The wonderful people at the SciFi Channel have decided to grace the poor americans with the brand new season of Doctor Who! This is the tenth season, with the Doctor being played by David Tennet. They will be airing not only the new episode titled "New Earth", but they will be premiring the movie "The Christmas Invasion" as well!! The Christmas Invasion airs at 8pm EST tonight, and the new episode airs right after it.

WOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm soo fucking excited about this. I was really worried that they wouldn't show the new one, 'cause of how they gotta get the rights to air it. But now they are, and everything's right with the world. :)

If you wish to post spoilers in this thread, you can. However, please keep them to a minimum until the americans get to see the episode. Also, PLEASE MARK YOUR SPOILERS OR I WILL MAKE SURE YOU ARE BANNED.

:D

I too am excite--oh, what's that? It's on RIGHT FUCKING NOW?! Well, see ya.

Yep. The Christmas Invasion is just about over, and it's fucking AWESOME!!!! So far, I love what i see of the new doctor.

Quick question: I know how the Ninth Doctor was the Doctor who resumed the series after a many-year-long hiatus, but did they ever explain how Eighth Doctor became Ninth Doctor?

According to wikipedia, they have never explained it.

So far, the latest Doctor looks awesome! I wasn't dissapointed with the first new episode, although the swordfight bit was rather corny. (But with Doctor Who, corny is good.) I especially liked the random Lion King reference. XD


Also, did anyone else notice K9's brief appearance in the Doctor Who DVD commercial? Does this mean we have to deal with K9 again? Won't he seem rather...erm... how to put this... low tech compared with the rest of the show?

Well if you want to know MINOR SPOILERS One episode only thankfully, and the lowtechness is the source of much snickering on the part of Rose, and one of Mickey's best lines ever.END SPOILERS

Wow, you Americans are only just getting this season over there? Ha, it's good to finally have this situation reversed as it's usually the other way round.:D

This season finished over here ages ago and the season DVD set should be out soon over here so I must get it when it comes out. I wasn't too keen on this doctor at first but as it moves on and he gets more into the role he really is great, perhaps even better than Eccleston. Also there are some truly awsome episodes coming up, my personal favouites being:
BIG SPOILERS
The impossible planet,The Satan pit (REALLY frigging creepy 2-parter, with the impossibly unnerving line: "He is awake", repeated throughout), and the incredible finale called Doomsday. I'm not saying why it's so good though, because it's the best twist in the season!
Also there is a word that you all should look out for just like with "Bad Wolf" last time. Listen out for mention of "Torchwood". That's all I'm saying...
SPOILER ENDS

It really is a great season, even better than last time if truth be told so keep watching...

EDIT: One thing I forgot to ask: Does anyone like the new end credit music? Because I certainly don't.

Well, I don't get to hear enought of the end credit music to even judge that. See, Sci-Fi channel tends to interupt that segment with its 'What's on next!' or other promotional voice-overs.

And honestly, who even sticks around for the credits.

- Oh, I thought I had heard somewhere that K-9 was getting a spin-off or something. I think on Aint-it-cool-news.

Hawk, and anyone else who's seen the second series
SPOILERS
Anyone else notice the subtle homage to the Doom series throughout the Impossible Planet/Satan Pit? The mechanical noises all being ripped directly from the games especially the door opening sounds and the resemblance between the Beast and Baphomet(Icon of Sin). The second's probably coincidence, but the first seemed like a homage.
END SPOILERS

And sweet zombie jesus Bob I hope not, one spinoff is enough.
