Smith's not all that much younger than Tennant

When Tennant got the role he was 35; this kid is 26.

Tennant didn't really look 35, though. To go back farther, Davidson was only 30 when he started filming, and Matt Smith will be 27 when he starts. So it's not like he's that dramatically out of range.

True - but I would have liked to have seen an older person.

I agree, but I can roll with this. Like I said, just because Smith's not my ideal doesn't mean he won't be good. Nobody can know until we see him in action.

People are arguing they had to go younger than Tennant? Really? Woah. Because all the speculation I was participating in was pretty much about how much older the next Doctor should be. :P

I do like the point made below about how he won't be starting for a while. That'll give him time to maybe develop a wrinkle around his left eye or something.

The more I think about it, the more I think a running gag about the Doctor's old friends/enemies/etc. all sort of freaking out about how young he now looks would be sort of hilarious.

YES. THIS. Can we have an extended gag where the older companion is always the one taken to be the Doctor and Eleven pouts about it? Please?

Oh, that would be HILARIOUS. "So, this is the Doctor, and you're her assistant?" "For the last time --!"

I'm pretty sure SciFi will require either dinosaurs or some sort of gigantic insect hybrid as key elements of the film, but I bet you and the nice drug can handle that.

The drug will probably dial some dinosaurs up tonight.

Something with a time-traveling academic returning to Ancient Greek culture, but somehow situated in prehistoric Manhattan, and fighting mammoths between bouts of translating the song "Baby Got Back" for ancient flute as a tribute to Aphrodite Kallipygos!*

This sounds like it could easily be the plot of the fourth Librarian film.
