Spoilers: A question about the latest season of Dr. Who [More:]I just saw the Ood episode. When they mention that the Doctor's song will be ending soon, are they suggesting he'll die or be regenerating soon?
I wondered the same thing but I haven't heard or read anything about a change. Of course it could mean that the whole alone thing will be ending. Maybe there are other Time Lords out there. Maybe this is going to be this series' Bad Wolf?

Damn damn I had no idea this season had started and now I'm 6 episodes behind! Argh. Time to hit the p2p networks.
So, in general, how is the series so far? Good? Ok? Some good plots? How's the new companion?

boy am i ever getting freakin' annoyed at the blocked media. "you are not in the uk." so? who cares??
there used to be a black-box ip masker plugin for firefox, but i can't find it. anyone know of a workaround?

This series has not been so great. The Pompeii episode was OK but otherwise it's been kind of meh. I think it really is time they got some fresh talent in on the script writing front as the stories and ideas have got really stale already.

Anyway, let's hope a decent episode comes along soon.

I've enjoyed the latest season so far. I've a minor problem with it in that I have a tendency to get a bit too excited about each next episode, and that excitement can over-hype and spoil the actual watching, but so far, so good.

Next year Doctor who will be back, but only for a small number of specials. It'll probably be Tennant as he's been seen filming the Xmas special.

From the hints dropped, I think that
- there's gonna be some time-lords return thing going on. (Orchestrated by the Master)
- Tennant or Alternative World Tennant will be exterminated.
- Tennant will regenerate into Tennant. (paradox?)

I'm really enjoying the new season, and not just because this miraculous thing called the Internet allows me to watch fresh episodes only days after their original showing. (Believe me, as an American kid of the 80s who grew up on PBS replays of Who episodes aged anywhere from nine months to nineteen years, this immediacy is awesome.)

I had my doubts about Catherine Tate, but she's coming along nicely. This week's episode could've been a lot of wank given the title, but I couldn't help but enjoy it. Pompeii, as others have said, was the strongest so far, though the Sontaran double-episode was pretty great. Of all of the new, the first one was just not for me.

And if you've not been listening to the ep-by-ep commentary podcasts from BBC 7 (via iTunes), you're missing out on some goodness.

About Doctor #10's future ... methinks this season (and the 2008 Christmas Episode) will be his last. Tennant has been great to watch and I'll hate to see him go, but one replacement rumor makes me grin like an madman.
