[spoiler]Sure that isn't actually Tennant in drag?[/spoiler]

[kkhohoho]

I'm guessing this is a joke.  It is, right? :huh:

[B A D]

That  is a joke. Those photos are of Tennant appearing in some other weird show.

[B A D]

Yes . Most of us are emotionally scarred by your henious act.

[Kommando]

I dunno, maybe their trying to appeal to the Jack Harkness fans.  Ten-Inch looks Hawt! :wub:

It has been confirmed that Tennant will leave after the 4 specials.

Let the speculation on Eleven begin!

[Volsung]

Doctor who! I knew about that saga (4th doctor was aired in france long ago) but I only tried the recent 4 saisons recently.
And i'm quite a junkie now :) I'm watching around 2 episodes each day on my Ipod in the subway :D
I even went to the exhibition during that week end during my stay in London.
I'll have to try Torchwood aswell  :lol:

[the_ultimate_evil]

umm lets just say torchwood isn't as family friendly as doc who

That's what I've heard^^ I'll be cautious.

Too bad to hear that Tennant will leave.

[B A D]

 That really, really sucks.

[Talavar]

I'm sad now.   :(

I was really looking forward to the Stephen Moffat-led season; now I'm not quite so much.

[Bujin]

I'm a huge Tennant fan as well - I'm very bummed that he's leaving.   :(

[AfghanAnt]

Good riddance. I miss Nine anyway Ten always rubbed me the wrong way.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

Strange.  I really, really loved the Tennant Doctor.  I want to know how they'll reconcile this and River.

We were never going to see River again, frankly; but even if we were, it's easy enough to reconcile. The Doctor gave her a tour of his past lives, or in some other way described his look to her, knowing when he met her that she would need to know what he looked like at the time she met him.

Umm, no.  They were quite specific that he still looked the same when she knew him, only older.  In fact, she doesn't even realize it's his past self at first.

i have been wacthing the good doc on tvcorn.com . its to bad about the ten leaving .

maybe the did a mindmeld and she's knows wat he looks like nomatter wat.  :unsure:

anywho, good show  :thumbup:

Kindly read what I said.  She said specifically that when she knew him, he looked exactly the same only older.  When she saw him, it wasn't that she recognized a version of him she had known about before, she thought at first that he was exactly the same version from the same timeline after she had already traveled with him.  It wasn't until she got closer to him that she realized he was younger then she remembered him ever being.

Tennant is leaving after the specials, not immediately. They could easily reconcile things by....."introducing" her (ie, showing how she first met the Doctor) then leaping ahead in time to when he regenerates.

I've read quite a few suggestions for the possible Eleventh Doctor, and don't care for many of them. If James Nesbitt, who is one of those I've heard mentioned, takes the role I may quit watching - he'd be a much better choice for the Master, if they somehow bring the character back. I've read several suggestions for John Simm to take the role, and I'd be fine with that if he hadn't already played the Master.

My top 2 choices? Hugh Laurie (if the rumors about House MD ending after next season are true, although it would open up room for all sorts of jokes....) or Robert Carlyle.

(Actually, someone brought up the idea that Simm as the Doctor could solve the problem that the Doctor is close to running out of regenerations; the Doctor and the Master switch bodies and the Master dies in the Doctor's body, leaving the Doctor trapped in the Master's body, but with more regenerations since the Master was given a new regeneration cycle; the new Doctor will be the next to last, since the 12th regeneration (what would be 12 into 13) is fatal, but I figure there are other ways to get around that)

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

Well, a leap forward is only the way I can think of doing it, other than a big cosmic event that either messes up the timeline totally, or perhaps just prematurely ages the Doctor.

Actually, she didn't. (I was pretty sure you were wrong, since Moffat never struck me as the type of writer to leave a hole like that.  Viewing the episode confirmed it, but it took me till today to find an online transcript for verification).

The exact quote is :

OK, shall we do diaries, then? Where are we this time? Uh, going by your face, I'd say it's early days for you.

And the only other mention is:

Nah, but you are. Your eyes. You're younger than I've ever seen you.

Neither one of which comes close to 'Wow. You look exactly the same as when I met you, only older.'.

Which brings us right back to my explanation.  When The Doctor gets involved with her, he makes sure to explain to her what his earlier incarnation looks like. And the eyes comment can be easily explained by the fact that when The Doctor meets her, he already knows how and when she's going to die.

I'd have no problem with Nesbitt who was AMAZING in Jekyll.  My personal choice would probably be Paterson Joseph, aka "The Marquis de Carabas"

I vaguely recall reading an interview with RTD where he said they were eliminating the regeneration limit- they were going to treat it as if he could regenerate indefinitely; but as I can't find a link, that's just speculation for now.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

I still consider that, and the fact that she at first thought he was the same one she knew, a confirmation that I am correct.

tim curry for dr who!  (my vote anyways)
or maybe rowan atkinson?

[spoiler]River: "You're doing a very good job, acting like you don't know me. I'm assuming there's a reason."

I'm inclined to agree... she may have known later versions of the Doctor... and even was familiar with how he looked in this one.  But she definitely acted as if she thought she knew this one and she expected this one to know her.  This expectation wouldn't come with a later regeneration.[/spoiler]

I would like to see that guy who played Rasputin in the 1971 film, Nicholas and Alexandra, take on the role of Doctor Who.
