Tonight BBC America will be airing “The Next Doctor” episode for the first time on US television. I am going to tune in and pretend that I didn’t see it months ago via BitTorrent

It’s a great episode, starring David Morrissey and David Tennant (not the first time they’ve appeared together — they were on “Blackpool” together, doing a very hot rendition of “These Boots are Made for Walking”). The Cybermen are also on hand, this time in full Victorian, steampunk regalia.

The best thing about this episode is the whole “next doctor / regeneration” trope. I make it a point to avoid Whoniverse spoilers, so that I can approach each episode with virgin eyes… that’s how I first watched this episode, and let me tell you, it doesn’t disappoint!
