Between the hardcore Whovians and all my beloved mother-frakkers, things are looking rosy for The Sci Fi Channel. Season 4 of "Doctor Who" had its American premiere last Friday with the 90-minute "Voyage of the Damned" special, a Titanic-themed episode that teamed the good Doctor with pop princess Kylie Minogue, and it proved to be a ratings hit for Sci Fi. The episode aired with the highest ratings for a season premiere since the first season ran on Sci Fi in 2006. Add to that the fact that "Battlestar Galactica" hit a ratings high with its final-season premiere, and it's champagne time over at the channel.
"Doctor Who" will be back with regular episodes this Friday, staring the ever charming David Tennant as The Doctor and bringing back Catherine Tate as the whiny, slightly annoying Donna. I hope that she'll grow on me, but I miss Martha already.
