Personally, for all those who are angry about having this young whippersnapper as David Tennant's replacement in Doctor Who, I'm going to reserve judgment until I actually see him. This could actually be an interesting development. I mean, think about it. You have a 26 year old guy play a 900 year old Time Lord. Every time he meets someone who knows of the Doctor, they'll look at him and go, "You're the scourge of the Cybermen? The bane of the Daleks? Can you even shave yet?" =D I see many moments of hilarity in him trying to explain that he may look young, but he's not. I don't know, I'm just going to wait for the next season before I make any decisions.
Though I do think it's dumb that Moffat says he wanted an older Doctor and then bring in a guy who looks more at home on 90210 than on Doctor Who. He just shouldn't say anything until he makes the choice.
And yes, I didn't name the new Doctor because I didn't want to spoil it too badly for anyone.
geekiness,
doctor who
