DW meme: When you see this post, quote from Doctor Who on your LJ.

"Oh come on. Give me a day like this. Give me this one." (The Doctor Dances)

(By the way, the current season? Is killing me. It's firing on all cylinders and utterly wrenching my heart. Turn Left was brutal and glorious, and the week-long wait between episodes is interminable.)

fanboy squee, television, aaahhhhhh

I like the fact that they are re-including old companions in this new series. Every time Rose shows up again, or Sarah Jane, or to a lesser extent Martha, it makes me happy.

I want to see cyber-men and Daleks return. I want The Master back. I want Donna to regenerate, and in the process remember that her name used to be Ramona. I want Jack to make out with the doctor again. More fanservice, please!

I think you mean "Romana". And thank god I am fairly certain that will never happen. Although the return of the Time Lords and the restoration of Gallifrey would make for an interesting plot twist...

The Daleks are a foregone conclusion, have been since the first series trailer. Everything else probably won't happen in what little remains of this season, however.

I actually respect them a lot for not doing more fan-service. I love the use of old companions (the 2-part season finale apparently features basically all the new series companions, plus some of the Torchwood and SJA cast) but I think that the introduction of River Song is basically there to forewarn us that this will not end happily. I will not get the squeeful Doctor/Rose flying off into the sunset that I yearn for so deeply. And that's OK, it's respectable, if it's done right.
