Here's another question, how much of what the Doctor does is deliberate?
More than once he's arrived at the wrong place, meant to go to Rome landed in Pompei on Volcano day, AND during an alien invasion. Meant to go to NY to see Elvis, landed in London during the coronation AND during an alien invasion.
Now of course he has lots of uneventful trips which no one bothers ot make episodes about (this one time the Doctor went Edo Japan and had a splended time) and of course this is a TV show and Rome+aliens is going to get more eyeballs than Rome without aliens.
But we only have his word he's went to the wrong place or didn't know about the aliens. None of his companions have a clue how to operate the TARDIS. So he could be playing dumb while really working to clean up the time line.
OR he could be a puppet of some higher force (the soul of TARDIS)?

Even the TARDIS said so itself (herself? Himself? Thingy?!) in the last episode.

Spoilers much?!
To be blunt, not a great idea entering a discussion with a lack of necessary information.
What necessary information? Knowing the current series doesn't stop you from discussing past series does it?
Kid_Kyoto was putting forth a hypothesis of sorts which i didn't want to agree or disagree with due to spoilers, hence my comment of 'No Comment'.
Meh.. he hasn't missed much though. Tennant's stuff was the best.
Meh, i like Tennant too, but i have been (and still am) giving Smith a chance.

No worries, I can't really jump into a thread like this and not expect some spoilers.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE 10th DOCTOR DIES!?!?!?
I still like my theory though, he knows where he's going and why but plays dumb for his companions and the bystanders.
*sigh* i tried K_K.
tbh i always thought your theory was the correct one (i.e. i had the same theory back in the day), he is pretty sneaky lets not forget.

I like to think of the doctor as being a bit sinister, and an absolutely arrogant egomaniac to boot. It makes the series much more enjoyable when I watch it that way. But it's like comics, different writers have slightly different takes, and I just watch for those little nods to the more sinister nature of the Doctor.
I'm not going to get into a debate about which series is better, it's personal taste, but much of the Matt Smith stuff suits my idea of what it should be about more than the RTD stuff, though RTD's time did have some great episodes and brought me back into Doctor Who after seeing it a few times (old series) as a little kid.
I really like RTD's Doctor Who! The show is still fantastic under Moffat, but there is now other tv show that brought me this close to tears as Doomsday or the season 4 finale did. I don't know a lot of shows or movies which can do that. Toy Story 3 is the only one I can think of.
Really enjoyed The Doctor's Wife. Though it wasn't exactly what I was hoping for when I saw the old control room in the trailer.

Last Saturday was really weird for me. Firstly, I noticed that
Spoiler:
The Tardis' sign actually said pull when the door is always opened inwards, which turned out to be mentioned later in the episode
and then I made a comment about voting for 'No one' in the Eurovision Song Contest, intending to mean I wouldn't vote, but then the final act's (think it was the final one, or around that) song was called 'No one'...
So yeah, that was my evening of precognition

Hey guys, I found out a few days ago from a friend that...
Spoiler:
....That Sarah Jane will be appearing in another doctor who episode maybe in this series. Basically I think what happens is she dies gets put into a Tardis shaped coffin the priest is David tenant (Yes the 10th doctor returns!) and the 11th doctor is there! Apparently they argue over who's Tardis is who’s, because of Amy that takes off the St john's ambulance sigh off the 11th doctors Tardis and paints one on the 10th doctors Tardis. Apparently in the end they take the wrong one!Ha! ...
....Hope this helps?

I hope so very much this is true! I would LOVE for this to happen! It reminds me of that Christmas special "The Next Doctor" during Tennant's reign of awesome.

I've been feeling that this episode isn't going to be good from the comments I've seen so far. Trying to watch it on the BBC iplayer, but it's buggy and not working yet.

Sarcasm detector is not sure if serious.
Totally serious.
/could not be more serious.

David Tennet I would give up my GF just spend a single day with him, just to talk about his hobbies. If he says he plays sc2 I will challenge HIM!

This isn't awkward at all..
I've read some theories on the internet that seem to make sense.
Spoiler:
The Ganger Doctor could be the one that was killed at the begining of the season, he could have easily lied about being two hundred years older.
I loved that episode !
I thought doctor who was a nerdgasmic horrible show. I was proven wrong.
After watching him the Norton Show with Josh Groban (Musical idol) and the other book writer... My mind was wiped of that heresy!

I don't know a lot of shows or movies which can do that. Toy Story 3 is the only one I can think of.
