\"doctorwhologo\"I have some Doctor Who rumors, kinda, and one big spoiler I have to share. If you want your Doctor Who fanboy\/girl squeeishness to remain intact, then go find something else to look at, like this gallery of science in scifi movies<\/a>.<\/p>

OK, so, with that I’ll do the standard SPOILER ALERT and give you some breathing room…<\/p>

All the riffraff gone? Good.<\/p>

First, the news: in late January, Billie Piper (like I need to say she played Rose Tyler) did a radio interview<\/a> where she said that a Doctor Who movie is in the works! Hard to say how reliable this info is, but there you go. I’d like to see a full-length movie where they have the time needed to tell a solid, deep story. And yes, I’ve seen previous movies (including the abominable one with Paul McGann) and know they are not, um, all that great. Still, as a DW fan, I live in eternal hope.<\/p>

Second, a spoiler for the upcoming series 5: the Blogtor Who blog has a lot of pictures from the filming<\/a>, including this one showing the return of an old friend<\/a>. River Song! Yay! I was wondering if Steven Moffat, the new show runner who wrote the \"Silence in the Library\" two-parter, would tackle this storyline again. To say he is a great writer is to seriously undercompliment him; he wrote \"Blink\" and \"The Doctor Dances\" two-parter, too (as well as the UK comedy \"Coupling\", still one of my all-time favorites). <\/p>

I just hope that at the end of the episode with her, when she and the Doctor are sharing that last melancholy time together she mentioned last season, he hands her a photo of himself as played by David Tennant. She recognized him, after all. <\/p>

Anyway, the photos are fun to go through, if you don’t mind spoilers. I don’t mind mild ones, but I dislike ones that reveal major plot points, so I may just avoid any DW sites for a while now. <\/p>

There’s no official word I can find on when the new season will air, but it should be in the next few months. Yay!<\/p>
