This show seems to have some popularity. So I can see it continuing. The Doctor is only allowed so many lives and he has just about used them up. They are going to have to come up with some neat trick to continue the series if the Doctor uses up his last life. But I sure they will figure something out. He could still have a child who would take over. He just has to finally commit himself to one of his companions. He will have to do a better job than our Mal did with Inara.

From my understanding the last life was used up with the last doctor whose actor quit the show and they had to pull a fast one to bring another back by killing off the entire race of Time Lords or something similar.

I am just catching up with the new Doctor Who series so I don't know the whole story behind the War with the Daleks. He may have gained am awful lot of lives if he were to get the lives of the Timelords who died in the war. What ever happened must have been more than a simple weapon of destruction or a lot of the other Timelords would have returned with another life. The only thing that come to mind is the Tardis. If a Timelords Tardis is destroyed, what does that do to their lives? Without a Tardis are they lost?

I thought it was that Timelords were allowed (i.e., given by their leaders) 12 regenerations (which means that there're two more after Tennant), but that it's possible to start a new "regeneration cycle" under certain circumstances.
I recall hearing/reading that this happened with the Master --he was way past his twelfth form when we last saw him.

We applied the cortical electrodes but were unable to get a neural reaction from either patient.

12 regenerations is correct, but your math is off. The total would be 13 lives, not 12. You have to include his first life, then add 12 regenerations, so that means after Tennent (the 10th Doctor) there is room for 3 more!
I'd given some thought to movin' off the edge -- not an ideal location -- thinkin' a place in the middle.

The 11th regeneration or 12th Doctor will be interesting as they have already scripted that doctor to be a bit evil. I don't remember if that was from one of the movies or radio shows, but it is mentioned on the Wikipedia about Doctor Who.
I like Tenet the best, with a tie between Baker and Eccleston. One has to wonder how the original run would of been if they spent as much comparatively on production values as they do now.

Oooh, a thread about my second favorite series on a site for my first favorite! How can I resist commenting.
Not that I have anything more intelligent to say than David Tennant....yummmmy! Sigh! He gets me through the long cold winter nights. Going to see him in the flesh in the spring playing Hamlet at the West End. Should be good.
Has anyone here managed to catch him in his role of Cassanova in the BBC 3 part dramatisation? Wow was he good, playing a young Peter O'Toole. Such a funny, sexy and sad set of programmes. I would really recommend it if you could get hold of it.

Oh god yes!
"Gentlemen, I'm sure we can settle this amicably. After all, if you could do what I can do you'd do it too but you can't. I can and I have and I'll do it again. And aren't you happy for me, just a...little bit...? And you, sir, just consider. You love your wife, *I* love your wife, aren't we on the same side?"
Best. Opening. Speech. EVA!

I heard that they were looking at James Nesbitt from "Jekyll" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0497298/ to take over the role after Tennet leaves (in about 2 years)
Jekyll was a fun BBC mini-series (only 6 episodes) if you can find it online, it's very much worth watching.
In fact, if you're really curious about the show it's possible you could find a bit of it here: http://videostic.com/TvShows/showDtls.php?id=82

Hubby is a big Dr. Who fan with old VHS from the primeval days. Some tapes are 20 years old. He was excited when the new doctor came on, and got me hooked.
I still cry when I watch the season ender of #2...sorry, blanking on the name....and was very empathetic for the doctor in the first few episodes of this season while he was "in mourning."
"The Girl in the Fireplace" was my favorite episode until this season, when I agree it must be "Blink". Scared the heebie jeebies out of the 19 year old National Guard stepson. We *so* want to hide a weeping angel in the house. Yes, we are evil.
The actress that plays Madame Pompadour in "Girl" is now doing "Moonlight", a vampire/detective show on Fridays. I like it, but unfortunately, knowing networks' penchant for canceling Friday night series with actual characters, don't see it lasting much longer.
