Whovians arent asking much for the 50th anniversary. We want to see our favorite Doctors return, maybe a companion or two, and a good plot to unite them all. This announcement reeks of misplaced priorities, or at the very least some meddling executives. David Tennant and Billie Piper coming back? Yes, it is wonderful, but lets not pretend it was a miracle or even a surprise. David has been telling anyone who would listen that he would be all for returning to the show while Billie played a ridiculously popular companion who happens to have great chemistry and a history (on and off-screen) with the current Doctor. It was a no brainer that doesnt make the one-two punch of Doctors Christopher Eccleston and Sylvester McCoy declining to return. Plot-wise, its the return of the one-time villains from the 70s- the Zygons. For those who havent seen a Tom Baker episode (shame on you), these guys look like giant disembodied tentacles and they can shape shift. Is that seriously how were going to see the past cast members? Shape shifting? Thatsboth clever and a cop out (in traditional Impossible Astronaut style, we all knew it was River under there) which should raise a few red flags for fans
