An Intriguing New Picture

For all of you who love clues, here's an interesting picture that's recently come out to tease us before The Next Doctor airs. Many people have had a theory that maybe David Morrissey's Doctor is actually a Time Lord (and might actually truly be a future Doctor), who's turned himself human with a chameleon arch, and (like the Doctor in Human Nature/Family of Blood) his dreams inspired him to go around as the Doctor.

Tidings of Comfort and...What the??

So, another Children in Need telethon has come and we got our yearly Doctory goodness. I hope you folks in the UK donated lots of money. It really does look like a very, very good cause.

Anyway, this year we were graced with the first two minutes of this year's Christmas Special, The Next Doctor. It was good to see our poor old Ten looking chipper. He does really love Christmas, doesn't he, despite all the crap that happens? Though, of course, things have to go tits up, don't they? This year we get Cybermen terrorizing Victorian England. If that wasn't going to be complicated enough, the Doctor also has to deal with a cocky guy who claims to be him.

The Oncoming Loss

So, the dust has settled and everyone knows now; David Tennant is leaving Doctor Who. At the end of the 2009 specials, the Tenth Doctor will be no more.

Being the big ol' girl that I am, (how convenient, since I am a girl) I blubbered like a baby the night I found out. Not constantly, mind you, but every now and then I'd see something that would set me off. The first being while I was watching David make his announcement at the NTAs. Despite the shock, I kept it together...until David's voice broke with emotion and it was all over for me. The floodgates opened and I was a blubbery mess. Then, deciding to go back and watch all I could of series 2 again, I was watching The Christmas Invasion, and when Ten leaned into Jackie and said:



"It's all waiting out there, Jackie. It's brand new to me. All those planets, creatures and horizons, I haven't seem them yet! Not with these eyes..."


I was gone again.
