Be still my heart. I just got my first glimpse at the new guy playing Doctor Who, and I can’t tell you how excited I am that they went the utterly dreamy Robert Pattinson route. If David Tennant had one central problem, surely it was that he was so unbearably old. Good grief, by the end there he looked like a guy in his early thirties! I’m relieved that they rectified that situation.
UPDATE: I just noticed the new companion is being played by an actress who’s all of 21 years of age. Is this there attempt to make the new Doctor look mature? Why not a toddler companion then. He’d look positively ancient compared to a two-year old.
Between the two of them, I’m definitely getting a Twilight vibe here. (TARDISlight?) Except that apparently the Doctor was doing it with Rose, so I guess that bothersome chastity thing wouldn’t be an issue.
