Kali Hears a Who

Eleven is starting to grow on me, and not even like a fungus.

I will always miss DT. But. I think Matt Smith's going to be... not fan-tas-tic, or brilliant... but... perhaps *waves fingers about in vaguely alien & excited fashion* excellent. Well, watch it. You'll see.

Although Ten has grown on me (and I love David Tennant in almost everything he does including Cassanova and Eddings), Four (Tom Baker) and Nine (Chris Eccleston) are still my favourite Doctors. I grew up with the later Three episodes (Jon Pertwee) and all of Four and did not like (and so did not watch) any of the Doctors after that until Eight (the one episode/film only Doctor, Paul McGann). I only realised tonight just how much Chris Eccleston was channelling Tom Baker's Doctor in his rendition The Doctor - I am wondering if Tom was Chris' Doctor as well...

P.S. I just love the way Matt Smith wiggles his fingers when he talks - I hope that his Doctor # Eleven does so as well - I can just picture him doing that as he says "Timey Wimey"!

P.P.S. You might find this interesting… (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1104727/Doctor-Who-Unknown-actor-Matt-Smith-26-announced-David-Tennants-replacement.html)

Chris Eccleston is someone I liked when I watched him, then I fell head over heels with Tennant when he was on, and still like his interpretation, but in review, and rewatching the new season 1s, I adore Eccleston's intensity, his darkness he brought to the role. (I love Tennant in his non-Doctor things he does and was therefore actually happy when he announced he was leaving 'cause it means he'd be doing more of those in the future). I have watched bits and pieces of Tom, probably have to go back to watch more since I'm apparently more of a Three fanboy when it comes to the classic renditions. But-- one more reason to check Tom Baker eps out properly.

And yeah, love the fingers-bit. And 'excited' might just become a bit of a tagline there.
