The New Doctor -- Not What I Was Expecting...

[penfold_x]

Given the age and body type of the last two actors cast for the Doctor, and the flirtations the PTB have been writing for his mostly young female companions, I'm surprised Moffat and co. have chosen a mature, very experienced actor for the role. It gives me hope that the Doctor/companion dynamics will be shook up a bit; I feel like the PTB could go in almost any direction, with a companion of almost any age, gender, species or experience.

I like the Doctor, but I have thought the last two were mostly comic relief. My favorite since the reboot was definitely Christopher Eccleston. He had an edge to him. I liked River Song because she had the edge that Matt Smith lacked.
