Nola's Bounce

TV Good (time) lord, Suw's posted about this week's Doctor Who:

"This episode, more than any other, exemplifies survivor guilt. "Everybody lives, Rose. Just this once, everybody lives," says the Doctor as the victims of the poorly adapted nanogenes are finally cured of their ills. The joy in his face is unparalleled by anything else we have seen in this series - he is for the first time truly delighted that he has been able to act as saviour, in however an indirect way."

Oh yes, absolutely. Although actually the Time War plotline throws open a whole raft of unanswerable questions about what's happened to all of the recognisable Timelords like Romana, and their part in the war. Did it happen during the Eighth Doctor era and did it lead to the regeneration? How was the web of time effected and continuity? Frankly newer and returning viewers have it easier than fans who've been following the books, audios and comic strip all these years. Apparently there is going to be a BIG returning character in the episode which appears the week after next. Personally I'm hoping its The Eighth Doctor (ie, Paul McGann). Wasn't it weird how much screen time he got during that documentary which aired on the opening night of the new series?
