So, reactions?

For me the negative:
1) Looks way too much like the guy in "Twilight". Poor git.
2) Seems a bit young.
3) Not exactly shockingly handsome, but pretty enough he may not be a break from Tennant depending on how he's done up. Unfortunately as Tennant is good looking I think a few people didn't always take him as seriously as he should have been (as he is a DAMN fine actor).

For the positive:
1) A pretty good history behind him at a young age.
2) Seems like a nice dude. Very thoughtful actually.
3) He may stick around for awhile.
4) He may be good looking but it's in a more odd way. I've especially enjoyed when the Doctor's physical appearance had some exaggerated traits - Baker's grin and hair, Pertwees nose and hair, etc. This guy's got a bit of an edge to his looks.
5) His youth may be an advantage - we'll get a VERY different take from him I'd figure. I think the show needs it.
