For the record, the Tennant-finale was spectacular, I'm very optimistic about Moffat and Smith (though The Wench, for whom Tennant was her first doctor, definitely isn't), and as to some of the other things discussed here:
- up till now, generally each Davies season had ONE historical earth episode. I wouldn't mind seeing more episodes in earth's past, and more in earth's future or other worlds too.
-The Time Lords were always asses. At their very best, they were totally neutral non-interfering watchers who refused to do good; at best. In most classic-series episodes where we saw them, they were usually breaking their own rules, manipulating the doctor, and often causing secret fuckups they were desperate to cover up or murdering each other for the presidency.
-As far as the Time Lords, Moffat has gone on record that he doesn't like them, and doesn't want them around, so don't expect them in his run.
-As for multiple-doctor stories, Davies had said he hated these, and didn't want them, though clearly he relented for the Time Crash short. Its interesting to note that it was Moffat who wrote Time Crash, so hopefully he has a different opinion on Multiple Doctor stories; and yes, it would be cool to see pretty well any past doctor again (though frankly, it should probably be at least two seasons before they even think of bringing Tennant back to visit, to give Smith time to build up his own value as a character). Eccleston is not a big Who fan, so I don't know if he'd be willing to come back; Mcgann on the other hand is apparently a big Who fan, and would be likely very willing to come back.
