Billie Piper. Seems like his ascension to Who status was somewhat pre-determined judging by the Rose factor.Marc Burkhardthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06949686463975572297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-31611929226991644702009-01-06T23:56:00.000-04:002009-01-06T23:56:00.000-04:00Me too.

It was just so endearingly strange that I can't help but look forward to the new series.

I've been a Whovian for maybe 25 years now and it never ceases to amaze me how divided this chunk of fandom can be.<BR/><BR/>I guess it goes with the idea that every Doctor is SOMEone's Doctor, and they get very territorial about it. I'm what I would call a pure fan, that is to say that I'm a fan of the format which can - nay, MUST - feature a change of Doctors (and of production approaches) every once in a while.<BR/><BR/>My excitement at upcoming changes should thus not be seen as an indictment of the past 4 years. A story has been told, that's all, and it's now time to move on to the next.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-8906094003481196082009-01-05T19:59:00.000-04:002009-01-05T19:59:00.000-04:00Siskoid, try read the official Classic Site's epis...Siskoid, try read the official Classic Site's episode guide commentaries. Every time the Doctor changed this happened. Eccleson was only the Doctor for a season, so maybe he didn't grow on the fans as much as Tennant has.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I don't know Smith well enough..actually, I don't recall ever seeing him in action, so I can't say how good he will be. I'm just glad Russel T.'s leaving. Maybe we'll get a non-Rose companion that lasts for more than a season, and a season arc ending that doesn't make the Doctor into White Guardian Lite. I do give him credit for bringing Who back, but I'm not sure of the directions he went at times.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-33973980523243896742009-01-05T13:35:00.000-04:002009-01-05T13:35:00.000-04:00After watching Neverwhere for the first time over ...After watching Neverwhere for the first time over the holiday, part of me really wanted Paterson Joseph to get it.

It's a new kind of twist, and I trust the production team implicitly. If any set of people have earned the benefit of the doubt on pretty much anything, it's them.<BR/><BR/>Also, I think Tennant's made us all a bit comfortable with a chummy Doctor. I hope we get a bit of oddness about the new one.Madeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06198262501277963163noreply@blogger.com
