as the Doctor. Sniff. I won’t spoil anything yet for those who haven’t seen it, but it was a nice goodbye to Tennant. Not as great as an episode as I had hoped for (and nothing as spine-tingly exciting as previous finals), but still good (albeit a bit soppy).
I loved David Tennant as the Doctor, and since it was announced that he’d leave the show after the specials, I’ve been really curious to his successor. It was revealed a couple of months ago that the role went to Matt Smith; I wasn’t that impressed by the first photos we saw from him, but looking at the latest trailer and the little tidbit at the end of the final, I’m having more faith as him as the Doctor now.
What do you think? D you like how this new Doctor looks like?

The first half of the episode bored me to be honest, I didn’t want it too it had everything I wanted, Timelords returning, The Master and some comedy elements but it just seemed too much…
The 2nd half however had me in tears and I don’t mind admitting that (although I guessed during the first episode it would be Wilf that ultimately killed the doctor (I had a hunch he would have to shoot him))
It’s too soon to be judging the new doctor, we will give him at least four or five episodes to settle down as its def. going to be interesting with a new doctor, new guy in charge and new TARDIS.

I’m not sure – I think I’ll have to see it to believe it – see if he grows on me lol.

I thought it was terrible – both parts of it. The ‘ending’ of the episode after 60 minutes felt like a daylight robbery – I wanted a proper climax, not a damp squib – and the last half hour really could/should have been ditched.
The Waters of Mars was good, though, so I guess we can forgive RTD on balance. It still scares the heck out of my children!
The next (Moffat-controlled) season will be loads better, I hope…

Is it me, or are Dr Whos starting to look younger?

Doctor Who Is Brilliant! The whole show has me watching certain episodes more than 5 times! I’ve been a fan since the 70’s when it got grat each time. Now, with all the special effects, bringing back Sarah Jane, K9!, and current chacters is just brilliant! Espicially in the last episode of this dvd, just OUTSTANDING!! I wish I could meet Russell T Davies and tell him what a great job he is doing! I wish I could be on the show! I love outer space, and these special effects are just fantastic, keep up this fantastic work!! I never thought I’d be this much into Dr. Who again since Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davidson and all the rest… looking forward to the season 5…

I’m just happy that 11 lumps “uppercuts” in the same category as “sonic screwdrivers,” which is to say the “solution” category.

Okay actually now I come back to it I am excited – any ideas when the season starts?
