I do like Tennant because of the slightly homicidal side to him. When we met Eccleston he was just coming off seeing his world destroyed, he was dark, but more in a sad way.
Tennant came in as a more "fun", "light hearted" Doctor, but when you cross him, or any of the humans he has grown to care about, he becomes near maniacal. God help any body who crosses Tennant's Doctor.

and with that comment i post this. skip to near the end if you don't want to see the fun, but crappy fight scene.

It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
A whole lot more than riches and muscle.

Puscifer, "The Humbling River"
but why can he regenerate when he's near death? and how did he get the ability? did all time lords have it or just him - the doctor?
(and did you notice my use of the past tense there? see, i know his world was destroyed and that he's the last time lord. aren't you proud of me?)
Yes! Very proud. You will love the doctor, yet!
As for regeneration, it's a property of the Time Lord race which enables them to live for centuries. I'm not sure how they developed the ability, though. They don't even have to be near death; they can do it at will. It's considered genetic reshuffling. It's actually pretty cool.

I'm not sure, but i think Timelords can live a tremendous amount of time without regenerationg. The Master Aged the Doctor 1000 years. so they can probably live about that long before regenerating.
but isn't that master guy still alive or something. isn't he the only time lord that beat the system?
I thought that they did? At the beginning of the season, just not at Christmas.
My love went back to London to visit family for Christmas so I got the Christmas special as a speccial little gift from him. (& a lot of cool not found in the US type Doctor Stuff).
The Master isSpoiler:, But yes, he did "beat the system" in order to gain extra regenerations...however, Classic DW has us believing he was dead once and for all, and obviously not the case.
In retrospect with turtlesong getting all this other info I guess the spoiler wasn't a spoiler, but I'm keeping it marked anyway....

they did show voyage of the Damned. but that's the only one i know of.
apparently the Master may return yet again. something about his ring.
I am pretty sure I watched the Christmas Special that introduced Donna on Sci-Fi channel at the start of the last season. I know this only because I remember HATING her character 7 being very upset they were bringing her back, long before I got the series 3 DVD set...as for any prior to that, it was before my introduction to the Doctor, so I couldn't say.

I think you are VERY right. In the classic series when he was "killed" "once and for all" his essence or soul or what-have-you was actually contained in something (can't remember what now) so it is VERY possible that his essence was contained in the ring. Also they insinuate heavily thatSpoiler:

I think I would have screamed until my eyes exploded if she was still as annoying this time around as she was in Runaway Bride!

seeing as this is my fav. episode, i feel it is a public service announcement to inform you that the episode "Blink " will air friday morning at 5 on scifi.
i would watch it if i had the brain power to wake up earlier than six.
I think I'll just put the DVD in....

There's a thin line between love & hate,Razz...
and an even thinner one between jealousy and hate.
YOU MUST CHILL. I HAVE HIDDEN YOUR KEYS.
my mind works different. jealousy and hate are basically the same.
Anyone see tonight's episode?? Fantastic!
YOU MUST CHILL. I HAVE HIDDEN YOUR KEYS.
i have it on my upstairs computer. es ist wunderbar!
I just spent the evening 'catching up' on this season. Having way too much fun picking out theSpoiler:sightings, but at least I'll know what's going on next week.

I'm wondering if they'll bring Rose back for a special? if this is indeed the last season for Tennant, it will probably be then.
