BBC announces new Doctor, and there is wank

[misscam]

(In other news, the Earth is still round.)

It's already made fandom_wank and hoo boy. You can check out the first interview with the actor to play the Eleventh Doctor here. (He does seem rather excited, which counts in his favour. Not sold on the haircut, though.)

Me, I will wait and see. I've had misgivings about things that turned out to be brilliant in the past and been excited for things that turned out to be shite, so will try very hard not to form preconcieved ideas. So, wait and see. AND LAUGH AT THE WANK.

(There will probably be THAT CASTING SPOILER in the comments.)

I've actually seen him in something else and I'm, I'm rather hopeful actually - at least of his acting abilities (and okay, I feel slightly guilty for being excited for the possibilities of the new Doctor *grins*).

But yes, laugh at the wank. That is the plan (and don't drink tea while browsing this time).

Holy Dooley, it's on f_w already? Is that a new record? LOL.

Wow. It made F_W that quickly. o.O

I brought popcorn for the impending wank-fest!

Oh my dear, I'm not into Who... but I think the 11th doctor is adorable and love the emo-punk-rock-ala-fallout-boy haircut. It makes me want to listen to Good Charlotte in my room in the dark and cry.

I think I'm more or less over my 'Um...' reaction, and am looking forward ro seeing what this bloke does.

I really did want Patterson Joseph though :(

IAWTC.

The wank for Eleven came ridiculously fast, it makes me feel bad for the guy. But I'm pretty excited and anxious about the news. It's a great day for Who.

My mum texted me with the actor's name, prompting me to Google him (I could find surprisingly little about the casting, actually), and my main reactions were "lawlz, his chin" and "does he look a little like Edward Cullen?"

I'm sure half the internet will declare that no-one could ever be as good as David Tennant, but I'm sure I remember that happening for Ecclescakes as well, and it probably happened for the other Doctors, so yanno.

I'm just going to blatantly copy your "reserve judgement and lol@wank" stance. :D

ETA: ...actually, I'm watching the interview right now, and my judgement is less reserved than it is "D'AWWWW ♥". >_>

"does he look a little like Edward Cullen?"

...Yay, I wasn't the only one who thought that!

He'll never be as good as Tennant in my eyes, but that's probably because I find this new bloke pretty much drop-dead unattractive :\. If he was hot, I'm pretty sure my opinion would be different, and yes, I am that shallow.

If he was hot, I'm pretty sure my opinion would be different, and yes, I am that shallow.

Bwahaha. Yeah, I admit a certain correlation between my thinking he looked like a berk in the fugly IMDB photos, and my rising opinion of him when he's being adorzable in the youtube interview. But then, I'm a Zachary Quinto fangirl, so I have a decidedly odd definition of what's adorzable.

I like all the Doctors I've seen, though. I am an indiscriminate Doctorslut. :)

Hey, I think Zachary Quinto is smexy (although I think his chest hair is a wee bit strange and I like him better with a shirt on) D:. Does that make me weird and part of a minority?!

I actually haven't seen that many doctors -- only like half a minute of Ecclecakes and a marathon of Teninch. But Tennant's dorky, overexpressive Ten will always be my favey, I think.

[cazrolime.livejournal.com]

Minority no, but I get the impression that people are very polarised as to his attractiveness. If I had a penny for every time someone mentioned the mating caterpillars across his brow... xD (And does he still have like the Batman symbol on his chest? *dies*)

Generally I'm just like "my favourite Doctor is the one I'm watching right now", which possibly makes me a terrible fan. I do have a great love for Ten, though. Ten and his pinstripes and his specs and his oral fixation. :3

[jonquil.livejournal.com]

My theory is that the actor's haircut won't be the Doctor's haircut -- too close to Tennants. (Same with Tennant's real accent not being the Doctor's accent. Alas.)

[elvenpiratelady.livejournal.com]

I remember getting terribly upset about Ecclestone leaving and then finding that yes, I could live with Tennant. So I'm applying that philosophy to the new guy as well. To be honest, I'm more interested in what Stephen Moffatt is going to do with the show.

Still, making f_w that fast is pretty impressive.

I loved Tennant as Ten and he'll probably always be My Doctor, but I think I'm probably going to love this guy too just from the interview. I mean he's so cute! He's all excited and flustered with a non-stop smile and I love the hair that looks like he styled it after an Emo!wolf. I'm rather excited about Eleven now.

[marcasite.livejournal.com]

You knew it was coming! How could it not? The wank is never very far :)

Me, I will watch and see. I have seen him in SDOACG and in the Sally Lockhart mysteries but it will be interesting to see his take on the Doctor.

[chicklet73.livejournal.com]

I, too, plan to wait and see with an open mind. Well, and laugh at the wank.

*raises glass to you in a toast*

[rivrea.livejournal.com]

Woo-hoo. Were they trying to break some speed record over at F_W?

[denorios.livejournal.com]

There's wank already? Oh for frak's sake!

*headdesk*

I do think he's too young but I'm not going to wank over it until I've actually seen him in action!

[sliven.livejournal.com]

I'm already spoiled, and I think that The Doctor will never again be as hott as David Tennant. But all the same, with all the drama Doctor!Tennant has been through lately, it almost takes a new actor to get the happiness and the excitement back in the Doctor-character.

But I'm looking forward to at least some more time with David Tennant as The Doctor. ^_^

i'm with you. i think i'll take the 'wait and see' approach. with a side if 'what are the chances they'll fix that hair?'

i can't believe people have already started with the wank. sheesh. give the kid a chance, at least.

i hope you are doing well and have a good one :o)
