Bille Piper leaving Doctor Who

The official announcement has been made.

Apparently, her final episode is the last episode of this season, which airs in another 3 weeks. Yikes. I wonder what they’re going to do to her. Does she get a happy ending? I’m thinking no — they’ve gone out of their way to play up the relationship between the two of them this season. I think that it can only end tragically.

As far as a new companion goes — here’s my idea: We know that Captain Jack is going to be starring in Torchwood, which airs in the Fall. He’s also got a co-star, Gwen, who is played by Eve Myles, the actress who played the Maid in last year’s episode, The Unquiet Dead.

My guess is that the Doctor will show up at the end of the run of Torchwood (or they’ll devote the Doctor Who 2006 Christmas special to this), at which point, Jack and Gwen become the new companions.

Maybe….

Playing Nice

There’s been more than a bit of communications issues among people recently. This post has grown out of something that I was thinking about, and, rather than leave it hanging out there, with the potential for causing issues later, I decided to get this out in the open….and not targeted at any one specific person. Just something that I feel needs to be on the table.

I’m an attention-whore. We all know this. I enjoy being flirted with…I love the game, I love the attention, I love what Eddie Izzard calls the “flirty-flirty, swimmy-swimmy, splashy-splashy.”

That said, if you want to play, play nice. Please respect my partner.

Flirting and playing with me, while completely ignoring her presence? Not cool. Not a way to get on my good side….or hers.

If you want a relationship with me, you also have a relationship with my partner. It doesn’t have to be the same relationship, but there at least needs to be one. That’s only right.

Like I said — this isn’t targeted at any one specific person. I just wanted to have it known. is a wonderful partner, who is cool with how I want to be….and I’d rather not see her ever get hurt for being that open.
