Matt Smith's Departure Confirmed.

Sad news for sure. Been a great 3 years though, and excited for whoever comes next! Definitely hope Clara sticks around.

It's sad when an actor leaves, but what will be even sadder is when the fans in a year from now will say stuff like Matt Smith Sucked as the Doctor. It seems like that's Dr. Who fandom in a nutshell, when a doctor or companion leaves, the negativity comes out.

What do you mean, "when a doctor leaves"?
 
I'll miss him, he's been enjoyable in the role. I would've been surprised to see him leave any later than the end of Series, but, it's a bummer nonetheless that he's only got the 2 Specials left (It'd be cool if the Anniversary Special is a 3-Parter: Name of The Doctor/Anniversary Special/Xmas Special)

Definitely would like to see Clara stay on for another Doctor
 
What, at Xmas again? Let's hope they can get another good one- remember he doesn't have to be white, or under 30, or male. Though obviously the best female option has already played the part - I mean Joanna Lovely, er, Lumley. Though Alex Kingston would have worked too...

Oh, wait,

Can I start a Tilda Swinton for the 12th Doctor petition?

Anyway...

If it's a woman my money would be on Olivia Coleman right now...big if though

That should probably have said when the new Doctor arrives. When the Doctor leaves that's more of a sadness, but when we meet the new doctor, I always see the "this is the best doctor ever" posts. The best example was when Tennant was in the prime of his run, people loved him. Now, I get the sense he's not fondly remembered. And let's not count how many instances there's been of bashing RTD because of Moffat lately.
 
:( Shitty news, still not decided if 11th beats 10th but he' still been a great Doctor and will be sorry to see him go. I wonder if Stephen going to following soon as well or will he stay on to ride out 12.

so who will be 12?
 
I'll miss him but I love regeneration stories. Hopefully Moffat will abandon RTD's light show regeneration effect in favour of something suitably weird.
 
Well, I'm bummed. Smith has been my favorite Doctor so far. I know it had to happen, but I was hoping he and Clara would get a another full season together.

A few ideas already:

I'm truly bummed.

I think Smith has done a great job as The Doctor. I wish he'd stay another season or two.

But then again, at the time I didn't think anyone could top Tennant, so hopefully lightning will strike again.

Well done, Matt!

:techman:
 
I hope the next doctor is a black woman with red hair - all bases covered :)

I knew a girl like that when I studied in Strasbourg. Algerian, smelled of cinnamon....

Haven't thought of her for ages... And as for bases, well...
 
Honestly I think the last half of season 7 has felt like an end to the 11th doctor. He went to Trenzalore and overall it's felt like the end.
