Next season. 50th birthday bash, I suspect. Also: multiple doctors, please?
After thinking about it for a bit I sort of feel that the Ponds get ditched rather ... easily. Good episode, certainly but a bit ... short?

Christopher Eccleston has said he won't do it and well we've lost the first three plus the actor, Richard Hurndall, who also played the first Doctor in the Five Doctors is dead.
Pity actually.
McCoy, McGann, and both Bakers have said at times that they'd do it, but then said at other times that they're too old now. So a multi-Doctor story might end up with just Davison, Tennant, and Smith. And maybe cardboard cutouts of the others--which would still be better than floating, disembodied heads.
So the Christmas episode won't be the 50th special?
I had issues with The Angels Take Manhattan. It wasn't as good as I'd hoped but this season was a definite improvement over last season, which I kind of hated.
If they don't bring Ten back for the 50th anniversary, I will cry. I do love him.
They change it every season.I thought it was pretty much the same throughout Tennant's run?
I think it changes every Doctor, not every season. Though it didn't used to. Pretty sure it was the same damn set through the first four or five doctors...
Here's the new inside of the Tardis

Really? I can't fathom not starting with "Rose". Then again, that's where I started. But isn't that generally considered when they show "began again"?
By "introductory episode" I did not mean to start and move forward from there. Just that it is a good episode for those who know nothing of Doctor Who.
It is really hard for Doctor Who to go so wrong that I would call it un-enjoyable but this last episode with the star god/ soul sucker thingie just did not do it for me. Add that to the merely enjoyable but underwhelming (mid?) season opener I'm not really feeling it for this season.
I remember when the Doctor would check the air and radiation before even opening the doors...
I can't see why people wouldn't be intrigued by the Shadow Proclamation, if anything I was disappointed that it didn't explain what it was for a while. As for the introductory episode not being "start and move on", I really dislike starting in the middle of a show, but I suppose that's just a quirk of mine. But that's why "Rose" was the only episode I could have started with without going back to the First Doctor.
No, I don't think you understand. A new story arc isn't enough, it has to be the beginning of the show for me. The Ninth Doctor was technically continuing the existing series, but it's close enough to a reboot (and thus a new show) for me to start there.
On the other hand, the speed of the old serials is, at times, coma-inducing.
I really don't want to know the doctor's name. I'll watch, but I'm disappointed they're doing this at all, so it better be brilliant. His charm, for me, has always been in mystery and imagination, and secrets, and questions I want, but don't really want, answers to.
Two things
Since certain clues got dropped during Sylvester McCoys Tenure, I had thought the name The Doctor carried was Rassilon
Clara. I wonder - is this the return of The Doctors Grandaughter?
Or Romana?
Some of the older doctors are excellent with most people rallying behind doctors 4, 5 or 7, it seems at least, to me. Worthwhile, though, to investigate.
How come?

personally, i think it'd be cool to see little trinkets from old incarnations just laying around here and there in the tardis.
without looking at the past too much.Somewhat off topic, but this shit right here? This is why I hated Skyfall.
