That was created on July 2, 2007, way before this happened, and it's just for general chat on the show.
This thread is fine, it's about current events- we are discussing it in that Doctor Who thread but that is for general discussion. This is news after all. Sad for Cat? XD She's not the only Whovian on this site. Anyway, I am incredibly sad about this news. I knew it was coming but I was expecting it at the end of series 8, I thought he was signed on for it but I'm guessing that was a hoax. The fans are getting restless and have already started speculating over who will be the next doctor. People are saying it should be a woman others are disagreeing, some are saying it should be an american actor, some are saying it should be David Tennant- I personally don't think it should be him as he wouldn't come back- he's the 10th Doctor and not the 12th and it wouldn't be right. I have nothing against Americans but this show is a British television show so I feel the actor should remain british but that's just my personal opinion. I think the female timelord is just people speculating, Moffat would never deny it as he's enjoying the concept of people speculating on crazy things as that is what he does to us. I could be wrong but I don't see it happening anytime soon. People are also saying the show will be ending soon as the Doctor has only 13 regenerations but the writers will always find a way of getting around that as the show won't end like that. Anyway, Matt Smith is my Doctor, he is the embodiment of what I imagine the Doctor to be- socially awkward, kind, quirky and energetic. He is such an amazing actor and I think he's shown that so much throughout just the last series alone. I know he'll go on to great things and it'll be nice to see him in new things like this new film he's in (How to catch a monster) and he's also made a directing debut which I would like to watch. He's a very talented actor and although I'm so upset that I was caught off guard- I'm not looking forward to christmas. But at the same time, a regeneration is exciting and I trust the producers will pick someone good like they picked Matt Smith and almost everyone doubted he would be better than Tennant. It'll be the same story and I know I'll like them as there isn't a Doctor I don't like but it'll just be getting used to them.
Im not totally upset that this is happening. Of the recent regenerations I'd say he's probably the worst doctor who watch, if not for his companions i'd call his seasons borderline bad. He isn't bad, by any means, but comparative to the writing and the action of the first two doctors of the reboot, he has been the least fun to watch.
