Oh my god he's 26 years old. Of itself, I have no issue with this, but I rather liked Peter Davison being the baby among the ones who took the role.

Anyway, I...um, like his hair in the main imdb picture? I don't know this person. Trying to find stuff to say other than "he looks a little scary." But maybe looking scary is a good thing for the role. Except he's scary in a weird-looking kind of way that is not remotely attractive to me, but perhaps this is also a good thing? Looks not eclipsing all other criteria.

I'd have been waaay more jittery than the really jittery that I already am if Robert Carlyle hadn't recently been revealed to be working on the new Stargate show and therefore taking himself out of the possible running. THAT BASTARD. Too famous for a series role, my foot.

But damn, 1982. o0 I could reach out and get my hand stuck in 1982. All I can do now is cross my fingers and go "ooh, he's an odd number Doctor, those tend to turn out well with me." ...when I toyed with the idea of Jesse Spencer, I never thought it'd happen, certainly not for years, because he's just so little, and this dude's even younger.

I've burst into giggles now. Good sign; I'm getting used to it.

What I like about Davison thus far is that he's the baby of the group playing a passive-aggressive, cranky old man. If Smith plays it that way, I will be very happy indeed. Also because my new Hartnell boxset is making me miss One and the Beeb should obviously write Eleven the way I want them to.

I can't decide whether Smith looks like Crispin Glover or David Boreanaz. It's bothering me, but the Crispin Glover thing is making me really anticipate his inevitable Scary Time Lord moments. Because, you know...Crispin Glover.

I'm not sure I find him attractive yet. I'm sure I inevitably will, but at the moment he's sort of cute in a floppy-puppy way. It makes me want to scratch him behind the ears and give him treats. Which is probably not what Moffatt has in mind, but there you go.

I'm taking some comfort in the knowledge that Twelve is now REQUIRED to be a fiftysomething. YES HE IS. I will hear no argument on this point.

I absolutely adore Five. He started out as a weary old man and ended up as an even wearier, downright bitter old man. And he does it all while looking a little like a vanilla pastry, it's awesome.

And I was discussing elsewhere how Eleven being a grumpy old man would be a fabulous constrasting personality to his appearance. So it really has to happen, yes. Nouveau One, yay!

I started out considering him decidedly the least attractive I'd yet to find the Doctor, and...while that's still true, once I saw him in motion in the interview rather than still shots it helped out, until the floppy puppy image worked itself into existence.

This would cheer me immensely. Also, Eleven = 11 = two Ones. So we're obviously going to get a Hartnell-like Doctor. The numbers don't lie!

I had the same reaction to Smith at first, but hey, eventually I learn to find all the Doctors attractive in one way or another, even if a couple of them get stuck at "cuddly puppy" for a while. And a lot depends on the clothes.
