I watched the first (new) season of Doctor Who. I loved it. I thought it was wonderful.
But last night, we started the new season. And I fell in geek love.
Right about here.
He challenged the dude with a sword. In his pajamas! And you can clearly see–he enjoyed it.
*swoon*
For those who don’t know, David Tennant (yes, that’s him) is the tenth Doctor Who. Naturally, since he’s a Time Lord, he can’t age as we do, yes? So they have to keep switching actors. But here’s the brilliant part–it’s not just a new actor. He’s a new man. When the Doctor regenerates, he becomes a different person, though with the memories and feelings of nine hundred years of being the Doctor.
As he said when asked who he was, “See, that’s the thing, I’m the Doctor, but beyond that, I … I just don’t know. I literally do not know who I am. So I’m testing. Am I … funny? Am I sarcastic? Sexy? Right old misery? Life and soul? Right-handed, left-handed, a gambler, a fighter, a coward, a traitor, a liar, a nervous wreck – I mean, judging by the evidence, I’ve certainly got a gob!” (gob = mouth)
Yes, dear, you certainly do. And I can’t wait to learn more about you both.
Not to mention I’m so looking forward to Jack’s reaction to the new doctor. *grin*
