The Doctor can't become a woman through regeneration. There are already female Time Lords. Each sex regenerates along its' own sex line. At least, that's what's been established so far.
As far as him becoming black, I have no problem with that at all, on the condition that he's a good actor...not just because he's black.

It would be cool if Romana was found to be alive and took over for the Doctor for a few episodes.

Well, we saw a woman's hand pull the Master's ring from his pyre; my first thought was "That's Romana, I'll bet."

Yeah. Couldn't have been the Master's female companion, could it?

I read where Davies was shocked that every Who fanboy out there thought it was The Rani that picked up the ring (when it had never even occurred to him at all). Obviously he's never met fandom, and their amazing ability to pull obscure references and make impossible connections to the most far-fetched minutia of Who lore...
You're right. The Master has never hatched crazy plans that circumvent the standard Timelord regeneration. This could not possibly be part of some gigantic ruse using the woman who was 100% devoted to him throughout the rest of the story and reveled in participating in the evil that he created. Uh-uh. Not possible.

This was part 2 of Rise Of The Cybermen and, though I had taped it last Saturday, I didn't quite find the time to watch it until a few hours ago.
It was pretty good, though it seemed a bit too easy for the Doctor to escape the Cybermen just by using his sonic screwdriver.... but, it got them out of being " Deleted ", hehe...
Loved how Mickey was instrumental in getting the correct code to give the Cybermen back their humanity.
I understand why Mickey stayed behind on that world. His Grandmother was still alive on this world. If it had been me, and it was an Earth where George and Max were still alive... if my parallel world self had died, as Mickey's had.. I would have stayed behind, too, no matter how fucked up that Earth had been.
Also, destroying Cybermen gave Mickey a sense of purpose, which he had lacked previously.
Goodbye, Mickey, I shall miss you..
This week's Dr. Who is on BBC America tomorrow.. check your local listings.
Yeah, that episode was pure pants. I hated it, to be honest. It's a Mark Gatiss episode, and that really surprised me. Usually he's right on the money (The Unquiet Dead for example)...

Yeah, it's the Charles Dickens episode with the 9th Doctor (Eccleston).
Jerry, it would really be worth your time to just go ahead and break down and spend the sixty bucks on the Season One DVD set. Eccleston's Doc is probably the best since Tom Baker. I know everyone loves Tennant, and that's cool. I like his Doctor fine. But, for some reason I'm not ga-ga over his incarnation like 99% of fandom. I just think Eccleston had a more interesting edge to his performance. That's why you should take it from me and go get those DVD's...
Rex, you've only watched New Earth which was a shitty episode. Every actor that plays The Doctor has to find his feet, and sometimes it takes awhile. Tennant's first season was pretty hit-and-miss. But, if you would just give Season Three a go I really think you would find some of his episodes worth your time...
I forced myself to watch the whole first season with Tennant. I know I should have watched the current season but that season really left a bad taste in my mouth. I'll probably netflix it eventually.

I feel the same way, Pro.. as much as I like Tennant, Eccleston was the man!
His Doctor actually seemed alone, dark, and mysterious.
Tennant is fun, but Eccleston just seemed perfect for the part.
I just might get the dvd's..
Oh, and I did see Unquiet Dead after all.. a while back.. and did like it a lot.

Well, I'm proud of you then. And, I'm sorry. His first season had some real suck ones in there. Of course, Season Three is not flawless. It has a two-part Dalek story that's just pure balls! No redeeming quality about it whatsoever. I highly suggest skipping Daleks in Manhatten/Evolution of the Daleks. It blows, and you're missing absolutely nothing.
But, the rest of the season is pretty much gold. Definitely Netflix Season Three if you want to get back into the Who action.
BTW, anyone know who the singer Kylie Minogue is? Well, she'll be in this year's Christmas episode/special. She's hot, and I can't wait to check her out in Who.
Props to you too, Jerry, for recognizing the superiority of the Ninth Doctor. I miss that guy, and just think it will be a cold day in hell before we see him again. Eccleston's not exactly one to look backwards in his career, and I feel like he might never reprise the role ever again...even in an anniversary multi-Doc crossover or anything. Which would be a fucking shame on par with Tom Baker's having never shown up again...
Honestly, don't bet on it, Jerry. It's for the annual Children In Need tv special they do every year. Every year the Doctor Who staff have given the show something to attract viewers. One year was the "Dimensions in Time" Doctors 4 - 7 teamup, another was the "Curse of the Fatal Death" parody with Rowan Atkinson, Hugh Grant, and other big name Brit stars playing The Doctor, and two years ago was a five-minute scene that took place immediately after Eccleston regenerated into Tennant, showcasing Tennant's Doc going through the post-regen trauma, and freaking Rose out. These mini-episodes are never included in the DVD sets or anything (save "Curse of the Fatal Death" which was released by itself for charity profit), as the Children In Need foundation owns them separately from the normal BBC produced episodes.
However, I'm really hoping they will make an exception for this and provide it with the DVD set of Season Four.
Meanwhile, however, I will be illegally downloading the SHIT out of this...
Did you ever see Curse of the Fatal Death, with Rowan Atkinson playing The Doctor? It's fucking hilarious! Plus, it's written by Stephen Moffat (the same guy that wrote The Empty Child/Doctor Dances, Blink, Girl in the Fireplace...which I don't know if you've seen yet, and the upcoming Timecrash...which is the name of the Peter Davison/David Tennant team-up we're talking about here).
