Doctor Who is still going strong. The BBC is planning to make a Doctor Who movie to be released in theaters. No one knows who the doctor will be, David Tennant or new Doctor Matt Smith.

There’s also going to be another Doctor Who animated series, called Dreamland. Looks like it will be seven 6-minute episodes on Children’s BBC, with the voice of Tennant.

And then there’s a new companion. Very young Karen Gillan, seen above.

Yeah, but what about an all Muppet version of Doctor Who? C’mon BBC, do you have No vision?

Rick Kelvington makes a great video. A mash-up of classic Trek and modern Doctor who. It’s called “Trek Through Time.” Okay nerds, time to weigh in on who would win when the Enterprise encounters the TARDIS.

Obviously Kirk would bang the Doctor’s current companion, that’s a given. But who would win?

Here’s ABC’s latest sneak peak of Lost season 5. I’m no genius, but I think Ben might still be lying.

There’s a bunch of new pics from “The Next Doctor”. You can find a bunch over at io9 and some more here. Looks like an awesome episode. A future Doctor, New cyber-leader, weird cybermen animal things and Christmas. It doesn’t get much better.

I love BSG, but I gotta be honest. This new Caprica series looks ill-advised. It just looks like a boring drama that will leave you frustrated. And it just doesn’t look very good. Prequels suck because there is no drama BEFORE something happens.

Nothing shocking here, but that lawyer guy looks suspiciously like….

Here’s the new trailer for the BSG finale. Pretty much what you’d expect. Action, intrigue, cylons talking about killing their parents, a bunch of kissing and the usual skinjobs.

Here’s the latest poster for the upcoming season of Lost. Lost will return on Wednesday, January 21st 2009.

The first two minutes of the Doctor Who 2008 Christmas Special as part of the BBC’S Children In Need charity night. Damnit this makes my geek blood boil. In a good way. What is that Cyberman thing? Some sort of cyber-bull?

Looks like it’s official now. David Tennant will no longer be the Doctor. From SciFi Wire:

David Tennant announced that he will quit as the title character in the BBC’s Doctor Who, after becoming one of the most popular Time Lords in the history of the BBC science fiction show, the BBC reported.

Tennant stepped into the Tardis in 2005 and will leave the role after four special episodes are broadcast next year.
…
Tennant, the 10th actor to play the Doctor, left fans guessing about his return at the end of the latest season. In the last episode, which aired in the United Kingdom in July, the Doctor had to defeat his enemies, the Daleks, to save the universe. Almost 10 million people watched as the Time Lord apparently started the process of regeneration–but did not complete it.

This news makes geeks sad as he was among the best Doctors ever.
