I don't like the idea of a cannon wipe it stinks of reboot

I didn't like Donna because she just seemed to whine too much.

SPOILER ALERT: Here's a recently updated list of who's supposed to be writing what during Season 5 of Doctor Who, along with a few highly spoilery episode titles.
Keep in mind, these are working titles only, and based solely on information found in a couple of actor's CV's.

Present day Earth, alien planet with time monks, WWI with daleks, alien planet with weeping angels, 1580 Venice with vampires, ??? (possibly TARDIS-centric story), post global warming future with Silurians, 1880's with Van Gogh, ???, ??? (but likely present day Earth)
Looks like we're getting a pretty decent assortment next year, with lots of historical adventures and only a couple set during the present day.

It seems to be coming from a fellow with a hit and miss record when it comes to spoilers, but another individual (who generally knows far more than he's telling) said, "He's kind of right, but in some aspects WAY off."
That's led to much speculation that it may be Mondas Cybermen, Cybermen controlled by something else, or perhaps humans who are trying to use cyber-technology for their own ends.

This now appears to be false, or perhaps shifted to a later slot in the season.

1. are you thinking of songs about teapots?
2. What mortal being has his hand flipped like that? Unless is some kind of disfiguration.

Also, I like Rose. But maybe that's because I'm a girl.

And wtf...doesn't she have her human Doctor? GTFO!
Still looking forward to the clip, tho. I predict tears.
11/18/09
There may also be a brief bit where 10.5 senses 10's "death" while out shopping with Rose in the alt universe, but hopefully that's the last we'll see of either of those two.

@shrynx: I went over to imdb after I posted this comment to see what he would be doing and saw this and looked it up. It sounds very promising but they must let him keep his accent, either hi natural or Who but if the American him up the show will fail.
@cooliehawk: I know can't wait to see what he does with it. Ever see Hamlet 2, that movie was fucking weird but funny.

*deep breath*
Otherwise, I am absolutely psyched for the last few David Tennant eps. I really wasn't expecting such a sudden and dark twist in The Waters of Mars and kinda wish we had seen more of that throughout the series.
Ah well, we'll just have to see what they do with Matt Smith.

Oh, I can't WAIT for Steven Moffat to take over.

From the chart I posted above, it looks like Moffat's writing 6 episodes, plus probably the Christmas special -- so about the same as RTD.

I like the character of Ryan but it annoys me how anytime she asks questions he literally kisses her doubts away and tells her not to worry. She should be worried and she should have a say on whether or not she gets involved with any of it.

R'sF: "What's this mysterious note left here on our mantle?"
R:"Mmmm kiss kiss look at the pretty butterfly.. mmmm"
R'sF: "But doesn't this mean someone WAS HERE IN OUR HOUSE?"
R: "These aren't the droids you're looking for. Move along"
R'sF: "Someone broke into our house! Doesn't that concern you?!"
R: "You are feeling sleepy. Very sleepy. Your eyelids are heavy. So heavy you cannot keep them open. When I clap you will awake refreshed and won't remember the mysterious note"
R'sF: "You'd better start explaining or I'm out of here"
R: "I'm a lizard"
R'sF: "That's it, I warned you." (storms out)

Sure, they LOOK human, and I can believe that one could infiltrate a government agency - fake blood tests and so - with little suspension of disbelief.
But that you could sleep with one and not know, that stretches my belief far too far.
[just to clarify...I just don't like the suggestion that they feel exactly the same as humans even during copulation]
11/18/09
I'm also hoping they don't give the V a mode of copulation similar to human (let alone making them biologically compatible). They are supposed to be aliens after all.

I just think that since if you smack their heads open, you can see their lizardskin beneath, then if you're getting nasty with one you should be able to tell the difference too.
The new V's seem a bit too human. I was watching the last one and other than Anna I couldn't see that any of them were supposed to be aliens beyond their uniforms. Which I know is the point, but this includes ones who were basically just among their own kind.
