A question of priorities

[altariel]

Please let this infinitely more important story replace all this tedious Russell Brand nonsense. But who can ever replace him? Obama? McCain?

But, but, but! *wails*

I might consider despair, but I loved Christopher Eccleston, and looked on Tennant's arrival with deep suspicion.

Don't worry, historically they've done a good job of this kind of thing ;-)

I am clinging to this truth. ::nods:: Yup, clinging.

Paul Darrow, Geoffrey Bayldon, Lily Savage - who knows (as long as its not Colin Baker again I'm happy).

I gather Russell Brand's free.

I would totally watch Obama as the Doctor. "Unfortunately", I think McCain will be the one with time on his hands soon, and he would just scare children more than Daleks.

[uitlander]

I'd have to stop watching, and possibly be sick.

I fully expect Mr Obama's diary to be rather full for the next 4-8 years, and Willian Hartnell would give a more energetic performance dead that John McCain would alive. In any case, you know as well as I do that Chiwetel Ejiofor is the only rational choice for the role.

Perhaps Andrew Sachs - and grand-daughter?

HILLARY!

[iainjcoleman.livejournal.com]

With Sarah Palin as her straight-talkin', wise-crackin' sidekick? IT MUST BE.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

STRONG TRUTH.

[uitlander]

Yeah, point to him I think.

PATERSON! PATERSON!

Wah!

• Okay, it's fair enough that he wants to leave while it's still fun. Especially since he's probably having the time of his life with the RSC.
• And congratulations to the BBC publicity department for making us think that he would still be there in 2010.
• I'm kind of dreading his exit episode, though - with RTD and his idea of "spectacular", it's probably going to have a truly horribly idiotic plot. But I guess it will have rocking characterisation and huge angst, and it will make me miss Ten.
• No, I am not going to speculate on the replacement. We shall see when we shall see, and I shall judge him on his own merits. He could end up one of my favourite Doctors, you never know! He'll still be the Doctor.
• I'm still looking forward to Moffat taking over the helm. And I guess this means that it's a totally clean sweep, everything his own: new Doctor, new companion. Moffat won't be perfect, nobody is, but he will have a different set of weaknesses to RTD. And I'm getting a bit sick of RTD's failings.

Indeed. My own feeling is that maybe they thought this was a good day to release bad news.
I wonder if Patrick Stewart'll be free in 2010...

It was as if millions of voices cried out in terror... and were suddenly silenced. (Or at least reduced to sniffling lumps.)

I almost already feel sorry for whoever ends up filling his All-Stars. (;

LA LA! I can't hear you!

OMG. Barack Obama would be a totally awesome Dr Who. OMG. I wonder if we could make a case for the British television-watching public needing him more than the American people?

WELL WE DO.

Don't worry! The show's survived this kind of thing before!

I find regeneration time REALLY exciting. I'd have a regeneration every week if I could. Only then it would be Quantum Leap and it wouldn't be as good.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

I'm all excited about it! I love regenerations!
