I'm not really happy with this choice, I thought they'd find an actor younger then Smith. Atleast they didn't go P.C. on us with a black gay female.

Maybe not all at once, but some version of either one of those certainly is possible.

I stumbled across the event with out even looking for it, and it was quite a show! Pretty risky for them to put " live " chat comments on the screen, but I'm sure they had that stuff delayed and not so randomly chosen.

The new Doctor really isn't all that much of a stretch. He's older, which breaks a trend, but he's had ties w/ the Who 'verse already, being in a The Fires of Pompeii, as well as the Torchwood ( Children of Earth ) series.

This guy is to well known, they should've hired an unknown young actor that we'd get to know in time. My guess is he'll try to be a throw back of the earlier Doctors.

He's a cracking actor, he has an Oscar for his work as a writer/director and he's a long time Doctor Who fan - I think he's going to be immense. The whole young/old/white/black/attractive/straight/gay thing is a bit of a mislead - the Doctor has a certain quality and actors either have it or they don't.

Hasn't been a decent doctor since Tom Baker. Know who would've been a good Doctor? Mark Sheppard.

Firefly fans could learn from Doctor Who fans: River does not have to forever be Summer Glau. (But Kaylee will always be Jewel Staite. I refuse to accept a substitute. It is her role.)

STORYMARK


I like the choice. I think his sensibility is just right for the role. I liked Smith, too, but Im glad they went with someone older this time around.

I can't disagree there. But being the Doctor takes up a bit of time, and it'd cast you as being a specific character. The upside is that it'd be steady work, which I know actors really like, and he'd be a lot more recognized. I'd like to think that Mark was a candidate, but maybe turned it down ? I dunno.
