With the departure of David Tennant in “The End of Time Part 2” a new Doctor (Matt Smith) takes control of the series.

The season starts strong with “Eleventh Hour” which introduces us to the Doctor’s new companion Amy Pond (Karen Gillan), and ends with a great two-parter (“The Pandorica Opens” and “The Big Bang“) involving the end of the universe, but it does have some ups (“Amy’s Choice,” “Vincent and the Doctor“) and downs (“Victory of the Daleks“) over the course of the season. I also thought the other two-parters from this season (apart from the finale) with the Silurians and the return of the Weeping Angels weren’t as strong as the episodes which introduced the characters.

Well it looks like American audiences will finally get a chance to see the latest adventures of the man known simply as the Doctor.  The Sci-Fi Channel and BBC Worldwide announced an agreement allowing Sci-Fi to start showing all 13 episodes of the first season of the new Doctor Who with an option for season two.  For those who don’t know the tale Doctor Who is a time lord from the planet Gallifrey who travels time and space with his companions in his TARDIS.  One of the longest running shows of all time that ran on the BBC for 26 years, ending in 1989 (and a best forgotten tv-movie in 1996), finally got a new lease on life last year with the adventures of the new Doctor (Christopher Eccleston) and his companion Rose Tyler (Billie Piper).  Start looking for episodes Friday nights 9:00/8:00 on the Sci-Fi Channel beginning in March.
