Colour me highly amused

[jayes_musings]

by all the wailing and teeth gnashing that I've seen following the Beeb's announcement that David Tennant is stepping down as Ten after the specials. Jeez, anyone would think he's the only actor to have played the Doctor. Hello? He's done four seasons (plus the upcoming specials) which is a pretty good run, and while I think Eccleston's tenure was too short, that's the way of the show.

I'm looking forward to seeing who the new Doctor will be, though I'm not sure who *cough*Michael Fassbender*cough* would make an excellent Doctor. *g*

OMG! If they got Fassy *I* would watch Dr. Who RELIGIOUSLY! And I've only seen it a few times for some older versions on PBS and was not too enthused. ;)

I think Fassy would make a wonderful Doctor, especially in an Azazeal-ish way. Smooth, sophisticated, but with a devilish grin and that Irish lilt. *g*

I grew up watching DW, and old Who is still my favourite as corny and as cheap as it was. I just get so very amused by New Who fans who have fits over things that have always happened on the show, like having a new Doctor. And I won't even go into the shipping wars with his companions, which just makes me want to headdesk.

I think he would be fabulous. I didn't have the benefit of early Who as you did. Here in Iowa, it was just the show that came on after Red Dwarf! *g*

BTW, did you get the last rep that Faelyn did for Azazeal? Hopefully it was ok.

It's a British institution, everybody of a certain age remembers hiding behind the couch from the man in the awful, cheesy costume. Ah, good times!

Although I dread the stampede of fangirls if this dream comes true. I kind of like Fassy still being somewhat of a secret known to just a few. *g*

Ok? OKAY? Let's just say I nearly had to take a second shower...a cold one...after reading that this morning.

Btw...love the icon, although you're not.

I prefer Fassy be kept our little secret. I stand a much better chance of casting him as Nikos Cristodoulakis (see the memories tag under "Tango Cattivo" in this LJ) when it comes time! *g*

Oh, good! I was hoping that it would turn out well. And the Daemon was ok with it, too? Of course he would probably be since he is the one being *cough* attended to by Faelyn! ;))

Oh, thank you! ;)))

Oooh, I shall have to check that tag out. :D And yes, I'm all for keeping him between us. *g*

Yes, I think you can safely assume he was very pleased. *g*
