How do you cope with the big hole in the evening? Do you console yourselves with Merlin or dig out your DVD collection?
My cable provider still doesn't have BBC America, so I'm mostly glad that now I don't have to be upset that I'm missing out on Doctor Who.
Merlin can actually be pretty good. My iPad doesn't seem to think so, though, as it wanted me to change the word to "Merkin".
Being on for 6 weeks (and my being away for conventions for 2 of them) it's not really been on long enough for me to miss it.
Merlin will be watched. To be fair though, I was looking forward to Merlin more than Doctor Who last week.
I've been watching the McCoy episodes I haven't seen. They seem pretty compatible with modern Who. Fenric had the Doctor shaking his companion's faith and I just finished Silver Nemesis which has the question "Doctor Who?" (not to mention a funny reaction to it).
