David Tennant of 'Doctor Who' to exit hit series

This sentiment may have already been expressed by a few like-minded folks who left comment at Hero Complex, but actor David Tennant is the best "Doctor" since Tom Baker and I am sorry to hear he is leaving the series.

Get more on this from Hero Complex here by the way.

Personally, I credit SCI FI Channel for even making this worthwhile news in the U.S. The cable channel has drawn increasing attention over the years for its high-quality television productions of "Battlestar Galactica," "Dune" and "Eureka."

At least it earned attention from millions of fans like myself. Acquiring replay rights to 'Who' was an excellent idea. This is the longest running television science fiction show and the mythology of the character deserves a wider audience.

I had to play catch up and I have sacrificed hours of sleep watching seasons two and three of "Doctor Who." Tennant will complete his obligations for the coming 'Who' specials this season. Producer/writer Russell T. Davies leaves as well.

It has been speculated that new showrunner Steven Moffat may select Paterson Joseph of "Jekyll" to become the Doctor. If this happens he would be the first black Doctor... awesome.
