OTOH? If the writing keeps up, I can't imagine a Who geek like Tennant giving up the job for a loooong time.
I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.
Buffy ,'End of Days'
Boxed Set, Vol. III: "That Can't Be Good..."
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
*wails*
I'm loving Tennant, but I just finished watching Casanova, and his mullet is now firmly entrenched in my brain. Could they have made the "greatest lover" look any more like a rat?
I think not :P
I was watching some cooking show with DT and his dad and there young David is, correcting one of the old gents on who the first Doctor actually was, hah! You gotta love an actor who's a bigger geek than you are.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Give in to the obsession, JB.
I do hope Tennant sticks around. I'm really loving the show right now, and I'd like it to keep going.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
heh.
and now I'm imagining watching DW at age fifty, with Daniel Radcliffe as the Doctor...
but yes, I'm loving the show, and hope the writing keeps up and that RTD doesn't stretch himself thin with his other shows (dare I say: pull a Whedon and abandon his oldest children? I wasn't involved in the Buffy or Angel fandoms, but rather came to them post-Firefly, and it seemed that the latter seasons suffered, and the correlation to his absence seems glaring)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
In the 1996 television movie the Eighth Doctor explicitly said that a Time Lord has "thirteen lives"
that's a television movie, does it really count for canonical purposes?
Also, am I the only one who doesn't like this Doctor? He seems too . . .frivolous or something. I mean, there's always been an certain amount of wry humor associated with The Doctor, but always backed by gravitas. I don't feel the gravitas here
hides in corner, waits to be shouted down lovingly.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
"I could bring down your government with six words" wasn't gravitas enough for you?

apparently not, since I don't even remember him saying it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
that's a television movie, does it really count for canonical purposes?
Yep, it's all canon. But there's also a strong Who precedent for ignoring the inconvenient bits of canon and making up your own if there's a story you want to tell. (How many times has the Earth been destroyed now?)

During the Time War, all sorts of things that happened could have been reset.
