Any Doctor Who Fans? **UK AIR-DATE SPOILERS ABOUND** — Page 18

Now that's the Ten I knew and loathed before Donna came along - and in "Journey's End", too. He's always had an inner dictator just waiting to leap out - that's why Simm played the Master while doing a Tennant impersonation. Ten sounded awfully Master-like for a few moments in "The Waters of Mars".

Lindsay Duncan was just marvelous in this, and brought out the best in Tennant, as actresses over thirty-five or so tend to do. And I loved her character for never, ever letting the Doctor take away her agency, even at the expense of her life. Ten is always making decisions for humans without their leave- dumping Rose in the other universe with alt!Ten, ripping out Donna's memories, abandoning Jack and breaking his wristband device, deposing Harriet Jones. Adelaide said "no" in the most emphatic way possible. Good on her.

Hee, I know that was the point, Spidey. I'm just glad they finally Went There - I mean, they've sort of gone there before, with moments like Donna saying Ten needs someone to stop him, but the fact is that he never got called out on a lot of his megalomaniac tendencies. Maybe RTD feels that with the regeneration coming, he can finally finish that character arc. It's just a shame he felt the need to drag it out for so long, because it made me like the Doctor a whole lot less than I otherwise would have.

So...anybody got any death predictions? I imagine it'll be some kind of deliberate self-sacrifice - a reversal of his denial of death at the end of "The Waters of Mars", and an acknowledgment that some things are bigger than he is. Or at least I hope that's how it'll go. If we get yet another Sparkly Disco Jesus Doctor moment I might cry. (And please, lawd have mercy, let Rose be uninvolved. Please.)

Donna's fiance Lance isn't back -- as far as I know it's a new guy in her life.

I know the actor's name is David Harewood, and I think his character is the author of a book the Doctor was seen holding during the filming of some scenes.

I love this fan made video. Here is the plot:

"2 parallel worlds collide. The Doctor is haunting Rose through a fracture in time present in an old share house located near the Cardiff rift. But can he get the message to her in time through the use of sally sparrow and the weeping angels?"


Tears of an Angel

Episodes 3 & 4 showed up last night on BBCA On Demand---whew!

I hope that Donna's at least raised her self-esteem and her job status even without the Doctor's intervention - her mother did look like she was going to lay off the verbal abuse a bit at the end there. Donna's just too great to be kept down by some piffling memory loss. :)

BBCAmerica has announced that The first part of the two-part finale will air on DECEMBER 26!!! Preview Clip below:
Doctor Who The End of Time Part 1 Preview

Assuming they air the second part on New Year's Day, we might just get it the day after, January 2. Fingers crossed...

Loved The Doctor's comments about "Good Queen Bess." Guess we know know why she wanted his head in The Shakespeare Code...

I honestly don't remember that in "The Shakespeare Code." I'll have to go back and re-watch it. lol

It's a good book, Beautiful Chaos. I have mopst of them, but my local Borders has been lax in getting them in as of late (as well as the Torchwood series). And the local B & N doesn't have any of them (one of the reasons I don't shop there much).

In the "Tears Of An Angel" link you posted, what movie was the Billie footage taken from? Spirit Talk?

I have to start collecting the books.

I have only seen Doctor Who from 2005 and on, I haven't seen previous Doctor Who seasons and I am debating if I want to. I know I should but idk I'm just hesitant...
