I think I'm really happy with this choice. I've been waiting for another stern looking, serious doctor and I hope this guy does the job. Plus he looks older and craggier, perfect for the 12th regeneration. I might even start watching the show again!

And prepare for the rest of us to do the collective eye roll for people being stupid like that(though most on FB didn't want him to be female at all).

There Cow, fixed your quote. I've seen "He's a Grandpa wtf." all over social media today and it just.. It just..

STOP. JUDGING. BEFORE. YOU. GIVE. HIM. A. CHANCE. K. THNX.

And to Junrei

^ This, I don't have anything against women(for goodness sakes I am one)I just personally, ME PERSONALLY, feel the Doctor should be a man. It just feels right to me that way but I cant really stand when people do that.. Like if its justified? Sure, but I'm sure it took them FOREVER to even pick the 12th Doctor and settle on someone they felt could fill the role.

Agreed on both accounts. Personally, I think the older guy looks quite swanky and he has an impressive resume(look him up on IMBd). Doesn't need to be young to be considered attractive or a decent actor(Shit isn't RDJ in his 40s or 50s now?). And yeah, while I know Timelords arent set in their genders, the Doctor, personally for me, should stay male.

It's a valid frustration. While I like Peter Capaldi, I was also mildly disheartened when I saw that the Doctor was going to be another generic looking white British guy. However, despite the fact that I'd like the Doctor to be a woman or a person of colour (or both), I do NOT want Moffat in control of that character. So, it's off to waiting again until the next Doctor.

I don't think I could get behind a female doctor. I just can't see him as one *shrug*

Wasn't saying it wasn't valid. It's just there's a difference between people being genuinely disappointed and people just whining for the sake of doing so(WoW is no different in those terms either). And he's not British. He's Scottish. :P David Tennant was Scottish too I think.

Eh, I'd like to think that sometimes the whining and genuine disappointment go hand in hand when you know you're powerless to stop something from happening, but you're still holding out on the small hope that it'll change. It'll stop soon enough, at any rate.

And, really? After a while all of BBC becomes a giant blur of Union Jacks and thick accents for me. U_U

You can express disappointment without the tantrums and whining. But I've already seen one person threatening to boycott Doctor Who cause it's not a woman or colored person. I just wanna :roll: at them cause that's just going overboard, imho.

Yup! Fun lil facts, no? and hey, I'm all for accents. XD

That's 99% of American tv for me. You ask me where in the states some random yank actor is from and I'd have no clue :lol:

I don't think it will go away anytime soon. Not on Tumblr it wont. That's a breeding whole that kind of person. It's kinda sad.

David Tennant's accent in the show is English tho. But that's acting!
