Eleven

[hildy89]

Appropriately enough (or not), the new Doctor is eleven years younger than I am. God that's depressing. More depressing was realizing belatedly that David is four months older than I am. It's like the Who casting people skipped over my entire generation. Well, I was wondering if they'd go even younger after Ten. *sighs* With the lighting on that promo picture, I'm halfway expecting a vampire episode.

Is it too early to make the Smith as Smith jokes?

Reading paulcornell2's lovely post on waiting for the news, I thought about how Doctor Who has intersected my life. The first regeneration I remember was Six to Seven and mostly I remember everyone loving McCoy but not too fond of his early companion. I think I was at a MediaWest when I heard about both Eight and Nine, mostly as a picture on the Tardis door and notices about showing their older works in the video room. Somewhere in there, the fandom exploded, because the first I remember talking about Who in panels, we were at Idiot's Lantern. I don't remember talking about it the year before or did we? I know I heard the news on Ten off the BBC website and livejournal, because everyone reacted to the initial photos with the coat and the trainers. In retrospect maybe they should have added the glasses. I can't imagine Tennant's Ten without them.

This isn't a spoiler -- it's an official announcement. And 10 only wore glasses sometimes (sounds like SOMEONE needs to rewatch! Drat! :)

I did love Seven. He's my favorite Old Who Doctor.
