And I really hope the Daleks go away for several years. They're no longer special. The first few with Eccleston were good, the 2nd season Cyberman war was great, and even the Daleks in Manhatten was fun. But now they've dragged out all the big names and gotten rid of them. They need to let the Daleks rest and not find any more survivors for awhile, otherwise it'll become as silly as people finding Gilligan's Island every week.
Why not have some lost colony of Time Lords? That'd be a good story. Have the Doctor find them and then realize he doesn't like his people much and leave them again. They need to add some happiness to the show instead of constant mounting tragedy. Another reason I'm glad Moffet will be taking over. I loved the end of the Doctor Dances where "everyone gets to live." It's nice to have those stories instead of contant drama. I think this is the big thing I didn't like about the finale. Yeah, it's nerdy cool to see Davros again; but the Dalek's have been poorly used overall in the relaunch. I think the overuse of them is one of the reasons. Before, you could go years without a Dalek's story. They made sure that each Doctor had at least one. Now, it's at least once a season, which I've heard is due to the agreement with Terry Nation's estate. Also, how many times does the Doctor get to completely wipe out the Daleks only to find another super secret splinter group? As far as other Time Lords, there are several possibilities that I'm wondering if they're ever going to consider. The Monk, the Rani, and Susan.

Finally saw the finale. While I don't care for Donna's fate, it didn't bother me so much. Sure that could be the last we see of her but I suspect she'll be back in some form or another. I liked how Rose's situation was resolved & note that she also had died in the second season.
The big question or at least one of them is what type of companion will the Doctor have next? If Davies is doing the specials next year I would guess he would use the River character he introduced this last season. Another candidate could be Jenny his daughter. Or perhaps he goes it alone for a bit? I think Donna made it clear that he does need somebody but if it's for only 4 or 5 specials before a new writer takes over maybe they'll keep him solo till the regular episodes kick in after next year.
Fair play!

He went to all that trouble of showing everyone together and then Sarah Jane tells him how he has this big family and then they trash that by getting rid of Donna and leaving the Doctor mopey. I think they should've had the Doctor and Donna going off on an adventure, happy as clams, and then contracted Tate to do a scene in the Christmas special where she has to leave. I would be really annoyed if they have a new companion every special that either dies or decides not to travel with the Doctor. I think River won't be showing up until Moffet takes over since he was the one who wrote the episodes featuring her. I got the sense he was was setting up his own run when he introduced her.

I doubt we will ever, ever see River Song. I think that was just a character idea that Moffat introduced for one story. It was a concept character....the future companion/lover/wife. Nothing more, nothing less. We can assume he meets and travels with her either between this finale and the Xmas special (how long is he by himself? Could be centuries of adventures), or she's from a future incarnation (which is what Moffat was implying, per the writer himself in an interview in the Confidential) and we will never see her at all again.
As for Donna (Spoilers for Uschi!) I think her ending was the most tragic of any character he's introduced. So, I loved/hated her ending.
As for the Specials, I've heard that it will be one-off characters, different for each story. Also, RTD isn't writing all of them. He has stated that someone else will be writing at least one of them. Probably Moffat, to help the transition I'd imagine...

It seems to be part of the Doctor's character to be mopey when a companion leaves. Like Sarah Jane said, he really does have a large family. He doesn't have set work hours & he's got the transportation to visit but just chooses not to visit them. I sort of assume it's because he doesn't want to see them grow old & die that he doesn't keep in touch better. And while I hope to see Donna come back & get her happy ending, there is something said for leaving the audience wanting more. While it was nice having Rose come back & get herself a Doctor, it wasn't like it had been during first & second season. Even Martha's appearences were like that & she hadn't been gone long IMHO. I really enjoyed these characters when they were co-stars on the show but it doesn't quite work for me when they reappear as guest stars.
Fair play!

that completely distorts the truth. what about the actors who appear at conventions? or the event staff? surely they too have had sex.

Fans try to ring Dr Who
More than 2,500 people tried to ring Dr Who after his mobile number appeared in the TV show.
The timelord's sidekicks called the Doctor, played by David Tennant, on 07700 900 461 in the series' penultimate show.
Since then, more than 2,500 fans have tried to get through but were left disappointed, reports The Sun.
One fan complained on the BBC website: "I phoned it but there was just an annoying network message."

Judging it was RTD, I actually think it was the only good finale he's done since season one's Parting of the Ways. The meta-clone thing didn't bother me because he was supposed to be a metaphor for Eccleston 9th Doctor (the one she fell in love with in the first place). So, in the end, it could have been worse.....like last year's Jesus-Doctor...ugh...

And Tennant was really funny in that one. I also really liked the Master arc last season. THe Davros arc was a let down.
