Kopic's Doctor Who & Torchwood News |
| Posted: 29 Oct 2008 04:50 PM CDT It's a year before we see his last story as the Doctor, but he is moving on at the end of 2009. I'd expected one more year, to be honest, but it'll be nice to see a reinvigorated series from scratch in 2010 as well. Because that's how the series works... | ||
| Posted: 29 Oct 2008 12:00 PM CDT  David Tennant announced that he will quit as the title character in the BBC&os;s Doctor Who, after becoming one of the most popular Time Lords in the history of the BBC science fiction show, the BBC reported. | ||
| Posted: 29 Oct 2008 11:49 AM CDT Time for me to stand om my soapbox again... If you haven't already heard, David Tennant announced what has been the subject of conjecture for some time; he is going to be leaving the TARDIS after the next season. (If you hadn't heard, don't fret, I linked the article to the title of this posting.) While you may be wondering why I make mention of the good Doctor's exploits on a Torchwood blog, it is in my humble opinion that without David Tennant's portryal of the good Galifreyan, we might not have ever had Torchwood to begin with. Whether or not you find yourself a Whovian or not, we all must agree that Torchwood was introduced as a plot element of Doctor Who, specifically David Tennant's incarnation. If David hadn't made his Doctor so vibarant, so human, we wouldn't have cared. History has shown us a myriad of science fiction contributions that are all flash, but no substance. In fact, some have argued as much of the original series of Doctor Who. But David made his Doctor transcend British television to become a staple of mainstream television and popular culture all over the world, a feat that even the great Tom Baker was not able to achieve. So in closing I leave an open personal note to David. You've made some of the most enjoyable and compelling Science Fiction, and we look forward to your final five hours. For many of us long time fans, you've justified our love of the series, and helped endear many new fans in the process. So I thank you. -Tremas | ||

Now don't make me cry I love this part, and I love this show so much that if I don't take a deep breath and move on now I never will, and you'll be wheeling me out of the Tardis in my bath chair.
