I think the hibernation idea is looking promising.

The other issue with the 'Jack is the Face of Boe' is that Novice Hain says in New Earth that Jack/FoB is the last of his species. This might just be part of the legend and stories surrounding him, but it might also be true - just the idea of Jack starting a whole new species doesn't seem right.

As for why he was so mysterious - I think it's because the Doctor wouldn't want to be told the answer so simply - he'd want to figure it out, pain and all.

How long was it between the news report on Satelite (sp?) 5 and the hospital on New Earth? I got my time frames mixed up. Prolly cos I weren't paying attention!

"Are there no televisual treats to look forward to between now and Christmas?"

The Sarah Jane Adventures will probably start in the autumn. They've almost finished shooting, I believe. That'll be ten 30-minute episodes comprising five two-part stories.

And it's not Who, but BBC2 starts showing Heroes next week, and that's supposed to be very good. That'll run for quite a while, as there's 23 episodes. Assuming you haven't been watching it on Sci-Fi or the interweb.

Dunno about sat5, I think you mean platform one which was set in the year 5 billion and new Earth was the year 5 billion and 23

BBC3 are re running S3, I did see it over the weekend showing the Shakespere Code, cos' when I checked I said "Already??" to my mum

There was the Dr Who Marathon on UK Drama over the weekend, I recorded the Unearthly Child, the Chase, The Two Doctors and The Caves of Androzani, so I'm covered for a few days

"Heroes" very very much worth waiting for (and probably recording to rewatch later on...). I have just watched the whole series on Sci Fi and can't wait to watch it all again (with the benefit of hindsight) on BBC2!

heroes is OK but a seemed a bit too twisty turny for the sake of being twisty turny to my mind.

But its ok. My viewing of it was probably not ideal anyway cos I hate the way Sci-Fi and other cable channels show the each episode half a dozen times and overlap them. So by the time the next one comes round I've forgotten when it is on or miss it cos I think its one I have seen. Same goes for NCIS on FX.
