Yeah

I really like Tennant. But I guess no better time than any to say if Tennant isn't the doc, who do you want it to be?

it'd make sense since he did do that jaxkyl/hyde show with Moffat, I guess.

also next weeks is 65 minutes long. That's like nearly one and a half episodes.

Apparently tennant has already started filming the christmas special so it's unlikely we'll have a new doctor.

My bet is it'll be SOMETHING to do with that hand in a jar from his first episode

This makes sense because it hasn't really played a part yet. Also there is a shot of it pretty much every time they were in the TARDIS in this episode. It does look like they're setting it up for something.

I stopped reading at "according to today's Sun". "The Truth", anyone?

At least Rose is gone for good.

Yeah this well felt weak towards the end with tackyness. Maybe some senes of jack and Co sneaking round Dalek ship, but yeah I didn't like the last 20/30 minutes *_*

I dunno, vindication for the Cult of Skaro was pretty great. Surprised Jenny didn't turn up in this episode, considering it did feature everyone ever. Rose finally avec Docteur was nice too. Poor old Bernard Cribbins, though!

Billie and the doctor gettin it onnnnnnnnnn.

*ahem*

I didn't like the ending of this series. There was too much going on. So much that hardly anything got covered properly, every plot twist seemed rushed and lame as if the people writing the script were relentlessly cramming it all in there. It was more entertaining than the rest of the drivel that's on TV at the moment but damn they were cutting it a bit fine.

If James Nesbitt is the next Doctor I don't know what I'll do. I mean what's gonna happen there? Is he gonna fend off droves of Cybermen with a swipe of his yellow pages, cackling before he downs another pint of guinness.

yeah my two complaints are...
A. it was so over the top, like it seemed a farce, yet the actions didn't really get thought over (kinda like how in the 80's story Logopolis, The Master destroys like half the universe but it gets ummed and arred over)
2. Everything was glossed over :/ nothing felt really solid apart from like rose and donna. Characters like Micky, torchwood possy just felt in there for the sake of being in there. Can't badmouth Sarah jane because she was in Genesis of the Daleks.

Yeah, WEAK. I mean the whole Donna/Timelord thing really wrecked it for me. It was kind of a cop-out way of getting her out of the series and she was pretty shit at it overall (although you could tell they had been planning it throughout the whole fuckin series.) Then they needed to tie off Rose like it wasn't good enough to just leave her out there and not bring her back at all (which would have been tragic and awesome.) I like Rose, she has been my favourite of the Rose/Martha/Donna trio but if they were gonna top it off with a fucked up happy-tears ending like this I'd rather they just left her out there rotting away in her own little parallel universe how it was before. The TWO DOCS thing would have been fantastic if they did get a new doctor in and there was two doctors chillin around for a bit, Tennant and Nesbitt (???) but yeah ultimately it wouldn't pan out and then WHO KNOWS IN THE END.

Anyway I'm pretty disappointed.

So yeah what does everyone expect from the future? New assistants, (What the fuck is up with his daughter by the way? They might bring her back for that MABE?)

It looks like they tried to kill off several different storylines at the same time which was just horrid. It's ridiculous that there's now two doctors (just to complete the equilibrium etc) and getting rid of Tate in the most awkwardly bleak way possible. Why should we keep watching if all the current storylines have just been cut off? It's a bit naff.

But you know, another christmas special with *shockhorror* another entrance from the ~~darleks~~ cybermen, woo hoo?

Yeah there was alot of LET'S WRAP IT UP, WRAP IT ALL UP, WRAP EVERYTHING UP NOW!!! in this but I thought that was because Davies is quitting (fired I hope?) and they wanted to give some real writers a fresh start on it without feeling like they have to tie up all his old bullshit.

Let's extrapolate the next series' finale... the Doctor's daughter, River Song, brief return of DoctorDonna, and of course the Master. We might lose Tennant-Doctor there but in the later series they can always bring the clone back for more Tennant, which will bring Rose back... damn, I don't think I'll live to see the end of it.

Yeah, they can basically just recall characters from the "parallel universe" whenever they want a shitty plot device now.

The relaunch has already become too wrapped up in it's own continuity :/
I kinda hope this does mean it'll be something of a fresh start back in the big bold universe instead of being hung up around NEW EARTH and whatever. Moffat is a much better writer so we know that respect it'll be better... In 2010.
