also, does the doctor having two hearts give him abilities beyond those of normal humans? Like I dunno, maybe he's stronger than earthlings due to all that blood pumping in his body all the time.
They've shown him to have strength far above human level. But, that also depends on the incarnation. The 7th Doc having superior strength doesn't help when you're 4'11. The 8th Doc, on the other hand, kicked down a foot-thick steel morgue door with his bare foot. So, it all depends on the situation, the Doctor, and the writer at the time...

Bull.
You don't always need superior strength either.
There are thousands maybe hundreds of thousands of martial arts and fighting techniques.
Duuuude... .....I'm talking about fucking Sylvester McCoy. You and I both know nothing he throws is going to hurt. And at the most, we've seen THAT DOCTOR flip people off their feet with that 3rd Doctor Venusian karate stuff. But, in the end, and like I said, it depends on the size of the incarnation. That's a provable fact throughout the show, because the action is always dependent on the actor cast for him. Superhuman strength isn't going to save Hartnell's frail ass...
You would hope (if you aren't the one who has it) that the Force requires a degree of control. Like a Green Lantern power ring.
No, it only requires midichlorians.

It gives me the same feeling I get when I see a painting of Spock giving a shirtless Kirk a backrub.
Yeah, kinda why I've passed on the Doctor Who/Star Trek comic crossover.

LeBlanc and Atkinson both race cars in their off time. Tom Cruise actually had the highest time for a while as did Simon Cowell.

I've had that as one of my wallpapers for a few years now. I think it is my wife's favorite. She definitely loves it more than when I set Scarlett Johannson's naked pics as wallpaper.
One of the old companions wrote a "tell-all" where she bitches about some of the actors, including Peter Davison and Tom Baker. Seen here, reading it... LOL!!!!
Saw the Rose ep. Fucking awesome. Ecclestion(sp?) does a great job as the Doctor. The script is funny and shows a connection to the old series while being fully accessible to new viewers. The Autons seemed like a bit of a throw-away villian so they could concentrate on the introductory material, but that's ok. They only appeared in Pertwee's era anyways. Good characterizations. Ok looking TARDIS (I would have liked something more like the '96 TV movie with the classic control panel, since it's supposed to do every damn thing under the sun), but nothing too much to complain about. Nice shots of the outside of the TARDIS and being able to see the control inside. Overall, I'm stoked about watching the rest of this series.
No official date, yet. My guess is probably sometime in late August or September. It will only be about half a season, though. Then, the Christmas special introducing the new companion. SPOILERS! Then, the rest of the season.
As an aside, a recent Radio Times poll had the Weeping Angels winning "best Doctor Who monsters of all-time" with a whopping 49.4% of the vote. Daleks fell to second with 17%. Third through fifth were The Silence, the Master, and the Vashta Nerada. Moffat creations took three of the top five spots!
