The New Doctor

[mandysee_mandydo]

First, let me just say that the 2008 Doctor Who Christmas Special was awesome. My only complaint was the ascension bit toward the end, but they made up for it with the ending. All in all so much better than last year. And the two Doctors thing was just really great!

Now, as for Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor... I'm not sure how I feel about him. Then again I felt the same about Nine and Ten. I saw an interview with Matt Smith and his personality reminded me of the Second Doctor. His look is very much a cross between Nine and Ten, as ciliandis pointed out. It should be interesting to see.

I've seen a lot of people with the immediate reaction of OMG HATE! HATE! Which I think is pretty silly and ridiculous. I think it is best to be cautiously hopeful, assuming that they made this decision for a reason. Reserving judgment until AFTER we've seen him actually play the Doctor.

I downloaded some stuff the kid has been in, and he can act. I have faith.

Oh totally. I definitely don't want to judge before I see him as the Doctor. I think I'm just cautious. PW and I were kind of hoping they would go for someone a little older. I'd actually like to see another old cranky Doctor like One or just an old eccentric Doctor like Two or Three. Even a not-so-old nutter (in a good but dark way) like Seven, though Ten definitely had some Seven qualities to him.
