King Dando Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I'm not really sure what to make of this Matt Smith. I've never heard of him before. I guess I should wait until 2010 to see what he does with the character. There wasn't much of a build up just before he appeared, so when he started talking about being the 11th Doctor, there was a long pause from me, followed by: "...What? Wait a minute; who is this guy, and why is he talking about being the 11th Doctor?" Then, it sunk in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I'm not sure what to say. I was hoping for a return to an older, more sombre Doctor, and they've cast the youngest actor to play the part yet - 26 years old. He'd better be damned good, if he's earned such a part as the Doctor at such a young age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salzella Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Silly hair, but it could have been so much worse. It could, for example, have been Catherine Tate. *shudder* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkonium Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 On another note, I've heard a rumour that Steven Moffat's planning on having a completely new title sequence for Series 5. Anyone know if there's any truth to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adavardes Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Silly hair, but it could have been so much worse. It could, for example, have been Catherine Tate. *shudder* And what's wrong with her? She was a brilliant actress that complimented Tennant's Doctor extremely well, and the snarky and clever attitude that Donna Noble sported was, in my opinion, much more compelling than the whole helpless, kind of inept most of the time, save for a few shining exceptions where she dropped names to threaten enemies thing that Rose Tyler had going on, and Martha's insufferably whiny "WHY DON'T YOU LOOOOVE MEEEEE?" attitude. I wouldn't want Tate on for the new Doctor. That just wouldn't make sense in keeping with the show's continuity. But she was by far one of the best companions, and my personal favourite.

Salzella Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I find her irritating in the extreme as a person. Simple as that really. Different strokes and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrotoy7 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I'm not sure what to say. I was hoping for a return to an older, more sombre Doctor. Im not sure that it's written in stone anywhere but havent all the docs been getting progressively younger? In the show, DTs doc also made reference to how he used to be old and grumpy, so it'd be unusual if he went back to that. I was hoping for an ebony skinned, suave Calrissian-esque doctor(Paterson Joseph), but it seems were stuck with nerdy white guys forever. ah well, I hope he does okay, he definitely will have the eyes of the world on him, so he'd be feeling the pressure a bit mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Im not sure that it's written in stone anywhere but havent all the docs been getting progressively younger? Your point being...? In the show, DTs doc also made reference to how he used to be old and grumpy, so it'd be unusual if he went back to that. I never said anything about making him grumpier. Just older. More cerebral, with a dry, more sarcastic kind of humour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leXX Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Matt Smith sleeps with Billie Piper (on Diary of a Call Girl) http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=k8gJvf2a23Q How ironic. Gives a good idea of his acting ability. Can't say I'm convinced he will make a good Doctor, but I guess only time will tell. 2010 seems so much further away now. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
