I can't get back to sleep. I tried texting Michael, but I guess he's probably asleep.

OMJ. (OMJ = Oh My Joss)

The apparent title for the final 2 part story of the 10th Doctor seems to be:

The End of Time

How cool is that?

But maybe it's just the title of one of the specials? Or possibly not even that. I don't know. It was revealed in a trailer for those final 2 specials (coming around Christmas) at ComicCon. The trailer confirms the appearance of a major villain that has long been rumored; pictures of this villain have been in circulation for months, but this trailer has the villains reveal it's name, removing all doubts. If you don't want to know look away...

The Master (played John Simm)

It's been said that some of the imagery in these specials might be dream images, and that's referenced in the trailer as well, so this might be a nightmare image from the Doctor's perspective. But still. The Master. And he's not the only one coming back. They don't even show all the people coming back in the trailer.

You can see a really poorly filmed bootleg copy of the trailer here.

There was also more info about the November Special: The Waters of Mars, which sounds more impressive than the teaser for it would have us believe. I've now seen pictures of the monsters from the episode and they are freaky!

Sometime between now & December, we'll also be getting an Animated Who, Dreamland. The Doctor will also appear in 2 episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures, which most likely starts airing in September. The season will also feature K9 in 6 episodes (12 episodes in a season, telling 6 stories), and the Judoon will also appear.

I was hoping for a Children In Need mini-episode this year, but supposedly that's not happening.

All together the 10th Doctor seems likely to appear less than a dozen times after "Journey's End".

01 Music of the Spheres (mini)
02 The Next Doctor
03 Planet of the Dead
04 Dreamland (animated)
05 The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith, Part I
06 The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith, Part II
07 The Waters of Mars
08 The End of Time, Part I
09 The End of Time, Part II

He's referenced in several Sarah Jane & Torchwood episodes though. And he appears in flashbacks in the Sarah Jane episode "Secrets of the Stars, Part I".

It's hoped that The Sarah Jane Adventures will have a 4th Season, which would most likely air next year. Torchwood's Season 3 ratings were the best the show has ever gotten, and were also the best reviewed episodes of the series so it seems likely that there will be more of that, but where and when is anybody's guess. We'll have 13 episodes (at least) with the 11th Doctor, his companion Amy Pond, and returning guest star Alex Kingston as River Song. And the new K9 tv series should begin airing sometime next year as well.
