I'm going back and watching series 2-3, and I just finished The Girl in the Fireplace. I don't think I've ever been so heartbroken after a single episode (as opposed to a story-arch episode)! Such a sad episode.
Second half of this series after autumn (which should be good), but the BBC has indicated that 2012 will be somewhat fallow, with no real series to speak of... 🙁
Moffatt has new Sherlock Holmes (it's so-so) for next year, apparently.

Have you seen 'fallen Skies' yet? It's a Steven Spielberg series on TNT network here.

Speaking of which, going back and looking at the DW timeline, why wasn't there any real season to speak of in 2009? Surely it didn't take that long to identify Matt Smith as the new Doctor?

Originally posted by wittywonkaPredictable, though. They're going to have to broadcast every single second of every single Olympic event, which does not leave much room for drama, documentary (except on the life of Saint Coe), quality quizzing (expect several Olympic episodes of QoS, though), or reporting of events occurring anywhere in the UK outside of Stratford (not Avon).
Yeah, that is disappointing.
OK, the last one is not much of a change, it's just shifted East a couple of miles.

Long time Dr. Who fan, but long time American too so getting my shows late, as usual.
Just started watching series 5, actually. Just got through the first 5 episodes. I'm not sure that so far Matt Smith has much chance of ranking as a favorite doctor, but I guess I need to give it some more episodes to see how his personality develops. So far he and Pond both seem like a rehash of the previous doctor & associates and are a bit dull.
Bring back Tom and Leela!
But still developing my opinion 🙂
"The God Complex" may be my favorite DW episode, ever. Again, that's only drawing from episodes from the new series, seasons two through six, but I still felt that good about it. It's well worth the $3 on iTunes for anyone who's interested in seeing it. More than anything, it's a really thought-provoking episode even out of the context of the season story-line. Good stuff.
