Colour me highly amused

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*

Glad to know I'm not the only one feeling this way. This week has apparently made me a "bad" fangirl. I didn't wail over Heroes not following fanon and now I'm not heartbroken over Tennant moving on. Truth be told, I'm very excited about a new Doctor - and while I won't get my prayer for DoctorDonna - I'm hoping for a less "ferrety" Doctor.

We'll sit together here in the bad fangirl corner. I've always liked the fact that DW is able to change the lead character and still continue strongly. It's one of best aspects of the show. (As for Heroes, while there are some things I certainly don't like about this season...I hate it when fangirls bitch when a show doesn't follow their fantasies.)

Even if there's no DoctorDonna (how cool would that be!)...a female Doctor would great anyway. And if I can't have my own dream Doctor...and he must be male, let him be short, fat and bald. Like there's any chance of that happening.

YAY for not being alone! Exactly, that is one of the beauties of that show. I mean, we're going to watch CSI die because Grissom's gone. Tons of shows have died because of losing their lead. DW goes on and on. (Again with the exactly. You don't have to like it but the tears and anger at the writers for "doing it wrong"? And I rp the ship being bitched about)

I would LOVE a female. I heard rumour that at one point they were considering Jennifer Saunders from AbFAb, which would rock. I am so with you on that. I'd love to see them play it to a character actor, and once more avoid the romance thing as they did with Donna.
