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.

That interview made just a little bit more excited about the choice, but I'm not completely comfortable with it yet. I looked at him the first ten times and saw a Buffy character. Really didn't seem like what I'd expect of the Doctor. From all the names I had seen speculated before, none were actors younger than Tennant, and I guess I was half expecting him to be older. I only started to watch Doctor Who with Ecclestone, and then Tennant seemed even younger and colorful and all that, and I really wanted to see a Doctor more like the older ones (I was sooooo hoping David Morrissey would be it!). So couldn't avoid disappointment when I saw Smith. But that interview made me have second thoughts. I mean, I've never doubted he'd make a good Doctor because, well, I suppose they could've chosen almost anyone for the part. If they went for him, they had a good reason.

I'm not comfortable looking at him yet, but now I'm reeeeally eager - and excited - to see how it'll go.

And, yes, Jack will have big anime sparkling eyes when he sees that Doctor. Although I think it would be interesting if that appearance caused some sort of reverse reaction on Jack - it's almost (almost?) too wrong to be the Doctor. But it's Jack, that'll never happened. He'd be jumping and drooling over the Doctor even if he regenerated into Chewbacca.
