I'm finding it hard to articulate to people that I am deeply disappointed with the choice based on available evidence (he could've been black, he could've been Asian, she could've been a woman, but instead they picked the young David Tennant by the looks of things), yet am reserving judgement until I actually see Smith in action.
The one thing I didn't think they should've done after Tennant was make him younger. To me the Doctor works best as a middle-aged man - the weird uncle that the kids like. While I like both Davison and Tennant as the Doctor, I still think they were too young. Now they've gone even younger.
I used to want to be an actor so I could play Doctor Who. Today I've woken up to learn I'm too old to play Doctor Who. : )
