Looking forward to see who it is--and especially to see if the Television Zombies were on the right track in their predictions.

I love the Doctor->male; Companion->Female dynamic. I'm not a misogynist by any means, but I would be a bit unhappy about a female Doctor. It wouldn't prevent me from watching future seasons, but wouldn't feel right.-

That's too bad. I think it'd be wonderful to see a woman in the role of the Doctor and see absolutely no conflict there. In fact, I could easily see Billie Piper in that role among others. The difficulty would be in finding her male counterpart -- an actor that could take on the companion role.
The male/female dynamic is great, but there's nothing in my mind that would prevent it from being the Doctor-Female/Companion-Male dynamic.

Im sad to see David Tennant gone from the show. He absolutely made a awsome Doctor. I'm with Dionys, a female Doctor would be a wonderfull twist to the show. After reading the article, is seem that isnt going to be, though we might be looking at our first non-caucasian Doctor. Last, what really is eating me up is having to wait untill the summer of 2010 for new episodes and a Christmas Special 2009.
