Doctor Who

Well they are going to annouce the actor who will play the #11th Doctor today. I suspect, even if I don't go out looking for the information, I'm going to know by the end of the day. Trying to avoid it will be like trying to avoid who would be the next James Bond, it will be everywhere ( Read more... )

I'm one of those who don't really care who it is (unfortunately, as an American, I'm not familiar with any of the frontrunners).

I'm sure whoever it is will leave their mark on the character....

I'm not to bothered myself. Just that no matter who it is, there will be unhappy people.

Well, I can honestly say I've never heard of the person they picked but he looks intriguing and I'm looking forward to his interpretation.

I've never seen anything he is in, so cannot comment on him as an actor. My only concern is he seems a shippers dream, which I have reservations about.

I've found that studiously avoiding Doctor Who online fandom is extremely beneficial to my ability to enjoy the show so unless they actually ship him *on* the show I'll be OK.

I wasn't very happy with the in show shipping done between Ten and Rose. I prefer my Doctor asexual. I felt they dodged a bullet with Human!Ten/Rose so I'm not looking forward to them blithely tra-la-laing down that path with another relationship.

I avoid all fic for Dr Who, even in Torchwood as well. It has The Doctor, I don't read it.

I hated the Doctor/Rose with a passion. I just hope they learned from it!

Damn!!! This is what happens when I get into a self imposed exile from all things in this world. I didn't even have a clue that there was going to be a new Doctor!! And what happened with David Tennant?? I thought his life long dream was to be the the Doctor someday??? And when the heck are we getting the shortened new season?? Sorry for the questions. I'm sort of just thinking out loud.

Oh yeah and by the way, I think that your idea of James as the next Doctor is absolutely brilliant and you really need to submit that to the writers. That would make an AWESOME story line.

DT decided it was time to move on and let someone else take over the role. He has done if for 4 years, counting this one with the specials, and didn't want to get burned out on the part!

They picked a 26 year old actor to play the Doctor, Matt Smith. He looks very young. Just have to see how things work out with him!

I would've loved James! *sigh*

There has been the Christmas special, but waiting for annoucements as to when the others will be.

Just one last question I promise. Did the Christmas special only air in the UK? I don't remember seeing anything about here in the states.

It aired in the UK on Christmas Day, then was repeated on New Year's Day as well, and was on BBCi. I think it will air later in the States, but not sure when.
