Well, she will actually be in three episodes, but that's apparently not including cameos. So she can make an appearance in quite a few more. I kind of ruined some of the season for myself by reading the episode guides. But I can say the plots are superb from what I read.
What I was talking about with the Pompeii episode is if the lady's "prophecy" was a reference to the return of Rose...kinda like how Bad Wolf appeared in the first season. I really can't say anymore than that without going into major spoilers on the Rose plot line later in the season.

This is the same format SciFi has followed with the last two seasons (although we have gotten much closer to the UK in airing). SciFi does the "Christmas Special" as the first episode of the new season, which we get...whenever. April is much better than September or July. An unexpected side effect of the US writer's strike (although I think I could have held out till July for The Doctor if we'd gotten more episodes of Pushing Daisies and Chuck, and possibly Heroes).

I did! I liked it a lot; certainly the ending was unexpected, as I was rolling my eyes (at first) at the predictability of the storyline, and suddenly... it wasn't so predictable.
I also watched the first regular episode of The Sarah Jane Adventures. I like it, actually. Sure, it's a bit different, but the characters are enjoyable enough for me to give the show a real try.

Three solid episodes so far. I'm impressed by this season, especially after the sketchy Voyage of the Damned. Catherine Tate is alright. Overacts, but for the most part...and it's nice that there aren't those awkward love moments between them. More *SPOILERS* ahead...
So...the bees are disappearing, hints at the Doctor's death, and the prophecy "She(Rose) will be returning"? I'm sure these will all be connected in later episodes. Well, I'm certain considering I've annoyingly read the spoilers. I can never wait when it comes to things like that. The last episode of this season is going to be amazing.

All in all, a night with a lot of death on SciFi, considering the body count on Doctor Who, and then...BattleStar Galactica.
That's why you should watch Sarah Jane first, give you some light stuff before all the depression.  I seriously had to fast forward some parts of BSG.
Voyage was a little bloated, but as far as the new companion not having all the awkward love moments... well, I liked the semi-romantic moments with Rose, but I started to loose interest with Martha. She wasn't as interesting a character, and her crush on the Doctor was a little pathetic.

Body count continued, as last night was the season finale of Torchwood on BBC America.

Me too ~ and I watched it again this evening!
I normally watch episodes twice too - once with my husband and daughter, and then the next day with my son (because he normally works Saturday evenings). But this week, he wasn't working, and watched it with us, so I didn't record it - though now I wish I had! I think I might just invest in I-Player, so that I can!
quote:
I heard those words from the Ood and wondered too 
There is a LOT of speculation on the Doctor Who forums (yes, I'm a saddo, I've joined two, lol) - if you want to talk about it more, pm me. 
quote:
What are you thinking of Donna now? The Dr seemed to get a bit irritated at her at one point, but she's making him think about things he's never thought about before (like treatment of the Ood).
I thought she did ok in this episode. Still found her annoying in parts when she seemed to lapse into a couple of her cameos, but I admired the way she acted empathically towards the Ood, and was very convinced by it.
quote:
I wonder if it's an advantage for me that I've never really watched her in anything else except the 'Do I look bovered?' trailers that Beeb2 (I think) ran a while back.
I think it probably is.

For those who watched classic Doctor Who... was there always this many casting changes?
I believe Sarah Jane was a companion for 4 seasons, but she went through 2 different Doctors. It's been difficult to really get into the show, when I'm constantly having to adjust to new people. I really liked Doctor Nine, and I got used to Doctor Ten, but a new companion all the time?
