RTD is back! Um, I don't know what to think about this, actually. I hope he can take the show in a cool new direction. I don't want to see Rose again. And probably not Jack; I feel like his character is kind of done. OTOH It would be absolutely lovely to have characters I actually care about (the Doctor included). But does this ever actually happen? I feel like maybe the Beeb is squirrelly about all of this, or just generally uncomfortable, to ask someone back who left.

Then again, we will be able to see if RTD can ignite the same level of ratings he did at the show's start.

I'm curious, anyhow. First big question is will he stick with a female doctor or go back to tried and true? (And *that* might be something the Beeb would weigh in on, IDK. Especially if they are feeling vulnerable and squirrely).

I saw someone on Twitter saying "RTD will obviously want more diverse writers" but IDK what they based that on beyond hope and optimism

Oh, good, the announcement is barely six hours old, and already people are watching the show airing in their heads.

ARGH!

But look at us, having fannish conversations about Doctor Who for the first time in a jillion years. (At least it feels that way to me)

YAY!
