And I know I just posted, but then I saw this! Steven Moffat to succeed Russell T Davies as Lead Writer and Executive Producer of the fifth series of Doctor Who.

ASLSLHFSHSLLFJS;ASL THAT IS THE MOST AWESOME THING I HAVE HEARD IN DAYS. MY LIFE IS NOW COMPLETE.

Now I just need to pray Ten will still be around for said fifth series--though with Moffat in charge, at least I can rest assured that it'll be awesome even if my Ten isn't there anymore.

Number One: Your icon is made of win! (And I can't believe that David Tennant is a good enough sport to let random audience participants on the Friday Night Project actually come up on stage to ruffle his hair - you honestly don't ever hear anything bad about him, do you ( ... )

Ahahah, I hadn't heard of the hair-ruffling thing, so I had to go look that up on Youtube. Oh David, how I love you. ^-^

And I think you're right--I mean, generally speaking, I'm going to like most of any episode Ten's in, epically WTF-inducing eps being the only exception ("Last of the Time Lords" was the worst that way, but "Love & Monsters" was a close runner-up), but yeah, I think David's totally capable of being pushed further than many of the writers have been taking him. Deeper stuff, not just...well, like his random emo at the end of "42"; that never quite made sense of me (though since I generally approve of Ten!angst because I'm mean like that, I was willing enough to accept it and try to come up with something to explain it).

Eleventh Doctor...not really, I've mostly just been clinging to Ten. ;p If they wanted to go for a female Doctor my vote would be with Emma Thompson all the way, but beyond that I've got nothin'. Not familiar enough with British actors, I suppose, which is unfortunate.

I don't remember the emo at the end of '42'- maybe that says something about how random it is...but Ten!angst is always good. I think I enjoy it because a) I'm also mean and b)when it's well written angst, it does give the Doctor depths that wouldn't otherwise appear. The way I see it ( ... )
