Post because I'm like

@ all the Eleven haters already cropping up, not even having seen him in a finished episode yet.

It's getting really difficult for me to start thinking of David Tennant's Doctor in the past tense :( It's seven different flavors of stupid and insane and it's so goddamn sentimental. Nine was my first Doctor ever, Five's my favorite, but Ten was the first Doctor I got to watch and develop in real time.

And I'm so excited to see Eleven in action, but even just watching him walk around in the tattered remains of Ten's clothing makes me sick at heart...and insanely curious as to how exactly Ten kicks the bucket :O Filming photos from Eleven's first ep show he's in broad daylight, so maybe that gives some kind of clue? And by the absence of the jacket and the long coat, I'm assuming they get destroyed *BIG TEAR OMG* On that note, I wonder if Matt Smith is as tiny as Tennant? Did they have to alter the costume at all so Matt would fit, is he wearing the same Chuck Taylors?...

Also, Eleven in Ten's clothing got me as much as Five in Four's--destroyed coat is the new destroyed scarf?

The media swirl around the change strongly reminds me of when Peter Davison took over for Tom Baker. In many ways, the current situation is the same: the youngest ever person to play the Doctor (Peter Davison, at the time 28) taking over for the most popular Doctor there had ever been (Tom Baker). It's the same now, except Matt is 26 and maybe has even bigger shoes to fill. I don't envy him in the slightest, but it's so weird that wank about Matt is starting up already. Everyone thought David would be terrible and that he was too young for the role, but he's wound up being everyone's favorite :) Matt will win everyone over, you just see.

...I digress. I'm missing Ten already and he's not even gone (cry moar, I know). I'm just coping using the great optimism I have about Eleven and I'm eager to see what Matt Smith's take on the Doctor is. I'm already digging his outfit, probably because SUSPENDERS YAYYYYY. THROWBACK TO FIVE = EPIC WIN.

:DDD

Everyone just remember:

My biology teacher has decided to both torture and bless us next week with the THIRD exam in, like four weeks on Monday, in exchange he's taking off Wednesday and I am SO not complaining about it because that's my lab day and I don't feel like spending three hours in a lab when I could be sleeping for once!

I still have a research paper to finish and turn in next week, so I'll just let myself out.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

this is irrelevant to this whole post but I saw it and thought of you

http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/41244241.html?thread=6326654801#t6326654801

lolyes! I saw it yesterday, too. When I saw my bbs Anderson and Jon and Stephen and Barack I went :'))))

I mostly meant the comments lol BUT THOSE TOO

I hadn't seen the Jon Stewart thing so I watched that this morning

Yeah, the comments in that thread were...uh...interesting XD That person has issues.

ISN'T IT GLORIOUS?

I like that person's priorities *eyeroll*

IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE WHEN PEOPLE TAKE CHARGE UNF

SOME PEOPLE HATE ELEVEN ALREADY? He is cute, he looks like a dork, his companion is hot stuff, I'm already content.

YEAH OMG WTF. There's been some audio stuff released of the crew doing read throughs of scripts and they're already judging him REALLY HARSHLY. Like, these are REHEARSALS. NOTHING IS SET IN STONE.

And then people take videos of them filming the first Eleven, and you can barely hear any audio or anything and people are like HE'LL NEVAR B AS GUD AS DAVID!!!111! Like, it's not his job to be David :|

OHMYGOD. BUT HE SOUNDS SO CUTE. he sounds like either a right lad or a little bit like a shuffly old professor, I cannot tell, but he sounds adorable. And sometimes when you watch David do read throughs he doesn't sound all that awesome either. Pfft, people. He sounds adorable.

FFFSSSHHH YES, HE'S SOUNDS CUTE ^__^ I am looking forward to the likely grumpy-old-man-in-a-young-man's-body Doctor we might be getting. And yesyes, I agree. I wasn't in the fandom when David was coming onboard, but I have read posts, and it was exactly the same. ZOMG HE'S NOT ECCLESTON!!!, and the like :| I am not owrries about Matt in the slightest. David has seen him in action and thinks he's brilliant :D

FFS, I got chills when he shouted "I AM THE DOCTOR". I was like "FUUUUCK, YES YOU ARE :DDD"

i haven't paid any attention to what people are saying about eleven after witnessing the shitstorm the day that matt smith was announced as the next doctor. i guess i expected criticism to some degree because he's ~not david~ but jfc, give the guy a break. he has huge shoes to fill and it wouldn't be easy for anyone to do it, there's no need to make him seem like the worst doctor ever before we even see him in the role.

anyway, i think matt is adorable and i also LOVE his outfit so i can't wait to see how it takes it on. and i have pre-love for his companion as well. the transition will definitely be bittersweet!

lol and obviously i was not coherently clear in that but obviously the first paragraph is addressed to everyone bashing matt and not you because i 100% agree with everything you said!

and i should proofread and stop saying obviously.

k i'm done.

lmao, no worries XD

In general, I avoid the fandom--they're as unhappy a lot as the Supernatural fandom--so I avoided most of the shit about Matt being cast as I could. I know I shouldn't look at the damn comments on youtube EVER, but for some reason I looked down on the Matt Smith audio vids and...yeah.

What gets me is we haven't even seen any promo pics, nothing even remotely official, and people are jumping all over him. I don't get it -__- Why so much hate.
