Ok, the excitement is building as we await the series final of Doctor Who. *No spoilers please.* So it’s probably a good time for another open Whoverse thread. We’re going to be somewhat Time Lord deprived for a bit. But at least there’s Cap’n Jack.

Maybe I could wile away the time writing me/Capn’Jack slashfic. Would that actually be slashfic? Do the time streams need to meet?

Oh, and since - spoilers notwithstanding - we know there’s going to be a regeneration, it might be time also for a bit of speculation on who will replace David Tennant.

Update: Tigtog has provided a thread for those who need to vent at Russell T. Davies (who wrote this episode). I can see the need.

No spoilers!

Ok, so I’m totally not getting why anyone dislikes River Song. Can anyone enlighten me?

Update: Particularly given the big hints about the nature of River Song’s relationship with the Doctor, I thought sending her off to a world where she looks after made up children was a big disappointment. She should have been liberated to be a scholar adventurer in another timestream (h/t Shakira) or if there wasn’t enough of her to save, to have had adventures in all the books in all the world (h/t P). It was a library after all!

[As the astute will note, discussion of this ep is proceeding on FB and gchat… We need a fanfic revolution!]

Who else is becoming impatient for Auntie ABC to show us more of the scrumptious David Tennant and his charmingly ruthless ways? They haven’t even shown us the last Christmas special yet!
