Yeah, it probably won't be for a year (With the exception of the Christmas special) but any expectations/speculation?
-Hopefully we get sort of a 'back to basics' approach a bit, with the Doctor presumed dead.
-With the Brig's death mentioned, it's possible there might be a similar mention for Sarah Jane (Although that might be in her own series).
-Probably going to see the Daleks again, although we sort of got them a bit last episode, but it was damaged and messed up. The Daleks should be credible again, since their 'victory' and redesign they've only escaped, trapped the Doctor, turned into stone and shot by River song, and damaged by the Doctor.
-Of course the name thing, the Silence and Madame Kovarian will have some role to play in this season. I also expect River to show up, as she still has to get the sonic and end up at the library. Might as well consider her a recurring character, sort of like the Brig and Jack.
-I expect we'll have a new companion as well at some point.
-There's still as Dorian mentioned the "Fall of the Eleventh" and the Question. I think the Fall of the Eleventh is of course going to be the end of Smith, and the regeneration into the Twelfth Doctor. If Smith is to regenerate, we can probably expect the new Doctor to be announced at some point in 2012. Also wouldn't mind if the regeneration is a bit different this time, without the Tenth's 'farewell' tour.
-Hopefully the ratings get a bit better. While Star Trek shows typically last only seven seasons, Doctor Who is of course a bit different. Of course if there is a cancellation it would probably be revived again at some point down the line.
-As for any other old enemies, we've already had Smith have plenty of run-ins with Cybermen (Although Closing Time was the only story in which they were the main bad guys). There are of course rumors of the Master returning, possibly as Simm. (He doesn't necesarilly need to regenerate either-Ainley's Master lasted through four different Doctors) I'm actually not too keen on Omega, we've already had a mad time lord founder in Rassilon, although Omega of course was more scientific than the society builder/ruler Rassilon was.
As for other aliens, I wouldn't mind the Zygons returning although shape-shifting aliens have been kind of overdone in Nuwho and it's spinoffs. I wouldn't mind seeing the Angels again, but hopefully in a better story.
-Fans still hope for a multi-Doctor story, but although Smith has really fit into the role of the Doctor I still think it's too soon for Tennant to do something. I personally would have Mcgann, the guy deserves another live-action appearence as the Doctor IMO.
-Of course I expect 'kisses to the past' here and there. Last season it was the many Hartnell (and some Troughton) cameos, this season it was Tennant's companions being mentioned as the holograms and in the finale. Well we'll see.
