Well Torchwood is coming to an end, so it MUST be about time for Doctor Who to start again!
Mixed feelings on the last series. "Daleks of Manhattan" easily the worst thing since they resurrected the series. John Simm a brilliant (if somewhat Simon Pegg-ish) Master in the finale - but otherwise it got all overblown and gushing, as Mr Davies seems increasingly prone to do. On the plus side, "Family of Blood/Human Nature" was excellent and "Blink" was, quite probably, the best stand-alone episode of sci-fi ever televised, anywhere, anywhen. DT is a great actor, not being used to his full potential yet I don't think, but I still have some serious doubts about assistant choice post-Rose.

I have to say that I wasn't a fan of "Daleks of Manhattan" either. But I do think that David Tennent is AWESOME!!!!

And two asides:
1) I can't believe it was three years ago that I started this thread! 2) Put Peri down as my favourite assistant, though admittedly not on acting grounds.

Peri? Hush yer mouth!
My favourite doctor/companion play off is still patrick troughton's Doctor & Jamie. I agree re: the finale for season 3 - it sucks monkey scrotums. Davies is overly gushy at the best of times, but that was taking it to a whole 'nother level of gushy-dom. Blergh. Also agree re: Blink. Good stuff.

Troghton? No, no. You want TOM BAKER! He's the man!

For the first time, I'm a bit sceptic about watching the next Doctor Who episode.. >.<

Is anyone else caught up on Series 4 so far? I'm basically loving every minute of it. I wasn't so sold on "Silence in the Library," but the second part ("Forest of the Dead") I enjoyed much more!

Oh, yeah. Steven Moffat is a great writer - Blink in season 3, and now this! Brilliant. Mind ****ing, too. X) I'm loving it.

I cannot wait for the last episode of this season.. The last one just managed to surprise me a million times. And combining three shows in one is pretty scary, I have to say. Nice to see all of them again, though.
And I just love the fact that Dawkins was there, too.

I didn't like the final episode as much as I thought I would... it was all so contrived... I don't know. And Donna's fate was not satisfying. At all. I really grew to like her this season, in fact much more than Rose or Martha, I think, for her being in ways much more mature. Oh well! Still a decent season.
I would spoiler this if I could figure out how, so I'll be vague instead: the best part of the whole episode was the major villain -- I was completely entertained by his presence.

Yeah, I liked the previous episode a lot more than the finale, too. It did tie up some things and explain other things, but in all, everything just went back to the way it was.. I really liked Donna as well, it was a shame that she's out - and as someone said, that was the worst fate thus far for a companion. The Doctor should've just let her die - but I guess he's pretty done with everyone dying.
And even I don't have any kind of addiction to Torchwood, in fact I've watched one episode and was quite disappointed , I just loved the Captain's comment after the metacrisis: "I can't tell you what I'm thinking right now." XD That was so like him.. So, now we have to wait until 2010, apart from some specials.. >.< I'll die.

2010, I know! But, I guess it's good in a way, to make the transition from Davies to Moffatt heading things up a bit easier.
