Certain moments in time are fixed…

I’m thrilled to see that the countdown is well and truly running now toward a known air time for ‘The Waters of Mars’. With the new trailer up on the official web site, the date is set – Sunday, 15th November. Just nine days to go… and then the long haul to Christmas.

I’m looking forward to this. I feel like we’ve all been waiting for a really long time. Within 6 or 7 weeks, the 10th Doctor will be gone and a new age for the Time Lord will commence. I trust in the Big T to do the business and deliver a finale worthy of a fine Doctor and an outstanding actor. To do anything less might well be a nail in the coffin.

The new year will bring a new Doctor and the new Doctor Who roleplaying game, too. I hope that the overhaul of the cast and crew will mean great things and will allow the series to maintain the vitality that Russell T delivered when Christopher Eccleston first appeared on the screen in his leather jacket and ear-to-ear grin in 2005.

I think I might be tired of waiting now. ‘The Waters of Mars’ has been a long time coming… and I’m losing patience. If we’re going to have a double episode at Christmas/New Year, then why leave such a short gap before hand from ‘Waters’?

Mind, we have Sarah Jane returning next week, which can’t be bad. Maybe the episode featuring The Doctor somehow interacts with the ‘Waters’ episode and therefore one must follow the other – but, I doubt it..

And I’m left waiting for the Doctor Who RPG also, as Cubicle 7 slip the release into November due to ill-health in their office (the dreaded Swine Flu).

The universe is conspiring against any Who appearing soon… I hope that it’s all worth the wait!

There seems to be considerable advantages in taking the time to attend early play sessions of an unreleased game and then setting the experience to print in a blog… you get quoted ad infinitum as just about the only reliable source of information on the ‘net. I feel this warrants a special mention in the boxed set somewhere…

Anyway – if you care for a run down of ‘what we know’ on the forthcoming Doctor Who RPG from Cubicle 7, expected in October 2009, pop over to Tech Monkey Comics.
