    I'm hesitant about sharing this, but Virgin media have spoiled the first half of 'The End of Time."

    I highly advise that you only click on the link if you have a strong constitution and are enough of a fan to watch on Christmas Day regardless of what you read, since some of the plot points mentioned are... well... more than a little retarded.

    Still, you can't tell a movie's plot from a viewmaster reel, and that's essentially what this is. Here's hoping the episode as a whole stands up much better under close scrutiny.

    Here's a bit of new series filming from Matt Smith's first episode that passed under the radar in October. It looks to be a fairly intense scene, but the rain and crowd noise completely drowns out the audio.

    God, I hope they don't make Wilf into an alien/Time Lord/Bad Wolf, etc...

    Wilf is awesome because he's a well-meaning old pensioner who never received the memo that life ends at 60. He's wonderful because he's human.

    I know RTD badly wants to be Joss Whedon, but seriously... this giving everybody magical super powers busllshit needs to stop now.*

    *Which, as this is the final story of RTD's era, I kind of hope it does.

    @GreyHammer: I wish. That would have been way more interesting. All "Heroes has done to me is robbed me of my time and failed to deliver on the promnise of season 1. It is probably my fault for putting up with it, but isn't that how the victim always feels in an abusive relationship? Maybe if I just loved it more, it would be better.

    Having seen the trailer for [REC]² I am definitely less worried. Things we've heard before made it sound like they were going to make a big budget schlockfest...but we're back in the same building, and it looks like some of the same people are still undead. I'm definitely intrigued, although my Italian is far too poor to understand what they're saying.

    Blink is one of my all time favorite Dr. Who episodes, but it wasn't just because of the angels. Still, unless there is a very good reason to bring them back and a stellar script, this seems like a terrible idea.

    @evildead1971: As long as they don't play on the romance. That was what was so refreshing about Donna. A long-termmale companion would be nice too, for a change.

    I'm not set against the 11th by any means. I still miss the 9th -- one series wasn't enough. David Tennant was just exceptional in the role. He nailed the breezy casual thing.

    @Atomsmoosher: I'm like the only person on Earth that's "meh" on Tennant. He was very inconsistent in tone (much of that came from the scripts, which were often uneven), and his portrayal was so: "I have ENNUI! I AM EMOtional."

    When Tennant was goofy, he was great. The rest of the time, feh.
