Oh I don't doubt that.

I am sure whomever they get will be well.

Definitely. I can't wait for the casting announcement,

me either.

I had a dream that Idris Elba had been chosen for the Twelth Doctor. Not sure if prophecy...

Poor Rory. I suppose the next step in losing his identity would be "Roy Kinnear's son". Although "show insiders" have told other media sources that the search is still ongoing. Ho hum. Small mountains of salt for everyone.

He's never watched Doctor Who before? Then I hope this is just a rumor.

Rory Kinnear Is "Sick" Of These Doctor Who Rumours - Bleeding Cool Comic Book, Movies and TV News and Rumors

Looks like you get your wish and I get to go back in the Rory Kinnear tag without wanting to punch people until my hand hurts too much.

Edit: Whoops, got bitchy before thinking. I've just read a lot of frankly rude comments today about an actor I respect and bawww from me.

Well that's a bit of a relief. I was a little upset to see that decision.

I just feel bad for Rory now (temper tantrum over). If he is being used as a 'smokescreen' I hope it doesn't have any adverse affect on his career because even if people haven't seen him he's really good at acting. :(

What about Simon Woods for the part?

I'm not familiar with Simon Woods so I can't comment.

I saw Daniel Kaluuya's name today (apparently he was in Skins but will always be Tealeaf from Psychoville to me) but I'm not getting emotionally compromised again.

Speaking of tantrums, I might as well get it out of my system: You know I'm not a whovian, but I watch the show and occassionally read stuff posted online to keep up with you guys, so when I was waiting for the bus the other day, I saw that one of the few non-video posts on my Buzzfeed app was about celebrating Matt Smith after it was announced he was leaving. So I click on it, and it's a friendly "let's look back on and enjoy the 11th Doctor's tenure with this news that there's a new one coming", with gifs and traits of the 11th doctor etc. NBD. I go down to the comment section, and all but I think two comments were "I liked Tennent better", or even "Tennent was my Doctor, and Matt Smith's face is weird". Now, this is nothing new, as far as comments on posts about Matt Smith go (which is terrible in its own right), but this was actually about celebrating the man's tenure, and they couldn't keep it to themselves for once? Are they so threatened by things that aren't about their own tastes that they have to post inane comments? The internet, man.

(Mmm, look at that Paint quality editing)
Tru fanz everywhere.

Sometimes I need to remove myself from the internet because the negativity starts really getting to me on a personal level. It seems like people think any attention is good attention and can't resist stirring.

People think their opinion is wanted on absolutely everything. News stories? WHAT DOES BRENDA FROM OKLAHOMA THINK, THOUGH! YOU'D BETTER LEAVE A COMMENT, BRENDA!

(with apologies to all Brendas, Oklahomans, and intersections of the two)

Regarding them saying Matt Smith's face was weird... to be fair, Moffat called him "ugly." But Moffat can get bent. Matt's pretty.

matt is very pretty i dig his floppy hair lol

a friend of mine, also a whovian, suggested jamie bell as a possible doctor... i can kinda see it, but really, who knows lol
i'm sure they'll pick someone worthy of such a roll, i have faith!

Oh, Jamie! He does have the chops. Billy Elliot was (is?) one of my favorite films. That would be interesting. Though it wouldn't be a win for diversity. Another youngish white british male.

Sometimes 'strange' is attractive... after all Benedict Cumberbatch has loads of fan-girls but has that strange 'frequently compared to an otter' complex, and otters aren't exactly the sexiest thing on the planet...

Benedict is definitely a very weird sort of handsome. Not my type and certainly the strangest face I've ever seen, but I couldn't call him unattractive if I tried! Now, Matt...

What a cutie pie.

yeaaaa... i can't stop looking at that picture it's like he's looking into my sooooul

Guh, right? Here, let's take our minds off that with a little Tennant.

well that didn't help

EDIT: Haha, I just realized I'm wearing a Tshirt with both Smith and Tennant on it. I don't have a problem.

i dig matt smith more, but that is also very nice david tennant does have the same sort of magnetism

a shirt with both? you're a mad woman!

gah! and even now, hours later, i am still going back and forth looking at that matt smith picture... it really is a good one
skdnhfigiusd i did it again!!

What about the one where he's in a masquarade mask? I can't see to find it. But that one is... smoldering.

That made me think of Casanova, which is worth a watch for Tennant fans.

I don't know, I think there's something about being the Doctor I find attractive.

Yeah, it had a Venetian, neo-gothic feel to it, didn't it? Like it was an Anne Rice photoshoot I wonder why it doesn't appear in google searches?
