Eleventh Doctor is

[fictional]

Matt Smith? Who is this guy? Um. Okay.

Also, I was really looking forward to a black Doctor.

Well, I'm looking forward to seeing this dude in motion. Hopefully it'll make an impression.

I worry for this guy, actually. Filling Tennant's shoes is gonna be... wow. I'm overwhelmed.

ETA: And [thanks to ryo_girl] here's his first Doctor publicity still. They should give him a question mark. Doctor Who???

This guy looks like a fetus! Seriously, talk about wet behind the ears. Which could be a good thing. He can be whatever, and maybe the storyline is for the Doctor to sort of unload all the baggage of the Time War, and the heartbreak attached to all the new series companions, and start... afresh. Reborn, actually.

I shall hope for the best. And this kid must have had a spectacular audition.

I think I have found this fandom in order to learn to accept change. It is very hard. I get very attached, and I love Ten beyond the telling of it. But this guy's growing on me, and I am cautiously optimistic.

*g* I do hope one day, the Doctor regenerates into a not!white dude, but I can wait.

I was just telling someone that at least he still has a few regenerations left. You know, to be not white. Or ginger, lol. ;D

It's true! And who knows if they're even going to stick to the old number of regenerations. It could go on forever! He could be a snake next! or eric Roberts.... (which is worse???)

I was so hoping we'd get a black guy and the only acknowlegement would be a quick "Wow, so not ginger. Okay, right. Now, who's trying to destroy the universe? Oh, those aliens. Look at that!"

Oh, win! That is so what his reaction would be.
