I should have been more worried, shouldn't I? I didn't take that one seriously, because I really didn't think they'd go for someone young and pretty again. I mean, he's far too similar to DT, isn't he?

Huh. I was looking forward to someone older and more interesting. It's sad they obviously feel they have to continue with young and pretty to keep their teenage girls fanbase. :-(

I'm super glad over certain things (he's MALE for one) but in general, I'm willing to sit back and wait. Although I am glad I don't have any DW comms on my flist right about now.

What about you?

[unfeathered]

I only have New Who, and they're pretty reticent. I don't have any of the classic Who comms because they're just too busy, clog up my flist. Tbh, I get most of the news from the flist anyway.

Re. the glad thing... I'm not sure. Disregarding the really silly rumours (e.g. Billie), this is about the worst choice from the choices I'd seen, as far as I'm concerned.

I saw rumors of it Eleven being a woman and the black guy from POTW (who played the winning contestant on 'weakest link') and being Simm. All three were REALLY bad ideas in my mind.

this young and this pretty and this similar to DT are all strikes against this guy though.

Paterson Joseph (the black guy) would have been fine, in my book.

And YEAH.

I don't like the idea of an actor being on DW before being the Doctor (yes, I know Six was). And I have the niggling issue of wondering why other planets would have a brake down of races similar to Earth

[skipthedemon.livejournal.com]

And Romana deliberately regenerated into the image of a woman previously on the show. Heh.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Oh, I didn't know that about Romana.

Oh, that's right. I knew it had happened somewhere!

What, you mean black Gallifreyans? I suppose they could get round that by him having to fit in on Earth now, or something.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

YEs- I never under black Vulcans (ST:Voyager) etc... They could make it work, but I always wonder about it

[unfeathered]

I know what you mean. Though I guess it works both ways. Why shouldn't there be black Vulcans/Gallifreyans?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Well, race related to the conditions of evolution and... I guess it doesn't matter, it's just something I always went O_0 about

[unfeathered]

Yeah, me too, with Tuvok etc.

I guess I've kind of got used to it now.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it just somewhat bugs me though.

One thing I wonder about with Ten leaving and getting this guy as Eleven. I am now utterly confused and befuddled by River Song's introduction/scenes

[unfeathered]

Why? *tries to remember* Oh, she knew him as Ten, yes? Well, perhaps they're going to bring her in again in S5? Would make sense, being a Moffat character.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

She definitely recognized him as Ten and seemed to think he'd recognize her so should have met her then. (also, Eleven's so bloody young, I can't picture him *with* River Song at the ages we saw then)

[unfeathered]

*shudders* Oh gosh, no!

Well. They'll have to meet next season, then, won't they?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Unless it's one of those *swept under the rug* sort of canon things

[unfeathered]

Yeah. Well, I suppose either we'll see her next season or... we won't.

Anyway. I need to tear myself away from all this discussion and go and make a birthday cake for a certain little boy. Be back later!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Yay for birthday cake! :)

I think all us sane-crazy people are steering clear of the Doctor Who comms... we can get enough speculation off our flist, of a far superior kind.

*nods* actual conversation and real speculation
