11th Doctor Casting announcment tommorow

I think it's funny how people who've never seen him in anything, already have such a strong opinion of him. I'm happy enough to wait and see what he's like in 2010 before I judge.

Ditto that. (People should have learned their lesson after badmouthing Catherine Tate)

Of course, I've never heard of the guy, but that only means I've never seen his work. Come on, Do people really think that Steven Moffat a.k.a. (Mr. Hugo) would pick someone he didn't think could pull off his concept of The Doctor?

Plus... it's not like whatever contract he signed doesn't already include a clause stating in the event of European Revolt, you will be Regenerated.

Everyone remain calm.
 
GENERIC POST

Wow, I can't believe they cast a 26 year old. He's only [INSERT AGE DIFFERENCE IN YEARS HERE] older/younger* than me. I haven't seen him in anything yet, but I think he'll be good/I think I'll reserve judgement/he'll be shit no matter what he does*. He's certainly got an old face/a nice face/a big face*

Anyway, Stephen Moffat is a god/a good writer/a complete cunt*, but at least he's something different than Russell T Davies who was the saviour of Doctor who/a bit hit and miss/The devil incarnate*

I am very pleased/I don't really have an opinion/I am going to throw myself out the window*

* Delete where applicable

:D
 
I think I'm gonna have to withdraw from any 11th Doctor discussion as I get far too involved and so does my blood pressure. I'll leave this one by saying that I trust Moffat a fuck sight more than I do any random moaning ninny on the interwebs.

Exactly. You just know they screentested him to death before giving him the part. Every tone and emotion, every kind of story.

Besides, with Moffat's great writing, they could probably put ANYBODY in the role and it would work.
 
Wow, I can't believe they cast a 26 year old. He's only 2 years younger than me. I haven't seen him in anything yet, but I think he'll be good.

Anyway, Stephen Moffat is a good writer, but at least he's different than Russell T Davies who was a bit hit and miss.

I am very pleased.


(Thanks, Jon. That was a time saver.)
 
He does look a bit Goth, but there's nothing wrong with it :)

Anyway, it's an interesting choice.
 
I think will wait to see him in doctor who before i start saying he great/awful.
I remember being worried when they cast Tate as Davids co star i did not like her at first but by the end of the series she had grown on me.

Did they say whether the outfit we see in the promotional pics is the new Doctor's outfit?
I don't think this will be the case somehow. They'll probably get something more "eleveny" for him.

I think he should fight the Daleks in theatre scrubs. Just like a real doctor should. :bolian:
 
Has anyone here ever actually been to a student night club and seen actual goths and emos? Because just because someone has dark hair and a long/scruffy do that does not a goth/emo make.

But if we don't stereotype him, we won't have a pithy dismissal to prove how clever we are!
 
Okokok, I'm shit at self imposed absence.

It's just... I know it's maybe a lot to ask, but can people perhaps wait until he's spoken, hmm, ONE fucking line of dialogue before writing him off?

Oddly this response is normal behavior with most fanbases;)

From transformers to batman to superman returns to star trek and star wars.

Jim, aren't you supposed to be upset that he's not Paterson Joesph? You should be slagging him off too... go on, you know you want to unleash some bile...

But what are we supposed to talk about in the mean time? You don't want us to get a life, do you? :wtf:
