BUMPED UP: Will BBC America finally air “The Lodger” tonight? The suspense is killing me!
Stupid BBC America: Now the BBC America site says that ”The Lodger” will air next Saturday, July 10. I did think it was odd that they’d have a new episode over a holiday weekend, which is why I checked the freakin’ site in the first place... *sigh*
Whatever. My invitation stands: If the Doctor still needs somewhere to stay, there’s room at my place.
Doctor Who: “The Lodger” debuts on BBC America tonight. Join us over here for the ongoing discussion on this episode after you’ve had a chance to catch up with it.
I’ll post some classic Doctor Who blogging this weekend for everyone else suffering from Doctor Who withdrawal.

Oh, America, you get new Doctor Who tonight.
I remember what that felt like and now I have to wait until Christmas for more.

Actually, we don't. We don't get this episode until next week (July 10th), which is lame . . . not that I haven't already watched the whole series online or anything . . .

But... but... I checked BBC America's website and it says this ep is on tonight!

They've changed the site. It now says "New Episodes Return July 10 at 9 PM...Next episode: The Lodger." Tonight, they're re-airing "The Time of Angels" and "Flesh and Stone."

BBC America really doesn't get it, do they? It's almost like they want people to find alternative ways of watching Doctor Who. Pretty mind-boggling.

Good move BBC America, as if Doctor Who fans needed more reasons to download the episodes...

Yep, there's a really simple way to cut a swathe through the internet bootlegging/piracy/whatever problem that got a bunch of sites shut down recently. Realise that the world is a lot smaller thanks to t'internet and stop releasing things months earlier in the US than the UK and the rest of the world, and vice versa!
If I could watch a series on Sky in the UK at the same pace as the US, I would. I only watch things online because I'm not prepared to wait months for them (True Blood on FX in the UK has only just aired Season 2, and I think we have to wait for at least six months before they show Season 3, which is already airing in the US).

Sneaky stupid bastards. The site did say earlier this morning that tonight's episode was "The Lodger."

At least BBC America has the decency to show reruns for the holiday weekend... Space is having a superhero marathon. :p

Just replay "City of Death" in your heads until new episodes resume.

If we stayed a colony, we wouldn't have to wait as long for Doctor Who episodes and Carter USM would tour here. Independence is overrated.
As read on twitter yesterday - Happy Independence Day Americans!

@Lisa: we more or less stayed a colony and we have to wait every bit as long as you do...
*sigh* The first weekend after is always the worst.

I watched the the remaining 3-4 episodes online b/c I was on vacation, came home to see my dvr hadn't recorded anything b/c my father had unplugged the box, so i had thought i already missed everything, b/c i browsed the channel guide and saw no upcoming DW...... great great episodes... can't wait for the xxmas special!

The Sarah Jane Adventures 11th Doctor episode will be on before the Xmas one. I can't wait to see how they interact. :D Oh and Jo will be in that one as well.
