On the cover of the latest DWM Catherine Tate is quoted as saying “Could Donna come back? In sci-fi, anything is possible”, and with the rumours buzzing around now about next year’s specials, you could quite easily believe that anything indeed could be possible. Even something as familiar and, well, as expected as just that.<\/p>\n

I may not be alone in thinking\u00a0last series’\u00a0return of Rose Tyler a pretty unnecesary distraction, prompting a resolution to a story arc that we’d likely all thought was already neatly finished, for better or worse. As one discussion thread on Tolkein fan site Theonering.net<\/a>\u00a0about the forthcoming Hobbit<\/em> movie\/s suggests, many reunions and familiar faces end up making universes once bursting with potential smaller with each return visit – the Star Wars<\/em> prequels may be a case in point. So with Who<\/em> I think there’s a fine path to be treaded. It might be a winner with the present audience (and that may be the bottom line for the show’s producers), but it’s not helping the ‘go-anywhere-do-anything’ promise the original series was built on, and which the new series’ first episode\u00a0reaffirmed.\u00a0New things, new faces, new places are\u00a0as vital to the series as the changing of the lead actor- they’re all in themselves mini-regenerations.\u00a0That said, there’s always\u00a0room for some personal double-standarding, so with the buzz of this week’s rumour<\/a> still in my ears, may I say to no-one’s surprise that this character’s return would be most welcome.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

But it’s also a certaintly in life that not everyone gets a certain return ticket, and your faithful editor is no different. Over the last year ZeusBlog<\/em> has farewelled Jono, original co-editor of Zeus Plug<\/em>, and now I feel it’s my turn to say “goodbye… soonish”. There’s a world beyond the blog that offers a chance to flex my sketching muscles a little more, spring and summer will inevtiably demand the DIY routine, and as some of you already know, there’s the issue of a third family member’s arrival in January\u00a0to address, all going well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So it’s not quite goodbye from me, but ZeusBlog<\/em> is likely to be a quieter place in the months to come, especially with no new episodes to review or further monstrous matches to contest. Fast Return will stick around – it writes itself. And then there’s the Christmas Special. And after that? Well, anything’s possible, isn’t it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
