Thus, my prediction is that we'll see The Doctor revert to David Tennant for the mid-season cliffhanger finale. God I hope I'm wrong.
LMAO!
I doubt they'd bring Tennant back unless it's a team up. I''d love a Eccelston/Tennant/Smith story.
Maybe they'll bring back the Tennant clone from the Rose earth. He would get mixed up with Smith in a regeneration and create a whole new doctor with unlimited regenerations.
Hey,maybe he would regenerate as a woman and they would reveal that he is River Phoenix!

I was recently contracted to write something about Marvel's Death's Head, during my wiki-researching, I found out that The Doctor is actually part of his (and marvel's, for that matter) continuity. Which is kind of neat. The 7th doctor was responsible for Death's Head being human-sized even though he used to be as big as any run of the mill Decepticon.
Anyone else know of Marvel characters that had a run in with the doc?
Not off the top of my head. Although, writers are constantly making "Doctor" references with Doc Pym in the Avengers. But, I don't think any superheroes have ever met The Doctor. And, while I knew there was a Marvel UK connection between Death's Head and Doctor Who, I didn't know Death's Head was originally a Transformer. Weird!
Oh, and in Alan Davis' Excalibur back in the late 80's, there was a British military response team called "W.H.O." (Weird Happenings Organization) run by a "Brigadier Allison Lethbridge-Stewart" whose father had also been a "Brigadier" in another "top secret" group (i.e. UNIT)...
Now that I think more about it, it's probably Death's Head visiting the doctor's universe and not the other way around. Primarily because the doctor doesn't really travel across dimensions intentionally.
From what I've read, Death's head was originally created in a Transformers comic, as a bounty hunter of sorts. But the creators made a comic of his own to prevent Hasbro from gaining the rights to the characters. And from then on he found his way to other continuities.
It's really hard to place how DH fits in Marvel's continuity since he's probably the Marvel equivalent to Lobo. He's been in a universe where all the marvel heroes died in the hands of Baron Von Strucker and he's had a total of two run ins with the timelord (one was an accident during his giant transformer days, and the other when he was normal sized and went after a bounty placed on the doctor's head)
Also, on the doctor being in comic books - Qubit from Irredeemable is obviously modeled after tenth. But I dunno, outside of the trenchcoat, they don't seem to get the doctor. Not in the dialogue, not in the way he behaves (there's sort of a blatant attempt to push it when one of the characters emphasizes his "love for the earth" but feh, it seems forced.)
Only comic I have read (and bear in mind that I haven't read much) that seems to "get it" is one of the recent IDW comics with Eleventh, Amy, and Rory. Everything from the look to the script is immediately recognizable as Eleventh.
The story was about rory and amy checking out the data plan on the "phone that can call anywhere through time and space", which resulted in the time vortex bringing all of the spam mails to life.
There's also a band of merceneries led by a Danny Trejo lookalike. The doctor tricked all of them with the animated ms office stapler and a viagra adbot.
ever heard of Mr. X? Mr. X was a puppet on the Canadian version of Howdy Doody in the 50's. He traveled through time and space in a Whatsis Box, teaching kids about history. He was pulled from the show because parents claimed he was too frightening for their kids. He was also created by Sydney Newman, who initiated another show at the BBC a few years later. . .what was it called?

And please this is a rough moment for all us Who fans so nobody say "Somewhere in Hell the Devil's putting the wood to fine piece of ass." it's just disrespectful.
Her and Baker developed a great chemistry and sense of timing together. One of the best. With her gone, I wonder how RTD is going to gay up the show to keep it going.

Whenever Doctor Who fans gather together, it usually doesn’t take long before the question arises over the identity of the best “Doctor” of all-time. Far less often do followers of the BBC sci-fi show debate the identity of the best Doctor’s “companion.” Why? Largely because — with all due respect to Billie Piper, Karen Gillan, Nicola Bryant, Katy Manning et. al. — it is widely agreed that the best ever actor to play Watson to the Doctor’s Holmes was Elisabeth Sladen, who portrayed investigative reporter Sarah Jane Smith on the show, and who died earlier today.
The actress joined Doctor Who in 1973 and had the good fortune to appear opposite two excellent Doctors: Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker. But Sladen more than held her own as she battled Daleks, Cybermen, and other alien adversaries. The character of the plucky Sarah Jane proved so lastingly popular with fans that, thirty years after originally departing the TARDIS in 1976, the actress returned to the role to front the spin-off show The Sarah Jane Adventures.
However, it is was that initial onscreen farewell between Sarah Jane and Tom Baker’s Doctor which came to mind when I heard of Sladen’s death. I’ve embedded the sequence below. If you can watch it without getting something in your eye then you are a stronger person — or a lesser Whovian — than I.
