The new Doctor! Pretty Cute!

[delenntoo]

I'm sorry that David Tennant is leaving, but the 11th Doctor was announced today by the BBC and he is cute and quirky looking - 26-year-old Matt Smith.  We won't get to see him until the 5th season starts in 2010, but that'll give us something ot look forward to ... that and Steven Moffat as the lead writer!

He is too young...what is next Dr. Who in diapers. I would really like to see an old fart since I am one. Maybe a doctor with a beard which would be different. I also want to see a cane. That way maybe we would be going full circle...sort of...since the original. Or is it a rule the doctor must get younger and younger with each generation? On another thought why couldn't the doctor become a woman...that would spice things up...he would have to get a new wardrobe and maybe drop the sneakers for high heels. Somehow running from Daleks in heels strikes the funny bone in me.

One thing I find strange is how many people comment on his age when he could be made up to look any age, couldn't he? Not that I think they will put him in white hair and wrinkles, but it seems like it never occurs to anyone.

Also I have been laughing all night at the comments on so many journals...what would Donna say if she saw him (will we be stopping for afternoon snack now?), and Jack's possible reaction (Guh), and Sarah Jane's (he doesn't look much older than Luke!) Much fun.

I like him. My 10 year old likes him (he's four years older than my son's favorite teacher, so he's O-L-D anyway.) And I like Moffat's episodes immensely, even though I think he did not quite get the awesomeness that was Donna. No one is perfect.

Heh... and I thought TENNANT cornered the market in hair gel!
