Eleven is...
Jan. 3rd, 2009 01:05 pmMatt Smith.
wha? who the fuck is matt smith?
i just sat here for over a half hour hitting my refresh button in gleeful excitement. now... i am unimpressed. that was highly anti-climactic.
he is... strange looking. and VERY young.
ah, well. we shall see. he may be awesome, you never know.
edit: next question... who is the new companion?
edit the second: next ep is on easter :)
edit the third: he looks a bit better in motion, but i'm still waiting to find a decent video.
edit the fourth: have watched his interview. i might quite like him :)

The Eleventh Doctor
Jan. 3rd, 2009 09:44 pmafter a bit more thought...
i watched both the bbc interview (on youtube) and the doctor who confidential, and as of yet i am still uncertain. but i am optimistic!
he IS a bit strange looking. somewhat lion-ish. but he could grow on me. plus, the doctor IS an alien. and i certainly don't want a pretty boy doctor. nice voice, awful hair.
he seems to understand the "importance" of doctor who and the responsibility he now carries portraying such a character.
he appears to be funny and smart and excited... which makes ME excited!
he is VERY young. this makes me wary. the doctor is over 900 years old. he has such knowledge and wisdom and power and authority. can such a young actor carry this off? and will the other characters on the show accept him as the doctor with such a young visage?
moffat seems REALLY pleased, as does rtd, so you'd think he HAS to be good, right? and they weren't planning on such a young choice. he was figuring someone in their forties. but they went with who they thought was the BEST. and i trust moffat (for now).
i LOVE the hand/finger thing he kept doing! his mannerisms seemed quite doctor-ish :)
i hope his "outfit" is not what he's wearing in that press(?) photo (the one with the tardis). too much like nine.
overall, i think i quite like him so far :)
i am quite nervous about who they will choose for, and how they will handle, the next companion/s. please let there not be any love/attraction thing going on! a male maybe, or someone older. that could make for an interesting dynamic. just please, no one who is in love with the doctor.
regardless of everything... i will cry buckets when ten goes :(
EDIT: can people please stop with the already abundant jack/eleven, ianto/eleven, jack/ianto/eleven, with the jealous!ianto and/or jealous!jack? please? just... stop. some days i despair for my fandoms.
EDIT 2: i am SO gonna miss ten's awesome coat! (see icon)
