Robert N EmersonDoctor Who Returns Tonight
June 28th 2007 03:31
The latest season of Doctor Who returns tonight at 8.35pm tonight on the ABC, then continues 7.30pm Saturday nights.
The first episode will be the Christmas special, The Runaway Bride, which takes up from the season finale of season 2/28.
I'm eager to see the direction the new season takes, after the departure of Rose. She was such a focus of the show, sometimes too much so. She gave the Doctor companionship, love and direction at a time when he needed it - he is the only one left, the lonely god, and now who will hold his hand? It's no secret that a new companion is going to join the Doctor - what sort of relationship will she forge with him, and will she be able to fill the void?
I'm curious also to see whether the focus of the series will shift to the Tenth Doctor, or whether the series will once again lie with his companion. It is interesting to see things from his sidekick's perspective - after all, humanity is all we have to define what is alien. However, I really want to see how the Doctor grieves for his loss. I don't want his suffering to be swept out of sight - I want to see him nurse his broken hearts, and to grow from knowing and losing Rose. And as much as I love how the Doctor's soul regenerates and lives on in another body, I certainly don't want his new companion to do the same.

You've brought back fond memories for me.
We always had out dinner at six, just like my mother before me, around the dining room table.
No TV allowed.
But for Doctor Who I allowed the exception as we all liked to watch it. So it was break the rules for Doctor Who.
We all seemed to like one another then, unless I was delusional, but we certainly enjoyed this show together as a family, all 5 of us.

I loved the old Dr. Who, but this new one has a lot more special effects to offer, and the characters seem to have so much more fun...
Great post!
Take care,
Nick
