Drive-by venting:
The eleventh Doctor to be announced in under half an hour.
I COULD NOT POSSIBLY BE LESS READY TO HAVE THIS INFORMATION.
BBC trailer: "Chris made nine. David was ten..." WTF THEY ARE ALREADY USING THE PAST TENSE. David will be able to enjoy a quiet, press-free year after today, as ALL the media attention suddenly flocks to some unsuspecting new guy.
Whoever he is, I'll at least give him a chance, lest I become like all the angry Eccleston fans. On the other hand, NOTHING WILL EVER BE THE SAME AGAIN OMG *WEEPS UNCONTROLLABLY*.
Fifteen minutes and counting...
ETA: So, they had me at "Youngest doctor ever."
Seriously though, I have no IDEA who the frak Matt Smith is but I liked him almost instantly. I am so relieved right now. And dare I say excited. And still horribly devastated and heart sick and OMG DAVID WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY but bottom line? I might still be a Doctor Who fan in series five! Yay!
Also, hats off to Doctor Who Confidential for the brilliant editing, because that last twenty minutes of back-and-forth cutting between David and Matt is what REALLY sold it.
Also part 2, HE WROTE MATT A LETTER. *wibble*
