Nope. Because as the Doc said: humans look like timelords. And since timelords, especially hot female ones, are in somewhat short supply...

Romana 1? Romana 2? Ace? The Rani? (To Some) Susan? (Again to some)

If you're trying to say Ace/Rani/Susan are hot, then I can't agree with you. :p

The Romanas are okay I guess, but in my opinion, the "hottest" of-world non-human companion was Leela. :p

How can you say ace wasn't hot, Have you watched the Latter Half of Ghost Light?

I've just watched the latest episode - and the end surprised me. I also think I know who River Song is now... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rani_(Doctor_Who) - Guess who the Rani had killed? Yes, the Doctor, a good man. And who did Octivian say that she did? Kill a good man. Thus, theoretically, I think River Song is the Rani.

EDIT: Darn, link doesn't work. Just click on the link provided, then click on the suggestion, then on 'Mark of the Rani'.

Father Octavian- was he just amazingly good or absolutely brilliant? I'm going with the latter.

By the way, please excuse all spelling and grammar mistakes- they are indeed numerous and highly irritating. If its any consolation they annoy me just as much. Its just combing through and editing your post for a 3rd time for that last 'their' that should be 'they're' would last me to the next general election. I'm not good with keyboards. But I am a good speller in the real world. Really. I'm not just saying that.

You're right- I'm sorry. I mean he was 210%- "I think you knew me at my best." If I'm that brave and noble when facing certain death then I'll be a better man and christian than I thought I was. And without wanting to sound overpreachy it was really, genuinely nice to see that Doctor Who can show christians as good guys- brave and unhypocritical- after the occasionaly overt humanist agenda of Davis. I don't mean to whinge about it- I really enjoyed Davis' era. But every so often there was a line or scene that made a religious person sort of feel unwelcome. Slate totally wiped clean by Octavian though- perhaps the best new character this season.

That would make sense, but there would have to be a lot of loose ends to be filled. I don't think even the writers know who Song is, actually, and they're making things up as they go along.

I still don't know where I heard that voice, though. It might have been LCTR, but I don't think so. It is the most fantastic voice I have ever heard.

Perhaps people should specify which episode they are talking about - Scared Angels or Vampire Fishies ;) Remember - the USA is an episode behind.

I'm talking about Vampires of Venice. I presumed he was, too, though I suppose I could be wrong.

No.
I am also unhappy about the "yeah, the more the merrier" direction the last episode took us - although I assume that COULD lead to us seeing more of the Tardis.
