The 11th Doctor

Wow, he's not even gonna be on our screens for another year and people are already knocking him, with expletives and all caps! O_O

Give the guy a chance for pete's sake!!

Matt Smith, I hope you'll be a fantastic Doctor. *tips hat* I'm sure I'll enjoy discovering it all over again with you... just like I did with DT! :) And if you suck, I'm sure people will hit you with all caps for real then. Please don't suck. :)

Seriously, were people this bad when Nine decided to leave? I'm glad I wasn't in the fandom back then.


Oh and there's a cute interview with David Tennant, in which he talks about why he's leaving the show and is just generally cute and enthusiastic. Over here

I'm actually relieved. Was so worried it would be some huge well known actor and that the person would be bigger than the role. As far as I'm concerned they're doing the exactly right thing bringing an unknown to the role. He'll be all shiny and new and can bring something different to the role and none of us will know what to expect.

I, for one, think we'll be alright. I wasn't sure, but then I saw his interview. He looks dorky, he looks a bit loony, he looks excited. It's gonna be fine.

People didn't like the idea of Eccleston being replaced, and they vowed to never like Ten. Now, look.
People went apeshit when Donna was announced as the companion. Now, look! :)

People will always find something to complain about, you know how it is...

Got to love fandom... Not.

I like the look of him - seems an interesting choice =)

I don't know the guy, so I can't tell yet whether I'm gonna like him or not. I'll just wait and see - and drink tea. *shrugs*

Fandom too often cries wolf for my taste.

Hee, my brother was the one who alerted me to the new doctor, it was on SMH!

I'm glad he's relatively unknown and from the interview he seems very promising! Although now we probably have to wait till Christmas time to see him in action! I can't believe there's so much fanfare over him already!

I will miss DT! I think it was a commentary where Julie Gardner was saying how they asked DT to be the next Doctor and he replied "I'll have to have a long coat"!

I think I read that RTD might be having a different companion for each of the 4 specials. And yeah, I wonder how "old" the new companion will be for Eleven...

Dagnammit, I should've just avoided the internet altogether ;) -- Still haven't seen the ep :(

On the upside, I have no idea who you're talking about, so I still have a surprise in store, methinks.
