The new Dr Who show will be aired through the public service network here this Spring. 
"Batman is only meaningful as an answer to a world which in its basics is chaotic and in the hands of the wrong people, where no justice can be found. I think it's very suitable to our perception of the world's condition today... Batman embodies the will to resist evil" -Frank Miller
"Conan, what's the meaning of life?"
"To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women!"
-Conan the Barbarian
"Well, yeah."
-Jason E. Perkins
"If I had a dime for every time Pariah was right about something I'd owe twenty cents."

Agreed that Davies is the worst writer for the series. That much has universally been established. If only Moffat could take the reigns.
As for the Earth thing, I agree...as do a lot of fans these days. Davies needs to get over his fear of getting out there. He stated in the beginning that he was fearful of not having enough SFX budget to convincingly convey alien environments. And while that may be true in comparison to movies, he needs to get a clue. This is tv, and I doubt anyone expects Lucas-level vistas. He needs to venture out there more and more. One of the reasons I love The Impossible Planet was because it was essentially as much of an alien planet that he's allowed the show. We need more, otherwise it gets ridiculous.
As for Tennant, I'm still mixed on him. My biggest gripe isn't that he figures things out too quickly. I understand they have to rush shit because it's an hour-long format. My biggest complaint is the damn sonic screwdriver. I don't know what The Doctor used to create this new version of it (since the original was destroyed back in Davison's era), but it must be made of "Beyonder" particles. The thing does fucking everything. It's ceased to be an accessory, and become a plot-prop to get him out of every situations, and accomplish every feat needed....if only because Davies hates "technobabble" and fake science. I hate to break it to him, but, the sonic screwdriver has gone far beyond the things he hates, and has become fucking magic. It's really getting ludicrous.
Tennant himself, and the 10th Doctor, really seem to shine under other writers. Not to mention, his first season didn't exactly have the strongest scripts. I've heard rumors that alot of the scripts were written for Eccleston's Doc before they knew he was leaving. You can detect this in some of the dialogue. Tennant seemed to be saddled with doing Eccleston dialogue, while converting it to try and fit his Doctor.
Finally, Rose with Tennant never worked for me. Davies was trying to hold on to the magic and chemistry Eccles and Piper had. It didn't work, and that was obvious. Now that I've seen The Runaway Bride, with no Piper, and Tennant finally given the chance to be his Doctor, I have found a glimmer of hope in his regeneration. Rose's departure has left the Doc reminded of how alone he is in the universe, and how alien he is compared to most every other human. Also, the aforementioned "dark side" is given voice and moment in this episode. Love it.
So, in the end, we'll see. I've never judged any Doctor on one season. To do so simply shows either severe impatience, or, an ignorance of the entire concept of how Who changes and evolves. Tennant will either grow and get better with this next season (and that's up to Davies, mainly), or, he won't and I'll just bide my time until we get a new incarnation. Simple as that...

Eccleston naturally had to be judged by one season. McGann I didn't judge as a "good" Doctor until I listened to a few of his audio adventures. I wish he could get more screentime for another televised episode...

on the nintendo wii, you can create and customize little characters (called "mii"s) that appear in certain games, namely the popular (and free!) wii sports title.
most people create one of themselves, or family and friends, but you have the ability to create them for famous characters or celebs or whatever.

Yeah, he loves dominating the finales. I wish he would just hand them off to Moffat, because it's just going to be him trying to outdo the "FINALE OF HYPE" he seems to be repeating...

Doctor Who Producers Want Britney Spears To Play Sex-Crazed Alien Race
Britney SpearsBritney Spears will be offered the chance to play a group of sex-mad aliens on British Sci-Fi TV show Doctor Who.
Show writer Russell T. Davies is a massive fan of the pop princess and wants to take the series to Hollywood so Spears can make a spectacular cameo playing a cloned extra-terrestrial.
Davies says, "I'd love Britney to do it - it would be so much fun. "I'm not sure she'll come to Cardiff where the show is shot so I'm nagging the BBC to fund a Hollywood special."

Old school stuff? Hmmmm...it depends how drunk or high you are. Still, if he's into old school, then, try and get some of the ones with the actor Tom Baker as the Doctor. It won't be hard to find. He's the one with curly brown hair, and long-ass scarf.
See here...

For once, I'm going to have to agree with Rex. If it wasn't for The Satan Pit two parter, The Girl in the Fireplace, and School Reunion (or whatever the Sarah Jane one was called), I would have given this season an F.

I liked: - Tooth & Claw
- School Reunion
- Girl in the Fireplace
- The Impossible Planet
- The Satan Pit
- Army of Ghosts
- Doomsday
Seven out of thirteen is pretty much half. So, I'm okay rating this a B or C season. It was nowhere near as bad as Sylvester McCoy's first season, and nowhere near as good as Eccleston's previous. Still, after this last Christmas Special, I still have high hopes for Season Three...

The Christmas Invasion and School reunion were the two best. I didn't care for The Girl in the Fireplace (I know, that was supposed to be the best one). I don't think I'll even give the new season a try. Tennant does nothing for me and Rose can't carry the show for me.

Yeah, her last episode was the end of this current season. The next season (3) debuts in the UK this Spring, and rumors are that Sci-Fi will have it here by summer.
My advice is this: Give season 3 a shot. Very few claim season 2 was as good as 1. With three, we'll know whether it's Tennant or the writing, or both. If you hate it, then walk away...

I was reading a newspaper the other day & rumours are that they are trying to get John Simm to play the part as The Master for the new series!  I could actually see Simm as a good Doctor rather than The Master, but he is a good actor so he might pull it off if the rumours are true! If you get a chance (if it aint available there, torrent it), check him out in the BBC tv show "Life on Mars" in which he plays a modern day police officer who finds himself stuck in the 70s. Also, there is talk of what I assume is another timelord, called The Professor! By all accounts The Doctor thinks he is a nice guy, but discovers he is evil & a timelord when he sees him regenerate!

Strange thing is, its one series that I have been very interested in watching in the past, but somehow seemed to always miss it!
I have heard nothing but good things about it as well!
