I don't know. But the time has come to tell you what I think is going on.

Spoilers under this cut...of course...

Hi,

I wanted to draw your attention to this important petition that I recently signed:

"Please release Much Ado About Nothing with David Tennant and Catherine Tate to DVD"
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/muchadotodvd/

I really think this is an important cause, and I'd like to encourage you to add your signature, too. It's free and takes just a few seconds of your time.

Thanks!

thanking Susan B for bring this to my attention. A similar petition helped us get Hamlet filmed, so I think it is worth signing.

My Hammer Time video was forced off the net awhile back. Basically, it is a tribute to the Tenth Doctor. I've uploaded it again. Let's see how long this version lasts. Please cut and paste then change xx to tt.

Sarah Jane Adventures episode written by RTD spoilers under this cut...well...comments about spoilers as I haven't seen the episode. ( Read more... )

Whoa! Baby!

And here we have some more clips from Radio 5. The first clip, I will warn you is very politically heavy and David is rather put on the spot about his liberal views. I feel it is just a little uncomfortable, but by 8:20 we are back to Doctor Who discussions.

The David Tennant Treat 4 Today was a clip of David discussing the End of Time and teasing us about how it would be so emotionally satisfying. And I remembered, watching it again, how excited I was the first time I saw it. How, David absolutely convinced me that End of Time would really be the culmination of the story they had been telling for 4 years. In other words...the Doctor/Rose love story would finally put to an end and we would have some changes for the better with the character.

As you all know, I saw that as bittersweet. Rose would be dead and buried and the Doctor would go on alone...joy and pain and loss and continuing onward with the new man, as we lost David Tennant. And instead...we got such a load of whiny, pointless crap.

Now, watching David talk about it, I can't help thinking he must have been completely delusional as he gave that interview. Both he and Russell must have been completely lost to the level of disappointment they would engender in their audience with that overblown nonsense. Nothing actually happens in End of Time...the Time Lords don't return. Donna isn't saved. Rose and Ten are still parted. Ten is still a miserable sod.

They filmed it thinking to themselves...oh, this is grand...oh, the children are going to be crying and sad to see him go...and excited to see the next Doctor. But really? REALLY...? Did they honestly believe that we spent 4 years living and breathing David's emo Doctor only to watch him whimper off into an explosive regeneration saying, "I don't want to go" or throwing a tantrum over his loss and then moping around through a protracted tour of all his friends lives? It is beyond me how anyone could think that was a good idea for an end to their run, let alone imagine it would stir anyone to an emotion beyond throwing their shoe at the screen. It was completely forgettable in the context of the series, once you move beyond the sad waste of it all and no more Tennant.

SIGH!

Yes, it has come to this. I can't sleep and there are pictures like the following...

Also, the answer to the final Would I Lie to you is...FALSE. I have a Junior Olympic silver medal and a bronze medal in swimming, but nothing whatsoever for skiing. Those of you who called me a bald-faced liar...are now perfectly justified in gloating. :grin:

Some people might not find this to be work safe. There is no bad language, just a cheeky suggestion.

Probably you've already heard him make this request...but oh, go on...listen again!

thinking this David Tennant Treat really is one.

I don't know who is to blame for this particular headline...be it Digital Spy turning things on their head or Stephen Moffatt trying to gain some sympathy. I do not doubt there is some hate mail from David Tennant fans, I do not doubt that this hate mail might come from a "lady." But this is definitely a load of balderdash that the only people who complain about Moff are women who love David Tennant. I simply cannot believe Moff doesn't get "hate mail" from people who hate his writing. Perhaps he's sheltered from that by caring staff or by the blocking effects of his own ego.

The issue, Moff, isn't David Tennant leaving. It was past time for him to go. So, while I definitely miss him, I can't say that I think he would make this show much better. It is how he left the character when he left, which is RTD's fault, that is problematic. And it is how you have chosen to replace him with an actor not quite up to the job and to write stories that are shallow and rather pointless. And I don't believe you fail to get the emails that criticize Matt and yourself. Or do you put them all down to "a lady David Tennant fan."

thinking "just when I was cutting the guy some slack, he has to open up his big mouth."

First up is a link to a YouTube snippet of David Tennant in that outfit of shame, chatting about his new film. ( Read more... )
