Doctor Who without Daleks would be like Battlestar Galactica without shiney, silver Cylons.
It's great news that they have reached an agreement. I can't wait to see the new episodes. I guess they will hit the U.S. next year sometime. I think the actor they selected will make a good Time Lord. However, I must say that I am not too crazy about the new Doctor's wardrobe. From what I have seen, it consists of black pants, black t-shirt and a black leather jacket. It seens a bit modern for my tastes. It just doesn't say "the Doctor" to me." Oh, well as long as the scripts are clever and it is true to the 30 year legacy of "Doctor Who," I'll be watching!
