rashaka - It's the total opposite of "casting someone not as young and handsome so as to avoid this romance nonsense" which is what I'd been hearing in rumors.
irrel - Ha, yeah, cast a 26 year-old, that'll stop the sexual tension.

Oh BBC...

He looks like the Twilight kid! I don't fathom it. Or that guy from Dawson's Creek. Are we going to get a 15-year-old Doctor before Obama runs for re-election? We're going back by leaps of a decade or so each season. And what is with the Emo hair?

Anyway, I'll be terribly sad to see Ten go, because I love DT with all of his pathos and talent. But I'm excited for a change, too. And this might turn out quite funny...after all, he is pretty weird looking, and that's in the DW tradition. But his clothes in the promo shot are like a college student's. How is anyone going to take him seriously? Oh well, we'll get some laughs. Just imagine what Jack Harkness will think about the Doc's new body. His twenty-six-year-old body.


Still, a part of my heart wanted Chiwetel Ejiofor.

So, are we getting a whole new companion as well?

*crosses fingers that they're starting fresh*

I hope Mickey is there. Mickey would see this new Doctor and CRACK UP.
